tractors. etc. He is particularly severe on one H.

most corrupt and incompetent man that ever neio
position Of such responsibility or trust. lie Is
said to be a great favorite with the Mexican En-
neror and in fact has been the real author OF
almost every measure or line of policy that has
been adopted by the Emperor's Government, and,
therefore the prime cause also Of tho failure OF
said Government.
| M..DosENEcn's account OF JuAREz is anything
but fattering to the Liberal champions; but, as we
remarked before these notices must be received
cum 9rdno.
Tho public interest in Mexican affairs seems 70
have very much abated OF lato i'll the Unlteo
States. in fact because tho news we receive from
there gre so unsatisfactory and generally very con-
tradctory; but the main reason doubtless is that
nolitics at home are all engrossing, and the most
important revolutions elsewhere. just now, would
excite but little interest in this country The teie-
graph occasionally brings an unimportant unsat-
isfactory, and perfectly unreliable pieco Of lntenl-
oence from Mexico; but Of the true condition OF
affairs in that much afflicted country we know
nothing. Latest adviccs per mail would lead ns
to believe that the Imperalists still hopeful Of
ultimate success They say that M1GANoN, MAR
oUEz and Mr5rA are reorganizing the army.
The Auqsburg Zeitung, one Of the most import
ant and best informed newspapers in Germany,
recently had letter from Mexico, dated on the
18th Of December 1866, in which the Intentions OF
MACMILLAN IRE sot forth by one who, in all proba-
bility, has good authority for his statements. 1t
SAYS ssThe Emperor MACMILLAN is indeed re-
solved to abdicate but he will not do SO until oil
the questions concerning tho return to Europe OF
the Austrian and Belgian volunteers arc well dis
posed Of Nor will he under any circumstances,
turn over his imperial prerogatiyes into the hands
of tho French, but he demands the convocation OF
national Congress- which is to decide whetller
Mexico is to bo I'M empire or republic. If the
decision--as the Emperor MAx1a1H1AN himself e1-
pects-is for q republican forlh OF government,
then he will abdicate in favor Of the legitimate
President elected by the people. Thereupon, no
longer as Emperor. but as Archduke MAx1on1AN,
he will transfer himself on board the Austrian
war steamer Elizabeth, and 60 for some time to
the island Of Madeira for the purpose OF devoting
the rcst OF the winter to the restoration of his
shattered health. It was FIRST his intention to join
his unfortunate wife in the island of Lacroma, but
tho physicians have pronounced against such
mcoting. The Archduko will then take his abode
in Sicily, and in no case return to Austria,
etc. etc"
On the other hand the adheronts of the Liberal
cause arc becoming more and more jubilant, now
asserting that the whole Of Mexico is now in thoir
possession, with the reception only of the cities of
Mexico Puebla and Vera Cruz, and the territory
in their Immediate vicinity. But there certainly
is still great deal Of division among the Liberal
leaders, and they quito hostile to each other
as they can possibly be to MAMMALIAN. Their
army is demoralizcd and tho people Of Mexico dis
gu. ted to the last degree by forced loans, and
plundering under every conceivable name, by all
parties in turn
The situation is truly doplorable. We can soc
no salvation for that country in any of the existing
governments or parties; and tho probom, i'll our
opinion is as Ear as ever from satisfactory sou-
ton. Tho most probable destiny before thcn is
that tile whole Republic or Empire will be swal-
lowed up by the MoSEoE Doctrinc,-always pro-
vided that the United States Government survive
the violent assaults made upon it's Constitution by
the parricidea Of the seth and 10th Congress.
