EXCITEMENT IN PARIS ABOUT
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The following highly important statement
Is made in the Paris December y CORE.
spondence Of the Liverpool Journal, which
paper reaches us in our latest files Of foreign
exchanges It more than confirms the re-
ports published in the REPUBLICAN yester.
day and on the goth instant relative to affairs
in Mexico:
The affairs of Mexico have come at last to
the crisis anticipated by wise men from the
very first, but not anticipated even by thcm
to take place quite SO soon. The difficulties
which have arisen between the Court of the
Tuilleries and that Of the Emperor MAxIML-
IAN, with the bold determination Of the
American Government with regard to
JuAREz, have renewed the rumor of the
secret treaty of Miramar, which empowers
the Emperor to withdraw his troops at any
time from Mexico whenever MAxINILIAS's
payments should be two months in arrsar.
The pretext would be curious enough on
the part of Power which pridos itself on
conciliating for ideas alone. LOUIS PHILIPPE,
whose system differed with this ideal one Of
LOUIS NAPOLEON, declared the country rich
enough to pay for any amount Of glory 1t
might choose to purchase. But, in this case,
the pretext will be seized without scruple by
the Emperor, who, IN presence Of the nrita-
tion Displayed by the United States as re-
solved to avoid a further complication Of the
difficulties amid phieh he has so thought
lessiy rushed. The cause Of the GOODNESS be-
tween the two Emperors is the refusal by
MACMILLAN to receive as Minister of France
the invaluable treasure sent him in that ca
pacity in the person of NJ. LAsGLAIs.
MACMILLAN, whose whole life has been
spent in lodging his duns, Is scarcely green
enough to cOnfdc his purse itselfto ono Of his
most urgent creditors. The message from
the United States, of which Gen. scHoFrELD
is undomJtediy tho bearer, whatever the
agreeable journals may declare to the con-
trary, has caused the greatest ire at Com
piegne. MACMILLAN has given orders for
the evacuation of the northern aud southern
portions Of the empire, in order to remain as
true as possible to the family tradition Of
he quadTiLaiere.
The Empress CHARLOTTE whose journey to
Europe Is ostensibly occasioned by the wish
to visit her father in his dying state, leaves
with the greatest regret; but MAMMALIAN on
beholding the war of determination which is
now commencing between the insurgents and
the Imperialists, as the natural consequence
of all that has gone before, insists on placing
his wife out of danger. The Paris journals
are strictly forbidden to speak Of Mexico,
and yesterday the Office Of the Temps was
visited by the man in black, in high dudgeon
at what he termed the "indiscretion" OF
which that paper had been guilty.
The arrival in Paris of the magnificent
jewels belonging to the Empress CHARLOTTE,
under pretence of alteration and repairs has
given rise to oil sorts of comments. People
say that a certain great financial firm has
been induced to lend considerable sum upon
tie imperial eoronet, which was composed Of
the whole Of the wedding diamonds of the
Princess LOUISE, and which was all the dover
King LEOPOLD ever got with his wife.
