MANat Ian q. EMPEROR OF
NLENAlO.

Ferdinand Macmillan Joseph, Arehluke of
Austria, whom the Assembly of Mexican Nota.
hles has just elected Emperor of Mexico, is the
oldest brothcr ol the rcipning Emperor Of Ausitia
lie was born IN the l;th Of July, 1882, and is
consequently thrty-0ne years Old. He was
married on the 27th Of July, 1857. to Maria
Charlotte, daughter OF the King of Belgium, hut
has no issue from this marriage. Archduke
MnNimlian is u Niue-A lmiial, aud chief com
mander of the Austrian Navy, and is reported to
have thorough familiarity with everything he
longing to the naval service. lie has the reputa-
ton OF being the most liberal among ali the
Austrian princes, and warm supporter Of the
constitution which his brother T. now trying to
dcveope in Austria.
The candidature of Archiuke Macmillan for
the Mexican throne is not new, for he was the
first choice both of Gen. Almonte and of tLe
French Government lie was sounded personal.
~ by Gen AnonIe and other prominent men Of
the Mouarchical party; aud although 10 official
announcement Of his intentions was nndc. he
may be presumed to have made no objection 10
accepting the offered throne otherwise the
Assembly OF NOtables would have hardly elected
him by 50 large majority 1t was also rumor-
cd at the beginning OF the French invasion that
negotiations were pending between Austria md
France respecting the Mexican throne, France
asked Austtia to consent To II ccssion Of Venetin
to the new Kingdom Of Italy if the new thtoue
OF Mexico were given 10 prince Of Austrian
house. To this intimation Austria is understood
TO have given fiat refusal. In Madrid the can
didature OF Archduke Mexamilian was anything
but popular, and the common feeling was that #
II purpose to convert Mexico into Il monarchy
was entertained. Spanish Prince should have
been selected for the honor.
We consider it probable that Maxamilian will
not show himself altogether opposed to comply
lug with the invitation of the Mexieans But he.
md the Emperor Of Austra, will probably first
endeavor To obtain from the European Powers
some kind OF guaranty for the new dynasty. or
course, no European Government viii have the
least hesitation in recognizing at once the new
Mexican Empire. All ofttem have FASTENED To
congratulate l.oiGs Napoleon upon the CAPTURE of
Puehln, and again upon the cnptnre Of the CITY
of Mexcu--thcy viii show equal haste TO pre-
sent their congratulations to the new Mexican
Emperor, whoever he may be " \. 7rilan,

FORTRESS MONROE. June a.
The flag of truce boat New York, from City
Point, arrived last evening The English and
Austrian consuls, George Moore and ID. Van
Sflierrd, were on boatd, having been ordered
out of the Confederate States by the rebel
government 1t has been arranged by the
FEDERAL and Confederate Commissioners that
surgeons shall not be treated as prisoners of
war. No exchange of officers can at present
be made. A number of our officers are held
by the rebel authorities under charge, intend
ing TO bring them under the operation of the
act of the rebel Congress, which consigns to
execution all officers taken in command of, or
in company with, armed negroes or mulattoes.
Col. Ludlow will not, by making any special
exchanges of officers, acknowledge the right
Of the rebel authorities to discriminate among
our forces by OBTAINING some and releasing
others. He insists that all shall be released
under the cartel, and we have enough rebel
officers now in our possession to hold in re-
serve for retaliation. Exchanges OF enlisted
men go on as heretofore.
Richmond papers of the 18th have been re-
ceived. which say the reported taking of Hell
ena some days since, grew out of the fact that
the rebel troops made feint on that place,
and succeeded in capturing wagon train and
some prisoners.

English subject from North Carolina, was put

THE DRIFT OF ENGLISH OPINIoN.-A time
must come, if it has not already come, when
the people of England, fair-play loving as they
are, must correct the hasty judgment they have
hitherto formed and after they have set forth
strongly our grounds of exception against the
Federal States, or against the Federal Gov
eminent, we must freely give our sympathy to
the side to which in the main it is due, and re-
ject, in tones of resentment and disgust those
hollow pretexts of the South which we have
too readily listened to- To the North we shall
come to say, We think you are wrong on
this and that point; but if your quarrel be
looked at broadly then we say yoa are right,
and We accord you frankly, although tardily,
our sympathy, and along with this sympathy
all the moral support which it implies and
which it can impart.' "-LNorth British Re-

The l.ecture ON the Amazon

BY Rev. j. G. Fletcher, at the State Street
Church last evening, was replete with impor-
tant, novel and interesting information, con-
corning region little known. The lecturer
sketched the progress made in Brazil since his
last visit; gave the impressions made upon
him by the advancement in railways, lin steam
communication, and in various other material
improvements; looked at the decline of slav-
cry, which had resulted in the actual gain in
the great productions of the country, notwith-
standing there were one million less slaves
than in 1852. From the Emperor down, all
were opposed to the system of involuntary
servitude, and looking forward to the time
when it would be extinguished. He spoke of
the gifted Emperor of Brazil, with whom he
has had closer intercourse than any other
foreigner.
The lecturer then took us to the greatest
river of the world, having its origin IN the
Hottest mountains of the western continent,
and flowing through a valley one million
square miles larger than the Mississippi
The Amazon is about as long as the Mississ-
ippi, including the Missouri, viz: 1000 miles.
At 1000 miles from the mouth, the river is
wider than the Mississippi anywhere in its
course, and at that point, Mr.. Fletcher saw a
Brazil steam Man of War, with all her guns
aboard, just as she had come from the ocean
In fertility and salubrity, no spot on the earth
can surpass the Amazon valley. Cotton, SUI
gar, Indian Corn and Rice, produce a humid
red fold, while the virgin forests were filled
with India Rubber, rich Spices, gums, &C.
Mr.. +. described the Victoria regids, which
he then saw floating in their queenly beauty
But space alone prevents us from giving a
more full report. The prospect of Brazil, the
lecturer said, is upward and onward-and in
the progress of liberal opinions, they are
about to open the Amazon and promote other
measures, which will ensure to the benefit Of
the Empire. We hope that many of our
Lyceums, the coming winter, will employ Mr.
Fletcher, who has Il subject that no one else
can treat.

DEERrNa HALL notwithstanding +,

DEERING HALL. = Notwithstanding the
great attraction in another direction last even
ing, Deering Hall was crowded to overlooking
to witness the performance OF 1.-THE Ameri-
can Cousin Miss Kate Reynolds taking the
part of Florence Trenchard. This lady is a
star, if not of the first, certainly of no mean
magnitude. Tonight "Coleen Bawn is to
be brought out, together with the Rough Dia-
mond.
We would suggest to the managers, that it
is not well to discredit ones own paper. No
man ever attains commanding credit by so
doing. To issue tickets for particular night
and then turn away the holder at the door
perhaps respectable ladies-is a mode of pro-
ceedure that will never command respect in
this community.
