PARIS, TUESDAY EVIIIIIO.

The great event of the day—and the one which
has produced almost a panic at the Bourse—is the
insertion in the Moniteur of the long report of the
"National Government" of Warsaw, oountersigned
by Prince Czartoryski, which appeared in all the
principal journals of Europe several days ago. The
reproduction is not, however, made openly and
honestly. With petty and characteristic caution
the Moniteur omits to tell its readers what the
document is which it lays before them. It shrinks
from printing the words, " Polish National Govern-
ment," in its columns, and merely says, in its in-
troductory heading, that a letter, dated " Warsaw,
August 15, 1863," has appeared in several French
and foreign journals, and it gives the signature at
the end, "Pour copie conform& Czartoryski."
An opinion has been very prevalent to-day that
the above insertion in the Moniteur is but a pre-
lude to the recognition of the Poles as belligerent&
The Nation, however, characterises this supposition
as "quite gratuitous and wholly improbable."
And it gives as a reason that, in the cape assumed,
France must separate herself if not from England
at least from Austria ; and the language of the
semi-official journals clearly shows that the cabinet
of the Tuileries is not prepared to take a
line of its own, and make the Polish ques-
tion a French question. I believe that
the Nation judges the case rightly; bat I never-
theless think it expedient to sent you the sub-
stance of the expressed opinions of the other even-
ing journals. The France says :
The publication of this document by the Moniker as-
sumes the proportions of an event. . . . The Polish
memorandum is an indictment dict►ted at once by patriot•
ism and hatred against the Rumania government, and it may
be °moldered as the extreme contradiction of Prince Gott-
&akar* answer. . . . The publication of the Polish
manifesto by the official journal cannot fail to make a great
sensation in Europe.

Iu the opinion of the Patric,
There is no exaggeration iu saying that the publication of
this document in the Monitear gives it the impoctaooe of
a political event. Is it not, in fact, as adhesion to the po•
Weal and historical considerations presented by the secret

members of the government of Warsaw? la it not a sort of
adoption of the reasoning which led the authors of the
memorandum to represent the recognition of belligerent
rights in favour of the Poles es an act at ow* just, logical,
sod generous? Oar readers will certainly appreciate, as we
do, this roprodastiou, which may be oonsidersd se a pre-
liminary answer to the Muscovite despatches.
The Opinion Nationale" leaves to events the task
of commenting upon this publication," but thinks
it "very important."
The Temps "hails the publication in the Monitetsr
as an indication," but refuses to see in it a " solu.
tion." It is only an expellent answer to the Rus-
sian despatches upon condition that it shall be
followed by its " logical consequences."
The Pays, in reproducing the manifesto from
the Moniteur, has the cool impudence to say that
the "crowded state of its columns" prevented it
from giving the document sooner. That is the only
remark it has to make about it. The Constitu-
tiormel will now find room to-morrow fur the paper
which it has hitherto neglected.
The Pray takes serious notice of the rumour
that tho Poles are to be recognised as belligerents,
but argues that they would be none the better so
long as Austria and Prussia, in respect of their
Polish possessions, are opposed to them, and stand
in the way of their receiving arms aad munitions.
My own opinion inclines to be the direct reverse of
that of the Temps. I think the publication is a
anotment, and not an " indication " of any sub-

sequent policy. The French government is in a
great difficulty on account of the check to its diplo-
macy, and the handle which that check gives
to every shade of opposition. The publication of
Prince Czartoryski's correspondence in the Moniker
was an easy way of giving some small satisfaction
to public opinion, but I do not think it indicates
any determined course of action. I observe that
the Pays to-night clings more convulsively than
ever to the doctrine that " nothing is in contem-
plation, nothing is doing, and nothing will be
done," except by the three powers in concert.
That is saying in other words that nothing will be
I done.

The Pays contradicts the news that the Empe-
ror's return from Biarritz is to be hastened, or
that K Drouyn de Lhuys will go to see him there—
" at all events," it says, " there is no question of
anything of the kind at present."
It also denies that the Mexican deputation is
going to Biarritz before waiting on the Archduke
Maximilian, but admits, however, that K
Gutteres Aranza, the president of the deputation,
has gone to Biarritz.
The Opinion Nationale, noticing Mr. Mason's
withdrawal from London to Paris, says :—" This
step indicates a drawing nearer together of Eng-
land and the United States. We hope it does not
presage any new attempt in favour of the recogni-
tion of the Confederate states by France."
At the Bourse the publication of Prince Czarto-
ryski's correspondence in the Moniteur put the
Rate down 50c., and Mobilier fell 38fr.
The Daily News is seized.
Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, in the following letter
to GaUgnani, disputes the authorship of L'Ariglais
rintide, which the bills of the Theatre des
Varietes, hitherto uncontradioted, have for weeks
past attributed to Mr. Charles Mathews :
I am told that you, is common with other journalists,
attributed the English original of the •ngtaia nntile. in
which Mr. Charles Mathews is charming Paris audiences
nightly, to his pen. Permit me to correct this arra. Mr.
Mathews has so much laurel about him he can afford to
lose a leaf. The Anglais Tiaaide is simply • translation
, into French of Cool as a Cacumber—a farce written in
1851, by me, sod produced at the Lyceum Theatre in the
same year.-1 have, its, litexcitaito JERROLD.

THE AZOISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAT.)

CITY OF LONDON.

This morning, at 11 o'clock, Alfred Hanson,
Eaq., the Weider appointed to revise the lista of voters
for the City of London, commenced him sittings in the Court
of Common Pleas at GuildhalL
Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. George Ledger attended on
behalf of the Liberal Registratioo Association, and Mr.
Noire (of the firm of Nokia and Carlisle). for the City of
London Conservative Registration Association.
There was, as usual, a large number of overseen of the
different parishes and clerked companies, present.
It appears that the number of objectives takes by the
conservatives is 965 against 495 last year, and by the liberals
843 &gene 533 last year. Of these there are 301 double
objections. There are 106 new claims made by the liberals
and 57 by the conservatives. The number of names omitted
from the reinter which were on last veer was 1,432, and the
number of new names added was 1,976.
The greater part of the morning wu occupied by the
°veneers' heeding in the householders' lista, and much
amusement was caused on the pariah of St. Christopher-le-
Stocks being felled, when the vestry clerk announced that
there was no mutes, as the parish consisted of the open
space in front of the Royal Exchange.
Prior to the commencement of the revision of the livet7
Mr. Nokes asked if the learned barrister would state what
arranpmenta be intended to make with regard to the sittings.
The Barrister said he should endeavour to complete the
livery by Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Ledger said that Saturday was a half holiday in the
City, on Monday the county revision of the city lists
would take place, and on Tuesday was the election of
Lord Mayor.
The Barrister said he would endeavour to complete the
livery by Thursday, commence the parishes on Pridey, and
adjourn over Tuesday next week.
fhe service of the notices of claims and objections was
then proved by Mr. J. Nicholson, on behalf of the c ,neerva-
Jives, and Mr. Lancaster for the liberals.
The Barreiro then proceeded with the livery lists ; but no
CYO of interest came on during the mere* sitting.
