PARIS, TUESDAY EVINING.

Some days ago, in forwarding an article of the
Pays, which, while affecting to tax as exaggerated,
did in point of fact confirm in all essential par-
ticulars, the " political evolution" first announced
by the France, I observed that the silence of the
Constitutionnet, which habitually echoes any import-
ant announcement of its twin brother, was evidence
of hesitation and uncertainty in high quarters. The
Constitutionne/, which has been kept in reserve,
now speaks as follows :

The imaginatioe of newemongers has alwsys been fertile,
but their exuberant powers of invention have for some time
put been increasing. At one time certain journals invent
a whole series of facts; at another they exaggerate the
moat insignificant incideut to such an extent u entirely to
pervert its meaning. The statements made within the last
few days by newspaper correspondents, and commented on
by a large portion of the European press, is a fresh example
of the facility possessed by certain minds of inventing or
exaggerating facts. According to those new■mougers, the
French government, which so far had acted in concert in
all proceedings relative to Polish affairs with England
and Austria, offended at what has taken place at
the Frankfort Congress, had separated from the cabinet
of Vienna to make common muse with Prussia and
Russia. Serious men, and several organs of public
opinion, have, we readily admit, ref used to believe
such reports, rightly thinking that wise govern-
ments do not give way to such sudden impulses ; sound
policy is in the habit of proceeding more deliberately. How
could tba French government, whose wisdom and foresight
are questioned by none that we know of, have in this air-
otimataoce departed from all its traditions? It knows too
well what is to be gained by persevering in the path which
has been chosen, when it is that of good faith and modera-
tion. The French government knows too well that the
confidence inspired by such conduct cannot be attended
with beneficial results, and that, to gain fresh sympathies,
there is no necessity to sacrifice former ones. Thus with-
out there being scything changed in the friendly relations
which exist between France and the cabinets of London
and Vienna, the Freocb government, we believe we are in
a position to affirm, continues, by the aid of its good rola-
tines with the other powers, to pursue the solution of the
grave questions by which Europe is preoccupied.
The above article, comiug after the breaking
down of the scheme proposed by Prussia and with
which France coquetted for several days, is an illus-
tration of the political morality which never admits a
failure, and sturdily denies the existence of every
project found to be untenable. The Constifutiotind
was kept in reserve to contradict, when time should
serve, news accredited by the Pays, which is under
the same management, and in all respects the same
property. The Pays being now instructed to turn
• round in the best way it can, has an embraogled
article, the upshot of which ix that although there was
a moment when each of the three powers, France,
Russia, and Prussia, was very glad to see that it
agreed with the two others in its way of looking at
the Frankfort Congress, "yet that neither of them
thought, under existing circumstannes, that there
was any occasion to go further." What it all comes
to is, in the words of the Patrie, this :—" After
all the noise made about the liberal inteotious
of Russia, there remains uothing—literally nothing
—but this, that the cabinet of St. Petersburg is
unshakeable in its resolutions, and will continue
to defy the opinion of Europe."

A report is current in financial circles that K
Mould is about to create in his ministry a statis-
tieal department, the direction of which is to be
confided to a person who was not long since con-
nected with the management of a recently esta-
blished journal.
According to another report, K Fould is
hatching a scheme for buying up all the railway
obligations, and paying for them by a new issue of
Three per Cente.
