SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE—This Day.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—Tots Dar.
The muster was not a large one, but some lively,.
speculation took place. For the Northumberland
Plate Fervaewies remained firm, despite a strong
commission which has been out some days for the
Vixen colt, who to-day was again supported to win
a good stake. Lady Vane would have found Eup-
port at an advance over 5 to 1, which point 'nook-
makers, however, refused to " spring." War was
languidly supported as below, but Mirella to-day
was friendless, and the others quoted were not in
general demand. The Goodwood Stakes was men-
tioned, but except ten " ponies" taken about Lord
St. Vincent's two we heard no actual business done.
Lothario was introduced for the Goodwood Cup,
for which Rama also met support several times at
hundreds to seven. Subjoined is a list of the busi-
ness done.

MAXIMILIAN AND 711 E UNITED STATES.

The following is M. Dupin's speech in the French
Senate with reference to the fate of Maximilian :--
"Messieurs les Senateurs,—The minutes just
read contained the eloquent words which, in the last
sitting, were pronounced by our illustrious President
to express the indignation of the Senate against the
odious crime by which the lives of two Emperors were
threatened. The sentiments expressed by our illus-
trious President were those of the whole of France,
which had reproduced them with admirable unani-
mity. To complete the expression of the noblest
thoughtslet me bepermitted to make known another
heartfelt wish in favour of a third Emperor, brave in
battle, and above all great in misfortune. It will
be worthy of a French Chamber, and especially
the Senate, that wishes full of generosity should
be expressed for the Prince whom the Mexicans, after
our victories, freely chose for their Sovereign, and
whose life is threatened with an insolent disregard
of the laws of war. And here we find two facts which
are a great honour to our soldiers who carried our
eagles to Alexia). Everywhere in that country
they showed their heroism, and in each success
practised clemency after the victory—double
character of France. Alas! in returning to their
mother country, it would seem as if they had
brought back with them all those noble traits of
civilisation, and that not a trace of them remained
in the ungrateful country which they have quitted.
It is necessary at least that in one of the Chambers
of the numerous representative governments of the
old world a word should ba raised to prevent, if
there is still time, a great crime from being com-
mitted by barbarians. Such a crime would be ever-
lasting shame to those who committed it, and
moreover, by a sad contrast, would heighten the
honour of our arms. The United States, I hope,
will do all they can to prevent so great a misfor-
tune, for it is upon America that the responsibility
will fall. Such, Messieurs les Senateurs, are the
sentiments which I do not fear to express, and I
believe I may say that they are shared by the
whole of France, and above all by those generals
who, on the field of battle, have shown the same
valour, and after the victory the most generous
humanity." (Approbation.)
On this the Standard's correspondent remarks as
follows :
" Two passages in M. Dupiu's speech will chal-
lenge general attention. That in which he casts
the responsibility of the execution of Maximilian on
the United States, and that in which he asserts that
the murder of a prisoner in cold blood would, as a
contrast, redound to the honour of French arms.
Now the United States are undoubtedly responsible
so far that, but for their threatening attitude, the
French would not have evacuated Mexico. But
as regards the other allegation, I am sorry to feel
compelled to state that M. Dupla has been grosay
misinformed. The Mexicans are utter savages,
but
they can plead with truth that their comrades have
t
been executed iu cold blood. I know this for a fact
—not, mind you, an isolated instance. This but-
chery occurred repeatedly, and was officially sanc-
tioned by an .order issued under the authority of
Marshal Bazaine before his departure. As to the
direct responsibility of the fate of Maximilian,
whether it devolves ou the French who left him in
the lurch, or on the Yankees whose threats com-
pelledwh hleeaFverecnaeshuitsotslteo ciavdee,tdehi.,s is a nice question,

It was but the otherday—that a Mexican officer
residing in New York--General Sturm--made a
speech denouncing Secretary Se ard for doing all
in his power to aid the Imperialists while pretend-
ing to aid the Liberals. The United States have
only carried out their well-known policy in inter-
fering between France and ➢iexico and leaving the
event to be decided by the people concerned. They
are in no way responsible for the murderous deeds
on either side, which have been nowhere more
strongly condemned than in the United States.
