The Empire of Mexico.

(From the Times Correspondent.)
MEXICO, Oct. 29:1j
After the brilliant reception the Emperor no
everywhere met with in the interior it would
si,
absurd to contend that the great bulk of the 14e of
can nation is not in favour of the new orderot
things, and it is therefore fair to presume '
England will soon follow the example set her ia
France, Spain, Holland, Russia, Italy, and Sicitlg.ere;
land, and officially recognise the Mexican B°Plao
that this recognition is anxiously looked for
died
in the highest circles, and that some little (he'd
pointment has been experienced in consequecee to
its having been so long delayed it would be yelp
deny.
It has often been said that " Mexico is a eon fp
of anomalies," that what takes place here is sareoej,
be the contrary of what, under similar circuroste, to
would have taken place in any other part 01'
world, and such really would seem to be the cio
for we find the French Government supportieg.a
intervention, the English Government demurr„eo
to it —the English nation applauding it, the Freiots
people criticising it ; and while French eaPittlp%
are holding back, British capitalists are emblifriti-el
in banks, railroads, mining, gas, and every e;
description of company. At first sight, 00°100
the two nations and their respective Govern
appear to be acting completely at cross pure,rte
Such, however, is not the case. Each Ge/clio
ment and people acts according to its retitle)
instinct. The French Government supports of
intervention because it adds to the gl°ll
France, and tallies with the far-sighted P°lio,llto
Napoleon 111. The English Government deree; 0
it because it professes to be utterly indifferen
to what takes place on this part of the Aulefr,gatt
continent. The English nation applaud it bet at
the establishment of a firm and settled Governi—jol
in Mexico will open up a vast field to comoetcor
and industrial enterprises, besides insuring the Phero
ment of many millions of dollars which would etly#
wise be lost ; and the French people criticise it„,eti
cause it has entailed upon France sacrifices
and money, in their opinion, far more than oorn°3.irerl,
surate with any advantages hereafter to be dilrlsibig
All these reasons may be supported by very P111:1001
arguments, although I am inclined to tbin'iietter
John Bull in the end would get rather the " foe
of the discussion. Such being the case, t° pe
o
pose that Earl Russell, notwithstanding hie of
rent indifference, is not alive to the interest
his countrymen would be to question his c°fro0I)0
tency as a Minister of the Crown. Far be itnofg
me to be guilty of such heresy. No one P-oei
better than his Lordship that this is the lest ioi
only chance Mexico will ever have of maintii.is sbo
her independence, and that if the Empire 01 or
will revert to a state of anarchy far worse than
reo9
thing that has yet been witnessed; that all iatctoble
will go by the board, and that no resPtcpifil
foreigner will be able to reside in the Oa to
therefore it is, no doubt, that his Lordship eetiola
so grave a matter with due caution and delibereiod
feeling and knowing that if the prestige of

is to be maintained the recognition of the 4°oo.
must be followed by something more than od
moral support. The Emperor Maximilian i 8

cffices of one party, has been put in the P°lrgell
of an estate in which others are far more 114.414
interested than he is himself, and who is will
devote all his time and labour towards the i°ll3ooo
ment of that estate in hopes that his co-Pe theit
will find it to their advantage to lend bit°
