Mexican Affairs.

The French Minister fully contradicts the report
that Macmillan is going to leave Mexico. He has
advices of q recent date, indicating that Macmillan
is stronger than ever with the people, and that in a
short slime everything will be in n most satisfactory
cordition for the stability OF the Empire.
The GUARANTEE TREATY.-Aiyices from the City
Of Mexico contain some very interesting atement
with reference to a treaty entered into by France,
Austria, Italy, Spain and England TO guarantee Max
imiIiau's throne. IL is now alleged that this treaty was
signed some sixteen months since, when the opinion
was uniyet sally held abroad that the rebellion would
be successful. The guarantee of the integrity of
MaximiIian's Empire, however, remains, though il
has not been deemed prudent TO make it known up to
this time. Recent events, especially the diplomat
correspondence since the close of the war, have made
it, 20 The opinion Of Maximiiian, desirable that the
text Of the treaty should he given.
IL Is understood that the next man from the City
of Mexico will bring the text Of this treaty, which
will be published in the official organ Of Maximilian
ut the Mexican Capital These advices also state
that Macmillan and his friends entertain no appre-
hension respecting the Permanency Of his Empire.
In addition 10 the guarantee of the Western Powers,
there are large material interests at stake. One com
pauy Of Freuchmen is building the road from the
City Of Mexico to the Pacific coast, while another
company (EngIish) is building the road from Vera
Cruz to the City OF Mexico. Maximilian's support
es boast that they will secure a good deal Of the
traffic Of the East Indies and Eastern Asia, which
We hope TO mOuOPOlIze by the building OF the railroad
to the Pacific coast. Mining companies, manufac-
turing associations and other large enterprises are
on foot both in England and France, who will have
claims on their respective Governments, which will
induce them 10 insure the permaneEce of the Mexi-
can Empire.

The Paris Correspondent Of the London .N5lrs says
1t Is generally thought France aud the United States
will, in n friendly way, hit upon u plan for giving
