The Crisis in DIexico-what Is to FoIlews
All our recent intelligence relating to the
affairs Of Mexico warrants the conclusion that
we are approaching the close Of another act
Of the dreary and protracted drama. The
fates are evidently with the republican party;
the star OF empire has gone down, and clou5da
pregnant with peril have gathered darkly
around the lead Of poor Macmillan. Any
moment may put US in possession Of the fact
that the Emperor-Emperor now only in
n,me-is helpless prisoner in the hands OF
his enemies. Since the time when the first
Napoleon Ito compare small things with greaD
yielded himself up prisoner into the hands
Of his mortal enemies, the world has not wit
messed spectacle so humilating to royalty.
We have little doubt that the Intervention
Of Mr.. Seward will be efcctual In saving the
life of Maximilian. He has but little chance,
now that the voice Of the great republic has
been raised in his favor, to share the fate
which the laws Of nations and of war have
sanctioned in such cases The lif.. of Maxi
milan will doubtless be spared; but 1t may
be found that Mr.. Seward has asked too much
in asking Juarez to extend equal mercy to all
the imperial troops that may become prisoners
| Of war. Come what may Of Maximilian and
his men, II may safely be concluded that the
Maxican cmnire haa Lost all tho li4Ilo si4alit IL
