The Place Gu Carouse and the approaches on the
OJai and the Rue de RivOh TO the new Louvre are
beset by that most patient variety OF the hu-

Awaiting the great coming event of the day,
there is time for brief review of the talk of the
week. Its ailments have been the Russian duck or
Austro- Russian treaty of The London Morning
Chronicle the debates in British parliament;
Thouyenel's letter TO MOuster the French resident
at Vienna and the last solution of the Italian ques-
ton
The treaty of intimate alliance between Austria
and Russia for purposes of mutual and common de-
tense, clutchng and grasping, exclusively reported
to The Morning Chronicle previous To ratification,
has excited considerable attention, although the
nearly universal opinion is that 1t II canard

leonic journal as The Paris Constitutional. That II
should publish the report OF this treaty. just at the
time when it was desirable to impress particularly
on the British public and Parliament the lmpor-
lance of the AngloFrench alliance and of It's con-
frmation by an approval OF the Anglo-trench
commercial treaty, looks like one of old
Mr. Weller's election condolences That
the Government papers here do not deny or argue
strongly against the probable truth of the report is

should prove that it had some foundation III reality.
Russia and Austria are natural allies. They have

whom the revolutionary, progressive spirit of West

been said of the persistent force of the grudge that
Russia bears Austria, on account of Austras

Russia put down Hungarian rebellion then, she
probably would again. Dot more in Austria's inter-

the common enemy of both Governments. In the

likely to permanently sway the policy of the Cabi-
