PARIS, MONDAY EVINING.

The Pays has the following semi-official article,
evidently dictated with a view to calm the war feel-
ing which prevails :

L AL DrOura de Lime' first despatch relative to the
riang in Poland the hosoumble Whitler for Foreign Affairs
rewarded the strong and unanimous sympathise of France
for that muse which has the privilege of uniting all political
parties in one common sentiment.
It is to be regretted that a cause eo good and so noble,
end so strong also, in wausequeace of the unanimity of
opinion in its favour which prevails not only in Pianos,
but in Europe, should be too often compromised by the
very people who profess to be its best friends, and who
allow themselves to ass in its defense violent language and
insults which are commonly employed on behalf of a bad
aria

It is with regret also that we see certain journals endea-
vour to avail themselves of their more or less officious rola-
lions to give to their polemics on the subject of Poland the
ardour amid gravity of the discussions which preceded the
war to Italy.
Nothing au be more unlike the present situation than
that of 1859. Then there was • praising question which
Frame had no choice but to take op. Weir between Aus-
tria and Piedmont, the latter backed by the Italian popida-
Sloes, was imminent. Either we most have consented to
let Austria rule throughout Italy, and wee up to our own
fraction, or make up our minds to party the blow.
To-day there is nothing of the kind in view. A question
of bumaaity, of European order, of sympathy far • brave
and unfortunate people is indeed before us, bet there is no
danger for France.
Uoder such circumstances, France is neither more nor
leas engaged than the other great powers of Europe.
There is no French question. There is only an European
question.
The understanding with England, Austria, and almost all
the states ci Europe, relieves present circumstances from
the gravity which it is sought to attribute to them. The
union of the great powers amply suffices to produce an
hemostat]. mintier without it being Deoessus for France
to throw herself, alone, into an adventurous course.
The joursals, therefore, which strive to assimilate two
epochs so essentially different deceive the public and de-
ceive themselves.

I have no doubt that the Conabitutionnel will be
ordered to-morrow morning to echo the above ar-
ticle, which is, I think it safe to say, the latest
expression of the opinion of the French govern-
ment, so far as M. Drouyn de Lhuya, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, may be considered the repre-
sentative of it. We know, however, by long expe-
rience that the Emperor has frequently a policy in
reserve, on great occasions, of which his ministers
know nothing. The public mind is certainly more
excited to-day than it has been for a long time.
The fall at the Bourse continues, and the money
articles of some of the evening papers say that the
sales by speculators to balance their accounts are
over, and that it is the public principally which is
now selling.
At the Sorbonne, on Saturday last, a young lady
(Mdlle. Emma Chenu) passed • brilliant examina-
tion, and was admitted to the degree of bachelor of
sciences. This is the first instance of a woman
being allowed to take honours in the University of
Paris. The example was set at Lyons a short
time ago. Mdlle. Chenu was warmly congratulated
by M. Milne Edwards, who was in the chair at her
examination, and loudly cheered by the crowd of
students.

The Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Weimar, son of
the Grand Doke, has just arrived at Heidelberg to enter

A letter from Rome of the 14th says :—" Yes-
terday the Neapolitan emigrants here were all in commo-
tion ce amount of the expected arrival of their youthful
queen, Maria Sophia of Banda, who, after se protracted
an absence, bae finally Maned to slam the exile of her
royal spouse in the gloomy grandeur of t►e Anise Palace.
Her Majesty arrived at 8.45 p.a, is the port of Civita
