PARIS, SUNDAE EVENING.
Letters from Belgraie state that the re-instate-
ment of M. Garaschnin, the ex-minister, who was
dismissed by Prince Alexander of Scrvia, on the
peremptory demand of the Russian consul, is a very
probable contingency.
Daniel Petrovitsch, Vladika of Montenegro, ar-
rived at Vienna on the 26th ult., and has been
received in audience by the Emperor.
The Man iteur contains the following announce-
ment of an event which has hitherto been spoken of
only in whispers:
Her Majesty the Empress, who for the last two months
has been enceinte, and who has been unwell for several days,
miscarried in the evening of April 29. Is other respects
her Majesty's health is as satisfactory as possible.
On the subject of railway concessions the Moniteur
contains the following important caution :
It frequently happens that companissmerely because they
have sent in proposals to government for a line of rail-
way, and have been authorised to make surveys,
consider themselves, and are very generally considered, as
being actual grantees of their proposed Hue. Government
has never neglected to contradict this mistake. It feels it a
duty in the interest of the public, as well as in the interest
of the companies themselves, to prevent such an opinion
from being accredited. When the government thinks that
a line of railway is called for, it submits the various pro.
positions laid before it to a careful examination, as well
with regard to the line to be taken as to the financial pros-
pects of the undertaking, and the security offered fur its
fulfilment. It does not admit that apart from considerations
of public interest any priority of demand, or any surveys
that may have been made, give any right to a preference.
Surveys are always made at the risk of the company making
them. The State is only bound by a decree of concession.
No company, therefore, has a right to represent that a con-
cession has been made to it, until, after hearing the opinion
of the Council of State, the Emperor has signed the decree.
General Canrobert, the favourite aide-de-camp of
the Emperor, who has been so often designated by
public rumour as the probable successor of Marshal
St. Arnaud in the ministry of war, is to command the
camp of 8,000 men at St. Omer, which is now ex-
pected to be formed about the middle of the month.
There can be scarcely any doubt that the Emperor
will visit the camp.
It is said that the committee on the Corps Legisla-
tif now sitting on the budget have proposed reds°.
Sons to the amount of two millions, to which the
Council of State have consented, and that they in-
tend to endeavour to strike off two millions more.
The session ends on the 13th of May, and it is abun-
dantly evident that no sufficient time remains for any
serious public discussion of the most important btlsi
nese of the session which yet remain undone. Accord-
ingly there are rumours of an extraordinary mks
being convoked. But I attach no credit whatrne
to these reports. Last year the SIM Ma d 1111111111M1
were current, but in the result the budget was her.
ried through in the last two days of the sitting, the
members protesting that it was impossible for them
to understand it. Now if all one hears be true, the
budget commission is really working very had is
private, but you may depend upon it no facilities
will be given for a bona fide public discussion. That
is abhorrent to the whole system of the present
government.
The following telegraphic despatch, dated Brussels,
this day, has just been received:
Brussels, Sunday, May 1.
The King of the Belgians being about to visit Berlin, the
Kii.g of Prussia has invited Inns by telegraph to go either Se
the royal chlteau of Berlin or that or Potsdam. It ID.
thought that the King Leopold will provisionally stay at
the Belgian legation, and then go to Potsdam, where he is
expected on Tuesday next.
The Second Prussian Chamber has adopted the
treaty of commerce concluded between the government of
Frederick William and that of the Emperor o. Austria. It
has also adopted the treaties re-constituting the Zoll-srein.
The Prussian government has promised immediately to
present a bill for reducing the import duty upon iron.

In the Moniteur of to-day there is a decree of the
Emperor, conceding the railway from Lyons to
Geneva, with branches to Bourg and Macon, to the
Duke of Gallicra and Messrs. Bartholony, Jayr,
Benoist d'Azy, Blount and Co., Hely d'Oissel, Glad-
stone, De Monicault, Kohler, and General Dufour.
