RUSSIA.

The Russian Corresyon of St. Petersburg of
the 19th has an article on the subject of the
ukases published on the occasion of the marriage
of the Cesarewitch. It is nothing but a long
eulogy on the system pursued to free Russia,
" and consequently Poland," from the effects of
the ancient regime and the late revolution :
Happily (says the writer) the evil is notorious and
the remedy almost found ; legislative measures concern-
ing the sale of property in the western provinces are
under consideration and will soon be promulgated. Any-
one must be wilfully blind not to see the wisdom which
characterises the reforms successively undertaken in
Poland. All the rumours that have been current at dif-
ferent periods, and which we have denied in their turns,
give way before facts. The determination of the govern-
ment is immoveable : persons may change, but the system
will be continued, for that alone can assure the welfare of
the masses at the same time as the security of the empire.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(runt OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS. M..NDAY EVENING.

There is not a single Paris journal which now
ventures to express a doubt that Maximilian is on
his way home from Mexico. The Pays puts for-
ward a reason for his flight from his empire which,
though obviously suggesting itself t those in
search of an excuse,no other government organ has
had the courage to adopt. It says that the lamentable
state of his wife's health is the cause of his journey
to Europe. Unfortunately for this theory it is
known that Maximilian was aware of the terrible
calamity which had befallen the Empress some
days before he expressed a determination to stick
to his empire to the last gasp, and the political
reasons which have driven him away are so
abundant as to leave no place for the private
motive which the Pays would foist upon the simple
, minded.

The Vigie of Cherbourg publishes some severe
strictures upon the accommodation provided for
the French troops on board the transports which
are to bring them from Vera Cruz. It says
that as many as 9,000 men are to be packed like
herrings on board six ships, which are totally in-
adequate to carry so many with any regard to their
health and comfort. It regrets that " economy,"
which was forgotten when the Mexican expedition
went out, should now be severely enforced at the
expense of the soldiers coming home after having
suffered frightful hardships in an unfortunate
I cause.

The new editor of the Muniteur, M. Norbert
Billiart, a witty barrister, whose weekly articles in
a legal review, the Monde Judieiare, have long
been deservedly popular, has the ill luck to
find himself prosecuted in the Correctional Court
for a libel, on the very morrow of his
installation in his official functions. Happily for
him the prosecutorisnottheProcureur-Imperial,but
a private individual. It would be awkward to find
the editor of the Moniteur, who must be supposed
to represent in the highest degree the principle of
order in the press, performing his functions
while suffering a month's imprisonment for a libel
emanating from his own pen. No doubt the astute-
ness of the correctional judges will prevent such a
catastrophe.
The Bourse was firm, and the reason given by
the semi-official journal is the prevalence of a
belief that the abdication of Maximilian will result
