PAEIB, TIIIIIIIDAT
Then is little new to be said today on the very
complicated state of foreign polities. I have reason
to think that the present diplomatic relations between
France and England us at this moment so Undue.
that a few hours must maks them either better or
worse. Neither party, and least of all England,
wishes to break the mimic cordial.. But, at the
same time, thus is a diametrical difference between
them upon certain points of great important*, and
there are as yet no signs that either means to give
way. The Emperor's personal opinion on the
clatter is very doubtful. He is strongly
besieged by Russian influences, and there are
signs that he is hesitating. Should be ultimately
resolve to march frankly with us, it is difficult to
think that he can retain his present Minister for
Foreign Affairs, who certainly has been playing a very
opposite game. His Majesty has recovered from the
attack of rheumatism which confined him to his feed a

few days ago, and hes been yesterday and today
actively engaged in public business, giving audiences
in quick succession to different ministers and various
foreign ambassadors who are making to urge upon
him the views of their respective governments at this
crisis.

The Sink gime the following explanation, the
accuracy of which, it mays, it can guarantee, of the
change of ministry at Constantinople :

that France and England were not acting with a complete

having dispelled any ides of a divergence of views between
the Western Nom, Beechid Fiche was commissioned to
form a new ministey. It would, therefore, be a mistake to
see in the return to power of the en-Grand Vizier en indi-
cation of the triumph of English over French influence.
Oa the contrary we eau only see in the event a sign that no
Ottoman ministry can henceforth be stable unless it hold
the balance equal between the twosavionrs of Turkey. The
correspondence of the Prime and Paps confirm this infor-
mation; that of the Semaphore, of Marseilles, adds that
the Council of Ministers of the Porte has decided that
any requisition to Austria and Eoghued to evacuate
would be uncalled for, because, by their presence
in the Pitecipelities and Black Sea respectively,
they are defending Terkey, end because their occupation
will be just and useful as bag as Russia does not give up
Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents.

The government journal the Verite scornfully re-
jects this conciliatory explanation of the Sleek, and,
referring to a reported statement of M. Prokesch,
that the occupation of the Principalities was neces-
sary on account of the revolutionary agitation that
prevailed in Moldo-Wallachia, asks in what way the
necessity would be less if Russia were at once to
give up Bolgrad and the Serpent's Island—" very
secondary questions, of no real importance." The
Veride, therefore, recommends the died. to look out
for something better worth offering to its readers.
The Bourse opened with very considerable firm-
ness. The fall of the last few days tempted buyers
o come forward, and there was a report that the
bullion in the Bank of France cellars has materially
increased. The Rents opened at 66fr. 76c., and rose
to 68fr. 960.; but at half-past two o'clock the news
of a fall of per cant. in Consols led to a•reaotion,
and the closing price was 661 r. 70c., being still a rise
of 20e. upon yesterday. Mobilier rose 121 X. eroo., after
having been much higher. Railways were lower;
some lines fell 10fr. and ldfr.

M. Paul Delaroche's funtral took place today, and
was attended by an immense crowd of profeseors and
patrons of the Fine Arty. The pall-bearers were the
Count de Nteuwerkerke, director of the Imperial
Museums, aid MM. Ingres, Ha!try, Lemaire, Robert
Fleury, aid Vinot. The chief mourners were the two

cemetery, and M. Haler', pronounced a funeral ora-
tion over the grave.
