10 A writer in the London press speaking
Of Louis Napoleon. says:
"Bafaed in his repeated attempts, in con-
junction with England, TO put an end to the
dispute, he has made up his mind to more
determined policy. One of the FIRST steps
will be the immediate recall of all the diplo-
matte sgents who hsye been concerned in the
The despatch Of Gen. paraguay d'Hilliers to
Constantinople is the first step in this direc-
ton. Should the present negotiations, now
understood to be pending. fail in their object,
some very decisive steps on the part of The
French Emperor may be fully expected"
The correspondent Of the Times confirms
this as follows:
"The tone of the ministerial papers, similar
to that which characterised the article of the
Patrie, commune ted yesterday, though still
marked by show of moderation, fully justi
fies the o bservations l made yesterday with
respect to the determined attitude assumed by
his government on the Eastern question, and
which there is every reason to believe, is il
every respe ct similar to that Of the English
cabinet.
"This view of the case is confirmed by vha
| have learned in other quarters since yester
day, and the sentiments Of Louis Napoleon OF
the conduct Of the Emperor Of Russia are &C
little concealed that, as am again assured, N
de Kisselef may think it necessary before
long to apply to his government for a shor,
leave Of absence. to be prolonged as circum
stances may require. It's, at all events: Ger
tain that. at the Russian embassy in Paris
symptoms Of discomfort, irritation and alarm
are apparent, and when such change is re-
marked to Russians, the impatient vehemence
which accompanies the denial betrays the
fact"
