FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING

4ORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1866.

A. telegraphic despatch from Strasburg an
nounces that Baron Brunnow, one of the Russian
Plenipotentaries, passed through that city this
morning at eleven o'clock, and that he will arrive
here this evening at ten, by the Strasburg railway.
A Berlin despatch says that Count Orloff, the
other Russian negociator, is to arrive in that city
to-morrow morning, en route for Paris. From
Vienna we learn that Count Buol, the Austrian
negociator, was to set out to-day, and he will arrive
on Friday. Lord Clarendon and Count Cavour
will also arrive on that day.

--., •
Although peace is looked on as a Alt accompli in
most circles in the city, I can mention a fact
which will cause the prudent still to doubt.
This fact is that the Emperor the other day
displayed great annoyance on hearing the prefect
of one of the departments dwell in glowing
terms on the reduction which peace will, amongst
other things, effect in the price of wheat. The
good man had expected to find the Emperor ready
to catch eagerly at anything which should appear
an additional inducement for making peace,
and he was quite abashed on seeing that
hehad said what was not agreeable. Another
little fact worthy of consideration is that yesterday
the Emperor received Prince Czartoryski and
General Count Zamoyski, chiefs of the Polish
emigration. It is a rare honour for Polish exiles
to be admitted to the French Court, and the
honour is the more remarkable as the latter is
commander of the regiment of Polish Cossacks,
in the service of the Sultan, and he is on the eve
of leaving for Constantinople. I can further
inform you, on good authority, that not only have
the military preparations of the French govern-
ment not ceased, but that within the last few
days they have been carried on with increased

-A. decree in the Moniteur fixes the number of
young men to be supplied by each deparment of
the empire, to make up the levy of 140,000 of the
class of 1855. This levy is the same as was made
last year, and it certainly, taken per se, is not of a
nature to indicate much confidence in the conclu-
sion of peace ; but it would, nevertheless, not be
right to regard it per se, as a proof of the continu-
ance of the war.

It is remarked that the Moniteur only announces,
this morning, the departure, for the Crimea, of
General Martimprey, chief of the staff, though (as
I told you) it took place some (lays back.
Reports that the Empress had had another
miscarriage have been current for the last few
days, but they are unfounded.

in.some of the Western and Southern depart-
ments numerous arrests have
,lately been made,
and others are being made almost daily. It has
been considered necessary besides to adopt mili-
tary and other precautions. The government, it
seems, has discovered, or has reason to suspect,
the existence of a formidable Republican
conspiracy. It is said that several of the
exiled republican chiefs, and amongst them
Barbes, have lately returned secretly to
France : but if a report that is current that the
government has for political reasons imperatively
called on two Bishops to resign their sees be true,
it would appear that the conspiracy referred to is
got up by a different party.
The semi-offisial Patrie this evening reproduces
very ostentatiously copious extracts from a pamph-
let by a Spaniard on the Central American question,
in which " great and glorious France" is earnestly
called on to interfere between the United States
and England, and to protect the independence of
the Central States

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday, the coroner held an
inquest on the body of a man, named James Mitchell, who
was accidentally drowned, by falling into the Brunswick-
