Louis Napoleon, through Gen. Forey, has
proclaimed Mexico an empire, and appointed
Maximilian, brother of the emperor of Aus.
tria, to be his emperor in Mexico But his
real intentions will soon be more distinctly
apparent. The following extracts from French
and English papers will interest those who
study this Mexican question =
PERMANENCr OF FRENCH OCCUPATION.
From La Nation of Paris. July Is.
The French occupation of Mexico will last
as long as will be necessary to assure forever
in that country the operation of an honest and
regular government. The people themselves
would eventually be called upon to decide.
In every case France would take possession
of Sonora, and would establish in one of the
ports of that region French military station
for the protection of her commerce, and of
such Frenchmen as might go there to reside
We understand that already the government is
calling tine attention of capitalists to numerous
sources OF wealth to be exploited in that mag
nlhcent country. This appeal to industry,
and the sending Of troops and munitions that
are being got ready in our arsenals and ports,
are of nature to lead to the belief that the
government expects to be installed at Mexico
for quite long time.
LORD PALMERsToN INCLINED TO GRUMBLE.
From La Patrie, July Is
The news of the surrender of Mexico, and
of its occupation by the French troops, has
thrown the English press into state of as
constituent which the Morning Post does not
conceal. Lord Palmerston's journal even
evinces great embarrassment as to applauding
this fortunate event. Unable to deny its i'm
portance, it endeavors to question the good

gular disposition on the part of ministerial
journal! Strange attitude for the organ of an
allied government But it must
be recollected that if the English cabinet did
consent, nearly two years ago, to take part in
an expedition to Mexico, it not only olsen
gagged itself at Soledad, but even made COM
mon cause for time with the Juarez govern
ment, through the British minister at Mexico
The surrender of the Mexican capital is,
therefore, almost defeat for Lord Palmers-
tons policy. Still, it would have been better
for the Post to have disSimula!ed its regrets,
for we are convinced that Lord PamerstOn
will not fail, if he have the opportunity, to
applaud in the house of commons the last
success of our expedition. The diplomacy of
the cabinet of ST. James has inexhaustible re-
sources; it knows how to hold itself prepared
for all events, and while the representative of
England alone obtained the right OF SO)Ourn-

rez, Lord Palmerston at London left the door
open for new negotiations, so that the queens
government might take advantage of the VIC
tories of France.
The English minister has nothing more to
DO at Mexico; but Lord Palmerston is setting
himself to work at London and at Paris.
THE POPE, THE EMPEROR AND MEXICO.

Dellile has received any commission from the

in the emperor's way whenever an appeal shall
be made to plebiscite. The pope it appears.
