Mr. Woodman applied at the Hoffman house. at about noon on Tuesday. for a letter from Postmaster Cleveland of - Hartford, and seemed disaFdoltited when the clerk said there was none. Having been shown to his room, he sent o dowri for a glass of whisky, and was not again seen alive. At about ho clock on Tues day evening Mrs. Wicker, the .house keeper. heard what she supposed to he the explo sion-. ot an India cracker: she listened, but not hearing a repetition, took no further notice of it.. At about 8 o'clock yesterday Morning a housemaid entered Mr. Woodman's room, and found him seemingly asleep; at noon she again saw him in the same position, and as. at 3 P.

[Correopondence of the Philadelphia 'Evening Bulletin.[ PARIS, Friday, July 5, 1867.—A friend of mine who was stationed' close to the Emperor Napo"- Icon when he received the Sultan at the railway station, on Stinday last, had remarked how parti cularly gay and satisfied he had looked on that oc casion. The same friend was placed on the stairs lending up to the throne in the Palace of In dustry, when the Emperor ascended them on the following day, and his involuntary exclamation was: What can have happened? There is no doubt now as to what was then weighing on the Emperor's mind and countdnance. He had heard the tidings of poor Maximilian's fate just before going to the ceremony of the distribution of prize's, and felt, no . doubt, the full weight and share of his own responsi bility in --the- sad catastrophe. Thus - a - second time have our festivities been rudely broken in upon by a tragic incident. Grand re- VICWB, gala nights at -the opera, the second grand ball at the Hotel de Ville—all that had been pre pared for the honor and amusement of the Sul tan has been laid inside ; ,the court: has gone into mourning, and almost into retirement, for three weeks : and, to say the truth, nay, whole city, the whole country, all Europe, nay, all the world, and `America herself, as represented by her citi zens resident in this place, quite as loudly as any other nationality, -protest by their attitude against the cruel and dastardly act which has -been committed. - With - as ranch good judg,ment as delicacy of feeling and self-denial, the Commit tee of American gentlemen appoifited 'to manage the f,f'te of the celebration or the Fourth of Jnly in the Pi Catalan, at once made the sacrifice of their patriotic and social feelings, and announced that "the public fe'tex ordered by the Govern ment having been countermanded." the American ft -/e would also be postponed. In fact, all, feel - ings and opinions of every description on the subject are laid aside, except those of pity for a bravo and unfortunate gentleman, and condem nation of the hard measure dealt out to him. by his ungenerous enemie-. French-and Americans alike forget—the former the heavy cost in money and blood imposed upon them, against their will, for the Mexican Ex pedition—the latter the Injurious conduct adopted towards-them in their hour of trial--in order to execrate an act of mingled treachery and cruelty. If an American army ware, by a strange inversion of parts. to march to Mexico to nveuge the fate of Maximiliatt, and punish the insolent disregard shown to their own diplomatic action and wishes, it would be accompanied by the acclamations end-good—wishes-of-all -Gbristeadonhether-be ' longing to the Latin or Anglo-Saxon race. The Monitcur of this morning announces the shorking intelligence in strong language. The "Emperor Maximilian," it says,, "has been shot by the wretches Into whose hands he fell." Re fusing to leave with the French army. or de sert those who bad devoted themselves to him, be chose "an almost impregnable posi tion,' whence in case of reverse he could retire by the mountains to the sea." But 'he did not take treachery into account:".a man called Lopez, who had gained his confidence, odiously sold the Em peror while asleep: for a sum of money." The •tssassintition,"theMonitear adds,will excite"uni versal horror," and this "infamous act" of Juarez will "stamp an ineffaceable brand of infamy on those who call themselves the representatives of the Mexican Republic." Alas! that the ill-judged and unjustifiable decree of the sth October, 1865, shouhl in any way retract from the force and jus tice of the above language ! Still, I speak ad visedly when I repeat:as above, that American in tervention would be regarded by all Europe as at once jUstifiable. both as an act of generous indignation and also as essential to the vindica tion of the dignity of the United States Govern ment and people. I have taken considerable pains to ascertain both American and foreign feelings on the subject at this crisis, and I have no hesitation in saying that American opinion feels strongly that it has been grossly insulted by, the utter disregard and contempt shown by Juarez and his crew,for the expressed wishes and, ten2onstrances of their government in this matter. It may even be said that there has been a breach of good faith, for it .would appear that -something like an *assurance was given that Maximilian should not he dealt with before again communicating with the American minis ter. As to foreign opinion. it is unanimous on the point thiit the sooner America intervenes the better. English anti French alike are loud in ex- Claiming: Let an American army march to Mexico and put an end to a state of anarchy. disgraceful to humanity! All jealousy on the question is swept away by the general feeling of disgust and indignation; and a policy which might, at an earlier period, have- -been looked upon with distrust, and have led to unpleasant euruplications. would now be hailed by all - Eu rope as just, generous and dignified. It may be well, fOr the Government at home to reflect seriously whether duty, patriotism and sound : policy may not dictate such a course as I venture to advocate, and which, I can assure them, would no longer be rept : dud with disfavor abroad. while it would.'l should think, be ardently sup ported by the national voice at home. Never, perhaps, was amore propitious, fairer, or more honorable opportunity offered to close at once and'forever a great and delicate question, always looming with danger in the future, and to estab ,lish on an unshakeable basis a great principle. If Mexico once became undeniably American, there would be no more room either for internal troubles respecting-her, nor for European inter vention On the American continent. I had expected to .have been able to send you with, this letter a full official statement of the Prizes awarded to American competitors at the 1 Exhibition. But, up to the moment at which I write, the AmeriennCommissiOn has not published its list, and I must therefore wait for the next opportunity MIMMIU)= PINES it SHEAFF.

In the House of Commons, on the 4th inst., Mr. Sandford asked the t ecretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any Information had been received upon the subject of the alleged ex ecution of the Emperor Maximilian by Juarez; and, if there had, what.course the Government proposed to take in order to mark their abhor rence of so great a crime. [Cheers.] Lord Stanley replied: I have not received any official confirmation of the death of the ex-Em peror Maximilian. Indeed, official despatches from Mexico have of late been very few, owing to the interruption of the communications and the generally disturbed state of the country. find, however,, that the rcpbrt is accepted as true, both at Paris and Vienna, and I fear it probably is so, although I have no.certain•knowledge upon EUROPEAN, LETTER MORI PARIS.

Pleasures Taken by the Austrian Gov. erninent.to Save Maximilian. The Vienna papers oi Jedy 1 contain the fol lowing COMM nnicatiim, understood to be from an official source: _ - "It may be of interest to leach the steps al ready taken mouths ago by the Austrian Govern ment to avert this terrible catastrophe. Upon the withdrawal of the French troops, the Empe ror of Austria starting-from the idea that theEmp.e- Jor_ _Maximilian • would- leave Mexico at the same time as Marshal Bizaine, thought it adVisable to take the question into consideration whether the Emperor Maxi milian's return should not be facilitated by: re storing to him all his rights as next Agnate, which he had renounced before leaving for Mexi co. The reason for no further action being then taken in the^ matter—independealy of the' fact that other legitimately acquired hts demanding close examination were at stake—was that 'the Emperor Maximilian remained in Mexico and continued the content with the native forces at his disposal. When the news of his capture .arrived here everything was done to bring about a diplomatic intervention of collective Europe in his favor. The Austrian Ambassador in Washington had been .previously empowered to apply to the Government of the North American Republic, re questing its active diplomatic intervention, in care of any danger threatening the Emperor. It is known that Mr. Seward complied with this request, and the American Government even, at that time, Made a 7g,na fide application to Juarez in this sense. When the capitnlatioia of the Emperor Maximilian became known, France, England, Russia and Prussia were asked to in struet their Ambassadors in Washington to unite their efforts with those of the Austrian Ambassa dor in saving the Emperor Maximilian. All the . CiWitTli.took_steps-inorisequenee-of—this-desire, Queen Victoria adding 'that it wail a question of saving the life of a near and dear relation." . One.hope still remained when we learned here. the grounds upon which Romero, the ambassa dor of Juarez at Washington, sought to , justify severity against the Emperor. These were mainly based upon the asspmptions that the Em peror Maximilian would always remain a claimant, constantly prove a rallying point for all the unquiet spirits in Mexico, and thus keep the country in continual excitement. • It was, there fore, at once resolved at a council of the Imperial family to restore the Emperor Maximilian to all his rights as next Agnate, to obtain from him the fullest renunciation of his claims as Emperor° of Mexico, and to afford the necessary guarantees ' for this renunciation being carried out. A tele gram to this effect was sent to the Austrian Am bassador at Washington' Seward again slain - tall himself inclined to active support, but, according to the latest intelligence, it seems unhappily - to have proved ineffectual. The question of ransom was never raised. The Austrian Court was perfectly willing to have paid ransom. But the utmost caution was necessary, In order not to raise Jlie. idea of interference with the proceed ings of the Court-martial, and thus perhaps dis advantageously influence the fate of the Emperor Maximilian. The last consideration also operated when the question arose whether a confidential agent should be sent to Juarez. The idea was abandoned, because, apart from the bad effect - that might thus have been exerted upon the fate of the Emperor, Juarez would also have been compromised in case of discovery."

From the - Monde. _ _ _ that the fate 16 - certain, _we feel bound to say that before leaving for Quere taro, that monarch intrusted to sure hands certain papers which will throw light on the causes that produced the fall of the Empire during the last period of its existence. For ourselves, we are more than ever convinced that the balls which struck the Emperor-have, at the same time, destroyed the independence of Mexico, that focus of anarchy which will be soon absorbed in the great American Union. MEMEIIit! That fatal and deplorable event cannot fail to move all Europe as it has already revolted public opinion in France. The echoes no longer repeat the names of the laureates of industry, but they murmur these fatal words, "The Emperor Maxi milian is shot!" Those words resound painfully in the heart of France. That will be a sombre page in French history which shall relate the an nals of the ephemeral; reign of Maximilian 1. From Lu Libcrtd, .flity- 4. The order published in the Jfonilrur this morn ing,. countermanding the review which was to have taken place to-day in the Champs Elysee, leaves no room for doubt as to the death of Mail millan. It may be that the death-sentence of the Archduke, and the - rigorous enforcement of the same, are in retaliation of the decree of Oct._ 3, 1865;in pursuance of which Arteaga i Salazar and others.were tried and executed,.but in any event, the death of Maximilian has made this a day of sorrow. The consternation is general and pro found. It may be that the sentence is not.a crime, but it surely is an error. From the Journal des Debate, July 4 Whatever the details may be, they will scarcely add anything to the grief and indignation which have tilled every generous heart in Europe. La France exclaims, "After this, at least we hope there will be no Juarists In France." No, there will not be any, and there never have been any that we know of. There have been Frenchmen who approVed of the departure of the Archduke Maximilian to Mexico, and Fretfehmen who dis approved of it. Would to heaven this unfortu nate Prince had followed the advice of those who warned him against an enterprise in which tri umph was without glory, and defeat was sure to end in horrible disaster. From the Memorial Diplomatique, July 31. It is unfortunately quite true that two official despatches have been received at Vienna, an nouncing that the Emperor was shot on the 19th of June by order of the Junrist Government. This, intelligence will cause a painful, emotion iu Europe, where courage and- gallantry are duly appre ciated. The death of-Maximilian brands his ene mies with an indelible mark of Infamy. The laws of war,. especially- when applied to those who fall victims of the most odious treason, htiVe no longer tiny of those rigors among civilized na tions, and there will be but one voice in he whole world to stigmatize the base outrage which has just terminated the drama at Quere taro. - The French Senate to Derrado ,the 'Mexican Traitor Lopez• [From La Marti% July 4.] We are informed that a motion will be made to degrade Gen.

Presented by the Republican Minister of War. (From la Sombra de Zaragozoa, San Luia Potosi, June 10.1 Minister of Ira,- and Of the Nary, First !Nei sion, to Gen. Mariano kienbedo,:in Conantand of the Army if the North: When the city of Quere taro was captured, I communicated to you the in telligence that eight thousand soldiers and til ward of four thousand chiefs and officials of the enemy, including Maximilian •of Hapsburg, who had called - himself Emperor of Mexico, had been taken prisoners.. Before arriving at any determination in reference to the dispo sition to be made of these men, the Govern ment desired to deliberate with-the calmness be fitting the importance of the circumstances. The authorities of the Republic have-not heeded the feelings with which a prolonged struggle might have inspired them, wishing only to hearken to the Voice of their high duties, and to that of the Mexican people. The Government has taken into consideration not only the justice with which the laws might be enforced, but the neces sity for their enforcement. It has sought to de termine how far clemency and magnanimity should be carried, ana within what limits they were confined by justice and the strict necessity of insuring the peace, protecting the legitimate interests and promoting- the right& and future progress of the Republic. Alter Mexico had suffered all the evils of a civil war of fifty years duration—when the people had at length obtained that the constitution and laws of the country be respected—when they had repressed and conquered the corrupt classes, who, to satisfy their private interests, sacrificed _ s ill-intereats-and-stil-imeittl 7 -rigiitswhetr peace and tranquillity were being born anew by the will of the nation and the impotence of those who sought to reduce them to aubmiSeion, then the Most. degenerate of the conquered classes called upon the foreigner, hoping, with his aid, to Satisfy * their cupidity and their thirst for ven geance. They availed themselves of the ambi tion and lack of intelligence of a foreign monarch, and brought into the republic both foreign intervention and treason, each bound to the other by the bonds of iniquity. - The Archduke Fernando Maximilian, of Haps burg: allowed himself to be used as the principal tool - in that work of wickedness which has af flicted the Republic for five years with crimes and:calamities of every description. He came to oppress a people, intending to de stroy their Constitution and laws, without any more - rights - warranting 'such action than were conferred on him by a few valueless votes,— r valueless because expressed under the pressure of a foreign Power, and at the menace of foreign bayonets. He came- to commit voluntarily the crimes reproved by the code of nations, and for which punishment is provided by the different prei;xisting laws of the Republic—expressly by the law dated Jan. 25; 1862, and framed to define the deeds committed against the independence and safety of the nation, the rights of citizens, individual guarantees and the public peace. The crimes committed by the Emperor Maxi lin ha n include the greater number of those specs fled in the aforesaiiilaw. He not only allowed himself to be used as the tool offforeign intervention, but, for the purpose of waging a filibustering war, enlisted in his armies other foreigners, Austrians and Belgians, subjects of nations that were not at enmity with the Republic. He attempted to overthrow forever the political institutions and the Government which the nation, of its own free Will, established, and grasped the supreme power, without greater claim to it than that which he was acknowledged to possess by the votes of a few persons named and delegated by the foreign invader, or reduced to submission by the presence and threats of his troops. He dispoted. by the sole right of might, and with no legitiinate endorsement for. his actions, of the lives, privileges and interests of the Mexi cans.- • He issued a decree, writ2i in a barbarous spirit, commanding the assassination of Mexicans who were defending the independence and insti tutions of their country. ' There took place numerous bloody executions in pursuance of the same barbarous decree, the first victims of which were distinguished Mexican patriots. These executions took place even be fore it could be conjectured that such a decree had been promulgated. He ordered that his own soldiers, or consented, bearing falsely the title of the chief of the nation, that the soldiers of the foreign invader should fire end destroy many cities scattered throughout the Mexican territory, and situated mostly in the States of Michoacan, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Coa huila andAslew Leon. . Be conimanded that' his - 'own:agent, or con sented that the,agents of the foreigners, should assassinate thousands of Mexicana, whose sole crime It was that they had defended their country. And when the armies of the foreigner with drew, and he saw the whole Republic rising against him, he surrounded himself with some of the most guilty participants In the civil war, and employed violence and depredation of all kinds to sustain to the last moment his false title, of which he did not divest himself until, involun tarily, and-in submission to force, he was com pelled to yield it up. Among those men who sought to sustain Maxinithan•until the last moments, and to ex haust all acts of treason that could be committed agaimit one's country, figured, ranking with the principal insurgent chiefs, Don Miguel Miramon and Don'Tomas Melia ' who occupied, at Quere taro, important positions as commanders in Maximilian's army. Both these men had already incurred severe punishment by having keptalive for many , years civil war. They hesitated not to commit the most culpable.acts, and have ever, in fact, been an obstacle to the peace of the Repub lic, as well as a constant threat overhanging bee_ institutions. The twenty-eighth article of the aforesaid law provides punishment for the guilty. The penal ties it enumerates apply . to the 'culprits captured iri flegrante delictu, bearing arms in a combat, the prisoners being subsequently duly identified. - In the present case, till circumstances concurring to establish the guilt of the captives, the-notoriety of their acts will suffice to allow the application of the foregoing section of the law. Still, the Government, wishing to act in the mostjustifiable manner in the matter, is act_ that the proceedings iu the case may come under the law.abbve cited, so that the picas of defence which may be oared. by the accused persons, and the sentence to bepronouncedlereafter, ae cord with its spit.

The Pretender was not executed on Tower Hall r for he was not caught; but the English and Scotch ,noblemen who were convicted of complicity in his cause, suffered the death of traitors. The Bourbons did not shoot Napoleon when he brokeinto France in 1815, because he contrived to find refuge on board the Bellerophon; but they shot Ney, "the bravest of the brave," like any dog, despite of cries and groans of shame; and the representative of Eng land at Paris thought it his dnty not to interfere, for which England never blamed him. The Neapolitan Bourbons, whom by troops and armies we twice put back upon their forfeited throne, tried by court-martial and shot their rival Murat, who had governed the country prosperously and in peace, and with genuine approval, during several years. and Whose solirOffence consisted in his trying to oust them' and take his place again. The great Napoleon's memory is laden with the reproach of seizing the , heir of C r onde dragging him across the border, and having him shot in the ditch of Vincennes for plotting the overthrow of his dynasty.

Boehm, alcohol distiller and rectifier, and in less than ten minutes from' the time the fire first made its appearance the whole of both build ings were enveloped ln. flames— The'contents of the premises being spirits and alcohol there was but little smoke; the heat, however, 'was in tense, and the surrounding buildings stood in imminent danger. The firemen, however, worked with energy, and prevented the spread otthe fire on Twenty-sixth , street - Three houses on the rear of Twenty-fifth street were almost totally destroyed. The building containing the rectifying estab nehmen t and the bonded warehouse goods was, in fact, one building, and was formerly used as a pork-packing house by Mr. Rutherford, who built it for that purpose. It was of three stories, brick, extending some one hundred and twenty five feet on Twenty-sixth street, and about one hundred feet deep. The bonded warehouse oc cupied two numbers,the communications between the two premises being doorways, boarded tip. The whole of the building is now one mass of ruins, and the loss is estimated at about $70,000, of which there is about one-half insured. The stock of alcohols and whisky,including the machinery and fixtures of the rectifying establish ment of Isaac Boehm;is estimated at about $300,- 000, on which there is $BO,OOO insurance. The bonded warehouse is said to have contained a large amount of whisky, to the value of upwards of $200,000; about one-half of it is said to be insured. There was a rumor that this whisky was under government seizure, and in the hands of detectives. On Twenty-fifth_street,_No-161, a two-story frame house, was destroyed; in the rear of N 0.163 some sheds were also destroyed; rear of No. 165 a three-story brick house, the interior of which was pretty much burnt out; No. 167 (rear), a three-story brick dwelling was pretty well burnt out. The origin of thellre is at present a mystery. We understand that the fire was first seen in the bonded warehouse. -Now the fire should be there at that time of night is a still further mysterious matter. The Fire Marshal has the case under in vestigation. Captain Cameron, of the Eigh teenth precinct, attended the fire and kept excel lent order. A Prophecy in Punch. The purchase of Russian America by the United States was foretold in Punch in the year 1854, as appears by the following communication to the Boston Advertiser : In looking over the volume of Littell's Living Age for 1851, I found in the number for October 21, a humorous article from Punch, entitled "A Scene from the Russian Gent," in which appear as characters the Czar, the Grand Duke Con stantine, the Grand uchess Marie, and a Dr. Cottman from thellnited States. The following dialogue forms a part of the scene, immediately after the Grand Duchess and Dr. Wan= have imbibed through straws a genuine Yankee sherry cobbler : "Oiund Duch. GO along with you!
