PARIS, TUiaDAY EVICIIING.

I am given to understand that the following
paragraph iu the France is communicated to that
journal direct from St. Cloud. Although I can-
not make much myself of the hazy involved lan-
guage in which the communication is couched, ft
may possibly be more intelligible to the English
statesmen to whom it darkly alludes :

Very strange rumours have bass circulated within the
last few days relative to the part taken by England in the
diplomatic combinations revealed by the babbling of the
Morning Post. We have hitherto judged it unnecessary
to trouble our readers with these rumours, which appear to
us destitute of any serious foundation. Whatever the
oriels of theme incoherent reports it is easy to gums wham
they come. Seeing the small impression Produced upon
public opinion, both in Frame and abroad, by the cookie]
contradictions which appeared in all the journals after the
publications of the Morning Post, one understands the
interests which the authors of those denials meat
have in sowing discord between the two great western
powers. We have too good an opinion of the loyalty of the
English people, and are too fully persuaded of the frisk
cordiality of its relations with us to allow such tactics to
abuse our minds as to the real sentiments of England. If
the rumours to which W 6 allude had their soma
in some conjectural convenation on the part
of certain Bntiah statesmen, we are pomaded
that the satire English nation would unreservedly condoms
any attempt of the kind which we are asked to believe was
contemplated. Ws have faith is the future of civilisation
and liberty which the mooed of Frame and England pro.
mime to Europe, and we believe that the efforts of those
who represent other principles wilt be powerless to stay
the progress of that future.

It is suggested to me that the above refers to
some story of England having at one time proposed
to Russia an alliance against France, and to a
recent threat of the Russian government to publish
despatches throwing a light upon the subject.
