TEN 41.NXICAN PROBLEM From the Boston Cost Napoleon has declared a monarchy for the Mexican people, and nominated Maximilian, the !brother of age Emperor of Austria. and 09n-in-law of the King of Belgium, as Empe ror in the halls of tbe Montezuma,. Gen. Fo rey selected a superior committee of thirty-five, and this committee selected two hundred and fifteen, to form a council of notables, and this council proclaimed the Empire. To'make this beautiful little roundabout cotnedy—or tragedy —short, Napoleon 111. has appointed Maximil ian, of the House of Hapsburg, 'to be Emperor of Mexico. The Mexican people, notwithstand ing the select committee, and the council of notables, had nothing to do with the play- Have we any indications that the Mexican people have consented, and will consent to this ? Let us see. Forey has had to fight his way to Mexico. Therefore there was certainly the element of opposition which had to be over come by the sword before the city of Mexico could be reached. In a direct line to that city from Vera Cruz, the people are conquered, and thernow make a show of acquiescence ; where money had bent freely distributed, or where fear, or policy dictated, under the immediate' mouths-of French cannon, they make a show of rejoicing at the news of the New Empire.— But we do not learn that this was the case in the other portions of that great Republic. The select committee and the council of notables acted as prisoners of war, and not as free men. The Mexicans made a noble resistance with arms,- and it is a wrong to human nature to suppose that, SO Sun, they have been recon ciled to the will of their conqueror. Prance . mar claim that the Mexicans are enthusiastic in accepting an alien Emperor, but they should remember that, forty years since, 'when the last Empire was proclaimed, "Long live Au gustin I," was said to be the "universal cry of the army and the people." But this Emperor of the people was beheaded after a reign of a few months, as a traitor to his country. They km! in Mexico as well as in Paris how to de capitate kings. Juarez made a determined de fence to Forey ; but was he sitiale•handed ? By no means ' • he bad soldiers gathered up from several of the different States, apd these men fought well and died; and have the friends of this army consented to be ruled by an alien Emperor ? Mr. Corwin one year since wrote to Mr. Seward, and stated that "never were the Mexicans better united in any scheme whatever than now in opposition to foreign in tervention." He also averred that "Almonte was evidently the agent to subvert the present government add establish in its stead, a more , arohy more or less absolute, having for its representative some European prince. The idea of- a foreign potentate is rejected by a vast majority of all parties." It wa s the buainess of Mr. Corwin to study the opinions of the Mexican people; and he undoubtedly studied and reported them correctly. Even two were found in this Council of Nobles, ereated by and dependent on the breath of Foray, who dared to vote against this usurpation. A greater part of the country is now under and acknowl edge the authority of Juarez, and Forey has Supp-te,4B'idlhf papers so that news not ap proyedhy him shall not disseminate ibloorig the people. Of course they are not instructed of radical changes, and cannot form ideas and purposes so as to make a basis of united oppo sition. again, why has not Forey submitted this matter to the people if he desires the free expression of their sentiments? if what is re ported is true, that the people rejoice under an Emperor from the House of Hapsburg. Men made by his hands, under duress, have pro claimed what he told them to prooleine and this is reported se the elegant of the people:-a Even the vanity of Paris will not accept this as any security for the permanence of the new empire. Gen. Prim, the Spanish General coin ' mending a corps of the army in the first of the invasion, wrote to Napoleon, Marsh 17, 1862, and expressed. the profound conviction that there were very few men of monarchical Ben: timents in Mexico ; that it would be compara tively easy to conduct a prince to the capital and crown him a King, but the new ruler would find no support but conservative leaders who, when in power, never thought of establishing a monaroy. The conclusion is forced upon us, that Mex ico, that no party in Mexico aside from Al monte and a few of his adherents, have con sented, or will consent, to a voluntary recog nition of the new Empire. If it is maintained, it will be maintained by force of arms. • France must fight the Mexican people if she would secure the integrity of the new throne to Maxi milian—who doubts, also, but that they would have to fight the United States? Has Napoleon acted absolutely alone in this movement ? Let 178 see as to the probability_ The Archduke Maximillian is the oldest brother of the Emperor of Austria ; is a son-in-law of Leopold, of Belgium; Queen Victoria is niece Of the Ring of Belgium, and cousin to the wife of Maximilian; and his wife is grand-daugh ter to the ex-Queen of the French. It is cer tainly unreasonable to Suppose that the Em peror of Austria was not coesulted before Na poleon would nominate Maximilian to the important position ; it is improbable to sup pose that Leopold did not know of, and consent to this elevation of his son-in-law ; and equally out of the natural course of human events to believe that Victoria did not know of this new Empire for her cousins. Napoleon, by title nomination, gains the consent, if not the ad herence of England; Austria, and Belgium. This is certainly a formidable array of power, but the selfishness of human nature in general, of monarchs in particular, is such, that no great reliance can be planed upon the alliance of these confederates in crime. What support Napoleon may get here in his scheme, is not yet absolutely evident. England. at least the Protestant people, will not care to build up Catholic Empire for their natural enemy, France, in Mexico. The only reason that Spain could give for adherence, would be the sustainance of the church party; and this would be the reason why England would not eo.eipera . e. E ng l an d does not love the ultra montane church, and there is no reason:why she should throw a slice to Austria and the Pope and gain nothing in return. The only theory that will cause England to co. operate, is the hope or the destruction of the Great American Republic. Ecclesiasticism and the love of power may hold a party with Almonte and Napoleon in Mexico. France, Aus tria, and Spain. but England will adhere, if at all, to punish the American people , for preen. ming to achieve a national success rivaling her own.. This policy may, and to-day 'it seems probable will, cause Eogland to play into the hands of Napoleon, that she may destroy the new sea kings of the West from off the face of the waters. The love of power is the ruling thought, the spring of action, the primula mobile of this maze of national movement, The im perial houses of Hapsburg, Napoleon and Guelp look upon nti of the West as their natural and PRICE TWO 'CENTS. inevitable, enemies, as the perpetual sourell Of a disturbing influence against which they, last , fight to retain their thrones, henoe they'riztat naturally desire to achieve our downfall a consummation ;moot devoutly to b& wished. •.T do this, they must have a foothold ; tbey dregs to find it in Mexico. They dream and hope more than this also, that they may avail them selves of faction in the United States to'over turn them. Their plans are net yet wonted,' yet they are sufficiently developed to indicate the direction of future operations Davis and Napoleon may soon strike hands together; Davis will be driven to this as the last hope of his dawning Confederacy.; he , will guarantee no disturbance to Napoleon and Maximilian in Mexico from the ambitions empire-makers of the South ; and Napoleon will recognize, and therefore necessarily fight for the Confederacy'. There is only one hope for monarchy in America. and that is the division or the Union. Mon archists seize upon our eivilwar as the only gleam of hope fcir theta in their ambition here, 'and they are now slow but cautious about avail ing themselves of it. Mr. Seward relied upon the statements of the Allies a year ago in his circular letter to our diplomatic agent*, and said tbai ,‘ the President rested on the assur ranee given by the Allies that they were in pur suit of no political object, bat simply the redress of their or gnomes." But the mask was thrown off when Napoleon wrote his letter to Forey, which letter was officially communicated to the French Chamber. He, before this, professed amity ; that he intended no harm ; only the redress of grievances ; Dttt in this letter he said : " The time had come when he could. speak plainly about his designs in Mexico. The United States are in trouble and are not likely just now to resent my conduct, and when I get possession of Mexico the world will be come acoustomed to the matter, and it will not be easy for the United States to undo what I have done. My motive is not, the recovery of the debts Mexico owes to France, but to check the growth and cramp the power of the United States, and to do this I will.-conquer Mexico, make her a monarchy or French province, and ; who knows but that in time I may be able to seize the whole gulf coast and dominate the Antilles and South America as the United States may do if I do not." Let us keep this before all the people of the United States. Let them read, and ponder ; let the proper sentiment be educated, which 'will rise up and resent with a terrible power this insult to a nation in misfortune. We must cure faction here. We have serious need to be united. The personal liberty, the political 115erty, the peeitliar liberty, oharacte.r and glory of every A Infirlean citizen is attacked by this French usurper, he has thrown down the guantlet of defiance, and the oause must be tried. It may be commenced soon, it may be delayed in the commencement, but come it will, so let each man look to his implements of power, and have them ready and burnished for the coming day. Above all, let not the hammer of the shipbuilder be stayed, for on these iron ribs of the sea, no more "oak," shall , we vindiove our destiny. THE SUEZ CANAL in an article on the Suez Canal, which we copied from the London Times, the statement was made that this work was "an undertaking that Egypt herself had never dreamed of in its long sleep of ages." , If the meaning of the remark being confined to a few centuries, or to the strict line of the canal from the Med iterranean to the Red yea, this may be left to stand as conlect. But the expression is liable to misinterpretation, since it May lead some readers to the idea that Egypt never imagin'ed a connection of the waters of the Red sea with those of the Meditterrancan" by 'egad. The ancient Egyptains actually accomplished that feet, and the • modern Egyptains, within the period of the Mohammedan government, have navigated in the same boat the waters of the Mediterranean, the Nile and the Red sea. The origin of the canal which connected the Nile with the Red sea is somewhat obscure. Ancient writers ascribe it .to different mon archs.' Herodotns, in the Uterpe (clviiL) tells no that Rem, the son of Peammetichus, com menced it, and that Darius, the. Persian, MA' tinned it. He describes its magnitude and length. It would take in two triremes abreast, and its length - was a four days' voyage. Dio dorm gives the same account, adding that Ptolemy II finished the canal, and that it was called the Ptolomman riper from this fact. Herodotns says that in the prosecution of this work under Necos no less than 120,000 Egyp tians perished, showing that Canal digging in ancient times in Egypt was conducted in much the same way as now, with not dissimilar. re sults. Other writers ascribe the canal to Se aostris instead of Pharaoh Nacho. But Sesos trio was to a certain extent a mythical charac ter to foreigners, and they were in the habit of ascribing all great works in Egypt to his genius, and all ancient conquests by Egyptians to his arms. The canal Was kept in use for many centu ries, and though from time to time closed by the sand, was again re-opened and used. The Romans kept it flowing for some time. It again ceased to be navigable, and then was opened by Omar the caliph, who heard that Arabia, the Moslem's holy land, had been saved from famine by supplies of grain brought from , Egypt through this canal, and who ac cordingly as a pious work, re-opened the canal, and from that feet received the title of the "Prince of the Faithful," which became the title of all the caliphs, his successors. A lit tle more than a century later, El Mummer, the caliph who founded Bagdad, closed the canal to prevent its use for the supply of Ali, who was in revolt in Amnia. It bus been said that the crazy caliph El Hakim opened it again about A. D 1000; but this is doubtful, and it may be said to have remained closed since the c l ap o f El m o nsooe, 'When the modern Suez canal was projected, the eubjeet of supplying water to the workmen in the desert presented itself as of paramount importance, and the re opening of the ancient Ptolommart canal for that purpose was manifestly the only feasible method. This is no small work, for the old canal is filled up nearly to the level of the desert in most places. The design of M. Lesseps in cludes, we believe, little more than the open ing of a trench through which a secure flow of water may he expected. both for the use of the laborers and .the OncourngeMODE Of agriculture on the Isthmus. The Nile canal will probably not be navigable except for small boats, and not for them to any great extent. When we consider the peculiar experience of Egypt in canal excavation, we need not be surprised at the accomplishment of this grand work. The modern world has indeed little to boast of in the magnitude of works , of art over the anOient. Egyptians. Canals were their spe ciality. They bad a country perfectly level, which requited irrigation. To accomplish this they needed to dig wattle, which should con vey s the water of the Nile from the bed of the river to the edges of the plain under the desert hills. The river being given to floods and re cessions, the canals must be very deep, so as to allow of the flow of the water at low Nile. Hence they were accustomed to the work of di g ging broad canals, not less than eighteen ~ Q , ,4 , 4 :# 141 ~•;.14 p'T Q. BAIIRETT -00 . .

There is nothing strange in the idea of building vessels on the Bed Sea to go there, if the canal were navigable at that time ; and this supposition may relieve a great difficulty which commentators have found on the subject of the location of the Tarshish of Solomon and the Tarshish • of other writers. We have heretofore referred to Mr. Davis' no tion that Tarshish was Carthage, an idea not without plausibility, but hardly to be accepted as yet.
