This Mexican Emnire.

Nobody but Frenchman would have con-
ceived the idea of erecting an empire on the
western continent, and establishing de-
scendant of the house Of Charlea " on the
throne. Napoleon, however, tried the en-
pertinent, and having carried his bayonets
into the City Of Mexico, is now engaged in
dsposing of the crown. Foreign files give
elaborate descriptions of the arrival of the
deputation from the Mexican assembly of
''nOtables'' at Trieste, to invest Maximil-
ian with the imperial authority to
which they have elected him. The
vote Of the notables," engrossed on
parchment, was enclosed in the handle of
sceptre of solid gold which had been sent
from MeXico-the work of Mexican artists.
Two eagles supporting the imperial crown,
with serpent in their beaks, encircled with a
garland of olives and laurel, were the emblems
OF their experimental sovereignty. The
president of the deputation was Mexican by
birth, but European by long residence, who
was now huckstering through the markets of
Europe an empire whose soil his feet has not
touched for twenty years. While offering the
crown to Macmillan the adventurer, of
course, made polite reference to the arch
dukes ancestry, under whose rule Mexico
had sometime or other enjoyed fabulous pros
perity; and the archduke himself could not
escape from the shadow of Charles V. in his
cautious and prudent reply. The allusion is
ominous of absolute despotism, if the magni-
ncent experiment ever attains to practical re-
suits. There was too the same cant and hypo-
crlsy in the speech of these traders in the in
dependence of a great people whom they
never saw, that the Emperor Charles used to
assume whenever he hal any particularly infer.
nal work on his hands. If there was weak
place assailable by his uncomfortable ambition
if the inquistion grew hungry and thirsty for
victims, his devils eyes grew sanctimonious
he named the prOmptings of his merciless will
the impulse of Divine Providence, and then
accomplished his work. These spectators,
also in large affairs, of which crowns and
thrones are the symbols, and through which
the liberties of great people are to be bough
and sold, also discover the "nDger OF God
OPPORTUNITY pointing in the direction of thei
design. But the assumption of special sane
timony for such purposes does not go SO fal

er. Times have changed and men with them
and even now, if the Mexican people, i'm
pressed by the fair seeming of the imperia
vision, or overcome by the intimidation o.
French bay0nets, consent to receive the en-
peror selected for them, he would find it i'm
possible to make any government secure on
the western continent with less privileges than
a liberal, enlightened, constitutional mon
archy-and for that the Mexicans, habituatetl
to annual revolutions-are not yet prepared.

School BoYs UNDER Decentralization
lads, averaging about ten or dozen years of
age, whose parents reside in East Worcester,
were yesterday arrested by the city marshal
for larceny Of photograph cards from the auc-
ton store at No. ll9 Main street. 1t appears
that the boys, who are members of various
schools in this city, had been in the habit of
going into this place while lettering on the
street, and the cards displayed looked too
tempting for them to resist pocketing such as
they could slyly secrete. These they carried
into their respective schools, and as they
made free of exhibiting them, the teachers be-
came suspicious, and after questioning sever
al, took measures to have those in whose
possession any Of the cards were found,
handed over to the city marshal, for
discipline. The lookup, with all these little
urchins in it, looked very much like school
room. The marshal, after administering the
proper rebuke and reprimand, let a portion Of
them go on promise of good behavior in the
future, while the more reprehensible of the
party, those who were ringleaders in the af-
fair were reserved for examination before the
police court this morning on complaints for
larceny. We forbear giving names at this
time.

On THEIR DIGNITY.-The Richmond and 9TH
er rebel journals are facilitating themselves on
the late expulsion of all British consuls from
the ''cOnfederacy." The consuls at Charles
ton, Savannah, Mobile, and other cities,
while advising British subjects generally to
acquiesce in the state military organizations,
yet warned them that in the event of being
brought into conflict with 1.-The forces of the
United States, the services required of them
would be such as no British subject could
be expected to perform. They would
be in palpable violation of the queens
proclamation of neutrality" Where
upon the rebel authorities peremptorily or
dered them to cease exercising consular func-
tons and promptly depart from the confeder-
acy. The comments of the rebel press are in
the "sour grapes" style-all admitting that
English friendship and recognition are past
hoping for, and if attainable would be poorly
worth the effort.
