The Austria minister at Washington has been
instructed by his government to enterinto nego-
tiations with President Juarez OF Mexico with
the view of securing the safety of the Emperor
MaximiIian, in casehe should fall into the hands
of the liberals.
7 Lord Brougham, it is feared, is i'll past hope,
in Nice The veteran statesman and scholar
is still in the full possession of his mental facul-
ties, but his physical powers, which for many
years have seemed to defy the encroachmsnts
of time, yielding at last to the infrmaties OF
age.
The letter from Porfrio Diaz to the Mexican
Minister in Washington is highly interesting
contribution to the history of tho last montns
of the expiring Empire 1t confirms the report
that Baza'ne was willing sell Maxlmillan, ana 10
deliver him, with the City of Mexico, into the
hands of the French.
The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia,
the Emperor Of Austria, and the Sultan are all
to visit the International Exhibition of Paris.
Their visit is likely TO be connected with new
| attempt to solve the Eastern question, which,
after the recent solution of the Luxembourg
difficulty by the London Conference, is said to
have assumed more serious aspect.
Gen. Grant has not been present at any Cabi-
net meeting to discuss the latest of the Attor-
has been several times stated. We see it also
earnestly denied that the opinion met with un-
animous approval. The contradicted story is,
therefore, utterly worthless as an advertisement
for the Administration. 1t is equally harmless
to Gen. Grants sense of property.
EsrH. Poland Rives is out with prospectus
for new paper, to be called. The Southern
Opinion, which he says shall be Confederate
in its devotion to the memory of our. short-lived
independence and all who fought for it or
smypathized with that proud though unsuc-
cessful struggle, from jefferson Davis 10 the
humblest soldier, shall be cherished as a sacred
memory.
EaThe statement made last winter that the
President had rendered Horace Greely place
in the Cabinet, was strictly correct, for within
a few days copy of the letter offering Greely
the place of Postmaster General has been seen,
and it will probably be made public in day or
two. The offer was declined on the ground
that Mr.. Greely could not support the policy of
President Johnson.
The Providence board of alderman being tied
on the liquor questiou-four for license and
four for prehibition-the mayor has given the
casting vote for prohibition, although by con-
viction against it. He says in his explanation,
he firmly believes that less Intoxicating liquors
will be sold under strict license system than
under prohibitory one, because public opinion
will sustain the enforcement of the former and
not ofthe latter.
The executive committee of the Merchants
Union express company have been in session
at Auburn n. Y, for the last two days, and in
order to put stopto the various rumOrs that
are floating over the country in regard to the
company, have passed by unanimous vote,
resolution that they will make no compromise
whatever with the old express companies.
They assert that their company is in q most
prosperous and healthy condition.
There is high need and occasion for sending
our ablest missionaries Southwark, for thus can
didly confesses the Georgia Chronicle The
white population are already divided in politi-
cal sentiment, andthere is danger that the Radi-
Gals will carry the State. This admission ought
10 inspire redoubled effort on the part of the
National Committee Every solitary vote, says
The Mobile AdUcrtiscr, even more strongly,
will be necessary to prevent Alabama from
being as completely radicalized as Congress or
Massachusetts. The exRebels do not under
rate their danger. The Radicals, therefore
should not miss their opportunity.
sgThe news received here, by way of Eng.
land that the Emperor of Brazil had, on the
Sth of April, issued decree of Emancipation.
is not confirmed by late adyices from Brazil.
On the contrary, the Didrio Official of the Ilth
of April, in reply to an article of the Diorio'
Io Rio, asserting that bill respecting the
eman cipation of slaves had been prepared by
Government to lay before the coming Assem-
bly, denies that this is the case, although, it
saws, the Government has the case under con-
sideration.
Ex-senator Wilson has returned from the
South, and reports the faithful execution of the
Reconstruction laws by all the District Com
manders,- and especially by Gen. Pope In
Mobile the Mayor and Chief of Police have
been removed. When the French Directory
ordered that every General who lost battle
should be shot, French Generals were seldom
defeated, andit might be equally good policy
to have it understood that Rebel riot in any
Southern city would be followed by the remov
al of the civil officers whose influence should
have prevented it.
