PARIS, SrNDAT EVENINO.
We read in the Correspondence of Berlin :
News hu arrived that a conference took place between
the Prince of Prussia and the two Emperors at Olmutz a
few minutes before the Czar's departure. Conut Nessel-
rode and M. Buol-Schauenstein were present at this con-
ference. A courier has arrived from Olmutz with a latter
from the Prince of Pruolia to the King. Facts will soon
prove the truth of jour predictions that the conferences of
Olmutz have established a perfect understanding on the
suejeet of the Eastern queetion, between Praltill, Austria,
and Russia.

BELGIUM.

—*—
The Belgian Minister of War has just decided that
the new uniform lately introduced into the Belgian
army, and which greatly resembles that worn by the
Austrian infantry, is to become the general dress of
the Belgian infantry.
BRUSSELS, SUNDAY.
There are good grounds for stating that the French
cabinet has, at last, expressed—in courteous terms it
is true, but not on that account less forcible terms—
its " surprise" at the irresolute conduct of the British
ministry with regard to the affairs of Turkey. The
marked courtesy—the by far more than ordinary
courtesy—lately displayed by the Emperor Nicholas
to the British ambassador at Vienna, particularly
after their recent interview, has given rise to some
doubts, if not suspicions, on the part of the French
government. It would appear that that cabinet
thinks the time is now come to give up " following
the leader," and to exercise, in turn, the predominat-
ing influence so long—too long—tacitly conceded to
the British ministry during all the past negotiations
respecting the Turkish question. lam told, in a
well-informed quarter, that the French government
consider that they have been duped by Austria, out-
witted by Russia, and unskilfully led by Lord Aber-
deen. It is added that the Minister of War has just
issued orders "of a nature to convey the impression
that France must be still well prepared for any event
which may arise."
The Amsterdam Bantle:Wad states, in a tele-
graphic despatch from Vienna, that the Emperor
Nicholas regards the sending of some English and
French frigates to Constantinople merely as a
measure having in view the keeping of the fanatics
in respect.

The Steele observes upon the above :
This correspondence has no official character, but it is
often welt informed, and often employid to disseminate
certain ideas which governments are net sorry to have ac-
credited. The King of Prussia being compelled to make
some account of the opinion of Constitutional Germany, did
not go to Ohnuts. He merely sent his nephew, the son of
the Paine of Prussia, the heir presumptive. The King of
Prussia now allows it to be said that there will be no di
vision among the northern powers on the eastern question,
but he reserves his own opinions and his own acts. Such a
reserve suits his policy as well as that of Russia. Nothing,
iii truth, would be more likely to drive France and ling.
land to take the most vigorous resolutions than the cer-
tainty of an alliance between the northern governments on
the eastern question.

M. Philibert Augustin Bonne, a captain in the
navy, is appointed Governor of Guadaloupe, in the
place of Captain Aubry Baillettl, recalled at his own
request.
The Pays, in reply to several journals which have
remarked upon the absence of M. do Bourqueney
from Olmutz, says that Lord Westmoreland was
there in his character of a general officer, and that
no other members of the corps diplontatique were in-
vited. If this observation be well founded, it would
follow that Lord Westmoreland's presence at Olmutz
has no diplomatic importance whatever.
. .

A t.ial indirectly bearing upon politics is shortly
coming on at the Palais de Justice, which will, it is
expected, throw some light upon an interesting
period of modern history. A provincial legitimist
journal, the Gazette de Rendre et d' Artois, lately
made some quotations from a book published three
years ago by M. Ch. de In Varenne, upon
the events and the men of February 24th.
This M. de La Varenne, formerly a Sardinian
officer, boasted in 1848 that he had contributed to
the overthrow of Louis Philippe. He was one of
fourteen persons who entered the Hotel de Ville vic-
torious from the barricades and received the title of
"delegate of the provisional government." His
opinions, however, underwent one of those speedy
and radical changes which have long ceased to ex-
cite astonishment. His book is a string of libels
upon the provisional government, and he went lately
to the fetes of Brussels as a correspondent for the
legitimist journal the Union. The passage from his
book quoted by the journal above mentioned accuses
M. Cremieux, the minister of justice in 1848, of hav-
ing misappropriated a portfolio belonging to Louis
Philippe which he found in the Tuileries. M. Ore-
mieux has now brought his action for libel, and in-
tends, it is said, to make as much noise about the case
as possible. Although, or perhaps because, a distin-
guished advocate himself, he will not plead his own
cause. He has engaged AL Chaix d'Fat Ange. The
newspaper has retained M. Berryer and M. Aurdlien
de Sae. MM. Lamartine and Arago, in their char-
acter of colleagues of M. Cremienx in the provisional
government, will, it is reported, be called as
witnesses.

The Mayor of Nismes has issued a decree which,
if it be strictly obeyed, will prove that the hot-blooded
inhabitants of that southern city have been drilled
into a marvellous state of discipline. For the space
of a whole month trial performances are to take place
at the theatre by candidates for admission to the
lyric and dramatic company to be definitively formed.
During all this time the public will be admitted,
but, in order that the candidates may neither be
flurried nor elated, the audience is to listen in
silence, and neither by word or gesture to give any
sign of approbation or disapprobation. At the end of
the month a final performance will take place, at
which the public will be free to clap and hiss as much
as it pleases, and universal suffrage will be consulted
as to the admission of every candidate. The plebis-
cite, however, may be either ratified or overruled by
the municipality, whose chosen judges will be ex-
pected to " bear a wary eye" throughout the proba-
tionary month.

The following interesting anecdote is told by the
Journal de Coitus :

When the Emperor received the authorities of Calais,
Count Victor du Hamel, the Prefect of the Pas de Calais
bagged leave to present to his Mvjesty the senior member
of the Municipal Council, M. Pigault de Demspre, whom
he described sa one of the most honourable men in the de-
partment. M. Pigault de Beaupri, stepping forward, said
to the Emperor, "Sire, I have nothing to ask from your
Majesty ; but I venture to invoke your benevolence in fa-
vour of an old soldier, 84 years of age, the sole survivor of
the regiment of Husaards de la Mort in 1792. His name is
Pierre Len's, of Frithun Canton of Calais. He went
through the campaigns of Holland, of Germany (where he
was one of General Moreau's orderlies), and those
of Italy, in which he was severely wounded at
Verona by the bursting of a howitzer. He was afterwards
discharged without a pension. Now solitary and miserable,
this poor old soldier has nothing to live upon but the three
kilogrammes of bread allowed him by the commune. Your
Majesty will not blame me fo. bringing to your notice this
ruin of our old glories." The Emperor answered, Very
well, sir, bring the man to me." A few moments afterwards
a man in a blouse, bowed down by age, and almost carried
by M. Pigault de Beaupre and one of his sons, advanced
slowly towards the imperial throne. As soon as he saw
him, the Emperor said, "Is that your man ?" "Yes,
sire." " Very well, I grant him a pension of 300 f. fur the
kat pox to be paid in advance." On the instant Colonel
