It is said that Maximilian is tired of having the French red continually held over him. He is said to manifest a complete indifference regarding the dilapidated condition of the Imperial finances. It is thought he hopes to soon overcome the difficulty by establishing a comparative peace, and iniiucing foreign immigration, thus developing the great foreign wealth ofthe country; and he is said to be anxious for American settlers, who will .bring, as well as there own skill, -ingenuity and industry, their modern invention and machinery. The Imperialists are represented as being very much surprised to learn of the apprehensions in Washington that Maximilian has intended re-establishing slavery as they are inclined to regard him as possessing large ideas of liberty.
