.! which has prevented hostilities again aurpeisiag
in a state of unpreparedness. Private letters from
Vienna state that there is no truth whatever in the
reported misunderstanding between M. de Beet*
and Count Mensdorff. The latter is simply ex-
hausted with the anxieties of the haat few months,
and wishes to retire from the ministry.
On the other hand M. de Beast is most
anxious to secure a continuance of his services,
and it is now more than probable that he will
replace Prince Metternich here. He is not less a
grand seigneur than M. de Metternich; his family
is more illustrious and his fortune larger, and he is
what the other is not—a hard worker. Great com-
plaints are made at Vienna of the want of
information which Prince Metternich has dis-
played, both here and in his reports to
his government. He knew even less than the
Emperor here would have wished, and left him

to the gaiety of a country house, without having
the fear of " derogating " before her eyes. She
has nothing of the wens homo about her, which,
among so many parvenus, renders her most
nating. If the proposed 'change be carried out, as
is positively asserted in Vienna, they will be greatly
missed here this winter, but still more by the
party about to assemble at Compiegne. The lists
of invitations for the usual series of guests will be
made out next week.
Sir Robert Peel has arrived in Paris ; M. Thiers
has also returned for the winter.
Two press trials are on the list for this month,
that of theMemoria/ Diplomatigue at the instance of
the ambassador of Prussia, for designating as rob-
bery the taking two horses belonging to an Austrian
nobleman, in whose chateau he had established
his quarters, by the King his august master. It
will come off on the 10th. The Courner Francais
will be condemned on the 10th.
It is probable some of the new diplomatic nomi-
nations will appear in to-morrow's Monitenr. A
cabinet council was held to-day,when it is said they
would receive the Emperor's signature.
It is reported in the Opinion that a message has
been received from the Emperor Maximilian in
answer to the news of the Empress's illness. After
expressing his deep sorrow for her malady, and
approving all that has been done, ho adds that,
being resolved at every sacrifice to surmount if
possible his bad fortune, he will not leave the post
j which duty assigns him. if he adheres to this
determination, so entirely contrary to the wishes
of his early patron, and to the instructions given to
General Castelnau, the position will be strangely
complicated, for one would think that the French
troops cannot in honour be withdrawn without a
positive assurance of non-intervention on the part
of the United States, and the plea of putting an
end to anarchy in Mexico may thus only have
resulted in setting up a new element of division.
The Progre.s de l'Oise gives an account of a new
steam carriage for the traction of boats on
rivers and canals, which has just been tried at
Compiegne. It is a steam carriage of 12 horse
power, calculated for driving on ordinary roads.
It was stationed on the towing path, and ma-
nceuvred well with two heavy barges in tow,
neither impeded by the windings of the river,
which in this part are very frequent, nor by the
inequalities of the path. By this means barges,
which spend at present a month on the voyage
from the North to Paris, will be able to accom-
plish it in ten days.
Although to-day was settling day the Bourse
presented no animation, and most of the quota-
