NEW YORK, May ls.-The following is the
latest news per steamer New York:
ST. PETERSBURG, May 6.-The Journal De
st. Petersburg of to-day publishes the text of
notes addressed by the Swedish, Spanish and
Italian Cabinets to Russia on the Polish cues
ton, together with the replies of Prince Gorts-
chakof.
The Swedish Cabinet trusts to the humane
and generous principles of the Emperor that
he will issue words OF ciemency and obi yion,
which, with prospective regime of wise lib
erty, would completely restore order.
The Spanish note bitterly regrets that the
Impotence of the Poles should not have wait
ed for continuation Of the system of conces-
sions already accorded by the Emperor. The
Queen asks pardon and indulgence for the
Poles. The reply Of Prince Gortchal1of. thanks
the Queen fraicably.
The note OF the Turin cabinet is couched in
the most amicable terms. Hopes that Russia
will see in the date of its communication a
proof of the desire tina: Italy will always en-
terrain the most sincere relations with Russia.
Gortchakoff states that the Emperor received
the amicable assurances or the italian Govern
ment with pleasure, TO the wishes it ex-
pressed in favor Of Poland. The Prince OBJ.
serves that the Italian Governments not igno-
rant of the fact that the revolution imposes
difficult task upon the Governments. The
Emperor, however, seeks to establish lasting
peace.
