mAxrmiLrAN,s DEATH IN ENGLAND.

That lie hau received no oHlCiui lni"iih"'i
of the report of the execution OF the Empe-
ror Maximilian, but he found that the report
was accepted as true, both at Paris ana
Vienna, and he feared ii was true. lfit was
true it was a deplorable and impolitie act,
| but he did not see what special notice the
House could take of it.
! Sir l.. Palk observed that no act so dis
graceful had ever been committed as that
they were now called upon TO consider.
Macmillan did not go to Mexico as tyrant,
but TO establish order and tranquility, aud
lie hoped that the House would express its
adherence of this crime, and gave notice |
that when the official intelligence came, he |
would move Il resolution on the subject.
The Grand Review, which was to have |
taken place on Friday, the 9th Of July, was
postponed on account of the execution of
the Queens cousin, and the State Ball, which
had been sometime announced TO be given
at Buckingham Palace, was also deferred.
The lady of the Chancellor of the Exche-
qucr withdrew the invitations which had
been issued for large morning party ON the
5th, as did also Miss Burdett Coutts for a
similar gathering on the 9th.
The Times says that although we had no
share in the policy which has come TO such
disastrous end, although the success of the
scheme for turning Mexico from Republic
into an Empire was doubted even by those
who desired to see the anarchy of the country
abated, yet there will be as sincere regret
here for the fate of the misguided Archduke
as there is among the French, on whose
honor his execution inilcts a stain, or among
the Austrians, where he is remembered with
esteem and affection. Deliberately, and in
obedience TO the detestible policy of the
country, the life OF the Archduke has been
taken, and another and crowning crime
added to the blood.stained annals of Mexico.
The savage spirit which distinguishes the
Spaniards of either hemisphere, and which
10 is intensified in the New World by an iniu-
sion of the blood of the relentless Indian
TX and the barbarous Negro, has been displayed
ms in the moment of his final victory by the
ty President, Juarez. Never since the period

en- seven years ago, amid the anarchy of ole
