Europe by the Hecla. IL is once more assorted
by the Memorial D;pl0notiqus, that Prince
>Maximsian has accepted the Mexican throne,
As this journal made the same assertion once
before enormously, we may dout, the authori-
~ OF les present statement, although the prcba
htties are that. NJ Spain expresses herself in
favor Of his 80 doing. aud the King Of
Belgium, the father-in-law Of the Prince,
h'liy- endorses his acceptance OF the i'm
periat honors proffered him by the dcputaticn
from The Mexican notaLles, MaSir,iicn will
accept. Ii is added that the Prncc made II

Mexican Emperor that the Western Powers
should guarantee his tenure q Office. That
Fraace, Spaio ard Austria have done so il
more than likely, il tho report Of the Princes
acceptance he correct and we are led to sup-
pose that England has not been backward in
following the example Of those Powers, il we
may Judge Of her course ia the matter by her
conduct toward. this countcy since The com.
mencement Of the rebellion.
The Paris Po'yie-a semi-oflical organ Of the
French government aud most unccmpro-
missing organ OF the Davis government
strongly advocates tho immediate recognition
OF tie con!ederacy by France The Po'rie as
serts that, with the vast accessions Of territory
which they would gain would be the eciai 0!
having done more for the abolition Of slavery
than any other nation as tie South will, in case

the slaves. TO all this must be added says the
Poi,is the fact that an alliance will. the con-
1cderacy would rcnder all attempts at inter
ference in Mexico on the part OF the federal
government quite out OF the question, ~ the
new States would form barrier between the
North and The proposed Mexican empire. The

uneasiness as regards the Intentions Of The
Emperor Napoleon.
There may be some foaada;ion for the ra-
mors OF Intervention which now roach us by
every European steamer. I'VE are inclined to
suppose that the acceptance of Macmillan will
lead TO recognition By France Of the Davis
government, and would warn our adminisira-
ton TO lose no time in making such preparations
as will enable rs 10 meet and successfully de.
feat all our foes. There must be no more indie
c'son or doubt. We mist have pro,npt and
decisive action, and we must use both
such measures and such men n will
give hope oil success. With such
resources as no Other Power ever possessed
we can compete with and deies, any coalition
or combination which may be made against us,
IL we will only be loyal 20 ourselves and act
aside all purposes save those for the defence
and restoration Of our glorious Union. The old
French republic. animated by such spirit
fought and conquered all Europe, aud only lost
the advantages she had gained because her
people were not sufficiently Intelligent to APP.
prcciaie The grea. prize they had won. The
people or the North are more powerful more
determined and more intelligent THAI were the
French. and they understand aud fully appre
cia,c the value Of their republican form of gov
crnment and the absolute necessity Of prcscry-
ing IL against is foes; but let those who are a:
the head OF our affairs do their duty towards
tic country, AID wc dare assert that The people
will do theirs.
There can be no doubt tha, we sill have
much TO accomplish ere orr task is ended We
hear to-day OF rcvcrscs In The Southwest which
should have been avoided but we see ia this
no occasion for dependency The people OF
the North are aware tha. the work they have
undcrakcn--thc suppression Of tho rebellion
is not an casy one. The vast extent OF country

are to be baitlc::a against; as well a. most for
midable and determined Toe. The object TO be
gained however. viii cause H. to overcome all
these Obstacles for we have cuorsnous
and as yet scarcely tried resources !;
we have men, vessels and money,
and in the end we shall surely defeat
the Vaccinations Of the rebels and their E,,-
ropean sympathizers. Napoleon shall find that
the Monroe doctrine is one which Europe must
respect. lie shall be Taught, as shall oil our
enemies. that on this continent we mnst rule
supreme.
