Paris papers announce that a considerable reinforcement of the French

fleet off the coast of Mexico is to be made immediately, and that vessels will be sent from Toulon sufficient to raise the blockading squadron to twenty-two men of war, to be commanded by Admiral BAUDIN.

There have been rumours in Paris that the Hollando-Belgian question was assuming a serious aspect, in consequence of the determination of Prussia to give effectual support to the King of Holland; and that a French corps of thirty thousand men, under Marshal GERARD, would be ordered to the Rhine. Count MOLE was said to have commenced negotiations with DPPIN and others to join his feeble Administration. Louis NAPOLEON, it was believed, would relieve the Swiss Vorort from embarrassment, by voluntarily quitting their territory.
