The Archduke Maximilian is really going to Mexico. He has

stayed in Paris, and visited England to pay his farewell respects to the King of the Belgians and the British Court. , He will, it is imagined, sail in April, and amidst a wilderness of rumours these appear trustworthy. The French army will be withdrawn in twelve months, the new Emperor will have the command of a foreign legion of 12,000 men, which legion will be officered prin- cipally by Frenchmen, and a loan large enough to reimburse France part of her expenses and make some composition with the British creditors will be raised at once. All active resistance has ceased in Mexico, and the Washington Cabinet makes no sign.
