POSTSCRIPT.

" PARIS, Thursday Evening.

"The public yearns for a Congress, but, if my information is correct, the Congress is not so near at hand as is generally imagined ; the Cabinet has certainly not yet given in the adhesion of England, and it is generally under- stood that the subject is to be discussed in a Council next Saturday [today]. The stumbling-block to a perfect understanding with France is of course the future fate of the Romagna; and it is said that a forcibly written letter of Comte Cavour to the Government entreats them not to yield on this point. "The French Government is itself desirous that the Congress should meet without any delay ; and Paris, instead of Brussels, is spoken of as the seat of the deliberations. It is said Prince Gortsehakoff is to represent Russia, in which case England would naturally send Lord John Russell, though his colleagues, it is whispered, are not anxious to renew the Vienna experi- ment."
