MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

MEXICO, Oct. 10.
Upon the 3d inst. the Emperor Maximilian ad-
dressed a proclamation to the Mexican people, and
promulgated a decree intended to put an end to the
troubles still agitating some of the provinces. The
following is the text of the proclamation :
" Mexicans,---The cause sustained with so much
valour and constancy by Don Benito Juarez had
already succumbed, not only before the national
will, but before the law itself, which that chief in-

yoked in support of his claims. This cause,'having
now degenerated into faction, has been abandoned
by the fact of its chief's departure from the country.
" The national Government has been long in-
dulgent, and has lavished acts of clemency to leave
to men who had gone astray—not knowing the I
position of affairs—the possibility of uniting them-
selves to the majority of the nation and of entering

" Henceforth the struggle will be between the
honourable men of the nation and the bands of bri-
gands and malefactors. The time of indulgence is
past ; it will no longer be shown to the despotism
of the banditti, to those who burn villages, rob, and
assassinate peaceful citizens, helpless old men, and
undefended women.
" Strong in its power the Government will hence-
forth be inflexible in chastisement, as well as in
requiring the rights of civilisation, respect for
humanity, and the requirements of morality.
(Signed) " MAXIMILIAN."
The decree accompanying the proclamation is of
a very stringent character. It ordains that in
future all persons found in arms against the Go-
vernment shall betried by court-martial, and, if
found guilty, executed within 24 hours. The same
tribunal shall decide what punishment shall be in-
flicted upon those who assist guerrilleros with money,
advice, arms, provsions, &c., or who harbour or
receive them into their houses, upon persons
spreading false reports calculated to disturb
public tranquillity, and upon landowners who
do not give the earliest possible notice to
the authorities of the presence of a band
upon their properties. Provision is made for
imprisonment or fine being substituted for the capi-
tal penalty in cases of minor culpability. The de-
cree further orders that all inhabitants between 18
and 55, not being physically incapable, shall be
bound, upon pain of fine or imprisonment, to take
up arms in support of the authorities against guer-
rilleros. An amnesty is proclaimed to all persons
in arms against the Government or public order
who shall apply for pardon before the 15th Nov
The decree is signed by the Emperor, and counter.
signed by all the Ministers.

we have to say that the bride wore a splendid white
silk dress, over which descended a veil of Llonitoll
lace of the richest manufacture, which was attached
to her head by a wreath of orange blossoms. The
fair bridesmaids—the Hon. Paulina and Margaret,
Southwell, Miss Eva Digby Boycott, and Miss Her'
bert—wore similar costumes, viz., a dress of white
silk elegantly trimmed with Denmark blue velvet.
