LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The plenipotentiaries met for the fifth time on
Thursday.

If the extrescfficial information of the ayssfitss-
turnout may be accepted, the two first sitting. of the
eonterence were occupied with the verifkatkm et
powers and the examination and settlement of the
clauses of the armistice, and only on the third Mks
did the oonference take up the preliminaries of pease.
The fifth point, according to the same authority, hem
not been set out, but will now be immediately
discussed.
The

believes that neither the Nios.
laieff question nor the rertitation of Bars Ku yet been
settled, and that they were not approached till the
sitting of Thursday last.
The exchange of

between the
enipotentiaries and their governments is unceas-
ing. While the telegraph is in constant play, spe-
cial couriers are hurrying to and fro on the railways.
Yesterday two aides-de-eamp of the Emperor of
Russia, Counts Schouvaloff and Livascheff, arrived
at Paris with despatches for Count O&M It is said
that they are the Imam of fresh propositions from
Russia relative to the limitation of the frontiers.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FILLDAT ETINLNO.

The decree in the Mal an, calling oat for active
service the 140,000 young men forming the Military
Contingent, voted for 1866, is by no means • matter
of mars& According to ordinary practice the decree
would not have appeared till May or June, and not

mor• than half the number of men would hays been
Galled for. The deem most therefore be considered
as a practical momentary of a very striking kind
upon that passage of the Emptoror'e speech which
insists upon the neomity of maintaining a dignified
attitade, and being prepared if necessary again to
draw the sword.

The Emperor and Empress came together at about
half•paet three this afternoon, to pay a visit to the
show rooms of Marine. Felicia, No. 22, Bee
Vivienne, in order to tamped the layette prepared far
the expected infant. A oxisidirable crowd blocked
op the Rue Vivienne for mare than an boar; even
after thedeparture of their Majesties, people hung
shoat the door of Mollie. Felicia hones, wide, for
the exit from the yard of a court carriage, which it
was fancied had been seat to transport the cradle to
the Tuileries.
It is mentioned as a curious fact that M. Paul
Dude, who, as I have already mentioned, was
installed in the Tuileries on March 1, occupies the
very apartment. which his father, M. Antoine
Dubois, entered on that day fortyflve years ago, to
be in readiness to attend the Empress Marie Louise
during her oontlnemenL Enthadastie Bona-
partist., encouraged by this remarkable coinci-
dence, hazard the prediction that the expected
Imperial

infant will be born on the birth-
day of the Lag of Rome, March 20. Thera
is, however, great reason to believe that the event
will occur mach sooner. But the believers in anal-
remarks may feel consoled by the feet that the cele-
brated obeenat tree in the Tuileries, which is said
always to have green beds by the 20th of March, is,
owing to the very advanced season, sprouting al-
ready, so that there will be room to argue in any
event that their prophecy has been substantially ac-
complished.
The rise effected daring the last hoer at the Bourse
yesterday, has not been maintained today. So long
as capitalists find their advantage in the high rate
of report., nothing short of some decided political
meat is likely to bring about any important the.

The effects of the Austrian Concordat with Rome
are making themselves felt in Tuscany, where the
most strenuous endeavours are made to move the
Grand Doke to abolish the Leopoldine laws, the last
remains of the former liberal rigitne. The attempt
has not been fully successful. bat it is understood
that as a couession the severity of the laws spinet
