EFFECTS OF THE Z AMERICAN
NEWS IN PARIS.

PARIS, Friday, July "a, 1858. - The late
Union successes could have scarcely pro-
duced greater effect on the minds eofl
men, and especially on. their calculations,
in the United States than in Europe. It
is certain that they have given check to
NapoleOns designs into war with Russia
Up to the moment Of the arrival Of these
important successes, the secession journals
OF England and France were full of argu-,
ments and predictions hostile to the
Union. Since the tide has turned, tie
French journals, al least, are either silent
or contain only garbled accounts or false
appropriations of those events. Since the
invention of journalism there was proba,
ply never seen such an example Of bare
faced and shameless unfairness as that
shown by thy government press of Paris
towards the Union cause; and this Unfair
ness compares strangely with the constant
repetition in other colun as Of the same
papers, OF the highsounding words.
| ''French honor, and eFrench impartial-o
ity," as applied to the treatment of inter-
national questions. The fact is, French
honor and French impartiality are like
English justice and English love of fair
Iplay-they never cross the frontiers. 9sl
| The opinion is very general, this week,
that France cannot back out of war with
Russia. The Russian reply itself is re-
garded as challenge which France cannot
refuse, without suffering in the eyes of
Europe. The situation to-day is this : ]
The six points presented by France, Eng.
land and Austria were the minimum OF
the expectations of these powers. A re-
tusal OF one or more of them is, therefore,
inadmissable. The Russian government
not only rejects one or more of these
points, but it couples to its rejection Lam
guage and statements which are consider
ed insulting as well at Paris as Vienna.
Thus instead of admitting, what all the
world knows, that the Poles desire and
have long desired their Independence,
Prince Gortschakoff says that the rebel
lion was hatched at Paris, and that the
revolutionary element, and not the natur-
al desires of the Polish people, is the
cause Of the war. To the Indignation of
the Austrian government, the Russian
| dispatch places the Austrian Polish pro-
vinces on the, same, footing as those of
Russia, and makes other comparisons and
| insinuations which appear to have pro-
duced decided and irrevocable rupture
between these two powers. They are go
| ing to re-demand, in O note identical with
| the three powers, the acceptance without
| reservation of the six points, and this sec
ond demand thus becomes the ultinaatun,.
to be followed, in case of rejection, by
withdrawal of ambassadors, and cessa-
ton of diplomatic intercourse. -.,+. .,it sji.,

people think that, in view Of the fact that
the three great powers are acting in con-
cert. and that two of them, England and
Austria, do not desire war with, Russia,
that there is. therefore, strong guaran-
tee of peace. A few days more, however.

In case of war, the plan, I understand. g
is this: Austria will remain neutral. but
will march large army to the Russian
frontier, thus forcing Russia to face e
with an army equally large. England win
blockade the Baltic and lombard it's
towns. France will march a large army
straight upon Berlin, and will furnish arms
and volunteers to the Poles. In not 90
ing to the aid Of Prussia and Bavaria
Austria will lose her influence in Germa-
ny, but for this she will get promise
from France to remain at Rome, and not
to favor italy in her attempts On Venice. -
Thus France hopes to get possession Of
the Rhine, re-establsh the kingdom of
Poland, and put back for another half GEN.
fury the consolidation of German power.
It is England this time, if she be really
dragged into the war, who will pull the I
chestnuts out Of the fire, for where is her
slice to come from after the war ?Str.F -,
In case the season is too far advanced
when the moment arrives for commencing
hostilities, France, it is supposed, will
send money, arms and volunteers to the
Poles, to enable them to prolong the re-
sistance till next spring, and then the
grand struggle viii commence. This is
the talk to-day at Paris, and the funds are 9
declining steadily We are evidently.in Z
an iaapasse, to which no one at this mo- 4
ment can see any other exit than war.
