PARIS, Sumn•Y ETIOTINO.
M. de Pereigny, the Preach ambassador, arrived
here yesterday from London, and, after a long
reefer's, with the Emperor, left immediately for
England.
M. Seebeck, the Saxes ambsmador in Paris, and
the son-in-law of the Russian Chancellor, Count de
Neesekale, had audience of the Emperor yesterday,
at 2 o'clock. Hs is immediately going to Dresden,
sad a report is circulated that from: Dresden be will
proceed to St. Petersburg, to communicate to the Cser
the result of his yesterday's interview with Na-
pless 111.
The Pairis gives the following (apparently semi.
ellsial) oontradiotion to some news lately circulated
in foreign journals:
Certain correepoadeats of fotaiga *rush have thought
It to give enemas, to rumours relative to Anemia mea-
sures whim's, it is pretended, the neigh Government is on
the eve of taking. They talk of new taxes upon tobacco,
salt, sc. We have made it a point to seeertain what foun-
dation, if say, there may be for these reports, sad it results,
from the positive information which we have obtained, that
they are wholly untrue. Malevolence alone can for the
future ssoept sad propagate merles whisk have all the ohs-
reaterienes of false news.
The following note, written in favour of Austria,
appears in the Patric :
Oar Vienna correspondent seeds as seine diplomatic
information about the affair of the disarming. There has
been a report that explanations on the subject have been
denuded from the Emperor Freacis Joseph. Oar cep
respondent slime that se rush explanations ea& have been
wind for, bemuse Aglaia geve them voluntarily befote-
head. According to his Information, the disarming does
sot imply any weakening of the military forces of Austria,
bemuse a few weeks would math to put the army @gala
upon a war fooling.
The explanation now prominently put forth by the
Patric is not new, for the Austrian journals in Ger-
many, France, and Belgium have said the same
thing repeatedly within the last few days. The
paragraph, however, has its importance as a confirm-
ation of the news that remonstrances have really been
made, and as evidence that the Court of Austria is
pressed for an answer. Extraordinary efforts are
now being made to accredit the opinion in Europe
that Austria really means to march with as.
The Archbishop of Paris has ordered the cure of
ivory parish in his diocese to open a depot for the
reception of old clothes, damaged or worn-out furni-
ture, and broken victuals for the nee of the poor.
The Press. gamin its weekly commercial review :
The fears which have been entertaiued of the results of I
the mother's taken by the Bosh of France within the last
two months are gradually disappearing. Trade is far from
active, but so mach caution ha been energised, that the
aggregate of bills payable at the end of December will not
be formidable.
