LATEST INTELLIGENCE. •

MEXICO, VENETIA, AND THE ARCHDUKE

MAXiMILIAN.

We read in 3-esterclayie Itidepesdana :

The Ostend du Deoub;, the organ of Count Reclaim&
makes an important declaration, following upon that of the
Vienna Gazette, in which it was said that the Austrian
government, regarding any cemon of Venetia as ignomi•
Motu, would never consent that any proposition cif the
kind should be made to it. This declaration bad the fault
of being too vague in the contradiction which it pre to the
rumour, spread abroad in reference to the conditions on
which Austria might abandon Venetia. It recognised et
once the fact of a proposition of cession ; the connexion
existing between that proposition and the candidature of
Prince Maximilian for the throne of Mexico ; and, lastly,
the existence of that candidature. The Gautte du Danube

establishes a necessary distinction between these different
points. It willingly admits that the named the lespirees
brother has been mentioned in secret conferences, ceased by
the intervention of England, France, and Spain • but it de.
nies that there exist' any bond whateorer between the Mexican
question and the sbandosment by Austria of its territorial
passasims Is Italy.

Tie declaration is, we say, important. It confirms,
fa feet, all that we have add of the project, conceived at
Paris and presented at Vienna, of placing the Archduke
Maxiadlisa on the throne of Mexico. At any rate, oa this
point we were well informed. The future will show whether,
la spit, of official and officious denials, we were equally
right on the second point, namely, that the acceptance by
the house of Hapsburg-Lorraine of a second throne for one
of its princes on the other side of the ocean, combined with
territorial compensations in the east, would lead to the
pacido solution of one of the greatest difficulties of Euro-
pean politics—the complete emancipation of Italy. Two of
our Paris oorreapood•ota pateist in helieving this. We OM
only set their kapteseions by the side of the language need
at Vienna end nave the issue to events.

Then is, however, ogle important remark to be made in
the interest even of the candidature of the Archduke

Ma,thollian ; it ie, that in putting said* all connexion be-
tween the Venetian question and this candidature, the
cabinet of Vienna destroys its best chances. Franc%
England, and Spain bare no motive for mating a kingdom
in America for an Austrian archduke if that arrangement
will not advance the interests of peace in Europe. Why
give the preference to an Austrian archduke over some
other catholic prince, Spanish or Italian—Francis IL,
for example, or the Grand fluke of Tuecany ? The
candidature of Frain* Maximilian, whatever may be his
merits, has for its principal object the advantages which
may malt from it as regards the settlement of Italian
affairs, and it le only on account of these advantages
that it will be supported by the current of public
opiaion. They will do well to remember this at Vieuea,
if they desire to amps grand complications in which the
empire might founder, and if they wish to extend the lustre
of the sovereign hones se far ea the dominions once =led
over by the Emperor Charles V.
