Rappahannock, at Charleston and the 22d
ward Of New York, are now manufacturing
foreign imbroglios at the rate Of one per diem,
at least. A city cotemporary has supplied the

msnt Of the Monroe doctrine in Mexico, France
would be able to bring other Powers with her
into the war that would ensue."
The inducing Of the Archduke Macmillan to
accept the throne of Mexico is the main feature
OF this grand plot, penetrated thus acutely by q
CAris correspondent OF the New York Times.
But before we allow our nerves to be too much
shaken by the news, let us be sure that Maxi.
milan has, or will accept the throne.
The Vienna Gazette, the Official organ OF the
Austrian Government, says that the accept
ance IS plainly Impossible, except under certain
impracticable conditions.
Both the popular and semi. ofIicial journals
OF Austria have taken q similar Tone The
Presse OF Vienna and the UsL UsupsCne rosI
have spoken moro strongly. The latter Jour
nal, which is one Of the most popular and best
informed in the Austrian empire, thus writes :
"Not doubt can be entertained for q moment
as TO the definite decision in q matter born of
intrigues, and nourished by invasion and Sc
Questration. This Aezican cropn is not fit for a
noble German prince" The Ost Deutsche Post
proceeds to show that in point Of fact no at
tempt has been or can have been made to elicit
the will Of the mass Of the population, without
which the Archdu ke acceptance could not be
thought Of. 1t asserts that the IS notables " who
have elected him are merely the packed nomi-
nees Of Forey and Almonts.
The Presse Of Vienna, in still more indignant
language, asserts the same thing. Nor is there
any doubt that this is the literal truth. The
Juggle OF the Savoyard ballot-boxes is nothing
to Y. The Archduke knows that, as regards
popular assent, he has nothing to 20 upon The
Ost Deutsche Post goes SO far as to say that
"public opinion, which is anything but well
anected toward the imperial summons, will be
a"cited in some authentic manner to regard that
summons as nererlhdrino been issued" 1t wishes,
also, to spare any 6 Mexican deputation an I'M
necessary journey from France to Vienna"
The Austrian Gazette again says that Maxi.
milan could never accept throne from party;
and that until the whole country shall have
submitted there can be no question about it.
The PTesse Indignantly declares the offer of the
mexican throne to be a mere attempt to shelter the
discredit Of the Mexican expedition unde, the name
Of an Austrian prince.
The London NewS says in this connection:
1--WE are entitled to assume from all these
statements, both official and popular, not only
Mdt the Archduke has made no acceptance,
but that the offer presented to him is equally inpi-
dioas in the eyes Of the Government and unpopular
acih the public Of America;'
Whenever active army operations at home
recommence, supplying the needed newspaper
pabulum, we shall probably hear less of these
portentous foreign complications.
