FRENCH DESPATCHES ON THE POLISH
QUESTION.
PARIS. MAaca lb, Emma.
Diplomatic documents relating to Polsad were
laid before the Senate to-day.
Amongst them is a despatch of M. Drouyn de
Lhuys, dated 26th March, 1856, addressed to Count
Walewaki, at that time ambeesador of France in
London. The despatch cells to mind that in 1831
the Emperor Nicholas released himself from the
obligation towards Europe imposed upon him
the treaties of 1816 with regard to Poland. The
Great Powers fully understood the danger whtoh
might arise by the aggrandisement of &Nei& and
the advantages to be derived from returning to the
treaties prohibiting Bassi to poems the kingdom
of Poland otherwise than as a distinct state. The
despatch then continues :—" The time appears to
have arrived for reminding Russia of the obliga-
tions she bas contracted towards Europe in refer-
ence to Poland."
M. Droops de Lhoya concludes by requesting
Count Walewaki to ascertain the opinion of Lord
Clarendon upon the subject.

Another despatch, addremed by Count Walewski
to Count Persigny on the lAth October, 186 b,
states that Lord Clarendon entertained similar
views upon the expediency of taking advantage of
passing events to bring about, as far as possible,
home change in favour of Poland. His lordship,
however, did not think it neoessary to impose such
an arrangement as an absolute condition for the
re-establishment of peace with Russia.

Another despatch communicated is from M.
Drouyn do Limy' to M. de Talleyrand, dated 17th
Fab., 1863. M. Drouyn de Lhuys regrets that
Prussia had deported from her neutrality, and
enumerates, as inoonvenieums likely to result from
this resolution, that the Polish question has thereby
acquired European importanoe ; that the idea of
nutty between the different populations of the
ancient kingdom of Poland had been revived ; that
a really national insurrection had been brought
about ; that the Prussian government bad by this
means cast itself into serious embarrassments ; and
that it had created a political situation already a
mum, of grave uneasiness, and likely to prove the
source of future complication for the cabinet.
Another despatch is from M. Drouyn de Lbnys
to the Duo de Montebello, dated Feb. 18. This
document states that the Polish question possesses
above any other the privilege of exciting in France
the sympathy of all classes. M. Drouyn de Lhuys
recapitulates a conversation withßaron de Budberg,
from whom, he says, he had not concealed that
even " despite of us events may grow embarrassing,
and the pressure of public opinion become greater
as the gravity of circumstance's increased."

M. Drouyn de Lhoys comments upon the hopes
aroused upon the accession of the Emperor Alex-
ander to the throne, and considers that if they
should not be realised Russia would create embar-
rassment for herself, and place France in a dis-
agreeable position.
M. Decor& de Lhnys, in conclusion, requests the
Duo de Montebello to lay the question in this shape
before Priam GortchakofC
