ror of Austria having been informed by
telegraph of the capitulation ofhis brothers
army, instructed his Minister here to re-
new the request before made to this govern

in behalf of Macmillan. An interview
occurred on the 29th of May between Mr..
Seward and Count Wynderboack, in which
he manifested his readiness to comply with
the wishes of the Austrian Count, and re-
solved at once to empower Mr.. Campbell
with the mission. In the course of the fol-
lowing day the Russian, English and
French Ministers received sGccessiyely
from their governments telegraphic instruc-
tions to apply to the Secretary of State,
requesting the United States government
to exert itsigrand Office once more to save
the life of Maximilian. These gentlemen

them with great zeal and ability, and re-
ceived from Mr.. Seward assurances that all
should be done that was possible to secure
the object desired.
