LATEST INTELLIGENCE,

THIS DAY. Four o'Clock.
The Acadia, with the American mails, had not
ached Liverpool this morning at six o'clock.

Our foreign express received this morning brought
Paris letters and papers of Monday.
The contradictory reports, proceeding from sources
which the French public have been long accustomed
to consider as authentic, respecting the ministerial
protest against the proceedings of the three northern
courts, engaged a considerable share of the atten-
tion of the Paris journals, and there prevailed
a very unanimous judgment that these incompatibi-
lities and contradictions are explicable only in the
manner in which they have been explained in our
correspondence long
.since ; that is to say, that the
protestation, as originally composed by Guizot,
has been successively modified and mutilated,
stripped of its energy, deprived of its spirit, and
rendered what it has ultimately become, a most tame
and inoffensive manifestation. Indeed, some of the
organs of the Opposition pretend that the document,
besides being mangled in the cabinet and at St. Cloud,
was exhibited successively to statesmen out of the
cabinet, and even in Opposition, such as the Duke
Pasquier, M. Deeazes, and M. Mole • and that it was
not finally and formally submitted for the sanc-
tion of the cabinet until a high personage had
ascertained that the ambassadors of Austria
and Prussia had intimated their opinion that
it contained nothing which could prove vio-
lently displeasing to their respective courts. One
of the on dits now current is, that when M. Thiers
was called to St. Cloud, a disposition was manifested
to communicate to him the contents of the intended
note, as corrected and amended. M. Thiers is reported
however to have answered with much spirit, that such
a communication was not desirable, since, if the pro-
testation should not be in accordance with his views,
he would prefer to continue under the illusion that it
was the work of the cabinet.
The municipal elections commenced on Sunday.
The results as yet are favourable to the ministry.
It was said in Paris, on Monday, among. well-
informed persons that the diplomatic communication
sent to Count Flahaut at Vienna was much more im-
portant than the communications made to Berlin and
St. Petersburg. M. Flahaut was, as we are assured,
instructed to convey to the Cabinet of Vienna
assurances of the pacific dispositions of the
French government, and to spare no effort
to come to a good understanding with the cabinet of
Vienna. The King, it is said, discredits the possi-
bility of en alliance with Russia, admitting, at the
same time,. all the difficulties of returning to the
entente mediate. It is, therefore, that an attempt is
first made to succeed with Austria, and to induce that
power to propose a European congress. The Kin
expects that, if supported by Austria, Prussia and
Russia would follow, and would thus give him a
majority on the question of the marriages. If Austria
cannot be induced to take the initiative in this idea
of a congress, France will make the proposition.
