Countrymen-After the valor and pat

stroyed my sceptre in this place, Of which
tenacious defense was indispensable to
save the honor Of my cause and Of my
race. After the bloody siege, in which
the Imperial and Republican soldiers have
completed in abregation and boldness, |
will explain myself.
Countrymen-I came to Mexico not
only animated with the best Of faith OF in
surfing the felicity Of all and each of us,
but called and protected by the Emperor
Of France, Napoleon III. He, TO the ridi.
cule OF France, abandoned me, cowardly
and UNANIMOUSLY, by the demand Of the
United States, after having uselessly spent
forces and treasure, and shed the blood Of
her sons and your own When the news
Of my fall and death reaches Europe, all
the monarchs of Charlemagne's country
will demand of the Neapolitan dynasty an
account Of my blood-of the German, Bel.
gian, and French blood shed in Mexico.
Then will be the end, loose before the
whole world.
Napoleon III. will be covered with
llOlh htuu " lOOl iO-luN uC lh,
already seen His Majesty the Emperor o
Austria, my august brother, praying fol
my life to the United States, and nysel
q prisoner Of war in the hands Of the Re
publican Government, and with my crow
and my head torn in pieces.
Countrymen. here are my last words:
desire that my blood may regenerate Mex
leo, and serve as warning to oil the am
bilious and incautious, and that you will
act with prudence and truthfulness, ant
ennoble with your virtues the politica
cause Of the flag you sustain.
May Providence save you, and max,
you worthy of myself. MAxTxILIAS.
