PARIS, TSUJI/DAT EVIININS.

A council of ministers, at which the Emperor pre-
sided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries. The
council sat from nine o'clock till twelve.

I happen to know positively that M. de Hiwlef
lately gave out in conversation that Russia did not
care about the union of the Principalities, and had
come to no positive decision on the subject. This,
however, was, there can be little doubt, a mere
diplomatic ruse. Russia desires above all things the
union of the Danubian provinces upon precisely the
same principles that Nero wished that the
people of Rome had but one neck. The
Nord of Brussels now affirms that Russia has
not abandoned her views in favour of the union of the
Principalities; and that the assertions of the Eng-
lish press on that point aro without foundation.
Russia, it says, maintains, and will persist in main-
taining, the opinion on the subject pronounced by
her representatives in the Congress of Paris.
There is the greatest reason to suppose that the
recent article of the Mositeur is a symptom of an
intimate understanding on the subject between
France and Russia.

The Bourse has been extremely good, under the
influence of a rise of per cent. in Consols. It was,
moreover, stated that money had become relatively
plentiful, and that the great Paris bankers were in-
quiring for paper. The Bank returns are expected
to be satisfactory. The Bente rose 16e. for cub,
sad 20c. for account, closing at 68fr. 25c. and
18fr. 55c. Mobilier rose 13fr. Some of the railways
improved from Mr. to 7fr. 50c., and the others were
about 2fr. 60c. higher.
M. Isaac Pereire is now in London, whither, ac-
cording to report, he has gone to negotiate a fusion
between the Credit Mobilier and the company
beaded by M. Doneng.

A letter from Toak-et of the 11th says it is almost
certain that the Grand Duke Constantine, who is
Grand Admiral of the Damian Sect, will pay a Tint
to the port and arsenal in the second fortnight of
April. A grand maritime fete will be given on the
occasion, in which the entire squadron of evolution
will bear a part. Orders have been given to hasten
the completion of certain vowels now on the stocks,
and it is hoped that the steamer Yontenoy, and the
serene frigate La Foadre, will be ready for launch-
ing when the Prince arrives. The navy will be
ordered to give the Grand Duke a particularly cor-
dial reception.

Testeiday, while the Empress was creasing the
public garden of the Tuileries, to return to the
reserved garden within the railings, a young man
rushed from tho crowd of spectators, and threw
himself at her Majesty's feet. The evening papers
my that ho was immediately arrested, and was
found to be insane.

Tho Hereditary Prince of Wartemberg is shortly
expected in Paris.
On Saturday next Marshal Prince Jerome gives a
grand ball, which the Emperor and Empires will
attend.

An immense sensation was created in certain
coteries of Paris a few days ago, by a 'Wawa in
the last number of the Memoirs of the Duke de
Raguse, that in 1814, Prince Engine, being on the
frontier at the head of 40,000 men, deliberately dis-
regarded an order of the Emperor to march, because
his confident* in the imperial cause was on the wane.
The following letter on tho subject appears in the
Sick:

Tiler, is a strong party feeling an the question,
and it comet fail to be further investigated. Many
assert that all the revelations al Manliest, Duke d
Raguse, are strictly true, and that both Prince
Eugene and Murat fell away from the Emperor lace
rata leaving a sinking ship.
Mgr. Marlot, Archbishop of Paris, has arrived in
the capital from Tows, and taken up his residing,
in the Archiepiscopal Palace in the Rue de Orem&
