PARIS, MONDAY EV6NIIIO.

The notes of the three powers to Russia are now
published simultaneously by the Moniteur. They
certainly do not bear out the assertions freely made
three weeks ago that they were in entire harmony.
On the contrary, they differ notably not only in
the wording but in spirit, and this difference offers
Russia a splendid opening, which she will be sure
to turn to account, for sending dilatory answers.
The English note is the most categorical of the
three, and tenders a pretty clear alternative of
an acceptance or a refusal. That of France
merely speaks of the treaties which England con-
siders positively binding as a possible basis for
negotiations. Austria leaves the whole question
open to almost any suggestion, and no doubt
Russia will find in the vagueness of the Austrian
despatch a good reason to prefer it to the others.
The Opinion .Nationale says, tersely, "The English
despatch is firm ; that of France is conciliatory ;
the Austrian is ambiguous."
The France, anticipating events, contradicts vari-
ous journals which have spoken of Paris, Loudon,
and even Warsaw as likely to be the seat of the
conference on the Polish question, and pretends
to know that Brussels is the locality fixed upon.
A Paris letter in the Sala Public says :

The most striking political news of the day is the depar.
tare from Paris, on his way to Mexico, of M. Hubert De-
lisle, senator, with the important mission of presiding over
the civil and administrative reorganisation of that country.
Hs takes with him several clerks from the Ministry of
Finance. _ . .

It is said that General Buaine is marching from
Mexico to Cuernavaca to dislodge the Mexican

General Comonfort, who had established himself
there.

The Prase says that three thousand men are to
be embarked at Toulon for Madagascar.

The Figie, of Cherbourg, publishes an extraordi-
nary quibble apropos of the contradiction of the
Moniteur that the Emperor was going to pass a
naval review there. The Moniker, it observes,
does not say that the Emperor will not pay a visit
to Cherbourg, and it professes to be still expecting
him.

A genealogist in the department of the Herault
has just discovered that the Empress is descended
from Saint Louis, through his daughter Blanche,
who married Ferdinand de la Cerda of Castile,
wham great granddaughter, Marie de la Cerda,
married Pedro Nunez de Guzman, the Empress's
paternal ancestor. This is a discovery which, in
the time of D'Hozier, would certainly have made
the fortune of the author. It shows that the Im-
perial Prince is of the blood of the Capets, and has
a right to call himself a son of Salut Louis—a title
of which the legitimate dynasty was so proud.
The oldest art critic in France, M. E. J. Dele-
clime, died yesterday at Versailles, aged eighty-
two. He wrote fur more than forty years in the
Dibats, and some of his articles appeared in that
journal very lately.
The Duchess of Hamilton, Lady Mary Hamilton,
the Marquis of Douglas, and Lord Charles Hamil-
ton, have arrived at the Hotel Bristol from Baden-
Baden. His grace has had an attack of cerebral
congestion, and the family were, in consequence,
telegraphed for. The Empress has called several
times at the hotel to inquire after the duke. The
last bulletin is thus worded :
Monday morniog, half past 7.
The state of the Duke of liamilton has not become worse
mince yeeterd►y main.
The medical men in attendance are MM. Bayer
and Jobert de Lamballe and Sir Joseph 011iffe.

According to intelligence from Rome, much
imeuitsess has been occasioned by the reports of the ill
health of Queen Marie of Naples. It appears that a chest
oomplaist has Disinfested itself, and that the malady has
already made some progress.

The King of Prussia will leave Carlsbad on the
18th, and will reach Osatein after an easy journey of about
three days' duratioo. His Majesty will reside there about
three weeks, and will then visit the Queen of PTIVIIiS at
Baden-Baden, remaining till the end of August. The King
will thee return to Berlin to be present at the autumnal
military manceuvres.

At Antwerp this year the chimes play regularly
at even hours: • potpourri of melodies from Vmdt's Lom-
bardi arJerusalem, for the opera is known by both names,
while the half•hows are signalised by • strain from
Gounod's Faust. At Matinee the chimes play very
th•finak non giunge," from La Sonnambida,
repeating the air with variations ; while at Louvain the
twiddling, trifling strains of the music to the last figure of
the popular old-fashioned dance "The LUD0111" are ac-
tually wafted over the etty from the easiest and Gothic
Wiry.
