The lifoniteur of this morning says the Archduke
Maximilian is expected to-day at the Tuileries.
The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article signed
by M, Paulin Limayrac, says :—" The proclama-
tion of a state of siege in Gallicia is a serious and
lamentable fact, but the English press draws
exaggerated consequences therefrom, in concluding
that a political combination exists between the
Cabinets of Vienna and St. Petersburg. As we are
in the habit of commenting on precise information
only, we we will say no more on the subject now,
but confine oursQlves to pointing out the contra-
diction between Austria making war in Denmark
in the name of the principle of nationalities, and
her conduct towards the Poles i❑ Gallicia."
