THE polish QUESTION.

Our last files brought pussia'e ~
ply 10 Franco, in which tie same
ground is taken, and mainly the same
terms used, as TO the grave point Of
respe visibility. that were used in tho
reply 10 England. Gortsehakotf is
evenhandod as to both. These tenns
are 50 neatly expressed, sopat, so true,
sound so well, arc so crcdItable to ouT
great friend, and they hereafter iau.t
occupy so prominent place il any
international review OF these great
times, that we cite the whole para
graph, in reply TO the threat OF tho
three powers on the responsibility
point. This is aH Russia dcigns to
say to France on tliis head! IA ,e-
CARDS the responsibility which lila
Majesty may assume in his interim
tional relations, those relations aro
regulated by international law. Tho
violation of these fundamental princi-
pies may alone lead 10 a responsihiE-
ty. Our august master has always re-
spected and observed these principles
towards other States. His Majesty
has the right to expect and to demand
tho same respect on the part Of other
Powers"
The despatch is very polite, remark.
blypolite--indeed nothing, tho French
press say, "could be more gracefully"
impertinent, in assuring the French
Government that the Gar is animated
with the most benevolent intentions
towards Poland, and the most concili-
ating intentions towards the Foreign
Powers; and hence, that in this inter-
change of friendly views, he abstains
from prolonging discussions, which
would not attain this cordial object
Of conciliation !' we regret sincerely
the di, patch reads, eve cannot agree
with the Cabinet of tln TIL; -
" Russias answer 10 France, Is but
a fresh insult" saysthe Opine Nation
ale. "It seems like q dream when
one reads such defiance thrown in
the teeth of the Government Which
made war in the Crimea andin Italy"
The Russian reply" says Ia France,
"to the Western Powers, is conceived
in terms which renders any present
attempt at COZ ciliaiion impossible."-
The Seicle is for war at once. NJ.
Emile Girardin says that "diplomacy
has rarely made more complete fdSco
than in the present instance" "Our
sympathetic readers" he declares.
"know us sufficiently to be sure that
we are not going TO triumph at seoing
thus miscaIry Gu plein Mon
tieur, after eight months OF the most
laborious CESSATION" And about tho
only consolation which the French
journals can wiring out Of this tremen-
duus rebuff from Russia is, "that
France suffers in the good company
uf England" If the great Powers do
not bite after so louda bark, they will
occupy very foolish position; as vet
they do not acknowledge the Poles
even to be beligercnts, with all their
threats TO Russia. 1t is not so with
our rebels. Bef re, as it were, they
got cleverly in their war saddles, both
England and France rushed out in
prOclamations putting the insurgents
and their cornerstone ofslavery, with
refreshing nonchalanoe, on a complete
par, as to international rights, with
the United States, with its glorious
past for humanity.
The Gar continues his war rrepa-
tons with undrecedented vigor, and
his organs say his people are full of
zoal TO stand by him in maintaining
the integrity of his Empiro.-BostOn
Post.
