PARIS, MAI 16.

The Constitutionnel of this morning says :
" The Paris Conference has decided in favour of
the union of Moldavia and Wallachia, should
the Principalities combine in demanding to be
united. The Conference, however, has not con-
sented to the election of a foreign Prince.
France would have been glad to see such
an arrangement effected, but as it did not meet
the approval of the other Powers, the French
Cabinet could not think of imposing its opinion
upon the other European governments."
The Congitutionnel proceeds to express a wish
that the Principalities should listen to the wise
'counsels of France, and return to that prudent at-
titude which can alone save them from painful
emergencies.

The Emperor Napoleon received yesterday a
letter front the Tycoon of Japan.

AMERICA.
SOUTHAMPTON, MAY

The Hamburg and American Company's steamer
Saxonia, for New York, with a large cargo, in-
cluding French jewellery, value 48,075 fr., and a
North American Lloyd's Company steamer with a
full cargo and French jewellery, value 4,7001 r.,
both sailed last night with clean bills of health.
Each steamer had nearly 800 passengers for New
York. As yet not a single case of cholera has
occurred amongst the large number of passengers
conveyed across the Atlantic by these companies'
steamers.

The official inspection by the government qua_

cleanliness, &c., was highly satisfactory.

PARIS. TUZSDAT Evicxxxa,

La France takes upon itself to say that France,
England, and Russia have come to an understand-
ing " on the subject of a proposition for a con-
gress," and that this agreement is the result of
negotiations which have been "actively going
on for the last few days." The Opinion
of Florence, I observe, speaks of nego-
tiations of the kind. I am afraid it would
be to cherish delusion to have any confidence in
them. It cannot be forgotten how emphatically
it was lately stated in the English parliament that
every government declined to join in a congress un-
less upon the condition that no question affecting
itself was to be broached. I have no reason to
believe that the governments of Europe are now in
a better frame of mind. It is quite possible, nay
likely, from the terms of the warning given
to the Conrrier du Dimanehe, that the French
Emperor may have professed to be ready
to make a last effort to maintain peace ; but things
must have greatly altered indeed if at this moment
France, England, and Russia have any common
ground to go upon which will bear any stronger
test than that of tentative negotiations. I notice
that this evening's Moniteur prints in its front page
that the pacific rumours circulated at the Berlin
Bourse were "unfounded."

Lord Cowley, M. Nigra, and Count do Goltz
had interviews with M. Drouyn de Lhuys to-day.
As to the impending war, the Pays, not inaptly,
sums up the latest intelligence in these words:—
" The news of this evening differs little from that
of the morning." One reason for the want of any_
thing new as to war movements is that both in
Italy and Germany the telegraph is not allowed to
forward them.

General Almonte, the new Mexican ambassador to
the court of the Tuileries, and as it will be remem-
bered one of the principal instigators of the French
intervention, which before long will be universally
characterised as a calamity for France, has just
arrived in Paris and taken up his quarters provi-
sionally in the Grand Hotel.
The Bourse, after some oscillation., closed with
considerable firmness at the highest prices of
the day. Rente rose 15c. for cash, and 25c. for
the account, closing at 64fr. 15e. and 64fr. 10c.
