Incredulity as to the new French &C
QUESTION in Mexico would seem to be
vanquished by the circumstantiality
and positiveness of the statement put
forth through The Democratic Press Of
San Francisco, evidently only a sec
ond-hand from DR.. Gwin himself. That
statement imports that Macmillan l.
of Mexico, for and in consideration OF
the blood and treasure expended by
France in conquering his empire for
him, has ceded to Napoleon III. Low
or California, Sonora, Sinaloa and 9TH
or portions of Northern Mexico, where
in Durango, Chihuahua and perhaps
New-Leon and Tamaulipus are inclu-
ded. In other words, Napoleon and
Macmillan are dividing the swag, and
the former has trusted his share of the
booty to DR.. VIM. NJ. Gwin, once of
Mississippi, later of California, and
now of the outside world in general,
who is to be his Viceroy or Governor
General, under the title of "Duke of
Sonora" And Gwin has already COM
menced tolling the discounted seces-
sionists who once shared with him the
rule of California into his new satra-
Ply by proffers of rich mines, ample
privileges, and good times generally.
California rejoices in the prospect that
many of them will go. Of course, Max
only cedes the northern half of his en-
pire temporarily, or until he can pay
off the heavy debt incurred in conquer
ing Mexico for him but this will de-
ceive no one who recollects how the
French come to be in Mexico at all.
That debt could never have been paid
anyhow, and its liquidation is now
more hopeless than before There
was a bare chance that the unworked
mines of the Northern departments
might somehow have enabled Max to
reduce if not discharge his debt; but
that has now vanished Napoleon has
taken his pay the rest Of Maximili-
ans creditors will wait long enough
for theirs.
Gwin is man of very considerable
ability, sixty years old, thoroughly un-
scrupulous, as great spendthrift as
his new master, with a passion like
that mastery for gambling adventure.
He will attract colonists, and develop
the resources of his viceroyalty, but
he will never send dollar to the
French Treasury.
