PARIS, SATURDAY EVENINCE
Although the Moniteur has assured the publiet
not only that the English alliance is to be main-
tained; but that the point on -which- the English:*
and French Governments are " divided" is not of
importance, the public, remembering the old say,
ing, that there is no smoke without fire, argue-that,
if the English alliance had been as solid as it used
to be, no difference would have arisen on any point
which affected Russia, and the Moniteur would
have had no occasion to speak. The public arts
perhaps disposed to take a rather too serious view
of the matter ; but they are evidently not alto:
gether wrong in supposing that the English an?
French Governments cannot be " divided," an
that her respective organs in the press cannot in.'
dulge in' mutual abuse without the alliance being •
somewhat affected. However, what is cantocertain
that the French Emperor is not, for the pres
disposed to go the length of breaking off fetreenj
with England, and (as some of his mostinfluentL
councillors. advise) of throwing:himself into To
arms of Russia. But—mark what I say, for I
not speak lightly—in the political circles the 07
viction is very strong that the alliance has receive'
its death blow, and has but a short time to live.
That changes in the Ministry are imminent 01

tion of Count de Walewski, Minister of Foreie
Affairs, is still regarded as not irnprobable. If he
goes, the alliance with England will be streng,t"i;

Lions. It is said that Count de Persigny, Amb.,igns;
sador at London, presuming on his long stars`
friendship with the Emperor, and his high l'"0
tion in the Bonapartist party, took all the Ministerti
severely to task, partly for weakening the Englisiv
alliance-of which he is a great partisan ;
for not preventing the discontent which bag
doubtedly arisen in the country; and, above t!'
for encouragement of, and alleged participation
stock-jobbing operations.

sition to go to' war with Russia if she will n"" -ng

of view, but it is believed by the same '•aerie
