MAXIMILIAI4 and approving of his execution ! We
could not have looked for any exhibition of kindly
or magnanimous feeling in such quarters, but a little
respect to common propriety might have been
shown. The Washington Government is said to be
in favour of intervention in Mexico, and numerous
filibustering expeditions are organising in New
York and other cities, which it is not thought likely
will be interfered with. The beginning of the end
of Mexican self-goverment is at hand, in spite of the
temporary triumph of the JUAREZ faction.

tious. A Madrid piper states that in 1864, when
Maximilian unfortunately accepted the throne of
Mexico, verses were in circulation at Trieste to the
following effect :—" Maximilian, do not put confi-
dence in the Mexicans. The worm-eaten throne of
Montezuma is like a Gallic cup overflowing with
froth. Who forgets the timeo Danaos ? Under the
purple the rope i 6; found."

There was a Cabinet Council this afternoon at
the Tuileries, at which the Emperor pre.sided.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, July 24 (Evening).

The Italia of this evening says Signor Rattazzi
was present at the last sitting of the committee on
the bill for the suppression of the forced paper cur-
rency. He declared that the Government would be
enabled to withdraw the forced paper currency if
the Chamber would grant them the 600,000,000
lire they had demanded, and which they proposed
should be raised in the form of an extraordinary
tax on the ecclesiastical property. The committee is
disposed to propose an additional clause to the
bill, stipulating that the withdrawal of the forced
currency shall be expected on the Ist of July,
1868. The Government will, however, be allowed
a few months' latitude, in order to facilitate the
operation, and to provide by other means for the
wants of the Treasury.

BERLIN, July 25.

The reply of the Danish Government to the last
Prussian Note upon the North Schleswig questio❑
is to the following effect

villages of Comitandes and Nipero, the defile situated
between those two villages, the defile and the vil-
lages of Askifo, Prosnero, Alicombos, all the villages
of the Eastern part of Sphakia, and lastly, the
whole district of Sphakia, excepting eight villages
which will easily be reduced, are now in the hands
of the Imperial troops. 'lhe only resource left to
the insurgents is to take refuge in the rocky and
narrow valleys of the, village of Samaria, where
they can only remain a fe.w days, after which there
will be nothing left to them but submission. The
insurgents who had taken refuge in two caverns at
Pachtanos and Capsodusso submitted to-day to the
number of 250 men and women, amoegst whom
were Captain A nagonsti Papadaki, a member of the
so-called provisional Government, Captain Manosdi,
and several other chiefs. Their lives and the pro-
perty which they had placed in the caverns have
been and will be religiously respected. Up to the
present 47 barrels of gunpowder and 25 cases of
other ammunition have been discovered there. The
third division have also effected their junction with
the principal corps at Calikratie. The number of
muskets sent to the authorities amounts to 6,000.
The Ferik Ali Beni Pasha has subdued the district
of Kissano. Colonel Mustapha Bey has just cut to
pieces 'the 400 Hellenic volunteers lately disem-
barked iu the island, together with their commander,
Captain Mietto, and two Greek officers. He also
captured 3,000 tins of biscuits, 400 overcoats, and
1,200 rifles."
