The Paris Steele. Of the oath ut. says:
Should France, against her wish, he drawn
into war in favor of Italy, the worlds pood
opinion would bc with her. Our duty is already
traced out. We should renew with enthusiasm
for noble Italy. and with the approval of the va
!ious faclions of the democratic party, the pol.
icy we pursued during the Eastern war. when
the Influence Of France and question OF ricbt
and European equilibrium We're at stake.
The Paris Presse, Of the oath ult, SAYS:
we continue to express hopes Of peace: we
persevere in hoping that Europe. accustomed to
the prosperity OF industry and commerce, will
not enter barren and sanguinary epoch of war
heverthctess do not close our eyes 10 the .er;ou
d,Ncnhics and complications af The prcscut state
~ Enropc; nor are we blind to the fact that
France hns duties TO accomplish in these compli.
cations; that she has conclusions to form and TO
defend. She cannot aud aught not to abandon
causes which she has advocated for half a cen
tury. But let us hasten to say that these diff.
culties and complications as yet belong to diDlo.
macy and We hope that Europe, befnTe invoking
me DECISIONS OF brute force, will lie saved by the
sklllful measures of diplomacy.

faith and the Greek nationality, with refuge

ought t' be defended. We have to obtain
the consequences Of the treaty of Paris. n is
hat
diways e1ist diplomatic complications, IN ,rhich
are mmst take aa 0.tive part. The execution of n
treaty like that of 1856 is as important and
taore Iahorious a task than its conclusion and
only children could believe that when treaty. is
signed nothing remains but to deposit it in the
State archives and to indulge in perfect repose.
France protested against the projected in
torventlon OF Austria i'll Servia and particularly
against the right cnined by that power. France
was perfectly justified in 30 doing. Austria
gave way with respect to the net, hut she has
not resigned the right which she attributed to
herself We may here remark that it.
according to the point Of view of the Vienna
Cabinet, an Austrian Intervention may be iust-
he! ny a" appeal OF Turkey, the treaty Of
1856 has ceased to exist.
