MAXIMILIAN'S DECREE ESTAB-
LISTING SLAVERY IN MEXICO.

A few DAYS ago the House of Repre-
sentatives adopted a resolution calling
for any information in possession Of the
Executive Department with reference to
so-caIled decree by Macmillan, the
French agent in Mexico, under date OF
September last, establishing slavery or
peonage in that republic. II appears
from the reply TO this resolution that on
the 10th of September w. II. Corwin,
Charge d'Affaires, sent a copy of this de-
cree to Secretary Seward, who requested
the opinion of Acknowledgement Speed
upon that paper. The latter gave an ella
borate reSpOts', saying among other
things, that the broad declaration in the
first regulation that all men of color are
free by the fact alone of having lrod on
Mexican territory, it is manifest thai ia
the subsequent regulations "a grinding
and odious form Of slavery is sought 10
be established, and he concludes as fol-
lows
[ have no hesitation ia saying that
these regulations constitute Il law which
deprives working men Of rights which
are in this country regarded, and which,
in every well organized community,
should be regarded rs inestimah'e, mali
enable and iudtstructib'c, and certainly
makes them slaves. The history Of This
country, and particularly the history of
the troubles from which we are lust
emerging, shows that no society can he
organized permanently and remain at
peace within its own borders and with
the outside world where these great and

Secretary Seward wrote TO Minister
BigeIoW, on the 10th of November, say
lug the DEGREES had received the attention
of this government, and that the law Off
Ger al submitted an opinion, that ii they
were carried into execution they would
Inevitably operate to reI uce to IA condi-
ton OF peon slavery working men Of the
African race, aud of course such OF the
freedom before mentioned as with or
without their Intelligent consent may be
brought within the jurisdiction of Mexico.
The Secretary requested Mr.. BigeloW to
place a copy Of Attorney-GeneraI Speeds
opinion in the hands Of NJ. Drouyn de
LhuyS, and to ask that the attention Of
the French government may be directed
to the question which the Attorney &C.
neral has discussed with ability, and with
an anxious desire to arrive at just c%onclu-
sions.
Mr.. BigeIow has already furnished a
copy Of the opinion to The French govern
ment, but no response has yet been re-
celved by this government.
1t further appears from the correspond
ence that NJ. Romero, the Mexican Minis
ter, furnished a copy Of the DEGREES, with
appropriate comments, TO Secretary Sew
ard, who, under date of December 10,
informs that gentleman that measures
have been adopted which are deemed
proper TO meet the exigencies which they
present. The Committee on Foreign
Afaires have this subject now before
them.

suffrage to the negroes in that State.

and allow them to cast fourteen ballots
