POSTSCRIPT.

The Paris correspondent of the Post (second
edition writes:—

I believe I am correct in stating that the French
Government has used every effort to prevent those un-
happy complications which have led to the suspension of
diplomatic relations between England and America. The
Government of the Emperor will, I understand, combine
to exercise its good offices in the same spirit of recon-
ciliation, and should the two nations be found engaged in
actual war, no doubt England may reckon on the active
alliance of France.

Advices from St. Petersburg state that the Emperor
of Russia has empowered the Minister of Finance to
grant passports, without previously submitting the
applications for the same to a Council of Ministers,
to merchants desirous of forming branch establish
ments abroad.

Prince Gortschakoff, who had come to Vienna to
present his letters of recal, has again left for St.
Petersburg.

Intelligence from Paris states that the rains had
recommenced again heavily, fresh inundations bad
occurred in the valleys of the Rhone and Loire, and
the accounts received were most distressing.

aide decamps, Captain Teesdale and Captain
Churchill, arrived in Paris on Thursday morning.

Stourdza has been appointed a member of the Bes-
sarabian Commission.

The Bourse Gazette of Berlin states that the
difference which exists between the Baden Govern-
ment and the Holy See is on the point of being
arranged. The Baden Government has listened to
propositions, the adoption of which would not only
terminate the present subject of dispute, but prevent
similar differences for the future.
General de la Marmora arrived at Turin on the
night of the 91st May. He was received at the rail-
way station by the Ministers, the municipality, and a

cheered as he got into his carriage, and all along the
streets as he drove home. It is said that the 15th
has been fixed on for the distribution of the Crimean
