PARIS. MONDAY EVINING.

I now believe that the Debate is substantially
right whin it laughs at the whole story of the Rue-
elan constitution and the Russo-Franco-Prussian
alliance. The France, which yesterday made a
show of fight against the sarcasms of the Dihate,
now "caves in " ignominiously in the following
paragraph :
We have ressoo to feat that the party which wfl hear o
no compromise hes owe more got the better in the eauseele
of St. Petersburg. Some reforms, no doubt, would be con-
muted to, but they are far from ha.* the otteracter which I
the authors of he projected eonstitution desired. We are
assured that Prussia continues to make serious efforts to
effect a good understanding and a pacific solution, but every-
thing depends evidently upon Russia, in whose hands alone
the future of this great question remains.
The truth seems to be that some few days ago
Prussia, frightened at the leading part which I
Austria was taking in the Germanic Confederation,
made a desperate attempt to get up the alliance
which has been so much talked about, and France,
glad of an excuse for the inaction which, for many
potent considerations, she had resolved upon with
regard to the Poles, affected to lend a willing ear
to a combination which she knew all the time
would end in smoke. It is quite true that the
initiative which gave rise to all this stir was taken
by the Prussian minister, M. de Goltz. Prussia,
desirous of revenging herself on Austria for the
demonstration at Frankfort, employed that diplo-
matist to beg the cabinet of the Tuileries to suspend
the publication of the three notes on the pretext
that Russia was disposed to make concessions.
But all this while Prussia was acting without
the authority of Russia ; and the latter power does
not mean to make any concession at all. The libe-
ral measures which she still professes an intention
to take " as soon as the Poles lay down their
arms," are merely those which were prodigally
promised of the Czar's mere motion in the Gort-
chakoff despatches, which the three powers have
condemned as unsatisfactory. The game is now
up ; but the diversion his no doubt very well
answered the purpose for which it was. played.
The enthusiasm in France for Poland has cooled
down ; all idea of war has passed away, and,
moreover, it is now too late in the season to
think of a campaign this year. The Em-
peror will go to Biarritz this week ; and poli-
tics will probably remain quiet and dull
till after the close of the hunting season at
Compibgne. Only when the Corps Legislatif meets
at the most protracted period allowed by law, i.e.
some time in November next, may we expect
something stirring.
Prince R. de Metternich, the Austrian Ambas-
sador, is expected in Paris this evening, from th
Rhine ; it is said that the Emperor has sent for
him. This news gives rise to a rumour that now the
Prussian attempt in favour of Russia has served
its turn, the French government is disposed to
show itself more gracious towards Austria.
The Bourse continues to be extremely firm.

Mr. Charles Mathews is to make his srst
appearance in Paris, at the Theatre de Vari6t4s,
this evening, in his own piece of the Bashful Man,
the French translation of which is (In Anglais

Tun CONFRDIIKATI STRAY RAILS AT BIRISN-
READ.—The Morainis Post states that these two vessels of
war, which have now almost arrived at completion in Mr.
Laird's building yard, are to be detained by government,
and a court of law will determine whether, order the terms
of the Foreign Enlistment Act, the detention is legal.
A MaxtesN BRAVO AND THE " LIGION or
Hosoua."—Ws read in the Times :—" Math surprise has
been created in the City by the statement from Paris that
the Maximo Goosed Marquez has been nominated by impe-
rial decree Commander of the Legion of Honour. Thia
person, who has long been one of the most energetic chief-
tains
of the ecclesiastical party, baa far distauoed all his
competitors, including even Miramon, by the ferocity of his
career, mad stands charged with some of the worst outrages
ever committed in Mexico on foreign citizens, After the fall
of Vera Crux, the fact that Marquez was known to be at
the head of a force io the neighbourhood of the capital is
stated to have spread consternation among all the inhabi-
tants, which was appeased only by a notification that
Gruel Foray bad sent orders to him not to enter. It is to
be presumed that, either directly or iodireetly, the Emperor
Napoleon will our the civilised world to be made acquainted
with the reasons which are considered to have rendered the
bestowal of this honour expedient; but in the absence of
explanation it seems maculated to offend the moral sense
which hitherto has sympathised with the French govern-
ment in their determination to put an end to Mexican
horrors."
