PARIS, Thursday, Jan. To- 1854.
Amid the weary waste of spoken and written words
indefinite articles under the running title OF the
Eastern Question, with which we daily bored and
unenlghtened-it was great comfort to read IN last
Fridays Monteur the circular addressed to the French
legations by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. You
have doubtless given that circular entire in analys
to YOUR readers who will remark the camness of its
tone and the gravity of of its statements. Sowe
have at last something positive to the opinions Of
Louis Napoleon though not so definite but that the
circular is variousy interpreted. What is noteworthy
about it is the publicity given to it, showing, what the
columns of the Government press daily show his de-
sire to public opinion in favor of the course he
shall pursue. The publication Of the circular caused
good deal of agitation and greatly strengthened the
feelng-it is rather feeling than opnion-that the
general war must come. The announcement made
Yesterday that the Dyan had accepted all the propo
fitions for negotiation offered to the Sultan by the
-Four Powers, has helped to reduce that feeling Mean
time, as everything depends on Car Nicholas and as
nobody knows what Car Nicholas will say to the
propositions, the Eastern question is. except in
chronological sense far from solution as ever.
The Monitem translates and prints at length long
series of article from the Lloyd journal of Vienna the
main point Of which is to show that Austria and Prus
sia should and will make common cause with France
of such conduct their part and the improperly Of
her Since the papers are ably written, and ap-
pear in leading journal of Vienna, and are repro
duced by the official journal, inclined to look
on them the extra-0cia expression OF the opinion
of the Austrian Government People will forget how
frequently the leading journals and able journals and
semofcal organs, and ministerial organs and so FORTH
from Tie London Times down to The Washington Union
have trcked them in this way with their grave leaders,
and make as wretched bunders as the ptifullest vii
lage weekly.
The Steele Yesterday treats of the position that should
be taken by the United States in regard to the affairs
of Europe in general and to the Eastern question in
particular The writer argues that should not

To those DESTROYS of knowing, on some better author
