OUR PARIS LETTER.

(,lO* OUR OWN

PARIS. MONTLLY EVENTCO.

The French papers are taking a good deal of
interest in English politics, and frcqueutly con-
tain extracts, with comments, from the leading
London journals. The Moniteur of this morning
publishes in eXiel 410 Mr. Disraeli's address to the
electors of the county of Buckingham, of which
document the official organ prints a summary in
the first paragraph of its bulletin, but dues nut fur
the present make any editorial remark upon the
line of policy indicated by the Prime Minister.
The Coutitutionnel also gives • compendious
digest of the minister's address. and re-
marks, with refereince to his attempt to
justify the maintenance of the Church of England
in the midst of the Irish people that the argu-
ments ho employs to that end are far more likely
to work in favour of its suppression.
The Opiaioa Nationale says that their cor-
respondent at Berlin speaks of the efforts made by
the English government lately to prevent any
serious combination in the way of a Prusso-Russian
entente, and adds :

Lord Stanley knows very well--anti so, indeed, do all
British statesmen—the Fart that RUNii.l would play in such
an alliance, which would be of a tuitare to make it
necessary for England to iutorfen: it the East. That is
the reason why the Minister of Foreign AtT.iirs is diem `•
birisily opposed to the realisation of niche project.
The science and practice of war, with the new
principles, !aids, and applianees which taedern
invention has discovered, are undergoing a most
careful and elaborate steely at the ministry of
war, where interesting military conference.. are
held two or three times a week. under the pre-
sidency of the general of division. the dinetor of
the depot. Several of the most talented and best
informed of the staff officers are especially cletrjzeil
by the Emperor to treat of special military q•ies-
tions, and are said to acquit themselves of the
task with equal ability and assiduity. For sone.
time past these conferences have been exclusively
occupied with the most prominent novel inven-
tions of the day likely to exert •lt influence
upon the art of war. Thus the employment of
railways, as a modern agent. transmissi,ai of
messages by the electric wire. the captive
balloon for making reeotinaisances out Of
idiot of the enemy, are the subjes'ls
which have engaged ;most attention up to the
preeent time. As I informed you sone• days ago,
when *positing of the exiberiments at the camp at
Chalons, the use of the military telegraph, which
had been confided to staff officers, has now hem,
