MAXIMILIAN.s CAPTURE.

The government has been informed
that Macmillan and all the remnant of
the Imperial forces in Mexico were cap
tured on the 18th inst, and EscObedO, the
immediate commander of the capturing
force, reports that President Juarez
promptly issued orders that Macmillan
and all his Generals should be shot. This,
then, is The hapless and perhaps bloody
termination Of the attempt so pompO usly
entered upon a few years ago, and so
vaiantly backed by two of the great
powers of Europe, to put scion Of one
Of the Oldest dynasties of the old world
over a mOngrel, turbulent people in
the new, who have not known stable
government for half a century, and
who are incapable of approaching it in
any form While we appove the Monroe
doctrine, and deprecate European inter
ference in the affairs of this contitent,
we cannot say that we rejoice sat this re
suit This nation ought to desire a per-
manent government for Mexico for more
reasons than one In the first place, it is
neither safe nor agreeable to have a
neighbor so near, always in anarchy 4;
secondly, it is to our interest to have that
rich region developed and settled into a
condition of quiet and prOductiyeness;
and thirdly, an orderly and strong govern
ment there would reduce probabilities
of its acquisition by the United States,
for we want no more territory We had
no especial sympathy with this move
ment, but somebody at some time will
have to do for the Mexicans what Maxi
milan failed to do, and the sooner the
better for them and all concerned on this
side of the world
is the duty of this government, in
the name of humanity, and because our
maintenance Of the Monroe doctrine pre-
vents any one else from doing it, TO inter
yene if it can do 50 in time, and demand
that the execution reported to be ordered
shall not take place. If Macmillan be
shot, or if be be held under sentence for
any length of time, France or Austria, or
both, may attempt to interfere by force to
prevent it, in spite of our construction of
international law, or protest against the
attempt An embodiment of this kind
might be avoided, and a just and wise act
performed if the American government
would Immediately notify Juarez that it
was its desire that this bloody proceeding
should not be carried out.
