LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.

Loan RusaELT., in the despatch we publish
to-day, sums up, with great dignity and force,
the treaty rights of Poland and of Europe, and
the violated engagements of the Russian Govern-
ment. He examines each of the paragraphs in
the Russian reply, and declares that in the opinion
of her Majesty's Government the principal obstacle
to the re-establishment of order in Poland is the
conduct of the Russian Government itself. He
admits and justifies the " lively sympathy" of
every State in Enrope possessed of a national'

representation and a national administration,
and points it out as a " lesson " to Russia. And
while explaining how it happened that the Powers
reluctantly accepted the arrangement proposed by
the Emperor ALEXANDER 1. in 1815, he maintains
that by the very terms of that clause in the treaty
which Prince Goannaitorr omits to quote, Poland
was united with Russia by ita coisatitatioss, and con-
cludes by calling Prince GORTCHASOIeI " most
" serious attention to the gravity of the situation,
" and to the responsibility which it imposes upon
" Russia." To pretend to imagine that this
vigorous English despatch, or any number of des-
patches equally vigorous and conclusive, and more or
less identical in terms, sent to the St. Petersburg
Government by the Cabinets of Paris and Vienna,
will suffice to convert or convince the Russian

Government of the error of its ways, would be to

. -
trifle grossly with the common sense of our
' readers. Without reading between the lines of
Prince GORTCHAKOFF'S latest despatch, it is
impossible to resist the impression that the
Russian Minister penned it with a relishing
perception of its highly seasoned insolence and its

supreme indifference. Once or twice, perhaps, the
Vica-CruNcsixou of the Empire but ill dissembles

the angry sneer under the icy smile. Bat from
the first paragraph to the hat it is the tone of a
statesman who remembers only too well the occa-
sion of which Lord Roaram reminds him, when
" the great army which the Emperor Axe:wrote
" then had inToland," arid above all "a fear of the
"renewal of war in Europe, combined to make
" Great Britain, Austria, and Prussia accept the
"arrangement proposed by the Emperor Amax-
" awns, although it was, in their eyes, of the three
" arrangements in contemplation, the one least
" likely to produce permanent peace and security
"in Europe." For the rest you have the state of
siege in Warsaw, the wholesale executions and de-

portationa, and General Monaavirres promise that
Poland shall be at peace by the First of November.
The real and final answer of the Russian Govern..
meat will be delivered then, and there, end we
may be sure it will be as moderate and conciliatory
as " the general interest" can desire. Polish pa-
biota, at all events, understand by this time the
value of able and unanswerable den itches in
their behalf. And the Russian Government is
probably persuaded that if the Three Powers meant
more than words they would simply recognise
nation fighting for its life as a "belligerent"

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
NOMWIOH, TOINIDAY.
This festival commenced last evening with
Jadee Macrobaits, a great work ranks forth the sesegies el
the principal voeslints, the band, and the painstaking
chorus. The power of the last may 'he inferred from the
fact that it comprises 76 trebles, 60 atlas, 64 tenors. sad 75
bums, or 275 voices in all; but these "muse numbers •
would act count for meek if laborious study and practice
were not brought to bear she. Adopting a policy mew.
fully oersted out in 1860, the aommittee Meted the prima
of admission to sa. and 10s. 6d. ; sad may peewee had
thus ea opportunity of bearing a first•clan pseformanes of a
standard oratorio which would not possibly have
come under their notice eider other eizetunelesese.
The ball did not present unite the brilliant audience width
it will exhibit oe the great day—Friday ; but it nevertheless
witacised a highly animated and attractive spectacle, and
what, perhaps, is more he the purpose, the red•eashkeed
benches were very well covered, with the alseptioa of the
extreme sods of the aide galkwies. The performance, and
with it the festival geserally, 'crammed with the Midland
Anthem, ia honoured which the audience rase ea same.
The solos were easteked by Milli.. Titter., Mkt Ti,lemr
Mr. Moslem Smith, and Mr. Woks ; and the Ames, is
was to be expected, were vigorosa. This tribute of loyalty
paid, the special feature of the evening was prooseriall with.
With respect to the attendance it may be Need Ash the

)'
The above congress wee openeClOn4g onday in
the Academie-hall of the University, at Ghent, in
the midst of great eclat.

The preakient of the congress is It Nerroort,
and amongst the gentlemen taking part in the
congress are Jules Simon, Count D'Hawrouville,
Garnier Pages, Pascal Dupmt, Wolowski, J.
Gamier, Louis Ulbach, Emile de Gerardin, K de
Pressen* Viscount Decaummit, Lavertujon,
Cerralho, &c. Several of the members of the late
Roman catholic congress at Matinee were also pre-
sent, and in particular M. Despotism

Shortly after the assembling of the congress the
members proceeded in a body to visit the public
and gratuitous schools of Ghent, the pupils at
which, boys and girls, number upwards of 10,000.
These children were all drawn up in rows upon the
Place, and the members of the congress passed
down the ranks. The children then defiled before
theperistyle of the University, from which the
members bade them adieu.

On the same day a statue of Van Artevelde was
inaugurated at Ghent by the King of the Belgians,
who was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of
Brabant and the Count of Flanders, in the presence
of an immense and enthusiastic multitude. At the
close of the ceremony a grand banquet of 250
covers took place in the ball-room of the Grand
Theatre, at which a toast was proposed by the bur-
gomaster, who rose and said :—" Gentlemen,—ln
the name of the city of Ghent, I have the honour to
propose a toast to our beloved King,whom Belgium
adores and Europe venerates."
His Majesty replied as follows :

"I thank you for the sympathetic reoeption you
have given to the toast proposed to you by the
burgomaster. I am happy to find myself again
amongst you, and 1 seize this opportunity of
impressing how much I have been moved by the
patience and constancy with which the populations
have supported an industrial crisis which is un-
fortunately beyoud our control. It is known to
you that for thirty years Ghentlsh industry has
unceasingly been the object of my liveliest soli-
citude.

" We have to-day paid honour to the memory of
an energetic man, who at an epoch full of perils de-
fended, by his rare courage, the existence of this
great commune. These facts belong to far distant
centuries, but the independence of peoples is always
based upon valour and intelligenoe. I hope that
in our good country neither valour nor intelligence
will ever be wanting ; and so we shall assure for
ourselves a future full of honour and prosperity."

'CZ EitIESSFROM PAli

(Mg OM OWN 001118PONDINT.)
PARIS, TURSIDAT IMINNWN.
The following curt note in the Pays confirms
every anticipation as to the negative tenor of the
Russian answer, and also confirms what many
people have to the last moment refused to believe,
that the French government tamely submits to the
defeat of its diplomacy. lam far from saying that
this course is not the wisest it could take, but I do
think that the result shows, not only for France but
for England, that it would have been better never
to have interfered at all. There is, however, a
notable difference between the position of the two
countries. England, when pressed by France, could
hardly have refused her assent to the dry propos‘
tion that the conduct of Russia towards Poland
was a glaring breach of faith and a scandal to the
world. But Lord Russell was careful to say from
the first that England could not set herself
up as a universal redresser of wrongs,
and he gave the Poles due warning that
they must not in any event expect material aid
from British arms. But in the French Senate,
when M. Billanit opposed Prince Napoleon's reso-
lutions tending to immediate war, which was, in
point of fact, the only thing that could have helped
the Poles, he said that the French government
would interfere diplomatically, but that, unlike its
predecessors, it would interfere "efficaciously."
The latter boast will make BE Billault's task dial-
' cult in the face of the new Corps Legialatif, when
the utter failure of French efforts to do any good to
Poland comes to be officially placed upon record.
The Pays now says :
There is general impatience to know the text of Prince
GortchakofFs answer to M. Dronyn de Lhuyelaat despatch.
We confer that we do not share this impatience. It Nein
to UN that no considerable revelations are to be expected
from this third answer of the Russian Waiter. [Note
u a r mple of the good faith of the French semi-
official journals that the Pays said only three days
ago there was " every reran to presume that the answer
was satisfactory."l Ws presume that it contains little that
Is sew, and turns is the same circle as the p►eoediog
despatches. There is, however, every rearm to think that,
although the despatch is unimportant in substance because
it does not change the situation, yet that it is in form even
more courteous than the preceding ones, in which were very
perceptible the excellent relations which are maintained
between France and Russia. This answer, together with
those which have been simultaaeously addressed to the
auntie of London and Visor, thus closes in a calm manner,
and without preemies any new and proximate incidents,
the discussion which for some menthe past has been occa-
sioned by the exchange of despatches between the three
powers sod Russia. These powers had, as is well known,
declared in their last communic►tion that they would sot
continue this discussion, is which they weld only repeat
the obser►ations sod arguments already addressed to t►e
Itheelan government.

The expression of the Pays, "the discussion is
closed in a calm manlier," will, I am sure, be fas-
tened upon by the numerous friends of Poland in
France with all the acerbity which the administra-
tion will tolerate.

The Patric contradicts the news of Mr. Slidell
having been to Brest, and says that he is at Biarritz
with his family.

M. Porcade, in the Revue des Deux Mendes, ven-
tures to ridicule M. de Peraigny's dukedom. If
there must Icoe dukes under a democratic empire,
M. Forcade iliggests that their title should, after
the Spanish fashion, be expressive of what they
have done to merit the highest honours. On that
principle, as Spain has her Prince of Peace and
Doke of Victory, K de Persigny might appro-
priately be called the Duke of Elections.
There has been little change at the Bonne.
Rente, for money, was 25c. lower at the close.
The Daily Newt is seized.
