ny by discussion, and which must be allowed
ID mature b. fore being brought forward for
decision, That Is why we haYe not spoken Of
the new phaea into which the Mexican ques-
ion has entered.
The name Of a prince closely allied to the
ruler IS also Interested in it. It Is necessary
that on neither side shall offence be given.
The solution Of such questions demaud pru-
dence and foresight; they are not advanced
By cr3lrg out ana making fuss. As yet mat
te.s are nearly at tho ZANE point Is they were
two years ago. The acceptance or rejection
Of the eroHn ,of Mexico is. for 90 far, per.
sonal sftair Of the Archduke Maximilian. The
Austrian Government, which cannot, how
ever, remain stranger to an Austrian question
has played no act IN It up to this time. has
taken no part in It. The Emperor Of the
French, Who Is in direct relations with the
Archduke, as even persisted In considering
tween himself ard the, ,Archduke, not be-
tween two States Of France and Austria: the
Proceedings Of the Sovereign Of France have
been as courteous %. they ,haTo been loyal IN
this matter. 7..,
> Il. the question were connected With the
interests Of the State, It would be necessary,
without doubt, for the, eounsellors Of the
crown to consider the responsibility which
would weigh upon then.; There IS no politi-
cal question that does not touch the qucation
Of money, and in this way the Parliament and
House Of Deputies will have cognizance of the
affair, If The House does not Itself take the
Initiative by interpretations,
The situation in Mexico may ultimately
lead to Quarre1s with America. but that eyont-
pality Is still distant oEc, for the Onion has
not yet conquered the Confederacy. Still,
the manner With which England will regard
the matter, and the obligations which would
grow out Of 1t to France would have much

But III this Is outside Of the question so
long as the affair has no political character,
but d purely personal character, which Is to be

We might then leave It to The prudence, tho
political Weldon, mud the inclination Of the
Archduke, to see whether he will consent to
the thing, and what are The guarantees to be
too skilled and experienced to accept the pro.
posal made to him by the Mexican deputalion
before the civil war shall have ended. He IL
