A DIPLOMATIC PRISONER.

A correspondent in the East writes :—" A very
yoeog and pleasing Russia. dicer wee lately made primmer
by the English, and by hie engaging mason very soon
I became a great favourite. He is very sersomplished, appear
to have a Rood supply of sash, and with great dexterity
avails himself of every opportunity to Satter the English ;
at the suns time he cleverly takes every chance of umlaut-
ing something or other derogatory to the French; sad evi-
dently does all in his power to create a bad feeling between
the allies ; and with some skill shows what wonder they
would do as allies, assuring hie amnion that the Russians,
to a man, an fond of the Baldish. This gentleman has
bees nut to England. I have heard of several other pri-
soners who have anal nearly the same. It hes often struck
me when is company with this sort of Russian prisoners,
that they have bees seat Wooten intentionally by the Res.
Maas for the purpose of mating a party is their favour is
England."

PARIS, TuasoAT KIPPING.
An article in the Colutitutiontsel by M. Oranier de
Cassapiac may be safely interpreted as a semi-official
renunciation of all hope of Austria as an active ally.
The significant heading of the article is "Peace
through others or through ourselves." The Consti-
bilionnel has many timekdurinethe last twelvemonths
demonstrated the immense utility of the Austrian
alliance, and has as often affirmed that the alliance
would certainly become operative. But now that
the grapes are sour, it accommodates itself with a
ped grace to altered circumeanors, and proves very
satisfactorily, by the pen of M. de Cassagnac, that we
us much better without Austria than with her. The
military co-operation of Austria would, says the
Oresstitsdieresel, be undoubtedly the shortest way to a
peso, uses specially if it carried with it that of the
entire Germanic confederation. It is certain that if
beds, with the Crimea invaded, the Danu-
bian province occupied, Bessarabia threatened,
and St. Petersburg itself blockaded by the
allied fleets, were to find besides a hostile
army of 600,000 men on her southern and eastern
frontiers, she would speedily conclude a peace for
which she loop as it is, although she tries her best to
make a hard bargain. But then the Constitutionnel,
speaking according to the new light which has sud-
denly burst upon its councils, looks upon this short
cut to race as nothing worth, except in the eyes of
short-sighted egotists, impatient persons, and men
who have bills coming due at a short date. But the
real golden road to peace, the road which, although
perhaps a little, but after all not much longer, is quite
as sure, is this:
After having Immolated the demolition of Sebastopol by
cannon abet, to muolish ourselves solidly on all the plots
wooled ; to occupy others also, if masonry ; one"
installed in the enemy's country, to keep gaud in the
Black Sea and the ma of A:off with a flotilla and several
steam (tiptoe ; to despatch in the spring the combined

Russia to soh foe passe as conditions entirely satisfactory
for the pleated smiths fatale.
This plea *anodes in a remarkable manner with
that which was attributed to the French government
a day or two since by the Indepaidarice Beige. It is
not very dignified, for it assumes that we shall quietly
acquiesce in Austria's backing out of the engagement
to which the governments fancied they bad bound

At the opening of the bourse t=tra made some
%yeast* attempts to keep down the Nate, but their
efforts were ineffectual. The eztraudinary demand
for railway shares produced an upward movement
which was irresistible. The Three per Cents. closed
at 69.90 with a rise of 40e. The Lyons and Mediteo
rune railway, which rose 25f. yesterday, realised a
further improvement of 351. today. This line be.
risen 250 f. within the last siz weeks, and is still in
great demand. Eastern rose 201., Lyons 16f., Orleans
