Pwebla eta nous! Since the first reported capture of Sebastopol, which proved to be false, the Parisians havo ‘not been so much surprised as they were upon looking at” the Moniteur yesterday morning, and seeing the deapatch from the French Consul Genoral at Now York re- porting the surrender of Puebla and its entire garrison. Tho nows, it is said, reached fontainebleau on Wednesday evening about eight o'clock, while their Ma_esties wero still at dinner, and it doubtless added very much to the flavor of the dessert. After dinger, when tho band came as usual to play &@ tho garden, the public were also admitted, and the ifttle Prince Imperial went out upon one of the baleouies and showered upon the people below little alipe of paper,on which the despatch of the Consul Generai at Now York had been hastily printed. Later iv tho evening Fontainebiean was illuminated, and yesterday at noon a salute of twenty-one guns was fired from the Invalides, and in the ovening the thoatres and some of the public buildiogs wore all ablaze ta honor of the result. Of course thero is a genoral fooling of satisfaction bere that aftor such a fength of time and so many losses something bas been accompliahed. But, save the natural prido at the succegs of the French arms, and the fosling that the taking of Pucbia affords the Emperor an oppor- tunity now to honorably abandon this unpopular expedi- tion, there {s no real rojoicing mani‘osted at theunex- p ciod news which has just arrived. I send you ox- tracts from the principal journals in rolation to it.

The object of the conyention was to agree upon ome general principles relative to postal matters, which wuld be nade the subject of treatien between the dif- ferent governments represented. ‘The leading rit in the convention was the representative the United States. Hon. Jom A. Kasson, mom- ber of Congress elect from Iowa, and formerly Assistant Postwaster General. After the termination of the busi- ness of the convention resolutions of thanks to tho Upi'ed States government snd to Mr. Kasson were adopted. Mr. Kasson, in reply, stated that hoe had been gratified at the disposition exhibited to arrive at some uniform system in p stal arrangements. The convention represented no less than four hundred millions of people, nine-tenths of the commerce nnd nineteen-twentieths of the corresp»ndouce of the globe, After much discussion. the co:venticn finally agreed upon a uniform weight, which thoy recommend for ‘d foreign letters, aa tho basis of a singe postage—this is filtecn grammes, or abont half an: ht now allowed for letters from America to hogland, just double that permittea in corresp ndence between the United States and Frauce A more @tilcult matter to arraygn was the adoption of otard weight. Meveral of the ropresentitivos at jired that exch pation should use its own woights, brought ag nearly as possibio to agree with the French weight of fifteen mes. The Enclish representa’ ive ‘was particularly loath to accept the French weixht, Mr. Kasson, however, succeeded in conyiaci’ g the ooavoution that any other conse than adoption of the weight itself would be the continual cause of errors, and floally | suceseded in securing the adoption of the French metri- jiform systom, the great ob ject of the convention was to make postal communication ‘heaper throughout the world, and in order to do this they ted a recommendation that the portion of the entire y the transit of forcign lesier across it shaH never be more than one half- of the amount charged for a local letter.- many other matters of a technical nature were considered and agreed upon, and the general result of the labors of the convention will be the simplification ‘an: uniformity of postal arrangements, as well aga con. siderab!e reduction in postage. The reply of Austria to the last propositions of England abd irance on tho Polish question is expected to be re- colved in @ day or two. It is as weil undorstood that this will be favorable as it is that the reply of tho Czar, when the combined represoutations of the three Powers are presented, will be unfavorable.

Since | thou, indeed, be has dono his utmost to encourage it and | keep it alive, not only by *moral’? but by material as. | si-tauce, in the shape of money, munitions of war and officers, some of whom had nominally retired from the | French service, while others had merely received leave | of absence, which they employed in exoursions to the Samatian forest.

Apropos of these secret lenders, it should be noticed that the provisional or national government, of which wo read 80 much in the West European press, and which haa {ts nominal seat at Warsaw, where i¢ con- stantly eludes all tho efforta of the Ruasian police to discover its invisible but omnipotent members, is in reality established at Cracow, on Austrian territory, and receives ite instructions from Prince Ladisles Czartoryaki (King Ladisles the Fifth, son‘or old King Adam the First).

Many of its members—for the staff of the committee is frequently changed—are or were weil known individuals who bave played a'conspiouons part in the late events—for ‘instauce, Frankowski, who had the chief command at the first outbreak, but was wounded and captured soon after at Sendonni, and hag since been @ prisoner in the citadel of Warsaw; his. brother-in-law, Nicholas Kostein, now on his way toSiberia; Borowski, who was killed in @ duel with one of his compatriots in Prussian Poland; Padiewski, who was shot the other day at Piatzk, &c.

He further asked what had been the-rosult of the remonstrances made to the United States government by her Maje-ty's Minister at Washing- tov against the seizure of British vessels engaged in logit- mate commorce. The noble Marquis recapitulated the c mplaints which he made a few weeks ago in reference to the proceedings of the American cruisera, contend! tbat they wero in contravention of | internati Iaw, and that it was the duty of her Majesty’s govern- ment to reinforce the North American squadron, #0 a to afford ndequate protcction to our morohantmen #He also urged that the seizures which were being made by the. federal fleet were for the purpose of maintaining the bleckade, but of do- Fp ee 9 if possible, ® large and legiti British trade which bad sprung up with Nassau and slatamoros. He altogeher denicd the efficiency.of of the Southern porta, and said it no! to be recoymized by her Majes'y’s government, He read a letter from a Lancashire man turer, giving details in reference to four steam merchant vessels which bad successfully run the blockade of Charleston seventeen times in the course.of one month, conveying £120,000 worth of British goods into Charleston, and taking Out £200,000 worth of cotton. The noble Marquis, im conclusion, complained that the Ariadne and other ships had employed in contra- vention of international law in convoying certain vessels had allogetheromitted bil Seren peolecnion tea io they ton ‘Farl Rusax.t eaid the statements of the noble Marquis were inconsistent, inasmuch as he declared that the ves- sels he desired to protect were engaged in an innocent trade, while in the same breath he admitted that numer- ous British veasols were carrying on a profitable trade in running the blockade. The attention of the government had beon drawn to one or two recent cases of seizure, and ‘bo bad written to Lord Lyons upon the subject, directing him to ipform the. American government that it was ovi- dent that gome of the ships which had been seized wero trading with neutral ports, and that a slrong impression prevailed in this country that they had been seized in a reckiess mahner.
