Never in such an affair have public credulity and the interests of exhibitors been moro audaciously abused. Russia is still tho country in which contractors were for years paid for hundreds of miles of railway which never existed. The right to enter tho exhibition containing French products of great value now rests in the hands e.f a single man.

It will le fortunate if the exhibitors, after intrusting their treasure to men of fc scruples, find themselves in tho end recoujied for the carri.vge,tho Customs duties, the charge for space, and other expenses. It is strange to see this exhibition organized by Frenchmen, who toast of having first established rolitical and leligious liLcrtv, in a country which is now giving the spectacle of religious j.orsecution.

Our Oien Corrcsporidciif. THE FRENCH EXHIBITION IN MOSCOW. l'ARIS. Mat 28. The famous French Exhibition at Moscow, for which the sham patriotic fever which serves.as a screen for enterprises littlo worthy of respect and interest had been worked up, is now beginning to show itself in its truo light, namely, as the enterprise of a few individuals who have traded on the credulity or ambitions of artless politicians who fancy that thoy may play a grand role by encouraging and elefending that Frnncei Uussian alliance which has never existed, and will probably Irinj on imprudent French enthusiasm fresh disillusions.

The affair began by men of some standing being conveneel ami by their being led to believe that this Moscow Exhibition, organized solely by France ami for Frenchmen, would lead to rublic demonstrations in Hussia. would open Hussian markets to French products, was not ditlicult to foresee. Such anticipations havo beon realized. Scarcely was the name of tho Due do Brogue known when bitter attacks arose on every side, and it was easy to seo that if tho choice was maintained which seemed probable, as the committee's decisions are very rartly nullified by tho Academy and Institute a vcritablo thunderstorm would be aroused. It was under thcso circumstances that tho Academy assembled to day to vote upon this question.

Hut at the lieginning of tho sitting tho permanent secretary read a letter from tho Due ilo Uroglie, in which ho said that ho felt much honoured by tho spontaneous choice of tho committee, but that he could not accept the flattering distinction unless the Academy, as usual, unanimously approved tho committee choice. At, however, several of his colleagues had intimated their intention of opposing thejdecision, and as the Press had announced this without assigning tho real reasons, he bogged tho Academy to select a name worthier of its choico and less mixed up in politics. The letter was coldly received. Tho committee thereupon resigned, and a fresh committee was appointed. Our Oioi Correspon'lent.

Much waa made, for instance, of the fact that the Russian Minister of Finance transmitted to the French Minister for Foro'gn Affairs a decree by which the Czar authorized the opening of a French Exhibition at Moscow. A simple notification given by the French Foreign OSice to intending exhibitors was represented also as an official recognition by France.

Neither of these formalities involved any official recognition by either Government, and from beginning to end the Exhibition was tha enterprise of a few who, keeping into trouble.

She received numerous replies, and introduced herself to her dupes, under various names, either as an Englishwoman or at an American and the widow of an American general.
