The new Paris Conferences have, by the clever
MANAGEMENT of Lord PalmerstOD, been shorn OF
their importance before having met. They are now
pure iormaty since it is understood that B0l.
prad and the Serpents Island must be given up by
Russia and that no other question is to De- intro
dpced into the discussion. England is now step 10y
step approaching TO Austrian alliance, just IN the
sane way as France is drawing closer TO Russia.
Politically this new arrangement OF European alll-
anoes may for the next future not lead to any dill
culGes but il contains the seeds OF great political
dancer for the future. Its immediate result was
the italian Amnesty and, if We may trust to report,

five wears has never ceased 10 offer advice TO the
