PARIS. MONDLT ETINING.

An Austrian government courier arrived in Paris
to-day with despatches which are anderstood to
contain the answer to a note sent by the French
government, simultaneously with notes on the same
subject from the other powers parties to the Treaty
of Paris, complaining of the order sent to the com-
mendoust of Semliu, authorising, in certain even-
tualities, an intervention in Serve. The answer, I
em
told, is to this effect:—The Austrian government,
as a neighbouring power to Berrie, is more interested
then any other can be in the strict observance of
article 29 of the Treaty of Paris; that in the present
instance the question has lost its practical importance,
inasmuch as Prince Milosch has been recognised by
the Turkish government; and that in point of inter-
national law the offer made to the Pacha of Belgrade
implied that the Pacha would submit the proposition
to the Porte, who, in its turn, would consult the
powers parties to the treaty of Paris before giving an
answer. If this version be correct it amounts to an
important conoetaion, for it has been confidently re-
presented for a long while that Austria inidstednpon
her right to send troops to Belgrade with the cement
of the Porte without regard to the other powers.
The Bourse, which was rather heavy daring the
greater part of the day, suddenly improved at the
close, in consequence of rumours of the above news,
and of another that there had been a great rise ea
the Vienna Bourse. The Rents for account, after
having fluctuated between 69fr. be. and 68fr. 650.,
closed at 69fr. with a rise of be. For cash the last
price was that of Saturday, 69k. Mobitier roes
7fr. 50c. The Lyons Railway rose 7fr. 500. ;
Eastern, 6k.; and Northern, 2k. 50e. This rise,
however, was only established within the last few
minutes. Orleans fell 2fr. 50c., and the other
French lines left off without change. Austrians
roes 10k., and Victor Emmanuel 2fr. 50e.
A Marseilles letter in the Nord mikes very light
of a war with Austria, and pretends that merchants
there are quite astonished at the panic which the
prospect of such an event has produced on the
Paris Bourse. The writer reckons with confidence
upon the alliance of France with Russia, and " the
troubles in India," to keep England quiet, and thus I
comforted look' upon the " localised" war which
is likely to ensue, as an excellent opportunity for
developing the French merchant navy.
Count de Persiguy, who has lately arrived from
London, had a private audieace of tho Emperor
at the Tuileries to-day, which lasted a very long
time.
It is rumoured that the first lady of honour of the
Princess Clothilda will be Madame la Baronne
Laroncitre de Noury, the wife of the captain in the
navy now at Berlin on a special mission. This lady
is the daughter of M. Clement de Rise, senator
under the first empire.
I les= that M. Bomber, the minister of commerce,
has drawn up a new corn law, which is now before
the council of state. It is stated that the sliding
scale will be definitively abolished, and a moderate
fixed duty established. Free trek therefore goes to
the wall.
