! NANIMILIAN's cTT-THRonrs IN EUROPE.
Permission has been given by the Empe-
rors of Austria and France and BY the King
/ of the Belgians, for the recruitment of pick
/ ed regiments in their several dominions, to
/ be sent 70 Maximilian's aid. Paris is full of
I military adventurcrS mercenary fellows
| whose bread is slaughter and plunder-and
who are collecting, by all sorts of induce
menrS, others as bad as themselves. They
! promise better pay than any European SER
vice gives; allude to the richness OF the Wes-
tern World, and its defenceleSs state; hint
at contiguous people embroiled in war,
whose country is full OF rich cities, and
whose commerce has no adequate navy to
protect it; and say that his Highuess, the En-
perOr Macmillan, cannot fail to bear in es-
pecial favor those who volunteer 70 uphold
his fortunes in the outset. An ariStocra-
cy, they interpolate, " is to be ordained in
Mexico, and no distinction will be made IN
selecting candidates for titles and honors be-
tween Europeans or MeXicans." We may
judge OF the personal consistency Of Maxi
milan, when he proclaims himself with one
voice the free choice of the Mexican people,
and with another summons thousands of
desperate Adventures to assist him in crush
ing the last vestige ef Mexican liberty.
TIE EMPERoR's BoDY-GUARp.
How greatly the condition OF society in the
conquered republic will be altered, we may
infer from a notice Of the Emperor's body
guard. \ Belgian adveuturcr has received
commission to recruit 2,5OO men for this
especial duty. They will form part of the
garrison Of Mexico, but will act more imme-
diatcly rs the protectors Of the palace and
court These soldiers can, for the most part,
speak no Spanish; they will be forbidden to
acquire the language OF the citizens OF Next
co. so that no sympathy can ever be eStab-
lishcl between themselves and the people.
They will be paid and equipped without re-
gard 10 expense, and knowing nothing OF
Constitutional principles, bound to the En-
peror not the Empire, and careless OF blood
or robbery. will form hit adjuncts for the most
wicked and Wholesale subverSion of free gov
ernment which history has recorded. The
Mexican people will be Of less value than the
native Cubans, under Spanish occupation;
for Cuba is governed by yiceroy, Mexico by
: present deSpot. The French, AuStrlans
and BelgianS will become the Norman con-
querOrs the Mexicans, the scattered Saxons.
The story Of Lopez, who died for Cuban lpde-
penGence, will be hundred times repeated
in Mexico under Austrian dominion, unless
the utter hopeleSSneSs Of their cause, with all
Europe combined against them and America
afraid, should deter the few bold spirits from
giving up their lives for their country.
THE MEXICAN COURT.
As easy will be the formation of Court,
the arrangements for which are already COM
pleted. The Austrian classification of titles
will be adopted, with i few Insignificant
amendments. The grandceS will be chosen
especially with reference TO their religion and
their wealth. The Catholic prelates have
already drawn up list of the chosen and
prescribed, but the nobility closest to the
Emperor will be composed mainly Of Ger
mans. The police-SyStem will be entrusted
to 4 person whose life has been passed in the
Austrian secret service. The empire will be
placed under rigid espionage; the people will
be classiicdand compelled to conform to in
exorable poIice-regulations the right to bear
arms will be annulled, anu the privilege OF
the habeaS corpus suspended, until the whole
country has been "paci.ied." Maximlllan
will labor 10 make the City OF Mexico the
American Paris. Gorgeous PROFESSIONS OF
prelatcs and soldiers, enormous public works
IcathedralS. palaces, parks these will con-
scitute some ofthc earliest la5orS Ofthe Amer
lean Hapsburger. The dignity and display
of royal citv will be made ~ contrast with
the simplicity and prosaic monotony OF
neighbOring republics.
THE STANDING AND CoSSCRIPT ARMY.
Under the new order of things, every man
within the limits of the Mexican Empire will
be personally known to the law. The pass
passport system OF Austria, the most exact
inc in the world, will be established on the
entire frontier. The next movement will be
10 rearrange the political division of the coun-
try the boundaries OF the provinces will be
readiusted: and there will be minute subdi-
visions; the Sonscript classification will then
be endowed upon the strict German footing.
Every citizen must bear arms for period of
wears. \ standing army sufficient to keep
all revolutionary elements in check will be
at once summoned and the French troops
now in Mexico are to be paid 1000 francs
YEAR each man, and fed and clothed, until
they NAV be discharged and supplanted by
the native army. Garrisons are 10 be kept IN
all the large towns the gems dGrnlee system
will keep minor places and districts quiet.
No citizen can leave his place of abode with
out permission none can visit or travel with
out passports strict oath of allegiance
will be administered to every resident, and
perjury punished with death. proclama-
ton TO be issued soon after Macmillan lands
a. Vera Cruz, will invite all malcontents to
Law down their arms and give fealty within
specified time. After that date elapseS, all
who are still combating will be declared pub
lie enemies and set hOrs dc LOi. The press
will be for the nonce suppressed; the right
of assembly and petition suspended; Far
Lament called, to be composed only OF mem
bers who have taken the oath, and the cleo
tors thereof must also give adhesion to the
Empire. 4 constitution will be proposed,
upon the basis Of imperial prerogatives and
the one-man right. All officials OF the En-
pire are to be responsible solely to the En-
peror, not to any responsible body; the Cor
res for Conrress) are to advise and give con-
currence, not to originate. The Government
is to be absolute in fact and in right; repre-
sentative BY permission. All power is 10 be
derived from and to return TO the Emperor.
The doctrines Of the divine right of kings
and the absolutiSm of nature, are to be re-
established in America after half century
of republcanism.
THE MEXICAN NAVY.
A navy is to be organized and equipped;
the maritime districts are to contribute sea-
men-not soldiers French money will stand
the expenses of the outfit, and the Gulf of
Mexico will become cruising ground for the
Imperial Navy. When order shall have been
established, and the individual rights Of the
people fused into those of ruler, it will be
calmly but resolutely proposed: What were
the original boundaries of Mexico What
states or provinces have been wrested from
her by force or fraud We shall then hear
of a congress of all civilized powers, and
Europe will sit in judgment upon the claims
Of the United States to Texas and California.
This era will be that Of the interment Of the
Monroe doctrine.
WHAT FRANCE HAS EXPORTED FROM MEXICO.
A treaty has been concluded at the castle Of
Niramar. between the Mexican Government
and France. The whole expenses Of the
French expedition, two hundred and seventy.
millions Of francs, or 6fty-four millions OF
ILL.,. ,ra IN he Maid by Mexico, together
