PARIS, MONDAY EVIZING.

The war journals speak of Lord Napier's de-
spatch as a document of tremendous importance,
and one that leaves scarcely any hope of peace.
The Preset and the Nation, on the contrary, argue
that this despatch improves the situation, because
it shows that Priuoe (lortchakoff, in the course of
conversation with the French and English ambas-
sadors, went a good way further towards the ac-
ceptance of the six points than he had done in his
written reply, and because, moreover, he explains
that the conference of the three powers—Russia,
Prussia, and Austria—the proposal for which
gave so much offence to France and Eng-
' land, was only intended to be " prelimin-
ary ;" and inasmuch as the result of the
deliberations of those three powers was to be
" officially communicated" to all the powers parties
to the final act of the treaty of Vienna, an opening
was afforded for a claim on the part of those latter
powers to exercise an efficacious judgment as to the
sufficiency of the tripartite resolutions. Ido not
know whether this line of argument has bad any
effect upon the public mind, but it does seem to me
that there is a little less of panic feeling than there
was yesterday.
The government, or, at least, that section of it
which for the moment dictates to the press, endea-
vours to repress the war feeling. The Moniteur
not only keeps back the Duke of Montebello's
despatch, which (as the France states positivelyand
as must naturally have been the case) was received in
Paris contemporaneously with that of Lord Napier
in London, but it does not even reproduce
Lord Napier's despatch from the English papers.
The Pays is instructed to advocate mystery and
delay. It says that it will no longer even speak to
its readers day by day about the negotiations going
on. It considers " these communications as essen-
tially secret in their nature." This perhaps is
meant as a reproof to the English government for
making Lord Napier's communication public.
The Pays goes on to say that the answers of the
three powers to the Oortchakoff despatch cannot
possibly be ready before the " early part " of
August, and that the Russian government must be
expected to take at least twelve or fifteen days
to rejoin. These dilatory anticipations must
quite enter into the views of Russia. The
France follows on the same side by again insisting
that the question is essentially European, and that
neither the honour nor the interest of France calls
upon her to make war if England and Austria hang
back. Against this attitude of the semi-official press
there are to be set rumours that the Emperor is
personally resolved upon a war at all hazards, and
the preparations going on give considerable counte-
nance to this opinion.
The Bourse leaves off without any sensible
change from Saturday.
The France says that the Emperor will be in
Paris for the fête of August 15, and go to the
Chalons camp on the 17th. _ _

The assertion of the Presse of Vienna that
Baron de Brunnow and M.de Budberg had received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to break off
diplomatic relations is contradicted.
It is said that the Emperor proposes to give an
audience to the principal Mexican officers now pri-
goners in France.

Madlle. Emma Livry died at Neuilly last night,
from the consequences of the dreadful burns she
received on the stage of the Opera several months
ago. This distinguished artiste who has perished
thus untimely was scarcely 21. years old.
