PARIS, Area. 7.

La Nation of this evening ova

" France, England, and Anetria have come to
an understanding and sent separately to St. Faker
burg notes identical in sense."
The same journal adds :
" The powers have in their mews carefully
avoided anything resembling pressure, leaving it
to the Our 'to take the initiative in the measures
calculated definitely to put an end to the periodical
risings, so disquieting for Europe and so disastrous
for Russia."

• THE THRONE OF GREECE.
COPENHAGEN, Ana 7.

The Dagbladet of to-day, in its revie w of the
week, publishes another article hostile to the candi-
dature of Prince Wilhelm, which concludes thus :
" We must not forget that Europe and Greece do
not render any service to Denmark in choosing a
Danish prince for the vacant throne. Should Den-
mark accept the election, it is she who extricates
both parties from embarrassment. Unquestionably,
therefore, we are perfectly justified in making such
conditions as, while assuring our right, shall at the
same time secure the tranquillity and equilibrium
of Europe. In accepting our terms Europe would,
obtain a king for Grecoe, and would put an end to
the Schleswig-Holstein question."
The conditions under which, according to the
Dagbladet, the Greek crown is to be accepted are :
The guarantee of the independence at Denmark by
the Great Powers ; assistance to maintain order in
the monarchy for that purpose ; renewal of the
guarantees for the possession of Schleswig by
Denmark, as obtained in 1720 ; and the neutrality
of Holstein.

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALLiN OPERA.
The Covent Garden season began last evening
with Use eclat so worth? of this snot establishment The

opera was Masanielle, pa rfarmsdwith so elimination at the
splendour and maptikerice which distinguished its foci pro-
duction at this theatre. The performance presented various
novelties of cast and other points which call for notice ; but
as the curtain did not fall till part midnight, we must defer
entering into particular details, aid content means with
observing that the theatre, newly-p minted and decorated,
looked bright and cheerful ; that though the audience was
110 i so crowded and brilliant as it usually in at the height of
the season, yet the house was much faller than might have I
been averted at at. time when so large a portion of the
fashionable world is stall absent from town ; that
Naltain, who appeared for the tires time in the pert el
' ltaanidlo, anrinined the character, both dramatically ask
vocal/. is • Own/ which did honour to his talent', and
obtained for him a highly and deservedly famozable reap-
tics ; that Y. Faure was also very succonhd in the
rof Pieta, in which be, too, appeared for
first time; that Ned-Baraldi sang with his nand
senores, and acted as Ira as the feeble and insipid part
Of Alfonso would allow him to do—a remark which may
Buena be applied te Mlle. Mori Itattn's performance ef
.111vba ; and that the character of the dumb girl Peaells,
the real heroine of the prise, was beautifully regimented
by Wl's. Salvino', an exquisite minis, whom speaking
' gestures completely supplied the place of language. The
superb cad graphic °bermes, and brilliant arohistral parts,
were executed as wells" possible ; and Ather's chef dcrusrs,
we are convinced, could not have been heard and men to
pester advantage In say theatre In Europe.
