SAT1TRDASY AFTERNOON.
We have received intelligence, not second in importance to that which we were enabled to bring first before the English reader some weeks back when we announced the Russian proposal of a Congress. We have since perused many speculations as to the future conduct of Russia and others, as to the reserves which the Emperor Napoleon maintained. Some have anticipated that Russia would, after all, be found taking part with Austria. Others, that the Emperor Napoleon had certain arriares pennies separate from the policy on which he had consulted Russia. We had, however, observed the conduct of both Powers—of Russia in her consistent support of Sardinia and the many traits of her good will towards that state, and of France, in testimony to the frankness with which she had reciprocated the counsel of her Northern ally.
We are now, however, enabled to state that we have the strongest grounds for believing a close and intimate understanding on the present juncture, and all that it involves, to exist between France and Russia.
