PARIS, Oct. 7, 1857.
The English disasters in India are the theme OF
every tongue; but. while the private griefs q those
whose innocent relatives have been wantOnly out

patty, there is evidently prevalent feeling of
satisfaction among the French that English d.
plomacy is at last reapDg ts deserts. Account for
il a. you please, an intense disrelish Of English
ways obtains throughout the Continent. The pol
icy Of England is looked upon as habitualy selfish
and uDgenerous; and, unfortunately, whilefhe has
had the power to enact the .tortter in re, or to
make her will respected BY the more EN-
barrassed continental States, her diplomat
ists seem systematically to have neglected
those and courteous arts, which go SO Tar ~

wholly averted. don't know what this English
popularity springs from, unless it be the uncom-
promising belief which every Enghshman seems to
entertain ia his own fast.mOOred ise. Ii irightens
me when hear my English friends talking OF their
present condition and future prospects, they seem 80
fabaticay secure of the nseparabe favor of Provl-
dence. l too count upon that favor, bat then /
