It is now stated that Prince Gortchakoff was pre- matare in the publication of the letter, It appears that M. Thiers, during his recent visit to St. Peters- burg, stated to the Russian Minister that France had long since regarded the Treaty of Paria of 1856 as being unjust in its provisions towards Russia, just &s the Treaty of 1815 was to France, M. Thiers ex- Pressed his surprise that Russia Nad not set the Treaty of 1856 aside before this time. He assured Priuce GortchakoM that everybody im France was Dow, as always, prepared to see snd to consent to a abrogation, ; ‘. PUBLIG EXCITEMENT AND THE CIRCULAR. The declaration of M. Thiers had excited the pub- lc mind mm Russia to such an extent that it is cer- tain that if Prince Gortchakoff nad not published the circular he would have been superseded by Count ignaties, the present Minister of the Czar in Constantinople, who is a pet favorite of the Musco- vite party in Russia, Prince Gortchakof came out and “showed his hand” in order to save his plage, bur the popularity of the movemement prevents him now from “back- ‘tHg out” of lis position.

These will, 1s to be hoped, tend to @ pacifio solution. In this hope I ‘will not venture to pronounce, as a diplomatist, any opinion upon the question that forms the object of @eliberations which are stil open. This considera. tion, you will perceive, prevents me from more freely entering into the subject of your inquiries at the present. moment, since to do so would not only be contrary to ‘he usages and rules of the imperial service of Russia, but might alsg entail especial inconveniences. Under these peculiar circumstances T fully appreciate the good sentiments leading you to meke your. inquiries, but to-day can only repeat that it 1s hoped the action of the Cabinets will make possible the preservation of Peace, ““ PRUSSIA’S POSITION.

WESTON'S WALK AND COLLAPSE. Ho Struggles Bravely Till Evening—The Effort Entirely in Behalf of Scicuce—Interest Taken in Him by the Scientific Savans~ An Experiment by the Doctors and Weston’s Acquiescence. Not even the roast turkey and all the other good things that were going in such plenty yesterday could Keep the crowds from gathering at the up- town rink to see Weston, the great pedestrian, in his battle with his brain and his muscle in attempt- ing to perform the feat of walking 112 miles in twenty-four hours, Notwithstanding the fact that he had had scarcely an hour's sleep elther Tuesday or Wednesday night, and that bis entire sys tem was, therefore, constderably impaired for the herculean task he was engag:d in, yet he came to the line punctually at a quarter-past ten o'clock yeaterday morning, and, with cheerful courage, gaily set out on nis twenty-four hougs journey. He had already, during the earlier hours of the morntng—from ene to three e’clock— Got over Hftecn miles without the slightest physical inconventence; but when the rest came after that it was beginning to be evident that he could net longer continue at his work without the refresh. ment of asound sleep, which by no means seemed likely to favor him, Yet during the day he had Scarcely ever walked better, and more than ever indulged in HI8 FAVORITE sPURTS, doing the circle at times in even iess than 1:20, Wich Was extraordinary good time for a third day's performance. On these occasions the audience ‘Was loud 1n its applause, and, to say the truth, no ehance was lost by the spectaters, all of whom were Of the more respectable class, to encourage the pedestrian in his efforts. Weston seemed always ta appreciate this kindness, and did his honest best to test the biem which was at issue and which was occupying the minds of several prominent medical and scientitic men who Were present, Weston’s walk on this occasion was not for the purpose of performing a pedestrian feat 80 much as to make himself, by the WEAR AND TEAR OF HIS BODY to the extremest extent, the subject for screntificjex- periment for the benefit of humanity. Tnis was an acknowledged fact by the scientific men in atiend- ance, who watched almost every puisation of the pedestrian with anxiety, and eagerly chronicled It for luture analysis and consideration. Among the most prominent scientific men present was Professor Doremus, who took especial interest in the result of the over-strain on Weston's body and mind, and who has accumulated from the three Gays’ exertions a large number ot facts trom which he will be able to prepare a settled opinion on sev- eral of the disputed scientific questions ta similar connections. ‘The fact that Weston was thus lend- ing his ald so far as in him lay to the advancement of medical and scientific truths had “much to do with executing for him the GRAET SYMPATHY OF THR AUDIENCE, and attracted to the Rink several of our best known citizens during the way and evening. Among them was Judge Bedford, Mr. Stoughton and ladles, Pro- fessor Doremnus’ family, Mille, Nilsson, Ole ull and wife, Mr, Grinnell, Professor Barker, Leonard Je- rome and several others distinguished in their va- rious professions. During the day Weston walked briskly aud showed no signs by which it mighi be Ralely conjectured that he would not be able to hold out; but towards evening @ dizziness set in, which at once settled the questien as to the feat of the 112 miles in twenty-four hours.

But he always pluckily resumed his task, a few times, indeed, with SUCH A VIM AND COURAGE that hopes were entertained that his faintness would saway. Near eight o'clock, however, he was seized with a longer weakness than any he had had yet, and it was deemed advisable tu let the audience know how matters stood. Professor Doremus, who was always by his side on these occasions, then addressed the spectators, who were eageriy crowding around the judges’ stand, and said that, rememvering bow nobly Mr. Weston was doing his best to ald in diffusing tenth and knowledge by submicting to tne ordeal he was then goimg througn in the interest of science, the sympathies of the audience should be completely with him.

Protessor Doremus, Dr. Flint and pr. Strew then held AC TION, and after aconsiflerabic pause tt was announced that Weston would again take the track, He came out leaning on the arm of a frend, and merely walked around the rink rather slowly. when, with- out finishing tre complete circle, he again entered the room, and was at once ed in the care of the physicians, and the audience quiety dispersed. It 1s belteved that the meciieal men prescribed a remedy for him whici at ouce procnred him rest.

The Miuister ays With regard to the new efforts which are now veing prosecuted and made to effect an armistice, so far a3 we are concerned, being still faithfal to our rights, we remain in the same dispo- sition as we did at the moment when the former ne- gotiations on the same suject were undertaken. We maintain as the basis of an armistice the right of re- victualling Paris and the holding of a general Mamentary election all over France. We have rea- son to beileve that his Excellency Conat Bisms has an intention to suggest to the neutral Pow and to advance as an argument against their ceptance @ new proposition to the effect that we elections can be held withont an armistice. The French gevernment has declared already that it could not accept this; but it is of impertance to the service that you should be fully advised of the reasons why the executive arrived at tls decision, thus:—France is for the moment in aris over the whole territory, a pertion of which is now occupied by the armies of an enemy. All the able-bodied men of the French nation are in the field, either scat- tered In the regiments of the regular army or mus- tered in separate corps, or as volunteers in the battahons ef the Francs-tireurs. In the world out- side the ranks of the army the French electors, ora very great portion of them at least, are far from their homes and places of reguiar residence. How, then, could @ legal, peaceable election be possible according to the frdnchise which regulates a uai- versal suffrage? ‘The federal government earnestly desires the e!ec- tion of a parliamentary Constituent Assembly, the deliberations of which would contribute to smooth away our present diMcuities and tend toward the attainment of a general pacification—a result whicn it has never ceased to be our ardent wish to realize. ‘The government of national defence in Pars has been unanimous in refusing the terms hitherto offered by Prussia, and we hope that the neutral Powers, in their own interests as in ours, will come to the saine concluston and approve our course.
