Neither the courtesy nor the coaciliaton IL ex-
pected to affect Immediately the relations between
Russia and the Allies. Nor is il addressed 10 the
French Cabinet or to Russian diplomatic agents
abroad so much a. il is TO Bunc0mbe-to the BY
islanders in America and elsewhere. According
10 letter-writers at ST. Petersburg the rumOrs OF
Nesselrode's retirement frnm the Cabinet are re-
vived and take shat the French call consistently:
apropOs of which may say, after some experience
in observing such ruBors, that their consistency
has no necessary relation 10 their likelihood OF
truth. So. too, we hear enough fpslsce intrigue
az the Russian Court, of the rising influence OF
the old-Russian party, and the corresponding de-
cav of the influence of the GerInsn-Russan faction
But ali this has little bearing upon the Wharf.-The
great matter in hand. TOdtleben does his part To-

quarters German blood, but is none the less Rus
sian for that.
The German princes, of pure or mixed blood, are
GOOD Russians too: instance the King of Prussia
and the Emperor of Austria. In reference, by the
way, TO the reduction of the Austrian army so
much talked Of il is TO be observed that although
il is actually taking place it is not declared By any
official proclamation. On this account optimists

accounts for the paternal (and sellpreservative)
regard shown by Emperors for the popular

to lose Perry who should have been appointed

pay a summer visit TO her daughter aud soun-

fond of mamma Montijo) and had sent on her jew

! To run as little risk as possible she put them into
the di.patchbag of the French ambassador, ad-
dressed to the impress, just as one of US might
send jar of pickles or anything of that sort by
one of our diplomatic dispatcbbags. Some gen
tleuen of the road got wind of this precious cargo
as it would appear, before the bag left Madrid, aud
so pushed on, waylaid the courier and took pos
session of the jewelry and dispatches. The story
at first that the robbers were Carlists, political
highway men, which may still be true; but that

A part of the space allotted in the Palace OF In
6ustry to the United States not being occupied by
American exhibitors, was taken possession OF thus
week by the Imperial Commission and will be
rapidly filed With articles from other countries.
In spite of the army of wOrkmen always busy in
the Palace aud its annexes, the Exhibition still
needs two or three weeks before its truly amazing
wealth can be fully displayed. 1t has, however,
been for some time apparent that the cry OF " fail
"ure," provoked by the just disappointment aud
vexaton of those who had been led to look for the
real opening of the Exhibition when the nominal
ceremony took place, was premature. Except in
reference to the pecuniary prospects OF the com
mercia Palace Company, that cry is changed TO
one of surprised admiration, for the Paris Worlfs
| Fair is more than fulfilling the prophetic boasts
which we have heard for the past two years.
Americans who leave NewYork in July will ar
rive here in proper time to visit it-seeing more
and paying less (for rOom-rent has fallen somewhat
of late) than those who hurried over in May.

geographical round through the Partisan press,
preparatory to going-or not gong-to America.
One authority says that all obstacles on the part of
the Minister of State. by whose decisions the play
ers in ordinary of his Imperial Majesty must in
some sort regulate their goings, are removed, and
that she is collecting troupe to take with her, to
