An animated debate took place in the French Chambers unanimously condemning the act of the assassin on French soil. The Czar departed from Paris on the 11th June, after cordial leave-taking. Napoleon's groom who saved the Czar's life has received the Legion of Honor and £12,000. Political prosecutions in Russia have been quashed, and amnesties have been granted to all excepting criminal offenders. The restrictions issued against Polish priests have been modified. The Italian Chambers have presented a new scheme to convert church property. A late telegram announces that the Emperor Maximilian had been shot. The news caused great excitement in Europe.
