NJ, Fiourens. ex-French Minister OF
Foreign Affairs is now in st. petersburg
whence he has sent several commuiiCa.
tions TO the Paris Journal. In a recent
letter to The Journal NJ. Flourens at
tributes the change in the relations be-
tween the reigning families or England
and Russia to the fact that Car
Nicholas H. is not only attached TO his
English relatives, but is drawn towards
England by his sympathies. He may
mean to stand by his fathers foreign
policy, but If he does that policy VIII

LORD DUNBAvKN MAY ACCEPT.
The dispatch OF Mr.. H. Maitland Ker-

that all Of his lordShips stiDulations for

reference to the Marblehead course,

that his proposals would be accepted en-
