osi,iops'1 Russian plenipotentiaries will claim
that II is IN interior part Of the Empire, and not
Affected by the third point Of the accepted Propo-

the Russian view. Passing over other parts oil
the article in the Debats, We come to that OF the
Sisele The Siecte, after reproying Its cotempora'
~ for its pretentiOus manner OF treating diplo-
matte oue,tiops. goes on TO show that NikOaief is
effectively military port and arsenal of the Black
Sea not sithstaDding its geographical distance
from that Sea. 1t maintains that the Allies must
insist upon bringing Nicolaief within the same
conditions that are to be applied TO SeTastopol;
otherwise the naturalization Of the Black Sea, the
acceptance OF the third point, has no meaning
The Steele does not stop here lthOlds these ques-
tiops of Nikolaief, BOmarsund and Kars as secon-
dsry. mere matters of detail with which Russia
and her friends desire TO occupy u.s. and TO
thus withdraw our attention from the fifth
{" article of the propositions and all that it con-

questions of nationalies, of repdrdtions, of the
European balance Of power. These are what

" and everywhere repeated in official quarters,

European equilibrium, and that 1t was Deces-
L" gary TO prevent any future encroachment Of
Russia. We ask that peace may be con-
cluded strictly within the limits OF the war pro-
orauIne" You will admit that the transfer of
an article Of the spirit indicated in the above brief
extract. to the columns Of the official organ OF
Government is a noticeable phenomenon in the
actual state OF the political atmosphere. II is the
more noticeable when we remember that it is
taken from the Steele, the organ of the Liberals,
which has steadily been, from some time before
the breaking out of the war, war paper; and
that the occasion of its original publication was
peace article in the Debats, which may be called
peace paper. so far as / Can judge, however,
tie eject of it's reproduction in the Moniteur, with
out restriction or comment, has been to startle
rather than 10 alarm sensible people. They say
it is strange. II helped to cause slight fall yes
terday at the BOurse.
The Monitsuy for the past week has printed items
of different interest Thus, telling how En-
peror and wife went into the FaubOurg st. Antoine
the other day to visit new house of education
building there under her patronage for the young
work girls of that quarter, the official sheet In
folds the parenthetical remark, that 1.-The En-
"press. although in the ninth month Of her preg-
"nancy," was able to visit all parts of the estab-
lishment. People curious in this high order OF
gossip, will be pleased to learn that the Austrian
Empress is in her fifth month of oeteris paribas.
In the Moniteur Of the 18TH is choice bit of news
to gladden. the hearts of al philolOgues and bibo.
pbiles, whose tastes or studies are French and
arcbaOlogic. They may read there an imperial
decree which orders the publication at Govern
ment expense, of the Old French Poets. The col
lection will comprise about forty volumes OF
5000 verses each. The first series will contain
tha 1iVa
France aud England, the exploits of Charlemagne
and Arthur, and Of the heroes Of their cycle. 1t
will be followed by ancient poems on subjects
taken from sacred and profaDe misrepresentation
psrapbrases (and imprortments) OF the grand cpl
lodes of the Bible, and the dietd 81 gesta OF Her
cues and Alexander, Of Cesar and Attila. Then
will come the rOmances Of adventures. The series
will close with the old satirc and allegoric poems,
such as the Romaunt of Renard and the Romauat
of The Rose. There is also to be a collection OF
shorter poetical pieces in various kinds, and OF
ancient dramatic poems.
