The Mexican Monarchy.

1t appears frun the diplomatic correspon-
that rumors were rife in Paris last Autumn,
that we were only awaiting the determination
Of our domestic troubles TO make war upon the
French soldiers and drive them out Of Mexico.
These rumors were carefully nursed and in
dustriously circulated by the friends of JEFF.
Davis and his traitorous crew. Such reports,
thus aided, were circulated and intended to
injure US in the estimation of the French peo-
pie. Their object was to hurry up the Empe-
ror to recognize the Confederate States as a
nation entitled TO all the privileges and i'm
munities to which other powers are entitled.
Most industriously did the friends of seces-
sion work in Paris to bring about such rec
ignition; but Louis Napoleon is shire wd and
cautious manager Of his country's affairs, and
Is not often caught mapping. This Mexican
business he has managed with much adroit-
ness, and we have abundant reason for believ-
Ing that he has not always acted in good faith.
Knowing full well the sentiments and opin-
Ions OF the American government and people
In relation to the establishment of monar-
chy upon the ruins of the Mexican Republic,
and quite conscious of the solicitude We have
always felt for the welfare of that country, he
has constantly assured the civilized world that
his purpose and determination were to leave
the people of Mexico entirely free TO choose
their own form of government-his sole OBJ
ject being 10 collect few debts which the
Aexicans owed his subjects. Now we are in
clined 10 the opinion that he has artfuly con-
cealed other and more important objects of
this raid upon Mexico. Time will show. He
has been informed by Mr. Seward that the in
herent normal opinion of Mexico favors a
government republican in form. And he
knew this fact well enough before, and that
popular opinion in this country has constant
ly invigorated those republican instincts in
the Mexican people.
Our government has assured this ambitious
Emperor through Mr.. Seward, that "this gov
erument believes that foreign resistance, or at
tempts TO control American civilization. must
and will fall before the ceaseless and ever in
creasing activity Of the material, moral and
political forces which peculiarly belong to the
American continent Nor do the United States
deny that in their opinion their own safety
and the cheerful destiny to which they aspire,
are intimately dependent on the continuance
OF republican institutions throughout Amer
ica."
This is plain language and easily to be un-
derstood by less shrewd person than Louis
Napoleon. But then all this was no news to
him; and the resolution of the House in Con-
gress recently passed, protesting against tie
establishment of monarchical government
on the ruins of any republican government in
America, does not particularly enlighten him,
for he has always known the opinion of the
people Of the United States upon this subject;
therefore one need not be alarmed at such an

expression of opinion by the popular branch
of Congress, lest it should excite the French
Emperor and drive him to recognize the Con-
federate States. We have no such fears. 1t
is believed by many that the Emperor would
never have sent his troops to Mexico to con-
quer that country, If our Union had not been
ruptured, and our domestic troubles so great
and embarrassing. That may be so, and yet
our fears are not increased by such considera-
tions. Louis Napoleon don't desire war with
us, and especially at time when all Europe
is treading upon a volcano which may burst
out and change the map of that country. Be-
sides, he has work enough at home in his own
city to employ his time and talents. Opposl-
ton to him is increasing every day, and re-
publican fires still burn brightly in French
hearts. lie is by no means ignorant of such
facts and demonstrations. They are daily oc-
curing under his imperial nose. Whatever
his object may have been 10 sending his troops
across the ocean to Mexico, we believe that
Macmillan will not long wear Mexican
crown, If one is placed on his head through
the fundamentally of this ambitious Empe-
ror. We need not be too much excited about
Mexican affairs at present. We can afford to
wait awhile and see what the days will bring
forth. Let us be calm and considerable. God
will give us time enough to crush out the re-
belion and to attend to other wrongs on the
earth

THE PORTLAND CADETs.-"W. III. H." in
forms us the organization of military COM
pany to be known as the portland Cadets
about sixty-fve in number, and mostly clerks
of this city. The object of the organization
is to make the members perfect in military
drill. Their Captain-"Little Jack" (White)
is thoroughly posted in infantry tactics, is
good disciplinarian, and a great favorite with
his company. Our correspondent thinks well
oil this and similar organizations, and suggests
that with two or three such companies in the
city, we might be able TO furnish escort for re-
turning veterans, thus making them feel that
they are not forgotten by their home friends.

In the regiment The regiment left Franklin,
La, which is situated near the coast about
half way from New Orleans to the Texas
frontier, on the 18th Of March, and, marching
in southwesterly direction, reached Alex
andria, on Red River, in eleven days, making
from fourteen to eighteen miles day. por-
ton of the way the roads were bad from
heavy rains. The men stood the march WELL
those falling in the rear always coming up at
night. Noenemy was fallen in with on the
route. The guerrillas prudently kept out of
the way. At Alexandria there were from
10000 to 10000 troops, including 5000 caval-
ry. About dozen gunboats were lying in
the river. The regiment was to leave for
ShIeveport-in the Northwest corner of the
State-in few days.

Capture of blockade Runners.

Information has been received at the Navy

companying it, he says:-"To Offset the whole
number required, can be counted Drafted
Men entered the service, Substitutes, Com
mutations, Volunteers, and re-enlistments in

We apprehend, when the re-enlistments in
the 18th and 18th Regiments are heard from,
and 1t is ascertained how many men our city
is to be credited with for re-enlistments in the

FINE PAINTING.-In the window OF Mr..
VIM. C. Beckett, 1877 Middle Street, may be
seen on exhibition, new landscape scene by
Mr.. c. Z. Beckett, who, as landscape pain
ter, has few superiors. The painting in ques-
ton is view Of "Stratford Hollow" lovely
spot in North Stratford, VT, near where the
Grand Trunk Railroad strikes the Connecti-
cut river. In the foreground is a view of the
road, with train of cars approaching. An
Irish shanty and a crew of laborers engaged
in lcveling up the track, with some trees CON-
mon to the neighborhood, are the other notice
able objects in this part Of the view. In the
distance Is the little village Of "Stratford Hol-
low" the river sleeping in the sunbeams, the
towering mountains and the feecy clouds
floating above their submits, all combining
TO make up picture on which the eye may
long rest without firing. The perspective is
perfect, the finish is delcately fine and natural
and the whole makeup of the scene betrays
degree OF artistic taste and executive skill on
the part of the artist of which he may well
feel proud. The picture is elegantly framed,
and is a beautiful ornament for some wealthy
gentlemau's paror.
