The Latest Expressions or Maxinnf1fan.
In the latest news received at New Or
leans from Mexico the following remarks of
the Emperor are given:
At the city of Mexico the diplomatic body
lately waited on Macmillan and the En-
press with a message of coincidence on the
death ofthe Empress Father, King Leopold.
Macmillan replying alluded to the kind
ness aith which the Empress had been re-
ceived every where on her tour TO and from
Yucatan, without any armed escort. He
went on 10 say, "as FOR myself, gentlemen,
you have been witness TO my labors. |
have thrown aside those empty theories
which lead only to anarchy. Ihaye devoted
all nay efforts to regulating the administra-
ton Of public affairs, developing the
element of public wealth and prosperity
rnd the solution of the great questions
that have chiefly occupied the public
attention in this difficult task. / have
sought TO resist the impatient and cheer the
faint-hearted. A day can't heal the gaping
wounds produced by fifty years Of civil war,
but have firm confidence IN the result, and
will proceed to my proposed end with indie
fatiguable perseverance. My strength may
fail me but my earnest determination never.
have specially determined not to alter the
National Democratic habits and manners,
because am convinced that they conduce
to elevate the citizen, inspiring him with
consciousness of his dignity, so far as it has
not been degraded to anarcy and hcentious-
ness. At the same time, have respected
the authority Of the law. He must be a
blind man who does not see that resolute
authority is the only anchor Of safety for our
country"

A special dispatch from Washington to
the Cincinnati Commercial on the sth says;
''The President to-day, received large
number Of Senators and Members, with
whom he conyersed freely on public matters,
substantially indorsing his views stated yes

the colored delegates, and was, therefore,
not fully prepared to reply. He reiterated,
in conversation, what he stated TO the Mon
