LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

We reed in the Austrian Gazette:

" In order to avoid all waste of time in the sp-
proaching Conferences, the Western Power, have re-
solved that the negotiation shall take place by means
of notes. At the first reunion, such stipulations as the
peace is to contain will be presented to the Russian
Plenipotentiaries in writing. No discussion upon
principles will be admitted; these conditions will be
so regulated as to respond, in each case, W a Euro-
pean interest, and most be simply adopted or refused
by the Russian Plenipotentiaries. They will thus
lona a species of ultimatum.

"In cue of soceptanoe, the propositions formu-
lated in protocol will have the force and value of
preliminaries of peace, and peace will be assured.
In case of refusal, the Conferences will be declared
at an end, but there is no reason to fear that this
will be the result. Rarely has a Congress opened
under more pacific auspices."

IMPRESS FROM PARIS.

(IRON OVA OWN

PARIS, FRIDAY RVININO.

I must again return to the subject of the publica-
tion in the Monitesir of the &fete's article, which,
owing to the paragraph in the official journal of this
morning, is more than ever upon the order of the
day.
The public knew well that no Paris journal would
venture to contradict the Monitsur except upon
official authority. And the public was right, for it is
oertain that the anstitutionnel had official, although

not the very highest official authority for what it
stated. But the practical and interesting ques-
tion is what are we to believe now that
the Monitor throws over the Conititationnel,
and says, after two days' reflection, that the
diecles articlewas notinserted by mistake? Prima
facie we might repose in entire confidence that the
French government is not only as has been said—en-
tirely united with the English government, but is
united in a determination to exact from Ramie a
peace which both nations might honourably
swept. This, however, I am bound to tell
you is not the opinion here. Official people
pledge tkeir souls that the mistake was really
committed, that another article was intended to be
inserted in the Afessiteur, and that the scissors made
a mistake; but then they say that, after much con-
sideration, the government has determined to drink
the wine that is drawn, rather than discredit the
official journal, to give satisfactory explanations to
diplomatists, and to leave the public; to think
what they like. A warning was drawn up to be
given to the Constitution:set, but it was ultimately
withdrawn. There is a talk of the resignation of M.
Waiewski, who, no doubt, furnished that journal
with its information, which is now to be deemed and
taken tales, bat the latest rumour is that an editor of
the Constactionnel will be sacrificed as the nape-

goat .°
It is said this evening that Baron Brunow has
received a telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg,
stating that the Czar has made up his mind to sacri-
fice Ricolaieff. This caws, I must observe however,
circulates in thew very official quarters where Mr.
Y., of the liadependance Bilge, drinks in his inspi-
ration, and when it is exultingly proclaimed that
the liromusur, in pretending to adopt the article of
the Sink, is only joking with the public.
The Turkish Ambanador lett Paris yesterday (it
is supposed for Lyons), to meet Asti Poch'.
One of the rumours of the day is that when the
Sitela's article appeared in the Monileur, Bacon Brunow
was about to telegraph to Count Orloff not to come
to Paris, bet that he was diverted from his purpose
by an facial SIIIIMILICO that the publication meant
nothing.
At the Bourse the general opinion was that the
apparent adoption by the Monitaur of the article of
the &eels did not prejudice the certainty of peace.
lAfter some hesitation and fluctuation, business was
decidedly brisk. The Rente rose 35c. for cub, and
100. for account, closing at 73fr. and 73fr. 3.5 c. Cre-
dit Mobilier rose Mr. Railway, were has in demand
Ilthan they have been for the last two or three days.
Some lines fell Mr., but others rase w much.

The body of the murdered Dochese Caurnont
la-
faree was sent into the country to-day for interment,
after the performance of a funeral service. The
Gaut& du 71-awaits says, "it appears from Dr.
Ts:siren's report of his post mortem examination that
her death was ultimately caused by strangulation
so that the assassin, after giving ber repeated blows,
mast have deliberately finished hie work.

The semi official

STOCKHOLM. Pie. 12.
lawhe Zearg, of

Vienne, lately stated in an article that 13wedei con-
sidered the demand made for a guarantee against the
re-building of Bomarsand or the erection of any new
fortifications on the Aland Islands, as of little con-
beguiles and needlessly humiliating foe Rsaeie, and
thee this bad produced& change in the views of Neig-
hed se the reject; and the official journal here,
N. 4 ark lowan Tidnimpar, today publishes a formal
denial of the statement, and invites all newspapers in
sad oat of Sweden to give this refutation the greatest
possible publicity.
Great sensation bee been produced by an article in
the Finland Atinsanne Maws', evidently written by
authority to endeavour to calm the public feeling
in Finland on the subject of the November treaty
with Francis and England, which is described as
" the natural consequence of the premiere experienced
in Scandinavia by the encroachments of the Western
Powers, and which is also so severely felt at Tule,
Napier, and Athens, extending even to Madrid and
Lisbon." The article got son to ray that at first the
adhesion of Denmark to the treaty was combined
certain, "but that this presumption was refuted by
the late cireslar despatch of the Danish gorernmest,
renewing in the most decided manner their cow
donation of a strict neutrality"—the existence of
which circular has, however, been officially denied by
Denmark.

The sum of 108,000 dollars has been granted to
General Akrell, the head of the 'kettle telegraph
department, to enable him to extend the telegraphic
communication with other parts of the kingdom, and
lay down double wires on the most important lines.
