FRANCS.

PARIS, JeLY 5.

At the sitting of the Legislati re Body to-day the
President announced that the Emperor Maximi-
lian had fallen a victim to a detestable attack. He
desired loudly to bear testimony to the reproba-
tion of the chamber at such a disgrace to honour
and civilisation. ThePreaident's remarks were re-
ceived with loud cheers. The Patric says that
after the surrender of Mexico the French minister
left the city. He had arrived at Vera Cruz, where
he would embark, after having handed over the
care of the French residents in Mexico to the pro-
tection of a foreign flag. The Sultan will leave for
England on the 10th inst.

PARIS, Jon' 5, EvwxG.

To-day, in the Senate, the President, referring
to the execution of the Emperor Maximilian,
said:—"A horrible crime has been committed
against the laws of war, international right, and
i humanity. The blood of Maximilian will cling to
those by whom it has been shed. Let us protest
against this abominable outrage against the
civilisation of our times, and let us attach our-
selves still more closely to those generous and
liberal principles which led us to consider such an
act impossible." The President's words were re-
ceived with prolonged marks of approbation. The
Viceroy of Egypt leaves for London this evening.
In consequence of the death of the Emperor Maxi-
milian the American residents in Paris counter-
manded the fête at the Pri-Catellan, which they
intended to have held yesterday in celebration of
the anniversary of American independence, and
gave instead a banquet at the Grand Hotel. Two
hundred and fifty guests were present, and toasts
were drunk to President Johnson, the Emperor
Napoleon, and France.

THE DEATH OF MAXIMILIAN.

The Monitenr of yesterday writes as follows with
respect to this event :

The news which had been in circulation for the lust
few days, and which had aroused profound indignation in
every heart, has officially arrived from America. The
Emperor Maximilian was shot on the 13th June, by order
of J mires, by the wretchee(les miseratdes) into whose hands
he had fallen. This unfortunate prince, who four years ago
was recognised as the legitimate sovereign of Mexico
by all the powers of Europe, did not wish to leave that
country after the departure of the French army. Not-
withstanding the peril of the undertaking he felt bound
in honour to make a final effort to save those who had
attached themselves to his person and devoted themselves
to his cause. Courageously placing himself at the head
of his partisans he had assembled a somewhat large army.
He found himself at thteretaro in a position almost im-
pregnable ; even in ca.ar of defeat he could fall back
' with his troops by the mountains towards the
sea. But he did not count upon treason. A
man (us homnie) of the name of Lopez, who bad suc-
ceeded in gaining his confidence, odiously betrayed the
Emperor during his sleep for a sum of money. The as-
sassination of the Emperor Maximilian will arouse a
universal sentiment of horror. This infamous act, ordered
by Juarez, imprints an indelible stain upon the brow of
the men who call themselves the representatives of the
Mexican republic ; the reprobation of every civilised
nation will be the first punishment of a government which
has such a ruler at its head.
