THE QUESTION OF

PARIS, MONDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur of this morning says : —" The
journals of Berne have published sketches of the
treaty and protocol intended to secure the settlement
of the affair of Neufchatel. The publication
of these documents would be, in any awe, an act of
unjustifiable indiscretion ; but the papers now
issued are at variance in many points with the true
tnt—which text indeed is not itself definitively
agreed upon. This abuse of the secrecy of an un-
finished negotiation is the more to be regretted, in
that it may compromise aucoess."
