glory and power of Imperialism. And
further even than all this, perhaps. his
thoughts ran for would it not be something
TO be proud of, if in few years the rich and
sunny land of the Mexican should become a
colony of Ia belle France.
Though he has had three years in which
to attempt the achievement of these things
ne has not yet accomplished the least of
them. Mexico enjoys neither order nor
peace, though there have been as high as
forty thousand French soldiers in it. Its
finances are still in the most hopeless con-
dition, and have thrown into despair even
the accomplished 'financiers sent ont from
Paris during the last summer to put them in
order. Its mining interests are not advanc-
ing, and its yield Of the precious metals bids
fair soon to be smaller than ever it was. Its
trade and commerce have not expanded. as
was anticipated. The United States laugh
at the Imperial barrier" and the Imperial
system has exhibited its weakness and COW
cred itself with contempt. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that the French
people continue to be impatient about the
occupation of Mexico, and that they are try
ing to furnish some pretext to the Emperor
for Withdrawing his troops.
1t is conceived now that the United States
would not interfere in Mexico, adversely to
Imperialism, if once the French troops were
Withdrawn from its soil-that is only the
presence of foreign army that is ANNOYING
to the Americans-that they would be will
ling to let Macmillan remain on his I'm
perial throne, if able to do so by his own
power, or by what Mexican help he may re-
ceiye-and that thus all danger of compli- |
cations with this country, which could inure
neither to the profit nor glory of France, |
would be avoided. There may really be |
something in this. We are certainly not |
anxious TO go to war on behalf of Juaraz. 1t |
certainly is the presence in Mexico of for |
eign mercenaries upholding alien interests
that IL the most annoying circumstance in |
the whole matter to the American people. |
1t Is by no means impossible that if the |
French troops were withdrawn this country |
would cease to trouble itself about Maximil- |
ian, and would permit him to retain his
power, so far as it is concerned.
We should certainly like to see the French
Emperor try this line of action. We should
like if he would permit Macmillan to set
tie his own fortunes with the aid of the
Mexican people. We think the assurance
might BE given on our behalf, that he would
no be interfered with by this country, for
year at least
The French Emperor will have to adopt
some such course some time or other He
cannot retain an army of occupation in Mex
leo forever. He can withdraw it at this time
with less loss to himself than he will be able
10 do at any future time, and with equal
honor. He has done enough for Maximil-
an, and two much for Mexico. Let him
now follow the excellent advice given him
ly some Of his own councillors, and thus
get out Of an uncomfortable position al once.

The Proposed Withdrawal Of tho
French Troops from Mexico.

The Proposed Withdrawal Of tho
French Troops from Mexico.
From the New York Timesl
1t appears from our French advices that
there is 4 strong pressure in France upon the
Government n tins moment forthe withdraw
al of its troops in Mexico, and that it has got
90 be generally understood there that if the
troops he Withdrawn, the United States
will in no way interfere with the experiment
of "clvilizing that country; but that so
long rs the French flag remains in Mexico
so long will the United States feel hostile TO
France andto the "ciyiljzing" experiment.
This writes our Paris correspondent, lis
in direct contradiction to the ideas which the
French Government and the partisans of the
Mexican expedition have always urged
thai Is to say, they have always put forward
the idea that SO long as the French flag re-
manned IN Mexico, the Americans would be
afraid TO interfere for fear Of war with
France, and that il the flag were removed,
Macmillan would be attacked at once. The
difference he continues, is a most impor-
tant one, and if it could be made to enter
into the plans Of the American Government

spect 50 that the French people could be
sure OF the fact, the pressure Of public
opinion would soon bring about the cvacua-
ton of Mexico and the trial Of the Empire

II is unquestionably the fact that Louis
Napoleon feels he has knotty subject to
deal with in the matter Of Mexico. lie set
out on his work with great expectations and
great pretensions. Mexico had suffered n
haii-ocntury OF anarchy; he would establish
order. 1t was in poverty and bankruptcy,

Of witnessing the performances of the very emf
ncnt players, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kcan. To-
gcthcr and separately. they have electrified audi
Cnces wherever the language Of Shakespeare is
spokcu-and have for many years stood at the
very head and front of their profession. To a
person who witnessed the splendid rendition Of
Shakespeare creations by kcan, twenty or thirty
years ago, Isn't he TOO old for Hamlet would
be a very natural mental inquiry. He resolved the
question TO the entire satisfaction Of all who saw
him on Wednesday night. His Action was perfect
and though his articulation was sometimes, per
hnps a little indistact, his production Of the
young Prince was a mastery performance. Mrs
kean was cmincnuy herself rs the Queen. We
only regret the time they are 20 remain with us is
so short. II is not often rs the theatrical world
goes just now that the Legitimate and standard
drama is placed before Us with so much skill and
power and good taste. This understand is the
farewell tour of these distinguished persons, pre-
ccding their departure from America anlthc stage
forever: and we should count it really misfor
tune uot % see them. We trust they may enjoy
the evening of life iu plenty peace and content
and that their life may be heightened as long as it
