PARIS, MONDAY EYINTICO.

The Meeting of the Paris Conference is now con.
sidered certain, and will probably take place be-
tween the 22nd and 28th of February. Althoagh a
Paris journal lately argued that in the present gran
state of Europe, the first plenipotentiaries who made
the Tasty of Paris ought to assemble on this sea•
dace, I rather think that the Powers will
lean the business to the second plenipotentiaries.
Then Is little doubt that England will now join
with France and Rae& in confirming the double
election of Colonel Own. The course which
Prussia may take on the subject is as yet matter of
anxious conjecture; for upon her attitude with re-
gard to Austria in this matter inductions will be
drawn as to her "probable conduct for the future.
Austria and the Porte are expected to oppose the
election energetically, bat I should not be surprised
if, yielding to advice, they were ultimately to
withdraw their objections. Efforts will no doubt be
made to bring the Italian question before this Confer-
nos, and the present relative calm in the public mind
may be attributed to this expectation. A postpone-
ment of the war for however short a time is quite
enough to frighten the " bears " at the Bonne,
who have been overselling themselves recklessly.
But it is important to observe that the Preset and
other papers, which have hitherto scsurately fore-
shadowed the Emperor's views, hold out not the
least hope that negotiation will lead to any esti,-
factory settlement. They stick to the text of the
pamphlet, that nothing can be done for Italy with-
out turning Austria out of it, arid they utterly dis-
believe that she will be persuaded to go away by the
eloquence of a congress. A lithographed correspon-
dence, which we know must take its cue from the
government, contains to-day the following passage:
Old practised journalist' end political men, long mess-
tamed to form a judgment on coming events, declare that
they were never ao much at fault as now. While ahaam•
Owes aoem to point to war as in/Timbal., dipionntising go-
verommta sad private Wends are making Immense efforts
to venal the dagger. Whet will be the issue of this corselet
between the good lunation of men and the forte of things?
That is the question oatmeal, asked, sad to which no an
an give a saran answer. AU that we know is that the
Italian questice Is propounded in Ma formal and tee Impera-
tive • mincer for it to be porsib'e that the solution should be
long adjourned. Now the question is whether than is any
solution passible without war ? We doubt it.

Suit are the sataria/s with which the provincial
journals are furnished as the text of their articles.

I learn from a private source, in which I pleat
confidence, tLat the Emperor is preparing tents,
horses, arms, uniform', &c., to take the field in
person. lam es convinced as it is possible to be of
any proposition not mathematically demonstrated,
that his bosom burns with the ambition to command
an army in actual warfare.
M. Seligman Fenelon, the French minister at the
Diet of Frankfort, had a long audience of the Em-
peror to-day. M. Cintrat, the minister at Ham-
burg, has also arrived in Paris. It is said that both
these plenipotentiaries have been sent for by the
Emperor to report to him as to the state of feeling in
Germany.
The Boone has been steady, but inactive. The
Rent. roes tic. for cash, and leo. fur account, closing
at UM. 33c. and 681 r. 300. Mobilier rose Mr. The
Orleans Railway rose Mr., and the other lines from
Ifr. to 2fr. 500.

Yesterday the intendant and one of the secreta-
ries of the Prioes of Abyssinia arrived in Paris,
and engaged apartatenta in the Hotel de Louvre
for his royal highness and a mite of forty persona,
who are expected here shortly. The black prince,
whose name for aught I know to the contrary may
he Rawlas, will stay several months in Paris. He
is likely to be the lion of the season.
