PARIS. Seirtay EVIINDIO.

There continues to be much uneasiness about the
possible consequenoes of the Russian despatch,
which is universally admitted to be " unsatisfac-
tory." The text of the answer to England can
scarcely fail to be communicated to parliament to-
morrow, and it is therefore thought that the
Moniteur, quite silent on the subject hitherto, will
not delay beyond Monday or Tuesday the publica-
tion of the answer to France. If it be true that the
six points were intended by France as a minimum,
and that an expectation was entertained that the
negotiations consequent upon their acceptance
would lead to more extensive concessions, the un-
acceptable conditions with which it is understood
that Russia clogs her adhesion to the six points,
create a very serious situation. id. Fould, who
was at Vichy with the Emperor, arrived in Paris
to-day, and went at once to see the Empress at
St. Cloud.

M. Gideonit thus sums up, in the Opinion
Nationale, the result of all that is known of the
Russian deepatch, after the disclosures of the
Esprit Public, Nord, Patric, Pays, Prance, Con-
stitutionnel, and Memorial Diplomatique :
Putting together aII these revelations, it is permissible to
conclude—l. That Russia will have no ermistice. 2. Iliat
she will consent to no conference except at St. Petersburg,
any other locality being objeotionable, is implying the right
of other powers to interfere in her internal affairs.
After nearly six months of negotiation we have
got no farther than this. In point of fact, we are
just where we were. The powers have lost six
months, and Ramie his gained them. It is DOW DO
longer possible to undertake an expedition by way of the
Baltic. it is too late. Winter has become the sooomplice
of Russia, and will permit her to drown Poland in Wool.
When spring comes, and all is over, will France sad Eng-
land, who shrink from giving succour to the living, come
forward to avenge the dead? As to this year, it II already
certain that, thanks to the dilatory proceedings of diplo-
macy, the two western powers can do nothing. Austria
edam can aet. Will she? The Conseieetimusel and the
Memorial Diplosearique assure us that she is more than
ever disposed to act in concert with the allies. May these
kismet', tell the truth ! for it is the but chance for Poland.

A special oorrespondent of the Patric who has

After a glowing and not unmerited description of
the beauty of the racecourse on the velvet downs
above the cliffs, and a grateful tribute to the sea
breeze, which tempered the scorching rays of the
sun, the writer says the intervals between the
different races were enlivened by the flash
of artillery on the English coast, and that he was
told by some excursionists that the municipalities
of Folkestone and Dover were firing salutes in
honour of the taking of Mexico !
It is already announced that the undertaker of
public rejoicings, in settling the illuminations and
devices for the fetes of August 15, will make the
conquest of Mexico a principal feature.
