The European papers are full Of the decline and
dissolution Of the alliance between England and
France, which was to achieve wonders, re-
model the world, and last forever. Various ex"
plantations are brought forward to account for this
rupture between friends. The American public are
familiar with the reasons as stated by the Europe
an, and especially by the English, press. We who
have never believed in the sincerity usefulness and
soldity Of the alliance not surprised by its ap-
preaching end. Neither do We seek for hidden and
mysterious causes to explain natural, and by US
long since foreseen, result. The reciprocal
antipathies for ages rooted III the two nations
couldnOt SO conveniently vanish before the
firtatons Of PaImerstOn and Napoleon, and
still less could despotsm and liberty Icing keep
paths of peace together. Natural aifnitiss politi
cal aod diplomatic sympathies, will assert them
Selves and between France and Russia these exist
much more than between France and England.
Besides the overbearng but laundering ralmerston,
reduced during the war and at the Partisan Confer
ences to play second fiddle to Louis NapOleol,
essays no opres coup to prove bis independence.
This, in great measure, accounts for TIE new tura
in the Continental and English diplomatic game,
by which England goes hand in hand with Austria,
melting quarres over unimportunt details ia the
execution of the treaty, and taking part with As.
tria in the matter Of the Danuban p7inci-
paities; although, at Paris, Lord Clarendon,
in the name Of his cabinet, opposed the
self-same Austrian schemes. To display a
cheap and harmless independence, England MAIN
tains her fleets in the Black Sea, whence. the No
vember storms will shortly oblige them TO retire.
Hitherto, these pretty squabbles have been bas
tempeats in q teapot. What the future may brrx
forth will not be the growth Of the existing misaD
derstandnes Whatever may be the temper o
Austria and her hostility toward Russia, it ia a,
plainly felt in VieoDa that in the event Of AZ a,
lance between France and Russia, Austria c,r,d
be crushed, without tAs ability, on the parts f En-
gland, to prevent it. Thus all the Palmer ,toniar
explosions will psesQatly end in smoke.

Minister Of Foreign AGairs was won over 10 the
Russian interest. 1t is ST. ted hat the Count being
Pole, his large estates, once coniiscateJ are NOW
restored to him by the u ar. The simple facts are
that these estates, ealis Waewice, arc worth no.
mole than one handre 1 and fifty thousand dollars;
that they were alre' dy encountered to the half Of
their value pIeviov, to the revelation of 1881; that
afteIward they We're bought in by the Count by
private arrange ment with one of his mater
nal relatives; snd, above al that they never have
been confsevted. From this example the truthful
ness Of Eng fish stories concerning the INSCRIPTIONS
activity V Russia n.ay be estimated.
