FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

The Moniteur announces to-day that Baron de
Brunow (whose arrival in this city was notified to
you some days back) has presented letters to the
Emperor, accrediting him on an " extraordinary
mission" from the Emperor of Russia. This has
occasioned some surprise, as it is known that the
Baron has been appointed minister of his court at
Berlin, as his extraordinary mission might as well
be given to Count Orloff, who still remains here ;
and, as above al], it shows on the part of
Russia none of that anxious desire to place
her diplomatic relations with France on a
definitive and peculiarly friendly footing which
she is supposed to entertain. It is eon-
sidered, too, a proof that Russia is really
seriously offended at the treaty of the 15th April
between Austria, France, and Turkey, for the
protection of the Ottoman Empire, and she feels
that that treaty either contains some secret articles,
or is accompanied by another of a still graver
nature.

The question of Consulates in the Black Sea
occupies a good deal of attention in the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs ; but I am told that thus far
nothing has been decided in the matter beyond
the re-establishment of Consulates in places where
they formerly existed, and the nomination of
Consuls to them. The new places in which there
are to be Consuls have not yet been selected, nor
have any appointments to them been made.

Some'of the Belgian and French papers pretend
that the King of Naples has sent a protest to the
different governments against the memorandum
on the state of Italy presented by Count de Cavour
to the Peace Congress, but I am assured, on good
authority, that the French government has not
received information of his having done any such
thing, or intending to do it.

I am informed that a treaty for the protection of
literary property has just been concluded between
Saxony and France. It will be very advantageous
to French authors, as it is in Saxony that most of
the German piracies of their works are made;
and, besides, it renders it probable that all the
German states will follow the example of that
country.

It is stated to me, from a good source, that not-
withstanding all that may be said in the news-
papers, neither France nor the United States has
yet come to any definite arrangement with Den
mark about the Sound Dues. _ _

Prince Oscar, of Sweden, arrived here at four
o'clock this afternoon, and was received at the
station by Prince Napoleon and Marshal Vaillant,
the minister of war. He and his suite were at once
conveyed in state carriages to St. Cloud. To-mon-ow
it is said a grand review in the Plaine de Fatory
is to be given in his honour and in that of the
Archduke Maximilian, who still remains here.
A German journal pretends that England and
France, in communicating the treaty of the 15th
April to foreign governments, have declared" that
it must not be considered as expressing distrust
in the continuation of peace, and is only meant to
establish that the alliance between the three
powers remains unchanged."
