RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

PETERSBURG, May 18'
It is stated that a telegram from Baron v°:
Brunnow, the Russian ambassador at London,
been received by the Russian Governmen7t
announcing that Lord T. Russell would 121° 0
likely make no opposition to an inquiry into th
situation of the Christians in the Turkish einPiie
This pretended acquiescence of England has givea
great satisfaction here.

FRANCE.
The Council of the Empire will hold its first
f
sitting on the 29th instant, when the Minister °f
Finance will have concluded the elaborate state;
ment of the Budget, which will be the first
question discussed by the Council.
It is remarked at Paris that the NesPr
litan embassy, which was most prodigal of nevi's
a few days ago, now gives none. A letter from
Marseilles states that several corn and flour 111°1;
chants of that city have received considerable
orders from Naples, but that in the present seriou'
state of-affairs they hesitate to furnish the our
plies demanded.
The Opinions Nationale of Paris reports that
a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, 11, ef.
been made between the Pope, the King of Nan:.
Austria, the Ex-Grand r
Duke of Tuscany, i

Ex-Duke of Modena, and the Ex-Duche
Parma.
The Paris correspondent of the Globe OFf4t,
it is a great mistake to suppose that Murat no 9
necessarily be the candidate of Napoleon 111. f°f
the throne of Naples. The Duke de Leuchtely
berg being both a Beauharnais and a Romanot
has far the best chance of occupying any vacant
throne in the combined gift of France a 134
Russia.
