EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TKI72IDAT IVIDII3IO.

The despatches on the subject of the negotiations
received here to-day are, in appearance, costradio-
tory, bet when attentively considered, it
may be collected from them that Reeds has
not only coolly received, but has, in fact.
rejected the Austrian propositions, which were
heralded as an ultimatum, and has sent the Csar's
private secretary, Count Btackleberg, to Vienna to pro-
pose another beau for negotiations. Bo mach for the'
diplomatic manouvree which we were told were to
produce a " Yes " or a " No." A despatch from
Konigsberg, stating that Russia has rejected the
Austrian " mediation," and has accepted that of
Saxony, reads like nonsense, for, according to the
whole theory el the Austrian intervention, Austria
did not and cold not come forward as a mediator,
because she was a party in the cause—bound by the
alliance of December 2 to the Western Powers.

The following telegraphic despatch in this even.'
isg's Paris, contains news dbunstrioally opposite to
that telegraphed from Lowden as being in the Mom-
is, Post of this day :

Bw.iw. JAN. 9.

Nees ►ae bees »calved boa fit. Petu►Mrg th►t sp to

Impute. M. de Nemeirede has declared oesfidentially to
M. de Beebe& that, is hie opiates, Bemis bad in by dr-
ealar of Dee. 22, offered the utmost sreemaions that elm
weld make.

It is to be observed on this despatch that news of
Wer date than Jan. 2 has been received from St.
Petersburg. _ _ .

Notwithstanding a rime of per eent. in Consols,
there has been no improvement on the Bourse here.
The Rests, after a slight and ill sustained upward
movement, closed at about yetterday's price, but all
other securities fell oonsiierably. Bank of France
declined 20fr. It is anticipated that the accounts
to-morrow will be unfavourable. Credit Mobilier
fell 10fr. There is a report that the house of Roths-
child, of Genoa, has applied for the conausion of an
internatioaal bank, which would compete with this
establishment. Railways were all lower.
Orders have been given to make preparations at
Rouen for the immediate arrival of a very large
quantity of gunpowder tram the manufactory of the
Bonehet, in order to forward it without delay to Brest
and Cherbourg. Not lees than 110,000 tons are to
be sent to the former port, and 224,000 to the latter.
The American* of Brest says :

Oar port has moaned the tattier dietary activity of last
year. The an work both fate days and Baader, in order
to prepare for the military and maritime operations contem-
plated is the Bahia and the Crimea in the spring.

Yoe will have seen by your intelligence from Aus-
trian Italy that the bishops in Lombardy are disposed
to lose no time in entering into the full enjoyment of
the tights cosoeded to the Catholic Church by the
new Concordat. Correspondence received here states
that the Bishop of Bergamo has proscribed the works
of Schiller, and also a Wavy journal called the era-
puscolo, which has lived unmolested ever since 1849.
But, &wording to a private letter from Italy, which I
have seen today, there is some reason to think that
the right reverend fathers have made more baste
than good speed in their endeavours to restore the
rampant domination of Rome. The judges of the
Superior Courts of Lombardy have addressed a use-
asocial to the Government of Vienna. sitting forth
that they have reckoned up no lap than 2,735 laws,
decrees, and judicial decisions, diametrically opposed
to the new Concordat, and requesting explicit instrac.
time for their conduct in respect to the cases which
may be brought before them. The Austrian got era-
mot, this letter states, has told the judges to admi-
nister the law as they undantand it, and as if the
Concordat did not exist.
