on the Tuesday following At the request OF the French
Minister OF Foreign Affairs special carriages were pro-
yded for them by the Eastern Railroad Company and we
further learn they treated with the utmost dstinc-
ton along the line. The Ministers who represent the
Courts of Baden and Bavaria in Paris bad previously n"ti
fed to their respective Governments the departure OF the
depnaon and requested that they should be spared the
annoy of having their luggage examined by custom
house officers and otherwise be forwarded their way
as q mfortahiy aud speedily ssble On their
rival at Vienna the pr dent OF the depu Cutlery
de Estrada who has resided in Europe or at least has not
been in Mexico for than twenty years paid his
pec,s to Count Rechberg who received him in the most
gracious manner. The Emperor Francis Joseph was not
at Vienna at the moment having gone to Inspruk 10 the
Tro to be present ut the cell braon Of the national
nversary lie will receive deputation on their return
| from Miriam
M Cutlery de Estrada and his fellow delegates left
Vienna the lst for Trieste. They found difficulty
in getting quarters for the Archduke had been oblglng
enough to hire for them the whole OF the fret floor OF the
principal hotel in the town. where two chamberans were
in attendance to show them their 1t appears the
leading citizens of Trieste disputed with each other the
| honor of placing their equpages at their orders
THE depuaton drove to Mlramar Saturday in the
archduca carriage and received by the future EN-
peror surrounded by his adesde camp chamberns and
household all of in gala dresses After the usual

Mexico engrossed parchment 1t enclosed in the
handle of sceptrs Of soid gold, which had been sent
from Mexico and had been made the shortest notice by
Mexican artists This emblem Of sovereignty represents
two eagles supporting the Imperial crown with serpent
IN their beaks encircled with garland OF laures and
| olives.
IN Cutlery de Estrada the spok the
sion He described the events and vicissudes which had
led the Mexican nation to seek in the reesabhment of
monarchy the term Of their dscords which he showed TO
be the necessary quencs of all that has occurred
| the the old Spanish colonies As
matter Of course he paid just tribute Of homage to the
Emperor Napoleon Ill (and to France who took so lead
that in making choice of Austrian Prince the meta
bes had only rendered homsge the popular traditions
the country and that the most prosperous period
known by the Mexcans while they were under the
| domination of the Archduke's ancestors.
IN. Cutlery de Estrada grew warm with his theme.
The finger of God, be said, by endowng the Archduke
Ferdinand Maxmian with the richest and rares quail
ties pointed and designed him the object OF the unan-
nous choice of The people The Archduke could not
fuse the crown thus spontaneously and enthusiastically
offered to him without opposing the designs of Providence
aud II Providence had brought out to ght the gts and
merits of the Prince it clearly order to direct them
towards the fulfment Of he great work-tbe salvation
and regeneration of Mexico"
Tie Archduke replied to NJ Cutlery de Estrada by .
speech which had been previously submitted to the En-
pero bis brother aad approved This repy given in
telegram from " emar and is in the following words:
The wishes of the Mexican Assembly of Noabes have
touched deeply 1t but be exceedingly atter
ing for house that thy have urned their eyes to the
descendants of Charles
Although the msson Of maintaining the indeps ndenca
and welfare of Mexico solid foundation and with free
institutions is most noble one, must nevertheless in
complete accordance with the views IF the Emperor Ma
poeon declare that the monarchy cannot be
Legitimate and firm basis without spontaneous
preston If the wishes OF the whole Bation Ike
my acceptance of the throne dependent upon pebscite
| OF the whole country.
On the other hand it would be my duty ask for qua
rantes which are indispensable to Mexico against
the dangers which threaten integrity and ind pendenc,
Should these guarantees BE- obtained and the vote
of the nation be gren my favor am ready to accept
the subject 10 the approval of the Emperor, my
| brother.
Iu Providence should call me to this high mission
must at declare that it is my intention to open the
path OF progress by consttutn done by my bro
ther and after the completes phccalon Of the country,
to seal the fundamental law with oath BY such
| only and really national policy be called into
existenc, by which all parties forgetting all sputes,
would cooperate with in raising Mexico to promi-
| nent rank among nations.
Garry back with you these frank declarations to your
fellowciiizens and act in such that 1t may be-
come possible for the nation to declare what form of gov
| eminent it desires to have"
| The Archduke stated in conversation with the
bers of the dPpuation, that he would only accept the
crown if all these considerations fulfilled and that
he would now await their ful6msnt.
La France announces that most Of the Powers have
declared their Intention of recognising the Mexican
| Empire
The London Globe says that in face Of the language
held in the Northern States Of America against the
Mexican Empire the Archduke Macmillan il quite just-
fed in requiring guarantees for the integrity aud ndrpen-
dence Of the Empire and that doubt the Great
Powers will give the most friendly confederation to the
ect but it is which requires the most careful con-
| side alton.
The London Times remarks the position taken by
| the Archduke: The demand of guaranteed ndepen-
dence the in which this phrase is used with
spect to Gree for instance b unlikely TO be listened
to by the European Powers that hardly think that
the Archduke seriously intends to make his acceptance
contingent his obtaining it, That France should give
guaranty for the security and independence OF the new
Government in its first days Of difficulty is than
just and hardly imagine that the Courts OF Paris
aud Vienna will fail TO to understanding this
point but il may be that the Archduke locks for
thing also from The opinion Of tn country will be in
favor Of any Government which promises to restore quiet
to Me xico and there is think general wish that the
Archduke may fud the difficulties which lie in his WY not
insurmountsble This feeling WILL doubt not find its
ment and hearty cooperation with it for all good OBJ
jects Our own friendship and support we will readily
guaranty; to go further our principles forbid u.s."
1t believed that the conditions of the Archdukes
ceptance of the the those named in
October, 1861 according t, which he considers the
operation Of France aud England t. be the only by
which order can be reestabshed, and thai free
fesation Of the voice of the whole naGD absolutely
cessary. ....
