From he London Post, JTitly8
The act of Juarez was one of inhuman aud
savage revenge. II was committed of mere
brutality and with merely pretense of being
necessary for the public safety. In retur ming
verdict on the whole occurrences as they are
before us we, may safely say the execution OF
Maximllian was glaring crime before heaven
and men; and that to justify 1t by the counter
accusation brought against htm--at first sight
the IN S %
those oil deliberate and premeditated ven
geance.
From The London Times, Jttly6. -..
The good feeling and the common
sense OF the world Will reject the excuses which
the new governors OF Mexico will probably
least express their opinion Of il in the reception
they give TO whatever persons Juarez may
think ht to send TO them as his represent tatives.
The feeling excited Will not be confined to the
Old World. We know not how the Govern
ment at Washington exerted itself to save the
Archduke; but II the American press represents
the opinion of its readers, there has existed
among Americans a profound sympathy for
the fallen Austrian, and desire that he
should be allowed 10 depart from the country
In safety. The feeling of the Americans in
Paris, always among the most educated and
refined OF their couiitrymen has been shown
by their determination to abandon or
defer the celebration of the anniversary of inde-
TO them since their political sympathies are, OF
course, with the cause OF Juarez, whose autho.
rtty the United States have ever recognized,
and to whom the American people have given
important material assistance; the Texan from
tier having been, in fact, the Liberal base of
operations and the quarter from which .Juarez
and his party received supplies of'every sort.
There is general consent that this has been
cruel and dastaTdly act, and such feeling will
only be deepened by time. We cannot but
believe that after so many years of anarchy
evildoing is well nigh full, and that the time
approaches when the land must be possessed
by an abler, nober, and better race.
The EffeCt ON the Paris ExhtbitIon.
A Paris letter of the 5th Of July in the London
Ne1Os says:-The dullness which overspreads
the Exhibition will not pass away for many
days The court has gone into mourning, the
feteS are couDtermanded. the Emperor is In re-
tirement, and mems minds are perplexed with
their dreams about the future. The death of
Macmillan and the very depressed state ex-
listing, they declare is death blow to the Ex-
exhibitors, who have been doing a heavy
trade with the majesties, exoellencies,
graces, and lordships VINO have been crowd
may be housed again at Versailles. The flags
may be folded; the pyrotechnic artists may pack
up their red and blue fire. The last of the sove-
reigns has come and soon there will remain
in Paris only Napoleon the Third, in no mood
for triumphal arches nor brilliant effect, with
the ghost of MaXtmilian AT his elbow, Most OF
the shopkeepers have been doing a brisk busi-
ness. 1t is now the turn of the Maison de Deuil.
The only sovereign In mems minds is the
miserable widow at Miramar. The coming of
Sultan and Emperor is postponed, and yester-
day nights regatta was but a fat'affair
Secretary Stewards Responsibility in
Mexico.
From the London Herald, July 2.
After Maximilian. the duty of restor-
ing some principle OF government In Mexico
devolves necessarily upon those who have pre-
vented the establishment of the empire. The
influence OF the United States Government has
been exercised directly and openly In behalf OF
what is called the Mexican Liberal party.
JuareE, the successor of Macmillan, has at
tanned his position, 1t may be said, mainly
through the countenance of Mr. Seward. For
his acts the world will henceforth hold the
American Government responsible. We have
been told that an imperial dynasty was bar
barous and antiquated invention for Mexico,
and those who prophesied MaXimilian's failure
have been very busy in ensuring the credit OF
their prediction. Let us see how much better
Mexico win be governed by the creature of Mr..
Seward and by the native Liberal party which
America has preferred.
