PARIS, StINDAT EVININO.
The Comeauiimmel unceremoniously dismisses as
out of date and wholly insufficient the revival of the
expedient of putting a non-natural sense upon the
Vienna note. It says:
"The nmes alludes to a proposition already put
forward more than a month ago by some German
journals, and since clothed with a more official cha-
racter. This proposition, the idea of which is not
new, is that a counter declaration should be made
by Russia to reassure Turkey—who would purely
and simply accept the note of Vienna—as to the use
which the Czar m'ght ultimately make of it. This
proposition seems to us at this time of day to be
without any real importance. This counter declara-
tion, in the first place, arrives rather late; and,
further, it cannot possibly be aooepted as satisfactory
by Turkey after the interpretation which the Czar
has already put upon the note. This, indeed, the
Times appears to feel."
The affair of the Opera Comique plot will some on
for trial on the 27th inst. There are 27 prisoners.
M. Rouland, the imperial procureur, will conduct the
prosecution in person. M. Jules Fevre will defend
some of the accused.

The Progres du Pas de Calais his received a warn-
ing for a series of articles written during the Empe-
ror's northern tour, in which the civil and military
authorities found much matter of offence.

PARIS, MONDAY ETI2IIIIII.

The following highly important, if authentic, tele-
graphic despatch has been received to-day at Mears.
Englander and Co.'s office of correspondence:

OCT. 9.

"The English packet Fury brings news from
Constantinople of the 2nd.

e The Divan had decided that on the 4th the official
declaration should be proclaimed, calling upon Russia
to evacuate the provinces immediately, and that in
default war should commence.

" A rumour was accredited that the Turkish and
Egyptian fleets had entered the Black Sea.
" On the 3rd the Fury met the Ardent, bearing the
order to the French fleet to enter the Dardanelles."
This despatch, which was known to a few people
at the Bourse to-day, adds to the confusion winch
already prevailed, owing to the conflicting nature
of the intelligence which reecho' us from
Turkey, Germany, and England. The Patrie
of last night threw a shade of doubt upon
the entire authenticity of the despatch from Vienna
of the 7th, announcing a declaration of war with
Russia unless the Principalities were evacuated
within four weeks. The news, it said, was
not improbable, but it would be better to
wait a little before feeling entirely certain
with respect to facts of this kind and the exact bear-
ing of them. Upon this paragraph the Constitu-
tionnel says:—" We will be more affirmative than
the Petrie, for we can say that our own advices
enable us to confirm the accuracy of the information
given by the telegraphic despatch of Vienna as to the
declaration of war made by the Porte."
This, if worth anything, is a confirmation of the
Vienna despatch in its entirety—not as to the fact
of the declaration of war only, but also es
to the delay of four weeks. It is not to be sup-
posed that this delay once granted the Sultan
would have afterwards revoked it, and required the
immediate "evacuation." To the extent, therefore,
that the Constifutionnel may be thought trust-
worthy, the new account via Marseilles must
be discredited. It is, however, asserted in
some quarters that private letters have been
received, stating that the original period was
not three weeks, but eleven days. The declaration
is said to have been notified to Russia about the 27th
of September. The time would, therefore, expire
towards October 8, and in such a case war
might be very well spoken of on the 2nd
as about to commence immediately. The Patric
announces the arrival of the Fury, but does
not notice the above despatch, which, as it is
difficult to think the Patric cannot have known that
such a despatch had been received, is a circum-
stance against its authenticity. This journal,
indeed, gives intelligence inconsistent with the
Marseilles story. It says:—" Private letters
and all the most recent private telegraphic
despatches from Constantinople are unanimous in
confirming the fact that the Divan has pronounced
for a declaration of war, but it appears that the Sul-
tan had not yet given his sanction to the vote of the
Divan."

The letters and journals brought by the Tancrede
have arrived to-day, but they contain nothing of in-
terest beyond what is greatly known. The papers
have not been allowed to speak freely. One of the
numbers of the Cburrier de Constantinople says,
" We must warn our readers that two pages of our
political news have been cut out by the censorship to-
day." The Marseilles journals, arrived by the same
courier, give in detail the story already brought by
telegraph that the French and English frigates
had left Constantinople to rejoin the squadrons.
The Patrie again gives a peremptory deaial to
this statement.

The Bourse faithfully represented the perplexing
state of doubt and uncertainty in which the public,
mind is involved. At the opening there was a
strong tendency to rise, emigrated by the con-
fident 111111111001141 of some English journals
that the miniWy had unanimously decided
to resume the thread of negotiations. The
Threes opened at 73fr. 70c., and towards half-past 1,
upon a report that Consols had rimenit per cent., they
ran up to 74f. 300. Later in the day Consols were said
to come lower, and the rents rapidly declined, closing
at 73.83, being a rise of only 43c. from Saturday. Bank
of France shares rose 10f. The railways rose considera-
bly in the early part of the day, and in them the
reaction was not very great. The price of Consols
was not placarded according to the promise made
last week.

The great bankers operated largely for the rise
to-day, and, but for the effect of the &patch from
Marseilles, which, although much suspected, was the
cause of a great many Wu, they would have been
more successful. Their operations were also
discouraged by confident assertions that the " una-
nimity" of the English cabinet was a fiction. lam
told the Emperor said to Rothschild on Saturday,
" You must get the funds up to 75 on Mondayfand
some think from this the loan of 300 millions is con-
tracted for and about to come out.

It is reported that an insurrectional movement has
broken out on the Grecian frontiers, at that part
which separates Greece from Turkey.

GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna of the 4th, in the dagger'
Gazette, says :—" In financial circles a five per cent.
loan is looked upon as concluded. It is said that
the loan has been effected with the firm of Roths-
child, at the price of 89.1
The Emperor of Austria is said to have returned
from Warsaw.

MOVEMENT OF BRITISH TROOPS.
A telegraphic despatch which leg Dublin yester-
day evening states that six regiments is Ireland
have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for
the Mediterranean; and it is rumoured that this
order is connected with the probability of hostilities
between Russia and Turkey.
