ENGLAND on THE SAD REALITY
From the London Post, July ST
The act Of Juarez was one Of iuhunm
and savage revenge TWAS committed ii
mere brutality and with merely d preteues
OF being necessary for the public safety.
In returning verdict on the whole Occur.
rences as they are before US VIC may safely
say the execution Of Maximilian WAS
glaring crime before heaven and men and
that to justify it by the counter accusation
brought against him--at first sight specious
but in reality deceptive-is to compound
the operations Of intended justice with
those Of deliberate and premeditated ven.
geance.

$50 The good feeling and the common
sense Of the world will reject the excuses
which the new governors Of Mexico will
probably make for this crime. European
States con at least express their opinion Of
it as the reception they given to Whatever
persons Juarez may think fit to send to
them as his representatives. The feeling
excited will not be confined TO the Old
World. We know not how the Govern.
ment Of Washington exerted itself to save
the Archduke; but IL the American press
represents the opinion Of its readers, There
has existed among Americans profound
sympathy for the fallen Austrian, and
desire that he should be allowed to depart
from the country in safety. The feeling Of
the Americans in Paris, always among the
most educated and refined Of their country
men, has been shown by their Determine
ton to abandon or defer the celebration Of
the anniversary Of independence. Such an
act is the more creditable OF them since
their political sympathies are Of course
with the cause Of Juarez, whose authority
the United States have ever recognized,
and to whom the American people have
given important material assistance the
Texas frontier having been, in fact, the
Liberal base Of operations, and the quatter
from which Jaarez and bis party received
supplies Of every sort. There 10 o general
consent that this has bsen cruel and dss-
tardly act, and such q feeling will only b
deepened By time. Wecannot but believe
That after 90 many years Of anarchy and
political vengeance the cup Of Mexican evil
doing is we'll nigh full, and that the time
approaches when the land must be possess.

THE EFFECT on THE Exhibition.
A Paris letter, Of the 5th Of July, in The
London News, says: The dizziness which
oyerspread the exhibition will not pass away
for many days. The court has gone into
mourning, the fstes are countermanded,
the Emperor is in retirement, and mems
minds are perplexed with their dreams
about the immediate future. The death
OF Macmillan and the very depressed state
existing, they declare. is q death blow to
exhibition. The last Of the soyereigns
have come, and soon there will remain Il
Paris only Napoleon the third, in no mood
for triumphant arches nor brilliant effect
with the ghost of Macmillan at his elbow
/ It is nov the turn of the Maison de Deuil.
The only sovereign in mems minds ia the
widow at Miramar.
SECRETARY gEwAkD's RESPONSIBILITY.
From the London Herald July q.
49, After Macmillan, the duty Of ~.
storing some principle Of government h
Mexico deyolves necessarily upon those
who have prevented the establishment ol
the empire. The influence ofthe United
| States Government has been exercised d.
rectly and openly in behalf Of what is called
/ the Mexican Hberal party. Juares The
successor Of Macmillan has attained biz
position, it may be said, mainly through
| the countenance Of Mr.. Seward. For hl
lacts the world will henceforth hold The
| American Government responsible. We
have been told that al imperial dynasty
Il was barbarous ahd antiquated invention
l for Mexico, and those who prophesied Max
imilian's failure have been very Busy in ID
suring the credit Of their prediction. Lei
I us see how much better Mexico will b
governed by the creature Of Mi. Seward and
By the native Liberal party which Ainerc'
has preferred.
