NEW COMBINATIONS IN EUROPEAN
POLITICS..

POLITICS.
The Polish question has ceased to be Euro
pean complication. The victory Of Russia is no
longer denied by either England or France and
the French papers have altogether ceased their
warlike buster. A paper which has obtained
some authority in diplomatic questions-the
Memorial Diplomatique-states that the Gar
after some hesitation, has made up his mind 70
tell the three Powers, France among the num-
Der. that the affairs of Poland do not concern
them. A few weeks ago, the possibility of such
a reply would have called forth warlke edito-
rial from all the Paris dailies, with perhaps two
or three exceptions. Now, We find them calmly
discussing the question whether the efforts made
by Prussia to reconcile Napoleon and Alexander
have succeeded or not. But as to war, none
now speak Of It's possibility.
II seems even that the reported negotiations
respecting an alliance between France, Russia
and Prussia are not altogether without some
foundation II ia certain that Mr.. Blsmark,
thinking that the Frankfort Congress might
lead 10 dsunion between Austria aud France,
looked upon the occasion as opportune tor the
revival OF his fayorte project Of an alliance be-
tween France and Prussia. In the German
question, the interest of France il SO palpably
against closer Union Of the German States,
and, therefore, against the reformation projects
of Austria. tina. the French Government could
hardly help giving a favorable hearing to the
Prussian Proposal 1t was supposed that Russia
would feel the same opposition to what Prussia
represents as an ambitions scheme of Austria,
and that she would join an alliance for the spe-
cial purpose Of checking the further unitary
movement in Germany under the auspices Of
Austria.
The discussion Of the Prussian advances by
the official press Of Paris makes it clear that
France il ready for such On alliance. II was
semi-oiicially declared that the alliance between
England, Austria, and France in the Polish
question had not been abandoned, but that this
did not preclude an agreement between Russia

with; the Polish question was to be dropped.
and the new alliance in the German question,
against Austria and England, which, from ob-
vious reasons, must desire the building up Of o
great German empire, was to be fully lnau-
gurated.
The ingenious scheme has, however, failed
from the unwllingncss Of the Russian Govern
mcnt to be party to It, The official Journal

Emperor is said 20 have no reason TO oppose the
