sentations of the other diplomatists were dispatched
about the middle of July. It took them more than
a fortnight to get over this letter, which was of a
trenchant and rather uncompromising character.
Russia admitted the necessity of reforms, and pro-
posed to carry out in her own way, and at her own
time, the engagements of 1816. Meanwhile she was
intent on the "pacification" of Poland, which means
the putting down of the rebellion. She declined the
proposed conference, and refused to agree to the
armistice. At the beginning of August Lord Rus-
sell and M. Drouyn de Lhuys sent their answers.
The reply of Count Rechberg was dispatched on
Aug. 12. Austria had to make answer to a separate
proposal addressed to her for a convention of the
Three Powers engaged in the partition of Poland.
Count Rechberg very properly declined to accede to
this. In other respects the dispatches are so much
alike that they were evidently concerted. Each of
them insists on the right of the Powers which
were parties to the Treaty of Vienna to consult on
the right interpretration of the stipulations of that
treaty. They cannot do this with any effect so long
as Russia declines to confer with them. Each of
the despatches dwells on the propriety of concilia-
ting the Polish people by the immediate grant of
reforms. The difference between them and Russia
is, that they consider that these reforms should be
promulgated at once, while Russia holds that the
insurrection must be pat down first. M. Dronyn
de Lhuys puts the matter more pointedly than Lord
Russell, and makes wider and more controvertible
statements. He loses in strength of argument just
as much as he gains in vigour of style. Thus he
says that the " agitation' in Poland is not revolu-
tionary; that the entire Polish nation is connected
with the insurrection; and that a wide system of
concessions would satisfy all. He has stultified his
cause by a series of reckless assertions which will
be very easily confuted by Prince Gortschakoff. M.
Drouyn de Lhuys goes further, and to save his re-
putation, and probably to escape the criticisms of
the French journals, ventures upon something like
a threat. " The Cabinet of St. Petersburg," he
says, "in claiming absolute independence for its
resolutions, leaves us entire liberty in our own
judgment and conduct. We will avail ourselves of
this liberty of action." This is the kind of way in
which children talk to one another when they are
angry. Lord Russell was foolish in rendering so
much useless advice, when he did not intend to fol-
low
it up by deeds. M. Drouyn de Lhuys is more
foolish in darkly hinting at the coercion of Russia,
when he knew that nothing of the sort will be
undertaken. The despatches of the three Foreign
Ministers conclude with the same intimation that
Russia, for Having declined to act on their advice,
is to be held responsible for the continuance of
troubles in Poland This involves the assumption
that if she had followed that advice those troubles
would have been at an end. They must be san-
guine men if they believe this. 'The Poles do not
care about "autonomy," they want complete inde-
pendence. The position of Russia is very easily
understood. How can reforms be granted to a
people that declines altogether to be governed by
Russia? The reply of Prince Gortschakoff, sent
to Baron Brunnow on the 7th of this month, is so
complete an extinguisher for Lord Russell, that he
will want a period somewhat longer than his usual
holiday to recruit his strength this autumn. The
Russian first disarms and then tranfixes his oppo-
nent with dexterity which would be ludicrous could
we only divert our minds from the terrible business
which is the occasion of all this correspondence, and
of which we do not choose to lose sight. Prince
Gortschakoff observes that in his last letter he made
certain overtures which were dictated by his polite
desire to arrive at an understanding. He has read
Lord Russell's observations in reply, and has to
regret that these overtures do not seem to have
attained the end which he proposed. The parties
have changed places, Lord Russell being now the
recusant and incorrigible, Prince Gortschakoff the
conciliatory and humane, the latter follows up the
advantage. As it is apparent that a continued dis-
cussion would only further establish the divergence
of their views, " it would be too contrary," he says,
" to our conciliatory disposition for us to prolong
it." But now comes the unkindest cut of all. "We
believe," he continues, " that in this we are not act-
ing at variance with the sentiments of the Principal
Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty." Lord
Russell, more than any one, is tired of the business,
and wishes he had never entered it. He has taken
up a hot coal, and wants to drop it. Prince Gorts-
chakoff will considerately allow him to unclose his
fingers. He then proceeds to pour balm over his
wounded feelings. After all, they are agreed on
essential points, " at least, in intention." Lord Rus-
sell does not always express his meaning. He de-
sires the tranquillity of Poland and the repose of
Europe. "We entirely share in this desire, and
ell that depends upon us shall be done to realise it."
Prince Gortschakeff then expatiates on the good and
beneficent intentions of his august master. Lord
Russell has been let off this time, but he would do
well, he is 1,111, to he A little ninro owrefill in future.
He talks of responsibility, and all nations have a
responsibility in their mutual relations. The Em-
peror of Russia has constantly respected the prin-
ciples of public right and international courtesy.
" He has the right to expect and to claim the same
respect on the part of the other powers. To use an
expression of Mr. Seward's, we should say that it
would take Lord Russell some time to " digest"
this note, which is rather a tough morsel. We do
not think he will care much about prolonging
the correspondence.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(From the Illustrated London News.)

The will of Field Marshal the Right Hon. Colin Campbell,
Lord Clyde, G.C.8., K. 5.1., D.C.L., was proved in her
Majesty's Court of Probate on the 7th inst. The executors
and trustees are thus described :—" Major-General Henry
Eyre, 98th, now commanding Governor, Chatham; Lieut.-
Colonel Archibald Alison, C. 8., formerly my military
secretary while Commander-in-Chief in India, and now
Assistant Adjutant-General, headquarters, London; Col.
William Montagu Scott M‘Murdo, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to
the Queen; and Lieutenant General Duncan Alexander
Cameron C. 8., 42nd, now commanding her Majesty's troops
in New Zealand." The will and two codicils are dated
May 23, 1863, and a third codicil July last, signed "Clyde,
F.M." There are many legacies to officers and personal
friends. To Sit William Mansfield he leaves the sword
presented to him by the city of London, together with the
document conferring upon him the freedom of the City, and
that Sir William (whom he wished to have appointed as an
executor had not his official duties prevented him from act-
ing) should be consulted as to what papers, if any, should
be made public; and, should any memoir of himself (Lord
Clyde) appear, which he would rather did not, it should be
limited to Hart's " Army List," and bo simply the recital
of the services of a plain soldier. His lordship's personal
property was sworn under £70,000. To his sister, Miss
Alicia Campbell, his lordship leaves an annuity of £l,OOO,
and divides his real estate and the residue of his personal
estate between her and General Eyre, leaving also to the
general and his family many specific bequests. Lord Clyde
died Aug. 14, 1863, at the Government-house, Chatham,
aged 71.

August, 1860. There are the following charitable be-
quests :—To the Royal Barks Hospital, St. Mary's Hos-
pital, Paddington, Field-lane Refuge, the Society for Pro-
moting Christian Knowledge, Leeds Infirmary, Society

the sum of £lOO ; and to the poor of Kintbury, Berks, and
the poor of Chapel Town, Leeds, legacies of £so—free of
