cEKTAIS.
wrote 70 you about two weeks ago that the
policy of President johnson in regard to the en-
forcement Of the Monroe Doctrine in Mexico
bad been fred 10 accordance with the principles
Of the Democratic party; that the PRESIDENT
views had been enunciated in substance. IN the
letter Of General Wallace. and in the speech OF
Montgomery Blair; that the Emperor Napoleon
was correctly spprised Of the views and inten-
tons OF our Government on the subject and
that sooner than 90 to with the J. nited
States, he would withdraw the Emperor Maxi
milan from Mexico; and. finally, that owing to
the peculiar position of affairs in Mexico and on
the Rio Grande. the probability was that Maxi
milan would sbdicate his insecure throne there.
and the Mexican Republic be re established.
The Developments Of the last few days has de-
monstrated the correctness Of the views. IL 10
reported here now that Mr. Seward will not re-
turn to the Cabinet, but will resign, in conse-
Quence Of the complexion which our relations
With Mexico have assumed But think il more
than probable that If MaIimilian does abdicate,
or If the Republic Of Mexico 10 re established,
Mr. Seward will boldly lay claim to the honor Of
himself having brought abont those events; he,
who is keeping Mr.. Corwin and our national
sympathy away from President Juarez; be, who
10 charged by Mr.. Blair with having promised
Napoleon that the United States Government
should and would recognize Macmillan
MACMILLAN LIKED PERSONALLY IN MEXICO.
Some later and important news from Mexico
has been receive here by gentlemen just arrived
from New Orleans. Ii all goes to show the
critical condition Of Maximilian's Government,
and to prove that his throne is tottering and must
soon fall His Mexican soldiers are deserving by
whole companies and the officers come with the
men. Two colonies and general are reported
as having gone over to tho Republican side: and
il is said that the wholesale desertion of Maxi
milian's Mexican troops is owing to the impress
sion which prevails. that the United States
Government Is about 10 spouse the cause of the
Republic, and TO expel Macmillan from Mexico
by force. 10 this work. the whole Mexican PEG
pie. il is said would join most enthusiastically.
IL Is not annexation to the United States that
they desire. but the re establishment OF their own
dearly loved Republic Personally, il is said
who are near his own person are said 10 be devo-
tedly attached TO him The administration Of
his government is regarded as wise, just and
magnaaimous, and calculated 10 develop the re-
sources Of the country. But the form of govern
ment is distasteful in the highest degree to the
Mexeans, and they never will submit to il qui-
city. Il is said that If Macmillan, abdicating
the throne, were to retire to private life in
MEXICO, and live in the country, he would be
elected President by acclamation But that he
will not do. His ambition is TO fill a throne.
and he will do IT, either in America or in Eu-
rope.
FAILURE or SAPOLEoS's CALCULATIONS RESPECT
ING AMERICA.
Ii IA a mistake to suppose that Macmillan
gave up forfeited his right TO the succession of
the Austrian throne when be consented 10 sit
upon the unsteady one of Mexico. On the con-
trary, whenever he returns to Austria he will re-
sumo there the same position with regard 20 the
Austrian throne that he occupied three years ago.
The abdicaton of the Mexican throne, ii il takes
place, will be owing simply and alone to the
failure OF Napoleon 10 furnish the necessary re
Inducements of troops and pecuuiary aid; and
this failure, IN It's turn, Is owing 10 the X.
pected result of recent civil war, unex pected
| mean, to Napoleon. Napoleon put great faith
in Mr.. Slidell aud his representations and he had
besides. other sources OF Information IN regard
TO what was going on in America lie was led
TO believe. from these. that the result of the war
would be very different from what the event has
proved to be-that it would result, indeed. in the
hnal disruption OF the country, and the success
full establishment of the Southern Confederacy
And. indeed. TO show on what trivial events the
destinies of nations hang. had the great war
steamer Stonewall got to sea three months ear
lier. and had Gen Lee succeeded in defeating
Sherman's army before he Joined his forces to
al. .4sf
ferent. At all events. the present complexion oil
events in the United States is very different from
what Napoleon expected in 1863, and this ia the
reason of bis present disnclination 10 maintain
Macmillan in Mexico, in the manner that be hsc
intended.
MAxIMILfANS WISE AND LIBERAL POLICY
The story about alleged i'll treatmentof Amer
leans in Mexico by the Imperial Government, OF
its agents officers is too absurd for serious re
futaton. Nobody here believes there is the least
foundation for IT, On the contrary, there is .
strong party of Imperalsts here, founded sole ely
on what is known to be the extremely kind anC
liberal policy OF Maximilisn toward the Ameri
cans in Mexico. Every inducement is held ou
TO persuade Americans TO come to Mexico Il
settle; grants of the finest lands. rights of cti
Ienship, etc In a word there can be little doub
that il Maxmlians empire in Mexico could b,
permanent. it would be the means of advancing
that nation very considerably in the scale Of civil
lizatiOn.
Ii is reported that the veteran e1 Presiden
Santa Anna, now living at the Island of ST
Thomas, will soon return to Mexico and draw
his sword in behalf of the restoration Of the Re
public.
