PARIS, Thursday, May 81, 1855.
have just learned from private and relia-
Bile source that NJ. Drouyn de rHuys is about to
resume the duties Of the Foreign Office. Austria
having at last defined her position, her PROPOSE
tons to the Western Powers having been re-
iected, and negotiations being at an end, there
were no longer any difficulties in the way of NJ.
Drouyn de rHuys's occupancy of the position
from which he was lately driven; and he is said
TO have consented to the re-appOintment.
Another reason, however, and one which was no
doubt very powerful in suggesting the recall OF
the late Minister, was the unsuitableness of the
Count Walewski for the office. The effect of
the reinstatement Of NJ. Drouyn de PHuys on
the funds and on the public mind will be of the
most sanitary character. For although he is
essentially peace man, and there is now no
occasion for the exercise of his inclnations in
that way, his ability and the assistance which
he is capable of rendering the Government in
the conducting of the war, are so important that
bis presence in the Cabinet cannot well be die
pensed with.
Since the first month of the bombardment OF
sevastopol last Fall there has not been so great
feeling of confidence in the success OF the en-
terprise as exists in Paris at the present mo-
ment. The steps taken by Gen. Pellssler to In
aueurate his command have rekindled the hopes
of the people and created an amount of enthusi-
asm in bis favor which is working the most hap
Nv results for the Government and the army.
With two such energetic and ambitious men as
Pelissier and Lyons in command OF the armies
and fleets. it is felt that grand effort will soon
be made to carry out the objects of the expedi-
ton. The occupancy of Kertch and the Sea OF
! Azoff by the Allies is regarded as an important
step in the plan which has been adopted for sur
rounding Sevastopol and cutting of its supplies;
| and il is now thought that the next movement
win be to send an army from Kertch or Arabat
toward the center of the Crimea to attack the
Russians in the open field, and from points from
which they are not well prepared to defend
themselves. 1t is even reported to-day that
Gen. Liprandi's division had been attacked and
driven from its position. But whether this
prove true or not, it is certain that bold stroke
is being made to circumscribe the city, not by
Qualifications for that would be almost impossi-
BILE and unnecessary, but with a strong line of
v.
eress or egress from the city. The great power
and iupregnability Of judiciousy constructed
ear.bworks when well defended by artillery have
satisfied the allied Generals that there were
other means TO effect their object more eilica-
cious than firing for months at time at deienses
which were repaired or reconstructed as fast as
DESTROYED; and we are now promised another
system of attack which has certainly more to
recommend than the one which has been so long
followed. In an open ied battle there is no
question as to which will be the successful par
| tv. Inke1maun and the Alma settled that.
The traditional "Spring meeting " of Ameri-
! can diplomats in Paris is now coming oil. we
I have here at this moment, beside the members
! Of our own Legation, Messrs. Dodge, Cass, Bel
mont. Siebels, and O'Suliyan, beside numerous
| Consals and Attaches. They dischim, as usual,
any preconcerted action n coming together, aud
| plead as an excuse the opening OF the Exhibi-
! ton, the necessity f1r purchasing articles Tor
/ ,leir families, to be found only in Paris, &c.
/ Ii is TO be hoped that no more political mani
iestoes will grow, out Of this reunion, although
it is known by the initiated that tive subjects
are occupying their attention which possess
cestain degree of importance. One oil these th'
reader will readily divine, is the intermina0i'
Cuba question; but the phase of the quessioi
which row occupies attention IS that which az
tributes to France the design of aiding Spain y
war with he United States. The impression
has been gaining ground rapidly lately tina
