PARE. Wznirminar EVINING.
The article in yesterday's Pays, admitting the
important facts that there is an understanding be-
tween France, Russia, and Prussia on the special
point of the Frankfort Congress, and that the
rapprochement may, under certain eircumetanoes,
extend further, has not made quite so much sensa-
tion in Paris as might have been expected. Some
of the journals, no doubt, abstain from alluding to
it out of professional jealousy of the information of
a contemporary ; but this remark is not applicable
to the Constitutionnel, which is in the same hands
as the Pays, and generally echoes all its important
news, either by a literal reproduction or a paraphrase.
It is a singular circumstance that in the present
case the Cossditutionne/ should make no allusion
to the most important news of the day.
Possibly some of the ministers may have
thought the revelations of the Pays indiscreet, and
taken measures to stop their further propagation
in an authoritative form. There is still, however,
no doubt that the Pays was officially inspired last
night, although, as ministerial councils are now
almost en permanence—(there is to be one every
other day till the Emperor goes to Biarritz)—much
fluctuation of opinion in governmental circles is to
be looked for. The journals which have taken
a leading part in favour of the independence of
Poland are very much chagrined at the present
aspect of affairs. The Opinion Nationale regards "a
free Poland in a free Russia" as a miserable
phrase, signifying the complete absorption of Polish
nationality in Russian despotism.
The Temps says :
This article (that of the Pays), which affects a semi-
official air, invitee many observations which we have no
space for to-day. We mast say at once, however, that we
cannot see in the proposed new alliance any of those guaran-
tees for the pesos of Europe which the official writer flatters
himself he can discover. That France and Russia should
keep a sharp eye upon the unitary movement in Germany
is quite natural, and, although their vigilance may be
deemed exaggerated, the Germans have small right to com-
plain of it. Bat that Prussia should ally herself with
foreigners in order to check a national movement is
assuredly not a fact calculated to strengthen that power in
Germany. The circumstances under which Prussia offers
her alliance deprive it of all value, and would make it, on
the contrary, a serious embarrassment to us. It could only
serve to give new aliment to the national feeling now so
strong in Germany. and to impel that sentiment against the
Prussian government, which if it were to act against Ger-
many in concert with Russia and France would not find a
man nor a shilling. An alliance with a power which is
committing suicide offers no attractions.
The France, feeling apparently the necessity of
making things pleasant to all parties, has an article
intended to prove that in the new phase into which
the negotiations on the affairs of Poland have en-
tered, "thanks to the intervention of Prussia and
the liberal policy attributed to Russia," there is
nothing which need weaken the understanding
which has hitherto prevailed between France, Eng
land, and Austria on that particular subject. It
characterises that understanding as not an alliance,
or even a compact, but simply as "a happy harmony
of ideas and interests." The argument is that a
similar "happy harmony " between France and two
other powers may go on quite consistently with the
first. The article, however, proceeds to betray
great irritation at Austria for having got up the
Frankfort Congress when she ought to have been
occupying herself with Poland alone.
There has been mime reaction at the Bourse from
the considerable rise of the last two days, but not
sufficient to indicate any change in the political
views of speculators. There was considerable Hue-
tuation, but the closing prices of the Rents, showing
a fall of 25c. and 15c., were not the lowest of the
day.
Prince Napoleon is at Cherbourg with his yacht
on his way to Lisbon. It is doubtful whether he
will witness the experiments of the iron-clads, for
the commission appointed to assist Admiral Penand
to inspect them will not be in readiness till Sep-
tember 15.
M. Charles de Franqueville, auditor of the
Council of State, the author of a remarkable book
on the English constitution, has just received the
decoration of the Legion of Honour.
