TIE KINGDOM OF CANADA.-The
latest news from England intimates,
that the political movements for join
ing the British American Provinces
in q more intimate, if not a more per-
feet union, are likely to result In the
establishment of 4 kingdom, with
Prince Arthur Of England as its King.
The bill for establishment Of eOnfed-
eration-it is officially styled the
British North American Province
Confederation" was read for the sec
ond time In the English House of
Commons on March l, and was to have
been hurried to a vote at an early day.
The understood intention of the orig
inatOTs of the scheme Is to have the
first Provincial Parliament which as
sembles after che adoption of the bill
declare the confederaey a kingdom,
and place Ii under the rule of Prince
Arthur William Patrick Albert, the
third son of Queen Victoria. One OF
the most jealous workers in favor Of
this scheme has been ViscOunt Char
les Stanley MODck, present Governor
General of Canada. He Is now IN
England busily engaged in completing
the work on which he has been so as
SIduOuSly employed Tor the past uVe
years. Lord Monck Is ofIrish descent
He is the fourth Viscount of his title,
and is descended from the famous
General George MOnck, who dissolved
the Parliament of Richard Cromwell,
and on whose invitation Charles IL.
resumed the throne of England. The
present Lord Monck was appointed to
the Governorship of the Canadas at
the opening of the rebellion in this
country. He displayed great energy
in erecting defenoes along our north
ern frontier, and made himself some
what unpopular IN the United States
by protecting the rebels who congre-
gated in Canada, His principal and
favorite scheme as a statesman has
been the esta blishment of a Canadian
Confederaey, an undertaking likely to
be very soon crowned with success

some future and more powerful interfe'
renee in their national affairs.
The stigma Of Maximilian's death
rests upon Napoleon, however, more di-
rectly than upon the Mexicans. In muir
dering the Prince, the latter were but
obeying their savage instints, and France
should have protected him against the
certain fate which awaited him. Led
into the scheme by the urgent advice OF
Napoleon and his repeated promises OF
assistance, Macmillan was his tool aud
he should have shielded him from dan
ger. That our Administration is also to
blame in this affair none may doubt AS
il was through the exertions of Mr.. Sew
ard that the French withdrew from Mex
leo, il was our duty to demand, not
merely solicit, that the life of Maximil-
ian be spared. There was gross negli'
gence in our not having representative
near Juarez to enforce our request, and
herein the French Senate have to a GER
tain extent cause for endeavoring to
throw upon this country the RESPONSE
bility of MaximiliaI's fate. But with
France the atrocious and unprlncipled
invasion of Mexico originated and was
carried out, in spite of the circumstances
of this Government, and with Napoleon
must rest the shame, the remorse OF
Maximilian's death. Doubtless the world
will judge thus, and history will estab-
lish the fact.

"POOR CARLOTTA."

From the New York Express.I
1t is in supreme moments that the
character of a man is revealed, and UNI
der no circumstances more so than when
facing an ignominious death. The I'M
fortu nate Austrian Archduke Macmillan
has paid the penalty of his inconsiderate
acceptance Of the Mexican throne by
the forfeit of his life, and doubtless the
kindly and loyal nature Of this prince
was never more apparent than IN his
last words" Poor Carlotta. We hear
of no angry or savage reproaches, no
threats of reprisals the dying man had
but one thought, one concern, the grief
and misery to overwhelm his already
sadly bereaved wife. These last words
will ring throughout Europe, touching a
responsive chord in all generous and
manly breasts; and, in pity for the dead
man, the world will overlook his having
Welded to the misrepresentation OF
more scheming minds, and accepted a
position which could be maintained but
by the aid of the sword and that foreign

rule. 1t is, Of course, well understood
that Macmillan was misled in this affair.
He was taught to believe that a large
portisn of the Mexican people desired
him 10 assume the throne, that those
who opposed him we're seditious, over
ambitious, interruptions Adventures,
and that in him the hope Of the nation
was ceutered, so far as order and peace
were TO succeed the anarchy which had
so long distracted Mexico. 1t was not,
however, an easy matter to decide his
acceptance of the responsible position
offered him. Deputation after deputa-
ton of prominent Mexicans were sent
TO Macmillan by the Emperor Napoleon,
and it was only when the latter had
guaranteed him he should be supported
70 the last, that he accepted the throne.
He soon found that he was to be mere
toel. a man OF straw, and that France
was 10 rule his new empire. de was
not willing TO assume this passive role,
hence the discussions between him and
the French commander.
