No authentic news has yet arrived rs TO
tho disposition Of tho body Of NIaximilian
VOICE FROM TIE FRENCH SENATE.
At recent sitting Of the Fyenoh Senate,
Baron Dupin asked to be allowed again to
| express his concurrence IN tho eloquent
lanGu0gc which the illustrions PRESIDENT of
the Senate had given utterancc to- in tho
proceeding sitting, and by which he 50 we'll
expressed the sentiments Of the Senate and
| France on tho occasion Of tho danger to
| which two Empcrors had been exposed, one
being The Emperor of tho French. But he
desired that, 10 the expression Of these scn-
timonts, should DO united the synpathcs of
France for third Emperor, who also knows
how 10 face death with inbripidity, and
whose life is at this moment threatened by
armed bands. 1t is N great honor, contn,l-
| ell iho honorable Senator, for our soldiers
who went to Moxico to havo CARRIED with
them only hcr0ism, clemoncy after victory,
and every generous and civilizing idea. But
ii would seem that in returning to their ma
tive country they have brought away every
virtue, and that after them remains nothing
to mark y country Of civilization. 1t is of
Importance That from our higher chamber a

that great crime should not be pcrpctra-
ted, which would be nn mdcliblo stigma on
tho barbarians who might commit it, IIopo
must DO entertained that the voico Of hu-
manty will bo powerful TO prevent it, Let
us trust that the United Statos will strive
to the last to prevent misfortune like this;
because it is upon that Government above
ALL that the responsibility of it would rest
such arc tho sentiments which desire to
express in tho Scualc. They aro those of
Franco, and will, most certainly, find q pow
c:lul echo within these walls, where so
many generals who have not acquired moro
lustrc by their yalor in battle than by their
sentiments Of humanity afor victory

eliaron Dupin. "Not only does the Chamber
share his emotion, but nil Franco feels rs
he does" The whole world knows sufli

doubt on tho subject being entertained.
