(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, BATURDAT

The French journals of this morning sliow much
discouragement; but the Assemble Nationale (sup-
posed to:be in the interest of Russia) still clings to
the hope of some pacific arrangement being-.hit
upon at Olmutz. This journal' argues that the real
friends of Turkey would have acted more wisely in
counselling •to her a more humble policy. The
Pays (Journal de. 'Empire) condemns Severely
the reported' conduct of the Ullemas, and points to
the necessity of-upholding the power of the sultan
against the turbulent efforts of faction.

The Moniteur reports the progress of the Ern=
.
peror and Empress, and the 'acclamations or -an
admiring people, whose enthusiasm is still main-
tained at fever heat.. • The clergy, as usual, tape the
lead. Here is the concluding, passage of . the
address of. M. Palisis, bishop of Arias .

but as the instrument of the immense blessings 01

This journal, in announcing the dividend of 30f.
on Orleans shares, for the first half year; :anticipates
a brilliant career for that line, calculating a pro-
bable dividend of -40 f for the second half year,
which would amount to 70f, with the prospect of
realizing 80 and even 90f hereafter. .If the divi-
dend this year be 70f, it is'equivalent to about .4i.s:

taken of a 'difference of about £1 in the price of
Strasburgs, in London and Paris. There is •no
further intelligence of the fusion of the Normanlines, but they are expected to rise after that-has
taken place.

Letters from Vienna, of the 19th, quote -the
Gazette de Constadst, which confirms the intelli-
gence, that the Russians had quitted their camp;
near Bucharest, and formed another higher up the
Danube, in a Westerly direction—and that th;e
Turks had made a similar movement. The Czar
was expected at Olmutz, on thiS day, (24th,) ac-
companied by the two Grand Dukes, Princes
Parkewitch and Orloff, and other notables.
General Changarnier has returned to Malines...

from Constantinople, which announce that the

SUNDAY, SEPT

The Constitutionnell, of this morning, speaks in a
guarded manner of the Czar's second notc, but ad-
mits that the situation is entirely changed, and
that the Four Powers may have different duties to
perform._

- Both the Journal, and the Pays, give, by antici-
pation, the address of the English residents, at
Bologne, to.the Emperor, now lying for signatur
at Alerridew's Library. The address is rather of a
fulsome character, and it is not certain that it will
be presented at all.

The exhibition of the works sent by the French
students, from Rome, takes place to-day, at the
Ecole des Beaux arts, and will last for a week.
FIVE, P.M. —The contents of the London evening
papers have taken us by surprise. Decidedly the
Londoners beat the Parisians hollow in obtaining
the latest intelligence. You will have observed
that the fall, at yesterday's Bourse, was insignifi-
cant, but to-morrow we shall look out for squalls.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.—AII Paris is in a
state of feverish anxiety at the aspect of the
Eastern question, and .mainly because it is im-
possible to determine what is its present position:
We know that, upon the responsibility of M. de la
Cour, the French Ambassador, at Constantinople,
a portion of the fleets of England and France have
passed the Dardanelles and we know, also, that
the nominal object of this movement is to protect
the foreign residents there. But .we do not know
how the proceeding is regarded by Russia or Austria
—and here is the point which most stimulates poli-
tical curiosity. There can be no doubt that it is an
infraction of the treaty of 1841. Nor can there be
much doubt that, in a few days, after it is known by
Russia, M. de Nesselrode will issue another State
paper, in which he will defend the continued occu-
pation of the Principalities, on the ground of this
fact. If, according to Russian notions, the anchor-
ing of the British fleet at Besika, and of the
French fleet in the same vicinage, was a construc-
tive violation of the treaty, which justified the
invasion of the Principalities, much more may the
actual presence of the allied squadrons, before
Constantinople, be urged as a reason for retaining
possession of the Turkish territory. Thus, out of
one primary wrong, there arises numerous col-
lateral criminations and recriminations, which do
but embarass the situation. It is said here, that
Anstria *views, with serious displeasure, this de-
cisive step, on the part of France and England ;
and that Count Buol had sent an intimation from
Vienna, beforehand, both to London and Paris,
that if any measure of this sort were to be actually
taken, the Emperor would order an advance of
troops into Servia. The quarter from whence this.
statement proceeds, is one entitled to credit; and
I place considerable faith in it. It only requires •
some such step, or some such deelaration, to com
plete the alliance between-Austria, and Russia. On
the whole, after what has occurred with the fleet,
the turn opinion here, is, that all the Powers are
too far committed to enable them to avoid war.

Turkish Ministers, acid that, ht thiS dinner, he
paid distinguished attention to tliza Pastra,
ci-devant minister,: whom he, formerly, resisted
with all his might, and eVen persecuted after his
fall. It is perfectly astonishing, to us Englishmen.
that the violence of party shotad blind the jUdg-
ment of sensible men, upon Snell indifferent things
as the entertainments which our ministers abroad
give to .distinguished personS. We never dream
of interpreting them, except in very special cases,
by a pblitieitl key. In the presdht efti3e, this hos-
' pitalitY is susceptible ok Very coininoti,place
explanation. It is this—and, certainly, it does
partake somewhat of a pOlitiCal. character, but,
not in the sense of coolness; between the ministers
of France and England, at Constantinople. Every
body knows that there is great excitement there,
and that strong feelings are- opposed—sathe Wish,
ing for instant war with RUsSia; without biding
for the allies of Turkey, and, some, more.prudent,
desiring to be guided only •by the • determination
of the allies, Now, in this state of feeling, among
.some of the great men of Turkey, what Was more
natural than that Lord Redcliffe should endeavour
to compose their differences; and heal their divi
sioyis, by bringing a few of them together ? Here
is the whole explanation. Whether the- result
corresponded to the design; is another question.

The Emperor and EmPres.s are confirming their
progress in the north. Their journey has been
a perfect ovation. The addresses they have
received, are full of adulation, even to fulsomeness;
and they have been compelled to attend to the
recitation of a good deal of wretched stuff, which
has been exalted, in honour of the occasion, to the
dignity of poetry, only to lose it again the next
hour.

The price of corn is higher in Frnnee now than
it has been for several years..past, and as a neces-

;my consequence there has been much suffering
among the poor here. The

,s you

are denbtles-s aware, have, according to the strange
syStem which prevails here, afforded what relief
they could. The costs of conveyance. have been
reduced, and importations now come in at a nom-
inal duty. It now appears that things are better.
The harvest is much more productive than was
fore Seen. Potatoes are plentiful, and of excellent
quality ; a fall in prices is:expeeted, as the far-
mers who have been holding back their supplies

will have to compete with the importations that
are beginning to come in from America, and other
producing countries. On the other hand, but-
6ber' meat is 10 per cent higher than it was a
fortnight ago. .

At the 'houise to-day the FoUr-and-a-Half per
Cents. were stationary for the. Account, at 101 f.
50c. ; the Three per Cents.. fell 20,centimes—that
is t0.75f. 65e. There has been a good deal of
movement all day but of no materiality. Railway
Shares are rather higher.

The Emperor of Russia will Tiobably protract
matters until the spring, and then, when the
Weather permits the Balkan. to be crossed, he will
set his troops in movement against Constantinople.
ShOUld the Turks commence their hostilities, it is
thought that the Czar will then declare Moldavia
and Wallachia to be annexed to the Russian Em-
pire,.and seize on the whole Sof their administra-
tion—ready, as before, in spring; •to march on the
capital of Turkey.

A. letter from Berlin of the. 23rd says :—" It is
believed that the Emperor:of ItUssia, after having
been iresent at the manecuyreS of the camp of
Olmutz, will pass some tithe in our capital."

There are now 25,000 men remaining in the
camp M oimutz ; the remaider of the troops, par-
ticularly the cavalry, have entered cantonments.
Among the tents of the officers, is that of Lieu-
tenant-General de Grunne, which attracts great

attention. It formerly belonged to the Grand
Vizir Kara Mustapha, and was taken from the
Turks at the time of the second siege of Vienna
in 1683.

Lord'Brougham, and Lord Lansdowne, I under-
stand, have. denied the truth of the 'rumour in cir-
culation here, that Lord Aberdeen was about to

LORD PALMERSTON IN

SCOTLAND.

[PROM OUR OWN REPORTER.]

GlasgoW,

day afternoon

Yesterday afternoon the freedom of the ancien& city of
Perth was presented to the Right Hon... Viscount Palmers-
ton, who was on his way from Balmoral to Glasgow, where
to-day he received a similar honour. His lordship
'reached the city in the forenoon, and. was received by the
Municipal Authorities; Lord Kinnaird, the Hon, Arthur
Kinnaird, M.P., and ethers, and was aceoinpanied by them
to the City Hall, where the presentation took place. The
Hall was crowded to excess by a lgrge assemblage of the

citizens, including a galaxy of the fair maids and matrons o.

• His Lordship on entering the hall. was receiVed•With rap-
turous applause by all present, and after the usual formali-
ties had been gone through, the freedom of the city was pre-
sented to the. noble viscount, by the 'Hon. the Lord pro-
vost, who delivered a tasteful and appropriate. address, in
which he briefly adverted to some Of the most prominent
services which Lord Palmerston has rendered to the
'CouUtry, as Foreign Secretary, and finished by putting the
burgess ticket, enclosed in an elegant case, made from a piece
of the wood which is said to have formed. a part of the honk
in which the " Fair Maid of Perth" resided in former days.
—After the Town Clerk had administered the usual
oaths, • • . • .

• Viscount PALMERSTON rose, and was greeted with the
most enthusiastic applause. He beghu by saying : I can
assure you, my Lord Provost and gentlemen of the Corpo-
ration, that I feel most deeply sensible of the great honour
which you have just conferred upon: tue. It is a matter of
great pride and satisfaction to me to find myself thus in
some degree connected with the great and distinguished body,
the City of Perth, (Cheers). I have viewed with the greatest
admiration the magnificent country which surrounds what I
may venture to call your capital---a country which, com-
paring it with the state in which I saw it,---I will not say
how many years ago, when, as a young tourist, I passed
through it,---excites unbounded admiration for the intel-
ligence, the industry, and the skill of the people who inhabit
it. (Cheers). I may indeed say that your country is a kind
of emblem of your national character for, while on the one
hand it presents those bold elevations• which are the gifts of
nature, on the other hand, it exhibits• the higher cultivation
Which human skill can confer. (year, hear, and cheers).
My birthplace and my interests lie, indeed, in other parts of
the United Kingdom, but I may claim, at least, one kind of
tie with Scotland. For what signifies it where a man be
born; of what practical value are his interests, if he has not
had the benefit of that cultivation which education bestows ?
Wherever any important part of a man's education has
been given him, to that place must his affections recur
during the whole of his subsequent life. Now, gentlemen,
it was my good fortune to pass three years in Edinburgh,
under the roof and wider the instruction of that great and
good man---Dugald Stewart (Cheers)—a man not more
distinguished for the• great capacity of his mind, for his
power to rise to the highest summits of science, to penetrate
the deepest mysteries of metaphysics, than for his sterling
qualities of heart and of disposition, which make talent
practically useful, and which add dignity to genius. (Cheers.)
Gentlemen, the Lord Provost has been kind enough to advert
to some passages in my public life. lie but rightly inter-
preted the sentiments which guided me, when he said that I
embraced readily and cordially those principles of parlia-
mentary and municipal reform which, however much they
excited doubts in the minds of many men at the time when
they were broached, have, I think, now gained universal
concurrence by the practical experience of good which they
have conferred on all classes of this great empire. (Loud
cheers.) And whatever opinions any man may have enter-
tained at the time when that great battle was fought, there
is not, I believe, an individual in the country who would now
for one instant contemplate any retrogressioninregard to these
great measures. (Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, it was, as the
Lord Provost has been pleased to say, my anxious desire, while
the charge of our foreign relations was committed to myhands,
in the first place to maintain unimpaired the interests, and
untarnished the honour and the dignity of the country. But
yet beyond these interests and that honour there were cer-
tainly two objects which I held constantly in view, and
which to a great degree the Government of which I was a
member succeeded in accomplishing. The; one was to

encourage the difftision of constitutional principh

The Lord Provost has just said that our efforts succeeded in

that the step we were taking was one that was
approved, and your presence here to-day, and the honor you
have now conferred upon us, is satisfactory evidence that you
-all concur with us in what we have done. (Loud applause.)
Before retiring, the meeting, at the suggestion of the
Lord Provost, gave, in succession, three lusty cheers for the
Queen, her Majesty's ministers, and the youngest burgesi of
of the city, which brought the proceedings to a close ;
and immediately afterwards his lordship proceeded to the
Guild-hall to receive the freedom of the incorporation,
