Goitobakoff was about to present his creden-
tials to the Emperor Francis Joseph as perma-
sent Russian plenipotentiary at Vienna, the
English Cabinet proposed to declare that if
Prince Gortchakoff were received in that character,
the French and English Governments would be
under the painful necessity of leaving themselves
represented at Vienna by simple chargé. d'afaires,
but that the French Emperor, who clung to the
alliance of December 2, came to the rescue, and pro-
posed that those frank and direct questions
should be put to Austria, to which it seems
she has since given what are accepted as satis-
factory answers. The substance of the above has,
I believe, already appeared in print. But I believe
it is not known that during the military negotiations
Austria intimated that she could not carry on war:on
the Russian frontier without an army of a million of
men, of which she proposed that France and England
should find half. Napoleon 111. thought this num-
ber a great deal more than was necessary, but offered
a contingent of 300,000. Austria adhered to her
original proposition (which, by the way, it is difficult
to believe serious), and upon this the negotiations
broke off. Thereupon it was that the Emperor re-
solved to go to the Crimea himself, in order to show
clearly that he intended to isolate his policy from
that of Austria. All the remonstrancem of the dif-
ferent representatives of the Powers of Europe in
Paris against this project would, the Constitutionnel
says, have been in vain, had not the Emperor Francis
Joseph written an autograph letter protesting his
firm resolution always to march cordially with France,
and representing how much the dangers of the pro-
jected journey to the East weighed upon all minds,
seeing that Napoleon 111. now belonged not only to
his own country, but to all Europe. This, the Con-
stitutionnel says, is textual.

The glorious news from the Crimea produced a
great effect at the Bourse. The Bente opened with
a rise of nearly a franc, and after a reaction to 67fr.
10c., occasioned it is said by the execution of orders
to sell from the provinces which were in the hands of
the brokers, recovered, and closed at 67fr. 30c. with
a rise of 700. This was for cash. For the account
the rise was ltr. 150. Credit Mobilier rose 80fr., and
Austrian railways, 21fr. 25e. In French railways
there was very little movement.
Galignani gives the following account of a terrible
accident on the Versailles Railway :

A most lamentable accident occurred last evening oa tbe
Versailles (Left Bank) Railway. About a quarter past
seven o'clock, close to the goods yard at Vaugirard, a pas-
sengers' train coming to Paris was, by a false movement of
the switches, directed on the ha* of rails leading to the
yard; and on its way came against another train ready-
prepared for starting. One waggon was crushed to pieces
by the shock, and another greatly injured ; and we regrat
to say that by the collision sine persons were killed, and
seventeen wounded. Every a!tention was paid by the
employis of the railway to the persons injured, who, in the
coarse of the evening, were conveyed to their places of
residence.

The Patric says that two or three carriages were
crushed by the &bock, and that among the nine
persons killed wu an infant only eighteen days old,
who was killed in its mother's arms. She escaped
with a broken limb, and the father, who wu sitting
opposite, wu merely slightly bruised. The Pro-
cureur Imperial has visited the scene of the acci-
dent, and • severe judicial inquiry is instituted.
The left bank of the Versailles Railway has been
singularly unfortunate, many dreadful accidents
having occurred upon it within the space of a few
years.

The International Statistical Congress opened its
sittings to-day, in the Palace of the Corps Legislatif,
The Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public
Works presided and made an inauguration speech,
thanking, in the name of the Emperor, those go-
vernments which had sent official representatives to
this "peaceful arena," and also those nations who
had furnished so many voluntary coadjutors. Dwell-
ing at length upon the object of the con-
gress, he stated that over and above the
attributes for which it commonly had credit, the
glory of the science of statistics was that it discovered
and showed forth those general laws which tended to
make men better and happier. The business of the
meeting was confined to voting the regulations of its,
subsequent sittings.
A correspondence in the Pearie contradicts the
telegraphic report of Count Nesselrode being about to
travel, and affirms that he has no intention of leaving
St. Petersburg.

nounces the arrival of the Jourdain with Constant'.

By Imperial decree of the 29th ult., a supple-
mentary credit of 44,563,885 fr., is opened to the
Minister of Finance for the year 1855. Of the
amount, 10,249,593 fr. are to be employed in the pay-
ment of interest on the Foir-sod-a-Half per Cent.

Rests, and 32,338,174 fr. for that of the Three per',
Cent.; the remainder is required for the Poet Mee.
In a recent sitting of the Council-General of the
Dordogne, a report wee read announcing that from
inquiries instituted, the yield of wheat, rye, and wheat
and rye combined, presents a deficit of about 30 pee
oent. on an average year; but that, on adding the
stock in hand and the autumn crops, there will be
sufficient to feed the population. In the Council-
General of the Loiret, it has been reported that the
yield of wheat is 20 per cent. below that of an ordi-
nary year; that of wheat and rye, 48 per cent. below;
that of rye, 24 per cent. below; but the crop of barley,
is stated to be 10 par cent. bighee than the mop,

hold have been lately circulating in the political
would both with regard to the present disposition of
Russia, and the new intentions of At:stria. Accord-
ing to the first, the Cabinet of St. l'etersburg, inclin-
ing towards peace, is indirectly seeking to renew ne-
gotiations. On the other WA, some people nay that
the Cabinet of Vienna is preparing for an evolution
which will lead Austria to associate herself more ac-
tively with the policy of the Western Powers, and to
give them the aid of her arms. All these versions,
says the Constasitionnel, "invented by interest and
repeated by credulity," are founded on no serious
basis. Six weeks ago, it continues, we described the
diplomatic situation, and stated that this situation
threatened to continue unchanged, until some decisive
military events should exercise an influence either on
the determination of Austria or the resolutions of
Russia. What we then predicted is now being fel-
' filled, and the Eastern question remains precisely
r where it was, with this difference only, that our arms
have made snob indisputable progress as promises
, them a speedy triumph.
Another of the long series of the Constitutionnel
Vienna letters appears to-day, and gives some inte-
resting retrospective accounts of the negotiations be-
