RUSSIA AND POLAND.

The Nord of to-day says :—" It appears
from our private letters that the demand for an
armistice addressed to the Russian government has
been so much softened that it may be regarded as
nearly abandoned. On the other hand, a confer-
ence is still insisted upon. This demand might
have been conceded without inconvenience had it
been made at the outset ; but, after the injuries
inflicted on Russia and her sovereign, and after
the movement which has just been excited in the
national sentiment of Russia, the face of affairs is
completely changed. Russia would still be able
to accept a conference, which, besides the Polish
question, should deal with other matters of
European interest which are in suspense ; but her
dignity would prevent her consenting to a confer-
ence of which the Polish question would be the
sole object and end."
