A letter from Warsaw, dated October 25, says :
—"lt is impossible to send any news of the Con-
ferences, for the very good reason that there have
not been any conferences at all, in the meaning
usually attached to the word. Doubtless, interviews
have taken place between the different statesmen
and ministers who accompany their Sovereigns.
There have been visits and conversations, but no
diplomatic conferences in plenum. Will there be
any ? Many doubt it. All I can say is, that
Russia and Prussia are animated by the idea of
conciliation, and the alarm entertained of a new
Holy Alliance is totally unfounded. A coalition
lagainst ranee has been hinted at. Russia and
PrUSS'.a have met with a view of conciliating the
int'Jrests and necessities of France with those of the
other States.
" On the 23,1 there was a grand review of about
30,000 men—cavalry, infantry, and artillery—in
the plain of Pawockski. An immense multitude
assembled to witness it.
" The three Sovereigns, with other Princes, ar-
rived on the field about half-past 12 in droschskies
the two Emperors in the same carriage, the Prince
Regent and Grand Duke Heir-apparent in another.
They then mounted their chargers, and, followed
by a brilliant Staff, passed the troops in review.
In the evening Prince Gortschakoff, the Viceroy of
Poland, gave a splendid ball. There were about
600 guests, including many of the noblest names
of Poland. The Emperor of Austria and the Heir-
apparent of Russia danced several dances. The
Emperor Alexander and the Prince Regent did not
share in the dancing. The three Sovereigns walked
about the rooms, making themselves as agreeable
as possible, and I could not observe any trace of
anxiety on either of their countenances. A magni-
&Ent supper was served at half-past 12. The
Emperor of Austria occupied the centre of the table
of honour, having on his right the Princess Gort-
schakoff and the Emperor Alexander ; on his left
Countess Frances Potocka and the Prince Regent.
" It is curious to observe the feeling of hatred
which exists here towards Austria. The same feel-
ing exists in Germany. When the Czar left St.
Petersburg for Warsaw he is reported to have said
to his aides-de-camp, so as to counterbalance the
bad impression caused by the news of the intended
interview with the Emperor of Austria, Gentle-
men, it has been said that I have spontaneously
invited the Emperor of Austria to Warsaw; it is
not so. The Emperor Francis Joseph requested
me to meet him in that city, and I confined myself
to the reply that I should be happy to receive him.'
" I cannot vouch for the truth of the anecdote,
but, at all events, it faithfully represents the feel-
ings of the Russian army towards Austria.
" Last night Court theatricals were given at the
charming little Salle de l'Orangerie. This beautiful
little theatre, situate in the centre of the Lazienki-
park, is a perfect gem, and does not hold more than
250 or 300 persons. The Sovereigns and Princes
occupied the two front boxes, the invited guests
the other seven boxes and stalls. The " C'orsaire"
(ballet), by Mazilliers, was given. While the offi-
cial world was witnessing the ballet, the multitude
thronged the Lazienki-park, which was illuminated
like fairyland.

" reopen my letter to add, that a sudden
change has taken place in the plans of the Sove-
reigns. The hunting party, which was to have
taken place on Saturday at Skierniewice, is coun-
termanded. To-morrow morning the Emperor of
Austria and the Prince Regent will leave for
their respective capitals. At 5 p.m. the Emperor
Alexander will start direct for St. Petersburg.
Alarming news respecting the health of the Dowa-
ger Empress has caused this sudden break-up.
