RUSSIA AND FRANCE.

A correspondent of the Independanee Beige
vouches foe the correctness of the following state-
ment :

" When Alexander IL became acquainted with
the celebrated brochure, ' Le Pape et le Congas,'
and bad become convinced that it proceeded from an
official source, he had &conversation with the Duke of
Montebello (the representative of Francs at St. Peters-
burg) oleo important a character that the ambassador
believed it to be his duty to send by telegraph to
Count Walewski, then at the head of foteign affairs,
a verbatim report of all that transpired. The
Em-
peror of Russia, after expressing to the ambassador
how regrettable it appeared to his Majesty to see the
policy of the French government present itself by
sudden changes under new and unexpected aspects,
at a moment especially when Europe, anxious for
repose, believed that they had reached a Congress
as a poet of safety, did not conceal from the
duke, in analysing the scheme propounded by the
brochure, that his government could never rally
round sons of the principles defended by that pub-
lication."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS:.

(MON o. OWN 00111STONDINT,)

PARIB, WIDNISDAY

Down to a very recent period it has been averted
in some quarters that the Emperor still hopes for a
Congress. According to the tenor of the latest
official news, I have reason to believe that these
hopes, if they were really entertained, have now
completely vanished. -Diplomatic relations between
Turin and Vienna are at this moment in a very tick-
lish, not to say alarming state. Recent manifesta-
tions in Venice have occasioned great irritation at
Vienna, and there is a talk of a diplomatic note of a
very bitter character being likely to be delivered to
the Piedmontese Ministry by the Austrian Envoy at
Turin.

The Pays, while paying its forced but reluctant
tribute of admiration to the Emperor's commercial
letter, does its little best to insinuate that the mea-
sure of free trade to be dealt out will be very email,
and especially that the duties to be put upon articles
hitherto prohibited will be " efficaciously " protective.
It desperately clings to a promise which it pretends
was made in 1858, that prohibitive duties should
not in any case be removed before July, 1861 ; and
says it has reason to believe that this " engagement "
will not be departed from. The Constitutioanel
affects to understand the letter, which distinctly
says that all prohibitions are to be " abolished," u
merely meaning that " some " prohibitions are to be
replaced by very high protective duties.
M. Delamarre states, in the Patrie, that a " certain
agitation " has been provoked in some of the manu-
facturing districts by " incorrect details" of the
project of a treaty of commerce between France and
England. He echoes the assertion of the Pays, that
prohibitions will not be abolished till 1861, and he
adds_that protective duties of from 25 to 30 per cent:
will be substituted for them. This " protection'
will oertainly not satisfy the protectionists, who
have already been talking of 75 per cent. for many
articles. M. Delamarre exhorts the manufacturers
to be patient, that their agitation can do them no
good, and only tends to create uneasiness from which
the working cluses will be the first to suffer. He
assures them that when they come to know the de-
tails of the "treaty in nouns of negotiation," they
will be satisfied with it. In conclusion, he says
that to his knowledge the Emperor, before conclud-
ing anything, desired to hear all that tke leading
manufacturers had to say on the subject, and that
" this inquiry, conducted by the sovereign himself, is
a guarantee that all legitimate interests will be
taken care of." The grammatical form of this pea-
sage indicates that the inquiry is over, and not yet
to be instituted. If this construction be correct,
the assertion is highly important. .
It was rumoured at the Bourse that deputation.
had arrived at Paris from Sedan, Roubaix, and other
northern towns, with petitions in favour of pro-
hibition.

The prefect of the Gard, in execution of the gene-
ral orders, which I told you some time since had
been sent from Paris, to keep a sharp look out upon
the movements of the priests, has issued the follow-
ing circular, dated Jan. 16, to the mayors of his de-
partment :
In certain parts of this department an address to the Pope
has been hawked about for signature within the last few
days. The origin of this document is not avowed, bat adhe-
sions to it are canvassed under colour of the interests of
religion. When, however, the government inflicted a warn-
itig upon the Chewers for its model address to the Pope, the
government very clearly gave it to be understood that It
would not tolerate the organisation of a political manifesto
under a religious pretext. Moreover, the Bishop of Nimes
has given instructions to the pilaus of his diocese
to abstain from all participation in this movement.
The agitation to which I call your attention is therefore ex-
clusively political. I have the honour to make you ac-
quainted with these facts in order that should any mantel:tyres
of the kind be attempted in your commune, you may be pre-
pared to enlighten the population as to the real motives of
the promoters. I beg you to let nos know immediately the
names of these illicit hawkers and those of their employers.—
' Receive, &a.,
The Prefect of the Gard,
BUM DVIMIBERT.

A letter from Arles says that the sale of the
Bishop of Orleans' letter has been interdicted in
that town.

The Echo de la Frontiers of Valenciennes and the
Gazette de Lyon both give notice that they shall for
the present abstain from all political discussion, and
print no opinions of their own upon any subject
whatever.

The Bourse continues to be heavy. The abun
dance of money tends to support quotations, but
speculators are very cautious, and the slightest
rumour serves to alarm them. During the greater
part of the day little business was done. Some
heavy sales towards the close of business brought
the Rente down to 68fr. 86c. and 68fr. 80c., being a
fall of 16c. both for cash and account. Mobilier fell
6fr. The Orleans and Northern railways fell 6fr.
each; Lyons, 3fr. 75c. ; and Eastern and Western,
lfr. 25c. each. News has arrived from Rome that
the Pope's official reply tp the Emperor's letter is
non possumus.
