Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1865-12-06

There il not much late news beyond
what Is embodied heretofore. Your pa
pers reported chat the Emperor was going
70 Yatacan. as q good starting point for
Europe, and now you have il that the
Empress is lust about to start 60 Belgium,
sad and brOken-hearted, never to return.
What stuff! MaEimilian Is 3 very cool
young man. He dreams Of no more
danger 10 his throne than does Louis
Napoleon. IN truth there are dangers,
but not Of the kind You think OF, to
which he is possibly not alive enough.
They are of q financial character.
But, not t0goOff, the Emperor 5Uds going
to Gucatan, partly because deputation
after depetation had invoked his pres
ence for the satisfaction of the people,
and partly because he wanted 30 study
the wonderful antiquities OF that eoun-
try. Bat commissions are just now most
~sbudiously at work 10 devise ways and
means for the self support, financially,
Of the Empire, and his presence is neces-
sarily required at the capital. i believe,
to satisfy the people Of Nucatan, that il
has been determined that the Empress
shall go. That is about all there Is Of
that talk.
The Empire is consolidating itself and
fastening itself on the affections Of the
people daily. The late ministerial change
IS for the better. Wherever the Empire
has made itself known by its military
and civil officers, there it IL welcomed,
and there ID sticks. You are told of this
or that State which has not yet submit
ted. That Is true in reference TO several,
but no effort has vet been made to
reach them. There are not thirty
thousand foreign troops in the whole

acknowledges Macmillan, more States
and seaports pay tribute to his Treasury,
than ever acknowledged a President or
Dictator before He is developing the
country and encouraging the arts of peace
and husbandry nor than has been done
in all tie past History Of Mexico. And
vet some Of our people, mostly, | sup
pose, turbulent New E~nglanders, and
men whose occupation is gone with the
melting away Of the late armies, talk OF
" driving Macmillan out" We have
heard nothing from the great West about
that matter! Perhaps the West would
not like TO extend the market for its
products; and perhaps it would not
like 10 help to raise more coffee, sugar,
tobacco, etc., in Mexico, so that they
could be had cheaper. Perhaps the West

do with your Government any longer
The Monroe Doctrine don't pay national
debts, or cheaper the price of living, or
bind up the wounds OF a torn and much
wr0nged country. . But some Of your
people appear 10 be mad because the
Emperor has given an asylum and hon
Orable positions 10 Capt. Maury and
other prominent "eX-rebels.v Well,
I remember perfectly how Your Re
publican papers and songs used to brag OF
their intention 10 drive all the rebels,
JEFF. Davis at the head, into Mexico! He
hasn't got here yeti Then, if you wanted
to drive them here, / suppose il was be-
cause You wanted 70 get rid Of them, and
intended 10 let them alone here. If your
people meant anything then, / don't see
why they are mad because a few have
got here! But do your people mean
anything they say If they haven't
whipped on every side Of every thing
for the last four or five years, there
has been no English language. You
talk now as if " Little Mas - would be
very glad to get away that Loui,
Napoleon has found it a very trouble

certain, etc. And yet you threaten tC
