REPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. SuNDAT EVIMITIG.

The Moniteur publishes without comment a full
translation of the diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Lord Russell and IL Dronyn de Lhuys. It
is • bitter pill to swallow, and unless it should be
thought prudent to give counter orders at the minis-
terial council to be held to-morrow morning, you
may expect to see a series of violent attacks upon
England in the government prints.
M. Emile de Girardin complains that the Add-
pendanee beige (which by the way is seized to-day),
exaggerates what he has lately written against
England, when it calls him an "Anglophobe."
He would rather profess yet to be an Anglophile,
because he loves and admires the liberty which
exists in that country, both for natives and
foreigners. But with all his admiration for us,
IL de Girardln thinks we are too apt to forget that
we are an island, and that we have no right to
exercise any influence on the Continent. He is
good enough to say that he does not go so far as
Napoleon L, who said that England " was
destined by nature to be • French Wand, just
like Corsica or Warms," but he thinks that
the " insolent" answer of England to the Em-
peror's proposal for a congress ought to be met by
• "diplomatic blockade."
In another article M. de Oirardin says :
_ _

The hoproasion imposed:4e to be neisted, after reading
the despatches published in the ifourear, is that the policy
of France is abort to be pushed by the logics of things into
I a new path. Let us be prepared.
I .

1 This means war with England, and in appro.
dating the value of this menace it must not
be forgotten that the writer of it sees
Prince Napoleon nearly every day, and is
an invited guest to Compiegne. Girardin is
a clever charlatan—a man unstable as water,
lead whose political judgment is not worth a rush.
But he likes to be able to say that his journal, the
Presse, is never wrong, and there is reason to fear
be must have good reason to know that warlike
schemes are on the tapir.
The Opinion Nationale, another war journal,
says:

Let *sr good neighbours sod ales home pleety time to
quaff their ids sod porter ; they will soon nee s Week poist
ea the hostess which et parent they hate no suspicion of.

Theses:vindication., joined to the leas insolent but
equally hostile articles of the more authorised semi.
official journals, which it would be wrong to despise
altogether. They show that we have an enemy
who is watching his opportunity and will do us a
mischief as soon as he can. We cannot do other-
wise than be ready for him whenever he chooses to
come on. But, contrary to what is now perhaps
the general opinion here, I think be is not strong
enough to do the harm to the world which he would
if he could, and there are considerable chances yet
that his own views of his owe interest will make
him keep the pesos.
The Pays says that after the council to-morrow,
Mgr. Chigi, the Papal Nuncio, will present the
Pope's answer to the Emperor's letter ; and it takes
upon itself to affirm that the Pope will attend the
congress in person "as soon as the period for Its
meeting will be fixed."
There is a charming irony about this well wor-
thy of Rome. The Pope well knows the Congress
will never take place, and thefore loses nothing by
promising to join it ; but I believe he has made
other conditions touching the temporal power, of
which the Pays says nothing. The Petrie, for the
sake of effect, and to keep up for a few hours longer
the delusion that the Congress will yet be held, sets
forth with much ado the names of the sovereigns
who, it says, have agreed to come to Paris, e.
The Pope, the Sultan, the King of Italy, the Queen
of Spain, the King of Portugal, the King of the
Belgians, the King of Sweden, the King of Den-
mark, and the King of the Greeks.
A pretty sort of congress it would be to settle
the affairs of Europe when all the great powers
would be absent. Who will believe that the pru-
dent King Leopold ever meant to join a coarsen
unless on the implied condition that the powers
who have in point of fact refused would accept? The
same be said as to all the other sovereigns.

Baron Riess°li, has just purchased a villa and

It is stated in the Malta journals that a telegram
has be.. received by his Excellency the Governer, m-
ammies that their Royal Highnewies the Grown Prime
and Prisms of Prima may probably visit that island
shortly, on their way to Egypt and the Holy Lead.
Mr. Daniel Nutt, the publisher of foreign and
elusical literary marks, died on Saturday. The bells of St.

LIFEBOAT Szavlcaa.—HilJXLEY, NORTHUMBER-
LAND, SATLEDAT NIGHT.—The schooner Theophilua, of
and for Aberdeen, coal-laden, went upon the Bondicsi Busk
Rocks, the night before laat. The wind at the time was
blowing strong, and there was a heavy sea, the weather
being dull and foggy. Some fluting colds' attempted to
reach the vessel, but failed. Thereupon the lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution was launched, and succeeded
in Winging ashore the schooner's crew of five men in safety.
This valuable lifeboat had on previous occasions rescued the
follow shipwrecked crews:—Big Sophie, of Oporto, 11
men ; schooner Georgians, of Inverses', 5 ; schooner Sagan
, and Isabelle, of Dundee, 5 ; echoes'? Prospesi. of Berwick,

THE NEW OWN= OF ASHLEY-PARE.—What
extraordinary vicimitudes there are in life I Thirty
ego there arrived at Poona (India) a homeless
drives forth by Persian fanaticism from his eoustry. The
fugitive had neither means nor patrons. This quondam
exile, since become a merchant prince at Bombay and • pro-
minent benefactor of his adopted country—we allude to
David &moon. Esq., the founder and promoter of several et
the most useful publicinstitutione in the Presidency —has just
purchased the noble estate at Walton-on-Thames known as
Ashley-park, formerly the residence of Sir Henry Fletcher,
Bert, for his eldest son, now residing is &egad. The
price paid for the mansion is 50 0001. Great preparations
ars being made on the estate for the reeepties of the new
proprietor.—Jewidi
Ax OaDaar.—Medifeval ordeals have not yet
quite exploded, as is geserally imagined—at least not yet
among the insurgents in Poked, an the following incident
will show .—A Jew travelling in the neighbourhood of Sen.
walk was stopped by some Russian troops, to whom be had
to give some information, and was thee allowed to
without molestation. Semi afterwards he was stoppetall
baud of insurgents, whose chief, without formality, Wormed
him that he must die for !savior betrayed them to the
Russians. In vein the Jew protested his issool6oll, slating
that the Russians had inquired about the reed to same
neighbouring village, sot is any way connected with the
tnneemesta of the heavyset.. Only a few ablates for .
prayer were allowed him. Afterwards • rope wee throws
round his neck, and he was hung on a strung liana& of •
tree. But, woederfel to say, the branch broke. Struck by
this incident, the chief aid to the man, " Tby God is power-
ful ; He has delivered thee. Thou must hare told the truth.
Go in peace."—Jewish Chroßicle.
