gestion from the French Government that the acceptance of the Mexican throne would, in the course of events, give its Emperor an opportunity to revenge the wanton insult to Austria's naval flag. Maximilian is said to have been captivated by the idea and the train of reflections it involved, and to have made the remark: "We will yet be even with the braggart nation" My informant is likely to be well informed, and, I must say, it would indeed be strange if, eventually, Austria would in this round about way take up the gauntlet years ago thrown down to her. I am also informed that Secretary Seward has indicated to the Austrian Government that Lincoln's administration does not hold to the position then assumed by the Webster-Hulseman letter, and that persons having only their first papers will not hereafter be regarded as citizens of the United States. I doubt whether this declaration has been given by Seward in the formal manner which would appease the offended pride of Austria.
