DIexico-Generai Santa Annn-The Kmpiro
Failing to Pieces-What Nexts
We publish to-day translation of the cor
respondence between General Santa Anna and
Seiior Romero and SeHor Teiada, represent
ing the Juarez government Of Mexico, embrac-
ing tho offer Of his services by the General and
their refusal by the other side, and the reasons
for this conclusion. From this correspondence
it will be seen that the jealousies and rivalries
among her political leaders, which for forty
years have been the bane Of Mexico, still
exist, and that, with the decline and fall Of the
empire, .he opposing factions of the republic
may be expected to resume their old game OF
wrangling and fighting among themselves.
Including the Santa Anna excitement, the
budget Of letters which we published yester-
day from our special correspondents in the
city Of Mexico and Vera Cruz make up an ex-
ceedingly interesting picture of the present re-
evolutionary excitements and movements in
that eternally distracted country. They clearly
show that, politically and financially, the inn
pcrial establishment set up for Macmillan by
his master, Napoleon, is falling to pieces on
every side; that poor Max is busy in his pre-
parations for an early departure; that he must
pack up and pack off; that he has no longer
any alternative; but sin the question recurs,
what is to be the next chapter in the dramaf
From Maximilian's official organ in the Mexl-
can capital it appears that his Empress Car
lotta has left for Europe, not from any conside-
rations Of the wisdom OF getting out of harms
way In good season, but upon personal mis-
sion to France, ato supervise the incidents
which terminate the French expedition" and
to make some other arrangements for the main
tenance OF Max on bis Mexican bed of roses.
"Her Majesty" we are told, accepted this mis-
sion out of pure patriotism, facing every OBJ
case required" We suspect, however, that
her precautions were limited to her own safety
and the getting away Of her personal goods
and chattels, and that this official report of
political mission to France is true only so far
as IL may relate to tho gracious permission Of
Napoleon to poor Max to leave the "halls Of
the Montczumas" at any moment, and with or
without ceremony, as the occasion may require.
The Mexicans evidently take some such view
Of the subject, for the imperial report that the
Empress had not run away, and would be back
in November, was "receivcd among them with
suppressed cries Of darision and smiles of con-
tempt" Good reason for this, too, with the
Austrian corvette Dandalon fitting out at Vera
Cruz, one hundred and fifty casks Of wine,
among other things, having been put on board
on the 22d of July. Hence the expectation,
every moment, Of the arrival from the interior
of Max at Vera Cruz. A hundred and fifty
casks OF wine would not be too much for the
Emperor and suite and the officers of the Dam
dalon, for the long voyage from Vera Cruz to
Trieste.
1t appears, however, that while Max remains
in Mexico no will tolerate no division OF author
ity or republican intrigues in his capital. His
arrests Of the numerous parties charged or sus-
pectcd Of being concerned in conspiracy for
the removal OF himself and the recall Of Gen.
erai Santa Anna show that the Austrian Is in
earnest and intends that his power shall
be recognized while he remains, whether
his term OF office is TO be long or
short one. His personal safety, in fact, is
becoming matter requiring some degree Of
vigilance and decision of character, and his
display of these qualities, it is apparent, has
no other object in view. He is called upon 10
get rs much silver Off 10 France as possible,
and TO make some arrangement, IL he can, be-
fore leaving, for the payment Of those French
iudemnities and the expenses incurred by Ma
poleon in this imperial enterprise, and Marshal
Bazaine remains behind to hold the unfortunate
Max 10 these obligations. But whether able
TO provide for them or not, II is probable that
his departure homeward will not be much
longer delayed.
What, then, will be the next chapter in the
Mexican drama--Juarcz, Ortega or General
Santa Anna--it is impossible TO tell, but from the
reports OF the conspiracy in the Mexican capital
in the interest Of Santa Anna, Il Is possible
that he may soon again reappcar ct the head
of The Mexican nation. Otherwise there will
perhaps be n revolution or two before we can
tell who is President or Dictator of the re-
public.
QUEEN EMMA ASp THE Cry FArHrRs.-The
Dowagcr Queen Emma, of the Sandwich
Islands, has been received by the federal au-
thorities with all the honors due TO her rank
She has driven through the Park and visited
the Navy Yard. But the Common Council
men, who are usually on hand upon such oc.
casions, have been very derelict in their duty.
They have not presented the Queen with the
freedom Of the city, nor offered her public
reception. They could entertain the Prince Of
Wales, the Turks, the Japanese and the Rus
slams; but II appears that they think there Is no
money to be made BY showing proper respect
