PANS, April II, 1864.
The farce, comedy or tragedy-whichever
the future may prove it to be-of the "new
Emperor Of Mexico" is rapidly approaching
most farclal acts in it having been performed
at the chnteau OF hliramar on Sunday lust,
when, after the offer By the deputation and
the acceptance By the Archduke of the Mexi.
can crown, the former knelt and kissed the
hand of their new Emperor. The TRANSACTIONS
by me from the Archdnke's organ, the N.mo-
rial Uiple'nafique, give very good desefip-
tlon OF the ceremony, and q satisfactory ac-
count of the settlement Of the. family dill.
culties, which threatened at one time to lead
to the bitter disappointment Of the whole
Mexiean nation, which, If ne may believe the
French journals, would have monrned the
loss of Macmillan as bitterly Us Rachel did
He is wise In his day and generation, is
MaxImilian. He "smelleth mice" in the
distant future, and, although he knows that
the Mexicans all banker after him now, he
fears that they may change their sentiment
hereafter, or that some foreign power-the
some time In the happy state Of things which
his rnle is to inaugurate in Mexico. So, in
authorization of one OF these contingencies,
he only surrenders his right to the Austrian
throne during the time that be OF his dynasty

The Memorial DipIon1dtique in 1auding his
new majesty Tor the benevolent manner in
which he has taken upon bfmse1f the regene
rat1on and salvation Of the Mexican people
prepares the way for his departure whenever
lis subjects cease to appreciate, and no lon
ger sssccms to see'' bis dsinterested self de-
yotious. That journal-his organ-in explain
ing why MaS1mtlian reserved contingent
rights to the throne of Austria, says: *'The
dangers which menace the new monarehial
establishment in Mexico may come from
within or from without At home, deter
mined to become the rallying point Of all the
vital forces of his new country, the Emperor
of Mexico will never be the exclusive ex-
preston Of any party whatever, still less the
Instrument Of reaction. If ever the rights
and liberties which he intends to accord to
his subjects become arms In tried hands and
compromise the stability Of his throne, he
win not hesitate an instant, rather than
stain his crown with single drop Of blood to
follow the example OF Ills grandfatherin 1913.
He will descend from the throne rather than
tolelatc IN his pres ence civil war." II that
means anything more or less than that Maxi"

first sign Of revolution, am not able to see

rior, the events passing in North America are
Of a nature to bring about In future, more
or less distant, grave complications, which
should be foreseen and provided against" ~:
