The writer of tho communication does not vouchsafe to inform us what these conditions are; but public rumor still says thoy muat consist of a guarantee by Freach and English bayonets and credit of the newly created empire. ‘The following is tho article and communication from tho Paris Presse:— We have received from a person who is certainly in a postion to be well informed of the intentions of the Archduke Maximilian tac following communication:— ‘Tamsre, Sept. 17, 1963, ‘The Mexican deputation will not reach here betore the 26th, nnd there ts great curiosity to learn the response which wilt be made to it by the Emperor Maximilian, In the circies near to the Court of Miramar it is no secret, it ig true, that tho Archduke Maximilian is drinly resolved to risk the Mexican venture; but ho will demand of tho doputation certain condtiio:s, the accomplish- ment of which must precede bis acceptance of tl crown of Mexico; and it is precisely the tene ot these conditions which pow excites public cu riosity. The Orst among thace will naturally bo the avthoriza- ion of the Emperor, if indeed, that authorization is not accorded previous to the arrival of the deputation. But ‘that the Emperor will forbid his brother to accept at his risk and peril tho mission to which he feels himaeif calt- ed, notwithstanding ali the difficulties which attend it, and which the Archduke fully appreciates, nobody bere Dolieves. And, in fact, the Archduke Maximilian does not demand aid of any description for his eterprise, and he ig even resolved to sacrifice to It his position and his rizhts as the firss agnate of the imperial hovse. We cannot seo then with what motives be will be for. Didéen to obey the profound conviction which -eems to urge him in an irresistable mannor to devote bimself with all which ho can porsonally give to this task, which in any case is nag From the moment Archduke decides to make the immense sacrifice of a complete renunciation of ail the prerogatives and advantages resuitiog from bis birth aod his position nearest to the Austrian throne, ‘pers. pal resolutions cease to be en rapport with the in torost and the politics of his own coautry. If the Arch- duke should consent fo piace the mouarchy which he hopes tofound in America, for tha frst few yours at Toast, uader the protection, cven under the dependence, of France, that isan affair which might interest the poiitics of England or the United States, but which affects ‘ho Austrian interest, from the moment wen the founda. tion of the edifice which the Archcuke Maximilian would construct is laid, ceither with the assent nor with the mo.ns of Austria. . What may be objected or oven undertaken, from an Engish or American point of view, against the creation of @ monarchy in Mexico, cannot’ bave escaped the thought of the Archduke Maximilian; for, without avy doubt, be bus fully examined his project, and is tamitiar ‘with the vurious opimions in relation to it; and he certain- fy cannot bo ignorant of the fact that nearly alt there opinions Lave beer unfavorable. But i€ all this cannot ahake his resolution, we must render nomage to the drm- ness of his conviction, whatever opinious may be bused ‘upon the matior, The fate which is preparing for bim my be deplored, but no ono can deny that nts enterprise is worthy of a bravo beart. He eaters upoo ry full consciousness of the responsibilities which will fol- dow it. The Presse adds that, according to his letter the, Arch- duke soems to be irrevocable. It insists again upon the dangors which this acceptance may produce to Austrian politics, and upon the resistance which the foundation of a European monarchy tn Mexico will meet at the hands of ‘the United States. An interesting and important decision has just been made by the Tribunal of Commerce in Bordeaux. In January last a firm in that city, MM, Delmas et La- font, obtained insurance upon two hundred cases of wine ponaigngd to New York, upon the American vessel Oliver Sask which vessel on her passage across the Atlantic was burned by the Alabama, Messrs. Delmas & Lafont made a clatm against the ‘nsurance company for the value of the wine, on the ground that the policy insured them ugainst the “capture and molestation of pirates.” The tribunal decided against them, condemned them to pay- ment of costs and in the course of the decision establish- ed the following formulas:— Firat—So far as France is concerned, the Northern and Southern States of the American Union are belligerente— that is to say, two proples in a state of war. Second—Ibe Union not having accepted the decla- ration of the Congress 0’ Paria, abolishing privatecring, has tho right to deliver letters of marque, ‘Tnire—Ihe veesel, the Alabama, bearing the ting of the Southern States, cannot be cons dered as a pirate, but ouly a8 @ privateer, since sh» respects neutral vessels and only makes use of forces against the enemies of the Confederates. Fourth—On these eccounts, the burning of a verte Welonging to the Northern £tites aud the merchandise which was on board, constitutes an act of war, for which the insurers need not respond unless there be a special ‘convention to this effect. I send you a copy of the entire decision, whih cortainly exhibits an animus not particularly favor ablo to the Nortberu portion of the belligeronts. Notwithstanding the statements to that effect im the » journals, Mr, Mason ha pot yet arrived in Paris, vere among the fogs of Loudon, probably busi ly onyaged in taking leave of those “many dear friends which ho stated in bis speech at the Lord Mayor's dinner he had made in Evgland. His letter to Earl Russell, aunouncing bis suspension of diplomatic relations wiih the government of Groat Britain, would lead to the belief that ho would not honor the Minister of Foreign ASairs with the light of his presonce in ordor to bid bim per- sovally “a jong aud sad good by,” at which the noble Karl must (ol particularly bad, vho departure of Mr. Masoa from Kogland can only bo cousidered a favorable sign—a sign that he and his govoruinent have oxhausted all hope of recognition from England—uotil ,at least, they have earned it at the point of the bayonet, More immediately, too, it may be con sidered as evidence that the Eoglish government d.os sot intend to permit avy more piratical craft, and par. ticularly the two vessels now lying in the Mersey, to eail out of Eaglish ports to prey upon our commerce Indeed it is undorstood that Earl Rusecl! has been plainly in formed by oar government that the departure of there vorsols would be looked upon as a declaration of war on tho part of Groat Britala againat the United States.
