LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
THE POLISH QUESTION.
PARIS, JULY 22.

Prince Gortschakoff's reply to the French note
relative to the Polish question has been published

to-day.
It agrees in substance with that addressed to
England. It moreover insists on the moral solida-
rity of the Great Powers in presence of the evident
action of the revolutionary element of all countries
concentrated at present in Poland, stating that
this gives the question an European character,

We are so much
Prince Gortschakoff says :•••-•"
the more compelled to call the attention of the
French Government to this fact, since one of the
principal focuses of the agitators which exists is in
Paris itself. The Polish emigrants, profiting by
their social relations, have erganised a vast con-
spiracy, destined to mislead public opinion in France
by a system of misreprsentation and calumny, and
to keep alive disorders in the Kingdom of Poland
by assisting it with materials, by the terror of a
secret committee, and, above all, by propagating
the conviction that aetive foreign intervention will
take place in favour of the most senseless aspira-
tions of the insurrection.

"This intelligence," adds Prince Gortechakoff,
" is at present the principal source of the agitation,
which, without it, would be overtaken by th© ac-
tion of the law in presence of the indifference or
opposition of the masses.
" Herein lies the moral cause which tends to
prolong the present painful state of things, for the
prompt cessation of which the French Government
like ourselves, appeals in the name of peace and
humanity.

" We have pleasure in believing that the French
Government will not permit its name to be abused
for the advantage of the revolution in Poland and

in Europe."
