Seward Blamed for his Mild Measures.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The excitement rela-
tive TO the declared execution of Maximiliar
has been most intense here the whole day. The
general feeling is one of profound regret both
for Mexican statesmen ana Maximllian. Much
bitterness seems to be felt against Secretary
Seward, who is now blamed for not writing
more peremptory letter to the Mexican Gov
ernment, demanding, not begging, that the life
of the ex. Emperor should be spared
1t is said here that Secretary Stanton has ex-
pressed himself very strongly on the subject in
private conversations, and has not hesitated to
condemn Stewards course. Minister Campbell
Is also believed to be of the same opinion, and
1s said to have been surprised at the moderate
tone of Mr.. Stewards dispatches. He (Mr
CampbelD made his own letter to the Mexican
Government much stronger than Secretary
Stewards tame suggestions justified.

French Government TO the United States as

informed Secretary Seward that Macmillan
had proposed to leave Mexico provided that
Juarez would convene the Constitutional
Assembly for the election of q President of the
