ODOM Sit oosuarraszn, OF VII DAILY DM A.)
• PARIS, T9l/DAY ETZNINO.

Contradisker.liimatches on the subject of the
adjournmeat of tie Conferences have been received
from Vienna. One dated yesterday, April 2, even-
ing, says:—" The Conference at its eighth sitting,
held to-day, adjourned to after Easter." But another
more explicit, and dated this day, April 3, is in the
following words :—" In the sitting of the Con-
ference yesterday it was agreed that the decision
on the third and fourth points should be ad-
journed until the arrival of M. Drosyn de Lhnys at
Vienna. Immediately on the arrival of the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs, the deliberations on the
third point will be re-opened." The latter version
is probably the correct one, although, if Easter be
understood to mean Easter Sunday, the difference
only amounts to a couple of working days. It is
calculated that M. Dronyn de Lhuys will arrive at
Vienna to-morrow (Wednesday), and Good Friday
being a disc non, there would remain but Thursday
and Saturday in this week. These two days are,
however, precious, and, if it be true, as the C,onstitu-
tionstel has repeatedly affirmed, that the question of
peace or war will be decided by April 8, they must
not be lost.

I hear it said in a quarter often well informed, that
the main part of the ultimatum sent by M. Dronyn
de Lhuys is really the destruction of the fortress of
Sebastopol. He is instructed, it is said, to insist that
the erection of forts at Sinope and Varna would be
bat a source of future trouble, instead of a solid coun-
terbalance to Russian power in the Euxine, and, in-
stead of proposing that the Black Sea shall be open
to ships of war of all nations, he will, I
am told, offer to shut it up entirely by
treaty against the navies of the whole world,
leaving it free as a commercial lake for merchant-
men only. Ido not by any means send you this as
an authentic piece of news, it being, in my opinion,
more likely that my informant should be misinformed
than that the precise nature of M. Dronyn de Lhuys'
mission should have transpired.
" The Imperial yacht, the Reine Hortense," says
the Sentinelk of Toulon," will have all her fittings
completed in time to reach Boulogne on the 15th, to
be at the disposal of their Majesties."
At the Bourse the Rente opened 20c. lower than
yesterday in consequence of the weakness of Consols,
but after some not very important fluctuations it rose
to 70fr. 5c., being an improvement of So. on the day.
Railways, on the contrary, opened well and finished
heavily, it being found that a great many shares were
delivered to effect the settlement. Northern, Eastern,
end Lyons and Mediterranean were chiefly affected
by these operations, and fell, the two first sfr., and the
latter lOfr. Orleans rose sfr. The Stollberg
Mines were in some demand, and improved
25fr. Rumours of the destruction of the Malak-
Koff tower were in circulation all day ; but they
are probably but the echoes of an April fool story.
The latest news from Sebastopol almost always
comes by way of St. Petersburg. General Canro-
bert's despatch, in this morning's Monileur, is dated
March 22, while that of Osten-Sacken, published in
' the Daily News of yesterday, comes down to the
night of 22 and 23.
