.e MEXICAN NRWs -'s ..4-
The Herald publishes the following relative
10 Mexican affairs Immediately upon tho
receipt, by Maximilian, OF the news of the
death OF Mr.. Lincoln, the surrender of Gen.
Lee, and the complete termination OF our
war, he dispatched to Europe his special
| adviser, M. Ellon, Chief of Cabinet, ID sdviae
with Louis Napoleon, King Leopold, of Bel
gium, and the Emperor of Austria, as to what
should be done under this change Of affairs,
the Empire in Mexico having been undertaken
under the conviction that the United States
were permanently disruptured, aud that our
CIVIL war would continue for many years
| M Elton left Vera Cruz on this mission
on the I'd of May last, passing by way of this
city, and now returns by the same route 1t
was then reported that while here, he had On
interview with President johnson, and that
| interview was Of avery satisfactory character.
This report was entirely without foundation.
We have reason to believe that the mission
OF M. Elton to Europe has been fruitful Of
important results to Louis Napoleon He
was Instructed by Macmillan to state thai the
Empire would only be re establed in tranquil
ity, and Mexico thoroughly pacfed, by the
aid oil largely increased force OF foreign
troops and the outlay of much larger Sums Of
money, which must also be furnished from
abroad, as it was idle to place any reliance
upon the revenue in Mexico for some years to
come. These reinforcements of troops and
necessary funds must be fornished by II rance,
for they could be obtained nowhere else, and
further, that IN view Of the changed state of
affairs in the United States, France and other
| European powers must guarantee his throne
| from any attacks without that unless these
conditions could be complied with Macmillan
did not wish to stay in Mexico.
M Elton was instructed to procure restora.
ton 10 Macmillan ofhis rights OF succession
to the Austrian throne, in the event OF his
returning from Mexico. This is only part
| Of the mission Of Elton which has been at
tended with any success, and in this his sue
| cess has been complete. Macmillan can now
return to Austria and regain his rights OF
succession there at any moment by simply
giving up his throne in Mexico
We have reason, also, for the belief that
the mission of M Ellon has been productive
Of further result that be carries back with
him to Mexico, as advice Of Louis Napoleon
and OF King Leopold, that under all circum
stances, and seeing it is evident the people OF
Mexico do not desire to have an Emperor rule
over them, the best plan for Macmillan will
be to Abdicate at as early moment % possi
Bile, and return to Europe. Then the French
troops having nothing further TO do, they
will also retire and so the whole of this dis,
agreeable and unfortunate Mexican business
will be ended without further trouble ia
