=" consequence Vi lne tnreatS made by the
clergy, the council of state received few days
since directions to let the prosecution fall to
the ground the seven prelates who last NAV
signed an electoral circular. Orders have
been transmitted to Gen. Forey to ascertain
and report without loss of time the state of the
public mind on the subject of a monarchial
| government. The Austrian ambassador has
once more brought forward the Archduke
Macmillan as a candidate for the crown
which is on the point of being created for that
people. Buta great many unexpected obiec-
tons have been raised against him. chiefly in
reference to the bad name acquired by his
family. 1t has also been objected that a Ger
man prince would not be likely to work well
with French army OF occupation, which it
would be necessary to keep there till the gov
eminent projected by the emperor shall have
taken root in the country, otherwise all the
plans OF those who desire to establish order
there would end in utter failure. Austria
neither would nor could provide the Archduke
Macmillan with the amount of foreign soldiers
necessary to keep down the revolutionary
tendencies OF the Mexicans, and the latter
would not tolerate the presence of IL Spanish
army. There is some talk of prince Napole~
on being sent out as king of Mexico But
the prince would not make n prOconsul such
as the emperor desires. Were he once to
take to governing, he would be too much in
earnest to play the part of puppet in his
cousins hands. He would, in case he accent.
ed the supreme power in that country, do all
that he could to render the presence of
French army unnecessary and assert its
right to self-government. 1t is also very
doubtful that prince Napoleon would be will
ling to reside in Mexico so constantly as the
possession OF its crown would render indis-
pensable. Spain has been brought round TO
agree to any plan the emperor may decide on
following. Her fears Tor the safety of Cuba
have been worked on with good effect in get
ing her to agree to any possible French poll.

In Mexico which would regard with jealousy

have advised him to proclaim boldly policy
of annexation, and through governor gen
eral rule the MeXicans, Just as Algeria is
governed by him through the duke of Mala-
kof. 1t is believed that England is opposed
to Mexico becoming French colony, and
sticks to the archduke Maximiiian as being

ticlently enlightened to resist the priests. and
sufficiently accustomed to the machinery of
government to understand how order must
be preserved.
FRENCH IDEAS ABOUT MEXICO
From the Paris spondenco DULY 10 of the Liver
pool journal.
The taking of Mexico has produced SO little
effect upon the public mind that the illumina-
tons ordered to be got up for the occasion by
the public companies, whose very tenure of
life depends on the sympathy they expressed
Tor the government, attracted no sort of Curl
Osity, and were passed over without the
smallest symptom of interest by the eager
crowd hurrying to the various railway sta
tons to obtain out Of Paris the breath OF fresh
air denied to them at this season within A
momentary attempt at emotion was hazarded
by the government permitting Il notice of the
approaching departure of Hubert Deslle to
regulate the system OF universal suffrage
which has been found to answer so admirably
in France towards iberatng the people from,
siavery-to Appear III Ito own J6tl.s,..ls, and
then to be cOntradicted by the Monteur
But the endeavor was perfectly Ineffective
no interest was created either by the affirma-
ton or the denial. Since then an expression
has been encouraged amongst the people CON
corning the form which the French idea" is
to take in Mexico; and it now assumes the
shape of the concession by the Mexican gov.
eminent of all the territory surrounding the
neck of land in the I,thmus of Tehauntepec,
most favorable for cutting the land to Join the
two oceans, which has bec0me the daily talk
and nightly dream of the emperor. Another
much encouraged 'idea" is the prospect of
possessing the silver districts of Mexico,
which, well explored and well worked by
French engineers, shall bring far greater
wealth to the Golfers Of France than either
the gold of Australia to those of England,
or the placers of California to those of
the United States. The French mouth,
meanwhile, is wide open, and French ears are
on the stretch, to catch the first take of the
increasing wealth and to listen to the first
stroke of the spade which shall disnter it for
the glory of France. Upon the whole the
news from Mexico, although satisfactory
enough, still wanted the zest of pitched bat
tie, and the further advance of the French
troops into the heart of the country is regard
ed with great disapprobation, and the new
deputies of the opposition, with the bran new
enthusiasm upon which is no spot, or speck,
or stain, seeing it is about to be used for
the first time, are meeting in committee and
assembling in commission to formulate their
insistence upon the matter of obtaining COM
plete and loyal declaration from the govern
ment concerning the length of time given to
the French troops for the occupation of Mexi-
co, and the expense to be incurred in MAIN
tanning them there.
From the Paris Correspondence DULY 49, OF the London
Courier.
That French vanity has been immensely
fattered by the news of the occupation of Mex
leo by French army need hardly be said.
The event has been celebrated by the firing of
cannon, the display of flags, and illumina-
tons But, to do the people justice, they pro-
fess to have had enough Of ''glory" in Mexi-
co. and that their general wish is to see
treaty concluded with the Mexican govern
ment without delay, and the French army
brought home. Unfortunately, however, the
emperor's projects are very different from the
wishes Of his people. He intends, it is said.
to leave the army, or at least great part of
it, in the country for some time to come, and
to insist on having tract of territory ceded to
France. 1t is even affirmed and many per-
sons in high position credit the assertion, that
he intends to take the whole of Mexico, and
make it a French colony; but it is not posi-
BILE to believe that he can contemplate anything
so very eXtravagant.
