They furnish us. however, with the reply OF the
King Of the French to the answer of tie Deputies,
which confirms the impression that the Perier
policy will be followed, and that there Is 10 hope
for any intervention on behalf Of the Poles; and
also with proclamation Of the Emperor Nicho-
las, which holds forth no promise to that gallant
people, except that they may be permitted to live

A striking change has come over the sPecula-

LoxpoN, August 22.-By accounts received
to-day from Amsterdam, 1t appears that loan
for Russia has been introduced into that market
by the house Of Hope & Co. but as commission
loan solely, and not as contract. There IS no
capitalist in Europe who would take the respon
