The Mexican Dimcultv-Prospect OF New
Complications.
The interesting intelligence which was pub
lished in yesterdays HERALD in reference to
Mexico, instead of settling the difficulty with
France foreshadows new complications and
the probable expedient of another emphatic
cable despatch to the Emperor Napoleon.
First, 1t appears from our Washington advices
that the President is not satisfied with the
tenor of Napoleon's reply to the late emphatic
cable telegram .bm the State Department
calling upon him B fulfil his engagements in
the matter Of the removal Of his troops. 1t
is probable, however, that no further re-
monstrance will be made on that point, and
that the French Emperor will be indulged in
his new promise to remove all his armed
forces from Mexico in March next.
1t further appears, from our Vera Cruz cor
respondence of November %, that our Min
lister Campbell and General Sherman will be
| welcomed there by the French authorities with
| open arms that they were ready to place an
escort at the disposal of General Sherman to
conduct him to the city Of Mexico, where he
would he compelled to 60 for the purpose of
seeing Marshal Bazaine and General Castel-
neau, the only persons whom he could consult.
AT the same time, however, it appears in our
correspondence from the city Of Mexico that
Maximilian, who had sought temporary
refuge at Orizaba, had agreed upon this pro-
| gramme -
| l. To abdicate forthwith. [He has doubtless
received instructions to this effect from Napo-
leon.1
| 2. To place the government in the hands of
provisional triumvrate, composed Of General
Marquee, General Miramon and Teollo Marin.
| present Minister Of the Interior
8. An appeal to the vote of the people to
form new government
| Now, as our Minister Campbell and General
Sherman are explicitly instructed to have
nothing to do with any other government in
Mexico than that Of President Juarez, it is not
likely they will seek the hosoitalities Of the
i rh 80 Al
city of Mexico for some time to come. They
can easily avoid any difficulty in this matter by
simply remaining at Havana until the French
clear out, or by travelling over to Chihuahua,
Monterey, or FL Paso, or to any other place
where the movable government Of Juarez may
for the present be located. But there is still q
very serious difficulty In this Mexican business
as II now stands. Maximilan is about to abdi-
cate, which is good thing as far as it goes In
the way of an abdica ton. But his scheme of
transferring his authority to a triumvirate, In
cluding Marquee, Miramon and Marin, who are
to arrange for the election Of new govern
ment by the Mexican people, is scheme
which is full Of mischief The tri-
umvirate Will be French govern
ment in the face of the republican gov
ernment recognized by the United States
and in opposition 10 it. The government
which, under this scheme, will be elected by
the Mexican people will doubtless be French,
under Miramon, devoted creature of Napo-
leon, but the ablest soldier which Mexico has
produced for many years.
We can have nothing to do with this French
triumvirate or this French government which
is to succeed it. But if we allow this scheme
to be developed, to the election of Miramon as
President OF the Mexican republic, an army
under Sherman or Sheridan will be required to
get him out, or Napoleon will still be really the
master Of Mexico, with his new man Miramon
in the place of Macmillan.
| Here, then, is matter for another cable des-
patch to the French government. reducing Il to
absolute non-interventioh in Mexican affairs
| with the abdication OF Macmillan. He must
be acting under Napolcon's instructions in the
scheme projected, and, If so, a remonstrance
against this mockery and this double dealing
diplomacy Of France ought not to be delayed
single day.
