FRENCH GOSSIP.

The Paris correspondent of the Indipeadance
Beige wore :—"lt is alleged that the French
Emperor has addressed an autograph letter to the
Emperor Alexander, expressing his surprise at the
distrust of him which the meeting of tbe nove-
-1 reigns at Warsaw would seem to imply, and pro-
testing his devotion to the cause of order and
_ _

conservatism. I shall not affirm that a letter of
this kind has been actually written, but I have
positive information that language of this import
was used both by the Emperor and M. Thouvenel
to M. de Kisseleff before the latter left Paris. His
Majesty is said to have added that in any
case he did no fear the coalition, but
that he would not believe in it. It is
reported at the same time that the Emperor asked
Lord Palmerston to come to Paris, in order to
arrive at an explicit and definitive understanding
as to the means of consolidating the Anglo-French
alliance. Finally, it is said that M. Cavuur has
asked for information from the French cabinet, as
to the meaning of the formidable military prepara-
tions and therecent strategic movements of Austria,
and that he received for answers that these military
demonstrations had no aggressive meaning."
