The Mexican Minister at Paris has been en-
deavorirg to obtain Swiss emigrants for the set
Element of the frontier. He states this himself
in letter, on account he says, of a report getting
current that they we're wanted for guard for the
President, who was reported to have the insen-
ton of making himself Emperor. The Minister
says:
"The supposition that he was going TO make him.
self Emperor, contrasts, certainly with the call to
the people, which the illusirOus President has just
made to the end that by means Of a universal vote.
they should manifest Il cir will with regard TO his
fnuing III power 10 organize all the branches of pub
lie administration.
Now the Minister may say what he will but it
is an Offense to common sense TO intimate that
this election was anything like the manifestation
of the will Of the people. 1t is well known here
that the intention to Danish every one who
voted sgainst him, Santa ADDa)-and this was
done. Many Thousands were under the necessity
OF choosing between Punishment and voting in his
favor and of the two evils they thought they
chose the least Allwere compelled to vote, and TO
vote against him TO be exiled Traits the fact.
