THE NEW CONSTITUTION FOR MEXICO.

The Indfpendance Beige says —" Of all the news
brought from Mexico by the last transatlantic
steamer, and which is published by the Moniker,
the most important k that of the promulgation of
the provisional constitution of the Mexican em-
pire. It could not be other than provisional, in
fact, for while ensuring to his subjects civil
liberty, equality before the law, personal safety,
property, the exercise of their worship, the liberty
of publishing their opinions, the Emperor Maxi-
milian, pending definitive organisation, reserves to
himself *Lomeli political rights ; he alone repre-
sents the national sovereignty and all authority.
The statute which has just been published, there-
fore, is anything but a fundamental law or consti-
tutional work."
Upon the same subject, the Temps of yesterday
says:
Among the state deourneste which arrived from Mexico
yesterday figures an organic statute promulgated on the
10th of April by Maximilian, nod intended, says the short
preamble which precedes it, to prepare the definitivii one-
Ideation of the Mexican empire. This statute, in the re-
production of it gives by the Manias's, is called provilosal.
orradthe country to which it applies hasooneequently emerged
from the provisional state in which it ham existed eves
aims the seressioo of the young Emperor only to enter upon
another provisional Mete. The Mminin empire, which
imetows upon itself the name of a moderate hereditary mo-
narchy under a catholic primes, reeemisse that it emanated
from the national sovereignty; but the Mahn' does not at
present admit any division of power ; it institutes so
lative chambers, and until it is otherwise ordained in the
definitive organisation of the motaircbiesi establishment it
is the Emperor alone who represents the sovereignty, and
who *amebas it is all its breaches, either by himself or
by the( tetigicietbry of the authorities and the polls
fenetionaries, the most important of whom, next to the
midst's", are Imperial commissaries, a kind of wiser doses-
nics placed temporarily at the head of the eight greet ad-
ministrative divisions, and the payola commandiag the
eight great military divisions, of the empire. The taxes
are anneal, but they are riot voted for want of a deliberative
assemblytbey are simply decried.
The Temps then gives a summary of the prin-
cipal dispositions of the constitution. Mexico is
divided into fifty prefectures, and a proportional
number of districts and communes. The prefect
' is assisted by a council of government, none of the
members of which, however, will be elected. The
municipalities will be choeen direct by the people,
but the mayors will be appointed by the Emperor
or the pretecte. The suffrage belongs to all Mexi-
cans, but the exercise of it is accorded only to
those who have "honest means of existence." In-
dividual security is guaranteed, and no one can be
put in prison except on a warrant from the compe-
tent authorities. The liberty of the press is pro-
claimed, but journals can be suspended by Imperial
decree in the interest& of peace and public order.
"Such," adds the Temps, "are the principal fea-
tures of the provisional Mexican statute. With
the best disposition in the world it is difficult to
see in i t anything else than a continuation of the
dictatorship."
