! The tnfe1ences which drew in my last com
munication, both from what actua1ly took
place then, and from private sources Of fufor-
nation, respecting the comparative unimpor-
tance of the late interview at Nice. have been
more than confirmed by subsequent incidents.
Amongst the numerous articles published on
the subject BY the Partisan press, La France.
journal representing what Is known as the
Empress party, and a strong advocate of
the Polish cause, though mainly on account
of the religious and Catholic question involved
In Unpublished a leader In which the
Imperial Government was strongly urged and
even warned TO avoid any closer political int3-
macy or understanding With Russia. The ar
hc!e OF course insinuated that such Intimacy
or renewal Of a better understanding was
sought for by the Emperor Alexander: and
certainly, as remarked some time ano, the
1act or that sovereign entering the French do

legations which were sure to be con-
look as though be we're counting re-
sumption Of the intimacy which formerly
existed. The circumstances Of the interview,
however, Us also remarked, also suf1ces to
show that no ench object had been attained,
temp1atcd. And now, when the Interview is
over, the scmi-of1lcia1 Intu2ids Rtsss comes
forward to reply 10 the article Of La Frunce
in an offended and almost angry tone, and to
assert TINT " if any such reconciliation or res
it was certainly, not ftom Russia that the arsf
advances must be expected" The nrti-
Gle then asserts the late inYeryiew
to have been purely matter Of
courtesy aud etiquette; and proceeds
to iay down the programme Of tie Imperial

aboyc coming from St. Petersburg md evinc-
ing the tone which prevails In official
circles there, quite excludes the idea
Of. any, close political alliance between
France and Russia. Coupled With what1 hayo
stated in former letters they reduce the. re-
cent incident to its trnc dimensions. 1t was
q mere act Of personal courtesy and civi1ity
On both sides, demanded BY actual circuni-
stances bnt in no wise diminishing the wide
gulf which both sovcrcigns aud both nations
still feel to have been created between them
by the circumstances and diplomacy Of last
spring.
We hear no. further official newsas yet from
Italy Or tbs Italian Parliament, but 1t issnown
that the Bureaus Of the latter have decided
almost unanimously in favor Of the Conven-
tton and Of accepting the change of capital as
q % provisional measure. The Pope mean
tholity, is determined to be as firm
Or as obstinate as ever. The newly created
French Cardinal de Bonnechose, whe has been
much at Rome lately. has addressed pastoral
letter to his flock at Rouen, where he Is Arch
GlshoP on the occasion Of the great fete on
that the holy Fatheris calm and serene though
surrounded BY dangerous enemies who encon-
pass him about and close him in on every side.
But he is resolved nevertheless, the Cardinal
says, to agree to no concessions Incompatf-
pic with the dignity Of the holy Sec" This
Is probably tust the sort Of disposition
which italian Statesmen desire the Pope to
perseyere in, rs being most certain to work
ont the desired results Of the Convention.
The cry Of "no concession is exactly what
is most likely to cxaspcrate the Romans and
place Italy in possession Of her Capital!
Meanwhile the Pope is snid to be looking
about him to find new defenders when the
French army is gone; and 1t Is asserted that
an attempt il being made to create Polish
legion at Rome to obstrnct the progress there
q At that very principle Of nationality which
1Aose country1nen nave been In arms
and bled for SO long on thei1 own
soil! The Polish Jesuits are said to be work
ing hard to induce the scattered heads Ct the
insurTection to accept this mercena1y SER
rice.
Money matters are becoming easier with
rs af5er the recent pressure, and there Is
slight tendency towards an upward move
ment in securities. The bullion has begun.
again to increase slowly but steadily in the
Golfers Of the Banks of London and Paris, and
the latter establishment has taken the lead In |
reducing its rate Of discount on bills from 8 to
per cent. The rate On other securities re- |
min the same.
You will hare 1earnt of the capture Of the |
Florida, probably, before We know 1t here.
The -Aoniteur speaks in terms Of great exul-
tation of the reduction and seizure Of Mats
moras by the French feet.
