medin,leu-The Polish Question.

pAHf,, hsr,h 6, 1868.
Tho Hs,rscsr has given resume Of Mr.. ss~-
ards letter 10 Mr Dayton Of February 6, in reply
10 the French proposition Of Janusry9 9. II bsone-
thing les, than fourth the length Of the original,
bu, perfectly fair, and essentially complete. Gov
ernmsn, journals have not yet been ordered what TO
think OF il, and il 10 possible that other journals
have bc0n advised not 10 enlarge upon it, fou will
find little comment upon il, Al least In the French
pr,s.--whioh. indeed. has been and still 10 more
p,.oeerpied Tor the momsnt with tho Polish insur-
reetlon than with any other thomc. There is good
deal Of foolish talk abou, the irritation OF the French
Government, |. e. Of tie Emperor At or rejection
Of his proposition and o. Mr.. Scwards deDial Of tho
strict yeraciou,ne.s Of NJ. Nercier's report TO

lection of bis scheme Is naurali and that he hnds

that hi action In the case would be iunueneea by
his personai irritation, !. TO display u bIlill.u'
Ignorance OF tho man aud OF tie record Oh DIS foreign
policy for the past twelve years. -
That there may bo persons abou. him Is probable
a. il ia certain that there are persons about men,
no GEEK exaggerato the rejection and the retort
hardly courteous into causes Of diplomatic fupture

But Mr.. Seward note Of tbs 9th February to Mr.
DAYTON, and hi report Of February ii 20 the
Senate on 81. Mercier's Visit to Richmond. Will
only DO used rs preex,s on condition tha. events IN
America furnish tine real grounds for marked
change in the Imperial policy toward us. II is well
enough to observe here, what quidnuncs are always
overlooking. that that policy hitherto has been cali
culated on events facts, and hardly perceptibly
Influenced by diplomatic underwriting.
In respect Of tho Msrcier-Riehmond business, Il Is
said that Drouyn do Lhuys has written sun GENTLY
tart note In response 10 Mr. Stewards report on the
sane. I am not informed whether he thought II
consonant with his ministerial dignity TO laugh rs

slresdy been reported concerning the loan nego.
tiated here by MIR. Spence OF Liverpool, and other
agents Of the T.. S. A. The Rotbschds, as Is well
known. have been favorable to, not TO say advo-
Gates Of tho insuneetion. Perhaps their New.Yeyk
agent could tell you something worth knowing on
this head.
10 recur for I'm Instant 10 our rejection Oh the last
French proposition. IL is noticeable that the Nom.
teur resum6 referred TO above, while carefully Civ
ing tho essential matter Of our Secrctnrys note Of
declinaion, as carefully avoids reproducing those
features Of its manner that might possibly give Of
feuss to tho over-nico artificial French sense OF the
propr cites Of diplomatic rtylo and courtesy. The
sense OF literary form with the French ~ almost
morbid in its dclicacy, and lsads them away often
from fair judgment Of the underlying idea.
Whatever Government may think respecting the
note of 9Th February, /! had tho evident intention,
in this Official analysis, TO present IT to the French
public in way eust likely to provoke irritation Or
anfriendly criticism.
The furry of sIcitement regarding the Polish ques.
ton, which was at its light when last wrote, has

Of that foolish middle-aged King of Prussia with
tho Gar will not ~ into eiisct-lhanks mainly to
the representations Of Napoleon and to tho honora-
bio resistance Of the Prussan Chambers to such II
piece Of impolitic iniquty. The Government jour
nails which at the outset Of tho Polish instruction
threw cold water upon it, and later, occasion OF
this convention, nosily parnded their sympathies
for tho Polish patriots, arc now with pretended
impartiality throwing lukewarm water on the move-
ment. English Government journals, you will OBJ
serve, with yet more striking tergiversatory con-
trusts, are arrived ut the same pOn Of view. There
wIl DO no vigorous intervention on the part OF
France and England between the martyrsd Poles
and their oppresuor. There win DO no honest, Wig
orous effort even OF the diplomatic sort, TO induce
