CHARLESTON'. THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21,1867. 1 ~~ MEXICO. . Our readers will pardon us, wo feel assured, if we have of late paid but Uttle attention to affairs in the Empire Republic' beyond the Rio Grande. -The political situation at home has been a subject of continued anxiety, and there has bee? so little re? cently in the aspect of public affairs all. over ;the United States, that could furnish any source for sincere congratulation, that, dtis with a bad grace any American journal can address itself to the task of reviewing affairs in Mexico, and drawing infer? ences from its lato history, disparaging or prejudi? cial to. tho descendants of the Aztecs, the Monte zumas, or the later Spanish graft. But os tho wires, within the last few days, have brought ?ome important items of intelligence, some of them per? haps mere rumors, wo have thought a resume of late events in that country may not 'pfove unin? teresting. , .v ... ,. ., The condition bathings in 'Mexico is amomalous; While there is a party of the Church and a laboral party, and another that adhores to the Emperor's j government ; this division furnishes no real clue to the condition of things. The- possession of po I litical power is .disputed' by half a dozen or moro mihtary loaders,1 who cannot be sail to profess any principie (without doing great violence to the word,) but who are ready to oppose alladversa | ries by force of arms,- and to shoot or banish any rival, whonv-fbrtune may denver into their hands. There appears to be no " people" there, in oui" liens? of that term. The more adventurous range themselves under one or other of the chiefs, the rest of the people are never heard of, except when they are forced to pay some heavy sum of money io" an adverse chieftain. It is altogether curious, to find after nearly four " centuries. of : European civilization, 'such an anomalous state of affairs, neith?ftnore nor less than actual brigandage gov? erning a large, populous and' healthy country. .Why such is the case is.an enquiry foreign to Our pr?sent purpose. The French troops, wo learned by telegraph yesterday, have at last finally evacuated the oity of Mexico. . In -the .same issue yesterday, we also published the French Etoperor'B' address to the Corps L?gislatif, on tho re-assembling of that body. In it there is the following reference to the Mexican expedition : , .... - "In another part of-the-globe we have been obligee! to employ force to repress legitimate grievances, and we have endeavored to raise an an? cient empire. Tho happy results at tot obtained were, compromised by an inauspicious concur I-ronce or circumstances.; The gideong idea of the Mexican expedition. waa an t?evated-ohe; to Tegis late a people, and impart among them ideas of order and progress; to open vast outlets" to our commerce; and leave the recognition of services rendered to civilization to mark our path. Such was: my desire and yours; but as soon as the ox tent of our sacrifices appeared tome4o exceed the interestswhich ;had^alted us>acr03S the. ocean,. I determined,1 of 'my own accord, therccallof our army corps, in order that the Government of the Unitedi ?tates might compro l oud that.it wasianly the absence, of conciliation in policy which had embittered -^^trrons.-- which-, '1crf-titer Hvelfare of both countries, should remain friendly." A most unfortuBot?-faux pas, this, of His Im? perial Majesty. This reference, finely drawn, and highly diplomatically ion-committal though it ia, will not impose on any one. It will not heighten the respect for his government in the eyes of the United States. It will not soften the animosity, r entertain ed -by MAXTMTL?AN and Iiis friends, for suoh abandonment; nor will it soothe the irritation of .the French people, who feel a donble resent? ment in connection with the Mexican.expedition: the great expense involved, and the terrible blow its failuro haa inflicted on the national prestige. It ia a lame and impotent conclusion to a magnificent enterprise; and Hie end might have been different. The Emperor MAXTMTTJAN, in his own justifica? tion, andwith a view cf obtaining;thVm?iat sitjP port cf the public opinion of Europe, has sent a circular to-his diplomatic: agehtd in . Europe. Ho reminds the world that before he consented to as? sume the crown he stipulated that the nation he was invited to rule should be consulted, and he also received large promises of foreign Bupport and of extraordinary means. A powerful alliance was guaranteed him by a solemn treaty. His re? sources, largely obtained in the form of a loan from France, melted away rapidly under the ne? cessity of providing for the support of a very costly foreign army. The piy? war, jwos protract-, ed by reason of che presence of foreign troops. Before it had been possible to conceive th e ob? starles;, that presented themselves^, tho iqrma tion of a sufficiently numerous Mexican army it was announced that the French proposed retiring before ,the.stipulated time, and theicpnc^ti^tion of their forces soon afterward commenced, leaving large districts abandoned to the inroads of the dis? affected. This naturally had the effect of disheart? ening the Imperialists and cf encouraging the In? surgents, and the civil war, which had begun to languish, quickly blazed up again, The Emperor MAXTWTT.TAN was informed that negotiations bad been set' on foot for the. formation of an alliance between France and the United States, with the object of restoring peace and tranquility to Mexi? co, and that it had been laid down as a basis of such alliance that the Mexican Government shp.nld assume a repubhean-form and a liberal character. Thia was a very severo blow tb MAXIMILIAN, arid to that numerous and respectable part of the Mex? ican people which had gladly gathered round him, trusting in his good intention and iopefcl, that under his rule, days of happiness and' prosperi? ty mightyet be in store' for their ?ong-diBtracted county. All such hopes were now fnistrated, and fresh gloom and many misfortunes accumulated over Mexico. Obviously, thefmidamental condition of the agreement between France and the United States was imcompatible with the existence of the Empire and wit' ? the integrity of the Mexican. terri? tory. Tho.country was rapidly reverting to a state of anarchy. Encouraged bj the prospect of plunder and bloodshed, the outlaws and brigands BO plenti? ful in Mexico flocked to the insurgent banner. The Emperor MAXIMILIAN Baw no escape from the false po8ition,oreated for. hun by the desertion pf his ally except r?sign??bn of trie1 crowh which that ally had, hi the . first instance, induced him .to. accept. "He resolved1 to restore to the nation tho power it had placed in his hands. As a preliminar}' step to the carrying out of that intention, he con? voked afr Orizaba his Council of Minist?rs- and the Council of State. Both those bodies strongly op? posed his abdication, which they declared would j lead to the ruin of the country, and urged him to j organize tho national army, and moko effortB to maintain himself. It was suggested that a nation? al congress on an ample hosie should be convokod in order that it might decide what form of govern? ment the country deaired, propose meaaurcs of organization, and adopt means of creating re? sources for carrying on the administration. Tho Council of State agreed to deliberate on these measurcsr-and t?ie*Eraper^-^oase^ri?e#: to-remain at tho head of affairs and to labor for tho regener? aron of the country. A manifesto was published, addressed to the nation. It is acknowledged that i he Emperor of tho French gave instructions to Marshal BAZAINE, to support MAXIMILIAN'S Govern? ment and plans, BO far as was consistent with tho concentration of troops and othor steps that had to be taker/to prepare for their approaching evac? uation of Mexico. At tho last advices by mail the embarkation of tho French was progressing, arid" a largo fleet of trans? ports was expected to lake tho whole forco away. It was probable tho last French soldier would be shipped before or by the 1st of March. Marshal BAZAINE, acting nuder i ^ructions from home;, doubtless, had issued a circular or proclamation informing I^euchmen. who should join tho Mexi? can arhiy that they would do ao at tho peril of be? ing denationalized. Thoy havo no permission to join tho Mosican a. my, and if they do they must not dook ta France for protection. NAPOLEON is resolved to wash his hands clean of any possible difficulty with or about Mexico hereafter. It is evident, too, that Marshal BAZAINE wants MAXIMILIAN and the Imperialists out of the way so that tho Liberal General PoBFiaio DIAZ may occu? py the City of Mexico as soon aa he evacuates it. Duz was approaching the city. Tho Marshal see? ing, probably, that this would prevent unnecessary bloodshed and arnarchy. acts in ? spirit ol'human? ity toward the inhabitants, In the mean timo several of the Mexican chiefs, who had linked their fortunes with the empire, were preparing to make a desperate straggler^ savo themselves. MARQUEZ and MTBAMON were most conspicuous in the new movement against JUABEZ. Thoy were making forced; loans7 and MAHQ?EZ was most active in doing .this in the City of Mexico, Puebla and Very Cruz. Men wore being pressed into the service of these chiefs in tile most rigorous manier, and sent forward to check the march of the Liberals towards the Capital. But hardly any one believes they would^bojB^ "With all tne^uof ts'ihey were making their means and force were ?small. "-.Their s?yere measuf es of impressment and forced loans would operate against them as soon as the Liberals approached.' The opinion was g?n?ral that both MASQUEZ and MIBAMOK wQuId. soon have .to fly from the country, if not captured, to save themselves. And since then!we"haVe"T??cl a telegraphic dispatch announc? ing the capturo of MIBAMON. So also has the .cap? ture of OBTEO?been announced; and there certain? ly has hoon a rumor of the capture also of JUABEZ.
