PARIS, Tom:my Evicsitma.

I understand that Pr4nce Mettewn ich, the Austrian
ambassador, yesterday assured M. Drouyn de Lhuys
that if Jutland was not yet evacuatei. by the in-
vading army it very shortly would be. The im-
pression has prevailed all to-day that the aspect
of this particular phase of the war was less menacing
than it has been lately considered. Nevertheless,
funds come weaker from Vienna, and it seems to
be certain that the telegraphic statement in then/ries
of Monday morning (and which obtained credence
here from its being quoted by the Monifenr) that
Jutland had been actually evacuated was not at the
time true. Up to this hour there is no confirmation
of it. The semi-official journals continue to dwell
upon the dissensions between Prussia and Austria,
and speak with marked tenderness of the latter
power. The Pays seems to wish either to incul-
cate an opinion that England is, after all, going to
war, or to stimulate her to do so. It sets forth,
conspicuously and separately, three bits of news
from London, all tending towards more active in-
terference on behalf of Denmark. Lord Russell,
it says, will probably resign on account of differ-
ences with Lord Palmerston ; then Lord and
Lady Palmerston gave a grand dinner on
Saturday, at which the absence of the Prus-
sian and Austrian Ambassadors is said to
be much remarked ; lastly, the Marquis of
Clanricarde's manifesto, stigmatising the invasion
of Denmark as the worst thing that has been
done in Europe since the partition of
Poland, is represented as highly important, because
the writer is "a devoted friend and partisan of Lord
Palmerston." The France says that when the news
of the invasion of Jutland became known in
Copenhagen • council was held in Stockholm, at
which several ministers proposed that a Swedish
squadron should be sent to Gothenburg in Case the
Austro-Prussians should occupy Frederioia.
A despatch from Hamburg, dated this day,
affirms that a great many superior officers of the
Austrian army in Sleswig are leaving to reinforce
the army of Italy.
There has been much hesitation at the Bourse,
but quotations left off firm, Rente rising lbc. and
10c., and Mobilise 22fr. 00c. Railways are from
2fr. 50c. to sfr. higher.
Mrs. Dayton gave a grand ball at the American
embassy last night on the occasion of Washington's
birthday, which was attended by the Rite of Ameri-
can society in Paris, and a great many of the Corps
Diplomatique. Among the company were Lord
Cowley, the Hon. Mr. Grey, the Austrian and
Prussian Ambassadors, the Persian Ambassador,
and the representative of Chili. Mr. Dayton was
unfortunately prevented from appearing in the
drawing-rooms by one of those severe colds which
are almost epidemical in Paris during this pro-
tracted winter season ; but notwithstanding this
mishap, dancing was kept up with great spirit till
four in the morning.

TEM Bkrrii or Auerzatrrz.—A German cor-
respondent calls our attention to a statement contained is
our leading article on Saturday, that the victory M
Austerlitz was woo by the Fres& °vie the Amitrime nod
Prwriaos. It arm of course a misprint, Prussians being pat
for Boriass. Everybody knows that Preemie woe at tbat
