Recently the Yankee Congress adopted, by unsnl-
nous VOTE Teolution declaring that ait does not ae
cord with the people OF the United Sta Chat is, with
the fixed convictions Of this BeopleD acknowledge
monsrchical governments erected the ruins Of any
republican government in America under the auspices
of any European2 2owsr.' The Herald thinks this Is
significant warning to LouIs Napoleon and treat.
ing of the subject says:
We have st length the expression Of an opinion from
the popular branch Of Congress which represents,
though in ths nidsst FORM ths universal public sent
ment of our loysl States in reference TO Louis Na-
poleons seizure OF Mexico. The Of this rssou.
ion, Mr. Davis Of Maryland Il chairman OF the House
committee on Forsien AfairA We mAy therefore,
assume that this important proposition was not intro
ducsd without some consultation with the executive
branch Of the G0vernment. Thus Eecspt tho reso-
luton reheeting the views Of the Administration.
When Mr. Davis says I'VE wish to declare against
European Power planting its foot on Mexican soil and
establishing empire there, either under offspring
OF the HRpsburgn or soms scion Of tie family Of Louis
Napoleon :; that I'VE wish the world 10 hear the
phatic declaration that the erection Of monarchy in
Mexico will not be recognized by tbs people Of the
Onhed StateS We cannot oSoos rem DIS oIneisl IeiA
ton that he speaks with the consent and approval OF
the Administration. II would in fact be fatal 10 The
Administration TO hold any other ground.
We have, however, from vHrious the other
side of the Atlantic, inf rmaon to the effect that Mr.
Dayton our minister Paris hss been authorised by
Mr. Seward Secretary Of State, say 10 the Emperor
nizs the Maxmiiian establishment the Government
Of Mexico for she equivalent of prOmiFe that the
Southern Confederaey Of JEFF Davis will not be reeog
mixed in any way by France established nation
afy. It is probable however, that Nj. Seward has
authorized any Ovsrturs It has been limited 70 the
recognition Of the hAximnn proteetOrats simply the
de facto Government OF Mexico, and to promise of
neutrality concerning It, in exchange for the neutrality
Of France IN this Important matter of Southern
bellIon. We shall know upon this subject when
the Senate shall have acted this House resolution
In the Senate tYethirds eoncurriDg In conjunction
with the President, Is our treatymAkiaR pOWsr. Mr.
Sumner, Senaul Chairman on Foreign Relations, msy
thus be eonsideied practically member OF the Cab
met holding the bsiRnce Of power upon any insrna-
tional question. HIS views in regard 70 England and
France, IS set forth soms time ago in his famous
Cooper Institute speech emphatic against any
kRuekng 70 Napoleon than this resolution from the
House. In any event although it IL possible that Mr.
Seward, BY appeal through Ar. Sumner may delay
the action Of the Senate, we know Of not solitary
member of that body who Is likely prove bold enough
face the universal public opinion OF the State ne rep
ressnts by voting against this House res1iution
The Emperor Napoleon cannot be mistaken In inter
preting this resolution covering another unanimously
the States reclaimed from the Tsbeionnamely, that
European monarchy In Mexico protaetorats tAOugh
tolerated for the presen must and will be remsded
sOon necessity may require convenience invite.
There is indeed intense feeling OF hostility through
this country this imperial Mexican programme Of
Gspseon; and the most that lhis Administration d.
safely attempt to do, in behalf Of peace with France
Is neutrality without rseOgnlt Of either Maximan
JEFF Davis. Our people ready now for direct
bsue with Napoleon but with the suppression Of JEFF
Davis, with without the consent of the AdminstFa-
tion Mexico, within The short Interval Of six months
of armed cannot be wholly disbAnded short Of this
achievement.
