In Mexico anu Tho establishment or an
Enplro In that country under Maxlmillen-
our own war has heretofore % absorbed the
attention o. ihe country both North and
South, as 10 completely oveuhadow The
cvcnis which have trans lrcd In the Next
caa States, but now that peace dawns upon
the United Stairs Mesican Affairs are re-
eelylng larga share cf tho attention Of
the press, md the Munroc doctrine seems
about to become a more fayorilo idea with a
majority Of the people than ever Ii was be-
foro. This doctrine was always asserted
more strongly in the South previous to
1861. than Il was In the North, and at that
dime no foreign power would have dared to
Land troops on ibis continent with tho
ayowod purpose of Overlooking republic,
and erecting upon It's rains o despotism OF
the rapkcst kind. Napoleon, seeing tho
United staIes engaged In q civil war which
seemed to more Than ias ils entire Iesour-
ces to overthrow, thought II favorable
time 10 gain fcoihold upon this continent,
aud succeeded in placing upon The MoSlcan
throne prince whom he could control.--
lie did not, however, Il seems, calculate for
the events TIM, have taken place since the
first Of April in the United States, and he
now sees power threatening his establish
meat in Mexico, hacked up by principle
which has always had the sanction Of the
American people, Which may well appol
him in the farther pursuit OF territory
on this continent, and admonishcs hin that
The days Of his empire in Mexico are num-
bered. This, at least, seems to be The con-
clusion arrived at by the press of this
country. We can scarcely pick up paper
of recent date which dccs not contain an
ARTICLE bearing upon this question, and
they arc unanimous in their opinion as TO
the fate OF Maximilian's govcrnment--it is
bound to be abandoned, and the Emperor
will ere long be refugee from his imperial
capital.
Some Of our exchanges, and, wo hcar,
not few Of The officers OF the u. s. army,
believe that the consultation of SO MANY
troops in the Southwest is for the purpose
OF enforcing tlic Monroe doctrine and com
pelling the election of AIaximilian and his
foreign troops from Mexican soil; and others
go still further, and assert that Inc future
of Mexico is certain to be its occupation by
the United States forces, and eventually its
ann cxation TO the American Union thus
embracing within the limits of The "Great
Republic the entire territory from the
great lakes in the North to The Central
American States.
1t asserted that pcremptory notice has
been given to France that the Imperial
government III Mexico cannot be tolerated
by the United States, and that Max. and
his European troops must leave This is
mere rumor, but we cannot look upon the
concentration of so many U. S. troops in
South western Texas and Louisiana with
any other conclusion than that it is the in
tention OF the government to enforce such
a demand. Whatever the purposes are VIC
shall know more definitely in few weeks.
The complications of Mexican matters
may yet involve Europe in war Of vast
proportions. There are those fully compc-
tent tojudgc who believe that the greatest
war of Christcndom is yet to be waged, and !
that the "Great Republic is to be the arbi-
ter of the destinies of this entire continent.
The article from the Shreveport News,
headed SclfPrcseryation, which we pub
fish to-day, affords much food for thought,
and deserves the attention of every reader.
