Paris letter, Of the Cd instant, says:
IN the course OF Sunday night the Empe-

the news was unfortunately too true. The

indeed his heart must have been as he pass
ed up the giled 'Trianon carriage through
the files of troops and the masses Of spec
tators that lined the causeway from the
Tulleries to the Champs Eysees. He had
then spoken Of the catastrophe to no one
but the Empress. But in the building he
told Prince de Mettcrnich Of the oommani-
cation he had received, and the latter, to
whom It Was probably no surprise, inform
ed the Count and Countess Of Flanders.
they were III their places at the fete, but
went away before it was over, in coDse-
quence Of the sad intelligence. They caus-
ed a mass to be said at Notre Dame for
haximiiian's soul IN the course Of the after
noon. The Sultan was the first to propose
that the fetes planned in his honor should
be codntermanded Count and Countess Of
Flanders had come to Paris expressly to
witness the distribution Of prizes. They
have gone back to Belgium overwhelmed
with grief. The Count Of Flanders is the

THE NEWS IN AUSTRIA
The news of Maximilian's execution
came upon the inhabitants Of Vienna and
Austria, by whom Macmillan was greatly
beloved, like a thunderstroke. At first the
people refused to believe it, but the publ
cation Of the government dispatches depriy-
ed them of all hope. ''Ihe Empire of
Mexico has fallen" says the Vienna Press
''the Empress Charlotte is mad, and Max
imilian has been shot. Why did he not
listen to the advice rendered to him by the
unanimous voice Of public opinions in Aus
leo ?"
The Vienna journals, in speaking fthe
death of the Emperor Mayimilian, display
great hostility towards the Cabinet Of the
Tuileries. They say 1t is responsible for
all the misfortunes which have belallen the
House Of Hapsburg.
The VIENNA Gazette has an official com
munication which, after showing the steps
taken by Austria to save the LIE of Maxi
milan. adds:
"When the news Of his capture arrived
here every effort was made to procure the
diplomatic intervention Of al Europe in his
favor. The ambassador of Austria at
Washington had previously received the
mission to appeal to the United States for
their intervention and diplomatic action in
case any danger should menace the Empe-
ror. AS is known, Mr.. Seward yielded to
this application and employed his good Off
ces in this view with Juarez When the
capitulation Of the Emperor Maximilian
was known, France, England, Russia and
Prussia charged their ambassadors at
Washington to join their efforts to those of
the Austrian representative, and endeaeor
to save the Emperor's life All the powers
occupied themselves with the matter, and
Queen Victoria, in particular, added that
it was question Of saving the life Of a
near relative who was dear to her.
"a moment Of hope was still offered
Wnen the reasons NnlCn romero, the rep
resentative of Juarez at Washington, used
to justify the rigorous measures taken
against the captive, were known Those
were based essentially on the consideration
that the Emperor Maxlmllian would remain
always pretender; that he would contin-
lie to assemble around him the turbulent
personagcs Of Mexico, and consequently to
maintain the country in permanent state
of agitation. Then it wasat once resolved
in council Of the Austrian imperial fani-
ly that the EMPEROR Macmillan should re-
enter on all his rights as an Austrian arch
duke, and that effort should be made ts OBJ
tain from him the most complete renGncia-
ton of his rights as Emperor Ct Mexico,
and to furnish the necessary guarantees for
the accomplishment cad execution ofthat
remuneration Instructions to this effect
were sent by telegraph to the Austrian
Ambassador at Washington. Mr.. Seward
