My government did more, it asserted that if the imperial government persisted in the occupa- tion of the Oriental State by land forces it would con- sider this fact as a casus belli, and would consider it its unavoidable duty to look upon it as the beginning of host} ties, The imperial government not only disregarded the just considerations submitted to its wisdom and judg. ment by my government, it went further, it viewed with contumpt the friendly interest of the latter, and Jot loose npon the Oriental soil, whore antonomy it had coma 6 by public treaties jointly with the Argentine republic, a strong division of the army, whereby the rebellion against the legal govern- ment was enco while the bdarded with impunity the defenceless Oriental republic, stained ‘ental : dant rivers, reddened its fields, and reduced its Jourish- ing towns to rains, Justice, humanity and {nternational right, the only safeguard of weak peoples against the despotism and violence of the strong, were paipfulty trampled upon y Ragy terse and un as or the Cabjnet of San Cristobal, wich} a total disregard of the usaves sanctioned by civilized nations. ed Sa ad of Paraguay has not ignored that the Kichsirabces presented to the Oriental government by te government of Brazil might be partially right, and if they bad been confined withjn the limits prescribed by the right of nations, it ey bad not been sought as a motive for Dringing about a warlike conflict, cortamiy the repudlie vor any woold not have raised its voice in this emergency, unless in the interest of an bonorable and ifle solution, but the question went beyond the cou- Boee of diplomacy and facts pointed to an imminent Tw the situation in which the Oriental republic was cod @is violent pressure by force, on the pari of the razilan Lemay ae —_ cr my Aged sary to confess, a proc ng we ie gen- erosity aud less nobleness. : The events which Ihave narated, being this dotned, and its good dispositions and Sonn thing ‘was left to it save to have recourse to arms, a! to them, it appealed, UXT pewace: poo “wre Fights jeopardize: sive policy of @ govern- weet Wet wan Bot even secking xts to give ap honest to its menacing policy, ‘The success of the Brazilian arms, assisted by the re- which had the same tendencies as Brazil, could not a i LS Ess disappearance government and tI creation of another more docile and condescending to Brazilian exigencies, The rebellion, therefore, triamphed owing to the efforts of Brazil—Seneral Flores, abe pomenatirs the oa Ri ores to , and Brazil postponed peremptory ci ims, hed peonte. oy force, into the war whlch 1. as prepar force, into the war Ww! it was oalaet Parageny.

It seems to not injurious, onerous to her rights, for She sacrificed thereby an important portion of them with the lofiy view of forestalling every motive that might in future affect the good relations between the two countries; bat when the Imperial Cabinet was pondering over the stipulations of the very treaty proposed by it, and ac- cepted with generous aonegation by my government, its territorial pretentions fully, satistied fora moment, as- sumed greater dimensions, It rejected therefore that treaty in which Paraguay made immense concessions, and the latter being per- Suaded of tho imporsibility to satisfy the exorbitant territorial pretensions of Brazil without injuriously mutilating the national territory, which seemed to bo Brazil’s object, while its claims augmented in propor- tion as the republic condescended to them, it became Recessary under such circumstances to postpoue the question of limits, Since then the loyaity of the Cabi- net of San Cristobal bas been less appreciated by my government, Nevertheless, the relations between two countries rema ned on a perfect footing of frie: be which nothing appeared likely to disturb, ‘he necessity of contributing to the destruction of the sovereignty aud ind*pendence of the Republic of Paras guay, and whilst it stipulates her submission to the Aitied Governments, dae uttor disappearance und diseo- lution of her legal government, the disarming of the country, and the subdivision of ber terrivory, it entails upon “her ap immouse debt, aud establishes @ tectorate, It goes further, it creaies a government over which the influence of the allies will weigh with an iron hand tbat it may cause (the utter ruin of the republic, And shall we be asked to accept this unworthy treaty which is olfvred to the goverument of the republic when we have elements more than su cient at our comimand to sustain with the fullest our rights as a freo and independent nation?

[From the Buffalo Courter, June 1.) What the Mexicans may do with the prisoner, how- ever, cannot be said to have been yet positively decided. If Maximilian had been shot when taken, or s00n after wards, the news would have travelied swiftly, and we would have bee: prised of it by this time, so that there 1g a chance that his death has not yet been positively ordered; and what possible object lis deat may effect, except to cause the entire civilized world to protest against such atrocity, it is difficult to see, {From the New York Evening Express, June 3.} Maximilian, as we judge by the news from Mexico and the speech of General Sturm, the Juarez agent in this city, is to be dealt with, not executed. He is to be kept asa prisoner, worried and tormented, and perhaps set free for a bonus, We may be mistaken fn this, and Maximilian may be executed, but we don’t believe that Jaarez and his friends dare to take the consequences before the civilized world of their threatened execution. Supposing all that General Sturm says to be true, we cannot but remember that the precedent murders of Miramon and Don Manuel Robles, and the executions complained of a8 against the liberals were the result of the advice and orders of a purely Mexican Cabinet.

Maximilian deserves censure for having engaced in that underiaking which Napoleon III. planned, but he could plead the force of strong temptation—and there are few men capable of refusing a proffered crown.
