FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

(From Le Pond.)

Mohair, foulard, and alpaca, we may safely Bay,
will be the materials meet in request for September. Gue
de Chambery, =womanise de sole, and grenadince, will be
kept for warm days and toilettes habillke. Aa to colour,
the new " turtle dove" is the last introduced, but we do
not think is will be very long in favour, as our Parisian
models aeon to have a decided penchant for decided buss,
no
very pale or undecided thin; having been worn lately.
Bad is already much wore, and will be quite in favour by
the autumn. White is very fashionable and elegant,
either over a colour or not, according to the taste of the
wearer and the material employed. A white elpaoa dress
and cloak, trimmed with ckerrycoloored braid, have a very
elegant effect.
White dresses, made in muslin or transparent materials,
have the skirts trimmed with fluted flounces or bouillon-
sees, in which are run coloured ribbons. When coloured
eirlrte ere warn under them dresses, they should be made
of equal length with the over-skirt, and should in most
ewe be acennpanied by s low body of the same, over
which is worn the white owing* or pilgrim. If the petti-
coats worn with these thin drones should be of muslin, or
washing grenadine, they should be about an inch from the
ground, and trimmed with flounces,
We almost invariably see in Paris the pettionete of the
rine material as the dress, and trimmed in the same man-
ner. We fear our readers will think this rather an extra-
enact fashion to recommend them, but if they will con-
sider the expense incurred in the making and washing of
Bounced petticoats, we think they will soon be reconciled to
the innovation.

Drawee are almost invariably accompanied by cloaks of
ihe same. This fashion will, we believe, last during the
autumn ; bat we are not so assured of its continuance after
the amansesoentent of the winter season.

Plaid drums are fashionably worn ; they are se yet un-
common, but will become more general in the autumn,

Plaid wheel of ribbon or silk are much in favour for
whits or sell-coloured drones.

White bodies are so very useful to wear with skirts the
bodies of which are old-faahioned or no longer It, that they
are likely to remain as much in favour fora long time as
they now are. They are made in various materials—muslin,
plaited or bouillonoee, grenadine, foulard, or llama ; they
are often trimmed with black lace insertion. These bodies
are no longer made to hang loosely over the skirt, like the
Garibaldi, which is quite out of fashion 'except for early
rooming wear.
There Is no sensible alteration in the form of mantle for
next mouth ; paletobs, collets, or caaaques still being worn,
without any great difference of shape or style, exosptiog
that they are a little shorter. Shawls are now worn by the
Parisian ladies, fastened at the throat by a brooch, and not
hanging loosely on the shoulders, as formerly.
There seems no danger of bonnets resuming their high
and pointed form ; they are still narrow ►t the sides, but
flatter on the top than formerly, and do not come so far on
the head.

It is imposeible to describe the endless variety of hats
now worn; the moat elegant and aristocratic have a rather
broad brim and a bunch of feathers placed high in front.
Caps are mostly made of black and white lace, with a
loose crown, and getaway have a Marie Stuart point in
front. Fancy woes me likely to become very fashionable
for home wear ; they will be quite small, sad gathered or
plaited into a very narrow mom at dr waist.

ment. '• As the Artillery officer alluded to," he soya " I

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(azurn's TELEGRAMS.)
THE POLISH QUESTION.
THE FRENCH NOTE TO RUSSIA.
PARIS, Amon IS.

The Cuurrier du Dintanche of to-day gives a sum-
mary of the note which has been appended to the
despatch by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to Prince Dort-
chakoff.

K Drouyn de Lhuya explains the European
character of the stipulations which were accepted
by Russia, Austria, and Prussia at the Congress
of 1815. The French Minister recalls :
" 1. That Russia has entered into an engagement
to bestow on the kingdom of Poland a distinct con-
stitutional rigime.
" 2. That Russia in making the reservation to
approximate the Polish institutions to those of
Russia, could only allude to the Polish provinces
without the kingdom of Poland proper. The
Powers have a direct and positive right to claim for
Poland a faithful execution of the treaties."
The Courier du Dimanche further believes itself
able to state that on the 19th inst. K Drouyu de
Lhuys addressed a circular to the French agents
abroad stating that the attitude of Russia had
strengthened the good understanding between
the powers. It stated also that the Em-
peror's government was convinced that the
Polish question was a European one, and would
continue to watch events in Poland with
the solicitude which it will expect to be also mani-
fested by all the other Powers. The Emperor's
government will act in concert with the other
cabinets in the path which will be considered most
in conformity with the principles of public law and
the exigencies of the situation.

THE AUSTRIAN NOTE TO RUSSIA.
VIENNA, Auousr 29.
The note of Austria to Russia on the Polish
question has been published to-day.
Austria therein expresses great regret that Russia
had not given a more satisfactory reply to the
notes of the great Powers. The note then proceeds
to state that the interest of Europe demands an
early fulfilment of the work of conciliation in
Poland. " Foreign influences," it says,
" are not the only cause of the insurrection.
Poland would be tranquil if Russia bad
fulfilled the political and religious engagements
which she had contracted. The proposed conference
of the great Powers ought certainly to be acceptable
to Russia."

In conclusion, Prince Gortchakoff is requested to
give his most serious attention to the present state
of things, for the consequences of which Austria
declares Russia alone will be responsible.

THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION.
FRANIEFORT-ON:THE•MAINE, Amon 28.

The Europa of to-day publishes the declaration
made by Denmark on the 27th inst. respecting
Schleswig.
Denmark states that, though not in a position to
withdraw the proclamation of the 30th March, she
is really to take into consideration the proposals of

the German Confederation, and to carry out in the
now Germanic provinces those resolutions of the
Federal Diet compatible with the sovereign and
legislative power of the King.
Denmark, in conclusion, states that having re-
cognised the political autonomy of the Duchies, and
declared herself ready to enter into negotiations
concerning the realisation thereof, she would be
compelled to regard a federal execution as falling
under the provisions of international law.
