If fe quite possible that there sttll remains in the pub- “he mind & desire to know some of the reagons for the J iinet parties and all classes, The conservatives wherever they turned their eyes met, with nothing but shame, @esortions and complete abandonment of their eaase, Those who were without fuads quietly @ubmitted themetives to fate, while a great mumber ef the wealthier members of the party dout ail presence of mind, claiming that, having commit- ted themselves and their property to the empire, it was mot honorabie to be thus abandoned by their leaders, end their entire thoughts were concentrated upon the @ole ides of securing their safety by fleeing from the un- happy country, of by some other mesus, That part of ‘the liberal er conservative party—for such a fraction did exist, and which may be denominated the tiberai-impe- vial party—did aot experience less alarm, bat £0 conirol- Jed themselves as not to exbibit it, and in the midst of (@beir troubie began to pian for the future, and endeavored te 00 direct matters that a the opportune moment an erganigstion of some sort of « government could be ected which would still array itself against the repub- beeen government, of which Bentto Juarez was the Presi- dent. + Doring all of this time Marsbal Bazaine was not idle, ‘Bet, offering the protection of France, first to one party @ud then to the other, he succosded in preventing the @rgavizetion of either, and, reiying upon their weaknese, Re endeavored to assume suthority as chief of the ua- ton ‘The diplomatic corps, of course, played its part also, ‘and somethiag would bave been done and a great advan- tage might have been gained by any Power, at least tho glory and honor of having aided in passing over the government iuto the hands of Juarez, if any government had thought it worth while to send # minister of toler- Tepreseviative, M. ae Magnus, bad doubledly the wish to do aii be could to rescue ibe Emperor Maximiian from thie terrible = mire whicn know him to be in, Mot to have the abiliy to devise any method or rene oue if origi of suggested by another, ver, Le was a cousiant niteudant in the sk as but be seemed ecbamber of very near the Emporor, the result of his dip C tajont he succeeded in ac- compiisbifg the following resulia, not very important to the pation be repre-ented, not to the world, nor of of vent to Masimiiav, Ho obiained 8 eondecoration for bis father, « Prussian banker, the refusal of the Grand Cross of Guadalupe fur himsel, aud the refusal 7 the —— bit The ved bis danger, Len en bene ie press ‘iota wre represented Mr, Hooritks, whose life of frivolity and diss! tia not sufer bits to bea proper judge of his o fone, much jes@ Ue political situation and necessities of the country to which be was accredited, or of the foterests of the country Which be represented.

Through the press the world has already been roug' made familiar with his double dealings with Maximiliay, his endeavor to carry water on both shoulders, his private interviews and secret visits at the palace; the charges bene ty been laid at bis door are or may be go vari~ tive of the republic of the Uniied States, the only government recognizing and recognized by the liberal government of Mexico, or was he so basily engaged in private enterprises that he mistook the latier for bis duties as a representative, and so failed to take advan- tage of that moral weicbt which jhe United Sta'es oxer- ised over the mind‘of Maximitian, omitting to brine about one solitary practical result either in favor of the repub- lic, the empire, or of the country which he was sent to represent? Such being the diptomatic corps at the capita!, Maximilian felt that he could accomplish little or nothing throngh them toward a peaceful surrender of his authority as ruler to the peopis, to whom he was convinced he should surrender i There was no nation at hand through its ageot or min- tater to assist io perfecting and carry forward a ptaa by which he could learn the wit! of the people, and se- cure his own action in accor‘ance with suci will, with» out the repetiion of revolution and the shodting of blood, History sheuld not record Maximilian asa bad m He was, of conrse, misdirected, deceived at Mi- ra even afier his and serious hesitation a8 to the possibility of Mexico's asking for an Emperor, bu', having come to Moxico, ho was undoubtedly, at this hour, satisfied that s m: ‘hy on the American conti-~ nevt was a doubt(ui probiew, and he hoped to honorably retire from the country. Whata moment for Lewis D, Campbell to have ap peared on this fleld of diplomacy, Haid he landed when at Vera Cruz, or even returned there from New Orleans in January Inst, he would have bad the opportunity forced upon him for writing bis name aloft, higher op ‘among those of tho world’s most disting bod diplomatists. Maximilian loaged to spare Mexico trom the authority and the money-crasping a: of Bazaine, and to be macnavimous acceding as it were voluntarily, even moro ex- acting than those which the United States had fore-d upon France. But aestiny wouid not have itso. The only possible expiation of the attempt to establish @ monarchy ia Mexico appears to have been the death of the instrument employed by others who were ont of danger, for Maxtmi'ian persuaded, as be waa, that he ought to rely exclusively on American interests, made a Jast effort in Paebla, when on his way back to Mexico, to obtain the aid of tho United states, not with the object of consolidating bis throne, but to endeavor to obtain the aid of tho United States in bringing the empire to an honorable end. He sent Mr. Luis de Arroyo to the United States with a sufficient amount of money to enable him to represent their interests with honor to the person who sent him. But although Mr. Arroyo departed from Puebla in the last days of the month of December, 1866, this gentleman, instead of repairing to bis post with the utmost speed, lost the ‘most precious part of his valuable time in attending to the investment of his ill gotten gains in the isiand of sean he-is now said to be the proprietor of a fine ntation, In Puebla the Emperor Maximilian met, for the first time, General Castelnaa and Mr. Dand, who bad come expressly from Mexico to prevent his return to the capital, and who tned every possible means to prevent the. execution of the line of conduct which be had traced ont for himself at Orizaba, viz.:—the assemblage of a Congress, and the determination not to abdicate while a French soldier was within the Mexican territory, as they were soon to leave, unless the mission of Amen senia make it Ieable to the French delayed their departure. Ni the Emperor’s resolution was left untried, and more than once he seemed to waver. It is certain if Maxi- milfan had received less slights and insults from Bazaine and Castelnau there would have been probability of success, but he could not lay aside his hatred for the fg ere rough the erous plang, upon the question his coming to Mexico and his abdication, so that Bazaine could assume the government, but.aiso in the matters of the Custom House treaty, reimbarkation of pes ere and Belgians, payment of the Yturbide mily, &c. Instead of preventing his return to Mexico the repre- sentations of these gentiemen hastened it, and he pro- posed on his arrival there the immediate assemblage of the Congress which should decide the form of govern- ment for Mexico, and the question of the will of the people as to his departure from the country and the sur- render of his authority. In order to facilitate this meeting Were sent to the most influential and respectable of the republican chiefs, most of whom declined to take any active part. Another step in furtherance of the jm was the formation of the law which was to elections, The formation of this law had s ‘Ansel regulate # been confided by order of Maximilian on the meeting of the State Council to that , bus inasmuch as the ma. jority of thas body, especially the President and all of tho iinteters, opposes toe waaanar’ joally, and as the entire month of teptember not a rolitary vow ab been taken to propose the Iaw. he therefore, bet he left Puebla gave to the Imperial Com: Choice for Vice Pr t ¥ Become a Manutacturing Coun try—American Versus European Idea of Ei gineering the Mexico and Vera Cruz R. Robbery in the Capital. Maxico, Oct 10, 1867. The problem of the future government of Mexico is being solved, and as the vote comes in from the distant States it is evident that Benito Juarez is to be the Presi- dent of Mexico for enother term—a result very satis~ factory to those who declared that not to re-elect him ‘Would be to disapprove of his career during the past years of strogele, Among those who have elected Jua- ves there are very many friends of General Diaz, and there js scarcely a person in Mexico who is not prow) to accord to him the honor and glory of being & great military chief, and certainly the flattering vote which he recetved for President, and the vote of the friends of Juarez for Diaz for Judge of Supreme Court, or Vice President, in this campaign, is an jotumation of what he may expect{rom this people when peace shall have been fully restored, and when hecan with safety retire trom the camp and field. No man to-day tp Mexico is held nearer the hearts of this people, and as now in the field, so hereafter im civil life ho is des- tined to hold an tufluential and commanding position. Aa the constitution of Mexico reqpires that the Judze of the Supreme Court, or Vico President, shall receive more than one-halt of all the votes cast, it is probable that this election was passed over to the coming Congress, as there has been much diversity of opmmion upon this office, General Diaz, the present Secretary of State, Lerdo de Tejada, and others having been voted for in different parts of the country. Tho entire éivilized world will now watch with anxi- ous interest the conduct of Mexico and such of her leaders os shail constitute her goverament for the coming fow years. The experimeat of a monarchy partially sup- ported by more then a single nation of Europe bas been attem pted and failed, ‘That of a republic will, of course, now be brought betore ua, and the responeibiity will be @ great one fur ail or any who shati represent the peovie.

On the 7th of ag you will see by the accom- Panying decree, published this morning—but which T forward ip Spanish, not Daviag dime ws translate itt will be seen that the governmdéht granted a conces#ign to Mr, Emile La Sere for the re-establishment of @ Tehuantepec route, Mr. La Sere arrived here in July, and after patient representations to Juarez aud his Cabi- net has at length recoived from the government ® concession, the ove given to Mr. Ta Reintree having been annulled come weeks since, Mr. La Sere, as prest- dent of the old Tehuantepec Company, bas had great experience, and we anticipate the immediate commence- ment of the work on the road by those New York capi- whom he represents. There are several other parties here seaking concessions, bat Mr. La'Sere ia the first ucceseful party, Messrs, Halt and Rovmson, rop- resatiting Holladay & Co., althouzh theyhave been fove- ra! mooths in attendance upon the government at Du- rango, San Lois Potosi and bere, have not yet succeeded in what they, wish. Many other parties are similariy, situated. The government t» ready and anxions to grant concessions where the country is to be benefited, pro- yided the applications come from hna fide, substantial parties, always supposing that there ars ne political questions involved in tho case, as in that of Holiaday Co, Gulonel Quevedo, Ministor Pientpotentiary to Rio Inwerro from Bolivia, has arrived bere in Mexico, ac- companied by bie secretary and eon. They were erpe- cially sent by the President of Bolivia to congratulate President Juarez unon the restored republic of Mexico and the success achieved over the attempt to establigh.® monarchy in Mexico, On the 8th inst, these centlemen wero officially received by President Jnarez and Cabinet, Mr. Plumb arrived in Metica on the 6:h of Ostobar. after a tedious trip of five daya from Vera Cruz. He presented his credentials on the 8th. In regard to Santa Ana, the government bas received a telegram despatch from th* presifent of the court at Vera Cruz asking if it is the desire that Santa Ana should be executed immediately after sentence, or if the President will entertain a petition for pardon or commu- tation of sentence, The Prosident replied by raph that the papers of the trial should be sent bim and the execution of the sentence postponed til! bis action on the revision of the papers should bs returned to the conrt, I have good reason to predict that Santa Ana will not be executed. His fiasco at Vera Cruz is rather considered the result of his second childhood, and you mayeoxpect to hear of a commatation of sentence, As I have previously written, no more diood will be shed by the liberals, except that of Marquez, whose exeection soe be approved by all parties, liberal and conserva- ives. Tegethoff ts still here, He has now made several Positive appointments for his departure without the body of Maximilian, and by changing bis mind has dis- appointed everyone, as did Maximilian himself when alive. In sending him for the body the family were especially unfortunate, and many of the friends of the House of Hapsburg hoped he would return to Austria and that some person of more judgment and tact be sent for it, It is surprising that.a man of his rank in the Austrian navy, who must bea man of travel—of busi- ness—should thik of leaving on such @ mission with one strip of paper etnies tho natare of his business. It is believed that on his arrival here he fell into the the bands of certain parties, and was 80 mavipalated by them that it might result in just such a state of affairs as has ensued. these parties boping that his failare to f wacetiren would exasperate Austria and, possibly, nee, and that something warlike might follow; par- ties who had a gradge against repablican Mexico. Aus. tria should not feel vexed, but send out some gentleman with papers—from the mother of Maximilian wontd be suficiont—and the body will be detivered. She should be certain to send out some one who has some powers of discrimination and some knowledge of diplomacy. Madame Miramon, widow of the late General, left Mexico on the 8th for Vera Cruz, whence she sails for Vienva. Her chiléren go with her. In the inst hours of Maximilian he is said to have written to bis mother that ahe was about to lore a son, and tbat in his way to the mother of Maximilian, The body of the late Emperor still remains in Mexico, having been further jet for, and awaits the from Anstria. There have been some ridiculous whis- perings about the stealing of the body and replacing it with an artificial one, &c.: but the simplest way to get the body from Mexico will be to send the papers for it. The election returns have reached here from Vera Cruz, Orizaba, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Quorétaro, Toluca, Cordova, San Juan dei Rio and other places, in all of which large majorities have resulted to President Juarez.
