THE PRESS.

as the quintessence of Jesuitism, and a parody in
action of the fable of the wolf and the lamb. No
one denies it is ingenious and subtle, but its pacific
tendency scarcely excels the violence of the arts pre-
paring on the part of Russia. if the Czar is follow-
ing out a traditional idea of Catherine IL, and finds
the moment propitious to his loug-cherished
family views, little does it signify whether the cause
be just or not. His brother was not named Con-
stantine from caprice.

The differences between France and the Republic
of Ecuador have been settled. Admiral Despoint
entered the river Uuayaquil, and obtained the satis-
faction France had demanded.
Mention is made of the armament of two vessels
at Toulon. The levy of sailors, which has been de-
creed by the Minister of Marine, will furnish a
contingent of 4,000 men.
The Friedland, of 110 guns, has left Toulon to
join the French squadron in the Dardanelles. She
will take the place of the Montebello, which will
return to Toulon.
The greatest activity prevails in the dockyard at
Cherbourg, in fitting out a number of ships to form a
Channel squadron, to act in co-operation with that of
the English, in case of their sere ices being required.
The funeral obsequies of the late M. Garibaldi,
the Pope's Nuncio, took place in Paris on Tuesday,
with great ceremony. The pallbearers were two of
the Cabinet Ministers, and the Ministers of Prussia
and Belgium. Lord Cowley, the English Ambas-
sador, acted as chief mourner.

SAXON Y.
The mar►iage of the Prince Albert of Saxony with
the Princess Carola of Wasa was celebrated on Satur-
day last in the cathedral of Dresden. The King on
the occasion of it has granted an amnesty, with three
exceptions, to the soldiers condemned for having
taken part in the insurrection of May.

AUSTRIA.
A false report that the Russians had crossed the
l'ruth, and had entered the Danubian principality of
'Moldavia, was circulated in Vienna at the close of
'Change on the 14th. A licensed broker was severely
called to account for having promulgated it, and,
though he gave up his authorities, will probably be
further punished for the transgression. One of the
great dealers, and a gentleman connected with the
foreign press, were mentioned as implicated in the
affair. The juiseur in question is said to have made
a good job of it. Other rumours equally false, or, at
all events, premature, have repeatedly obtained cur-
rency, to the effect that Russia had either sought,
obtained, or accepted Austrian mediation for the
settlement of the Turkish dispute. The belief in the
probability of such an arrangement prevails still in
Vienna and Paris.
Lord Carlisle has passed through Vienna en route
for Constantinople. He purposes travelling by way
of l'esth and down the Danube. Special letters for
passage safety were given by the Russian Minister in
Vienna to his lordship and Major-General Sir C.
O'Donnell, who accompanies him on his journey,
addressed to all the Russian authorities whom they
might encounter by the way. Lord Carlisle is said to
be the bearer of definitive instructions to Lord Strat-
ford de Redcliffe.

sequence of the great extension of the commercial
relations between the two countries.
The negotiations begun by the Minister of Com-
merce, to obtain the accession of the Hanseatic towns
to the Zollverein, have proved without success.
Major-General Count Charles Bentinck left Berlin
on Monday, after a most courteous reception by their
Majesties, and with every hope of his long-contested
lawsuit being soon decided in his favour.
