to-day says :
" We are happy to be able to announce that his
Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand-
Maximilian accepts, with the consent of his august
brother, the Emperor of Austria, the crown of the
new Mexican empire.
" The first overtures made to the Court of Vienna
touching the candidature of the Archduke
Maximilian to the throne of Mexico date
from the month of October, 1861. The
Emperor Francis Joseph then replied that
although appreciating at its just value the
preference accorded to his dynasty, he left his
brother sole arbiter to decide when the moment
should come to take a definite resolution. But, as
it was important to know if, and to what point, the
Court of Vienna would be willing to realise the
wishes of the Mexican nation, his Apostolic
Majesty sent Count Rechberg, immediately after
the first confidential overtures with the Court of the
Tuileries to the chateau possessed by the Archduke
Maximilian at Trieste, Where his Imperial High-
ness habitually resides.
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs was instructed
to represent to the Prince the high destiny to which
the Mexican people and the personal sympathies of
Napoleon 111. would call him on the successful
issue of the French expedition. As we have said,
Count Rechberg was authorised to declare to his
Imperial Highness that the Emperor Francis
Joseph, as chief of the Imperial family, left him
full and entire liberty to take the part which suited
him best.

" The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Was

he had built the retreat of Misamor in order to re-
main henceforth a stranger to politics, the Emperor
of the French should have indicated him to the
choice of the Mexican people to fulfil so great.
and elevated a mission as the pacification and
regeneration of the ancient empire of Montezuma
"Bat at the same time, the Archduke made the
acceptance of this mission, beset with so many diffi-
culties, dependent upon certain conditions, which,
to be well understood and estimated, merit ulte-

rior explanation.
" We shall at present confine ourselves to stating
that the essential condition, viz. :--‘ That the re-
establishment of the monarchy in Mexico, as well
as the election of the Prince as future Sovereign,
shall emanate from the spontaneous movement of
the country,'

"The other conditions which are more within the
domain of diplomacy are no less assured. From the
month of October, 1851, the Archduke Maximilian
arrival in Mexico would be looked upon by all
parties as the dawn of an era of peace and pros-
perity. A
few months ago the venerable Arch-
bishop of Mexico went in person to the palace of
Misamor to urge the Prince in the name of religion
and of the Whole Mexican episcopate to accept
the holy and glorious mission which Divine Pro-
vidence had predestined him. The worthy prelate
had the consolation on leaving Misamor of knowing
that the Archduke would no longer hesitate, in the

event of the Mexican throne being re-established
under the conditions specified by his Imperial
Highness at the opening of the negotiations.
"The Archduke had therefore already entered
into more than a moral engagement towards the
the Mexican episcopate and the notables of the
country, who, before proclaiming his election, were
anxious to have a certainty of his acceptance.
