TILE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Camila of
Berlin, says;—" Several conferences have been held
this week between Prince Callimaehi and Count de
Bnol, at the last of which Sir Hamilton Seymour
was present. In spite of the agitation in the P.
cipalities, no fear is entertained here with respect to
the success of the partisans of the union, and the
cabinets of Vienna and London are engaged in
drawing up, in concert with the Porte, a reform
of the institutions of the Principalities which may
satisfy the legitimate demands of that party. We
learn, in fact, that Lord Clarendon and Count de
Baol have como to an understanding on a vas
liberal project, which, while maintaining the wpm.
tion of the governments of the Principalities, will
provide for a joint military, judicial, postal, sad
customs administration. Above all, it is necessary

to obtain the consent of Turkey to this plan, sal
she will not probably reject it."

PARIS, TEMA EVENINO.
The session of the Legisletif Corps has been
prolonged by imperial decree to the 28th May.
The numerous important measures (says the Can.
stitutionneo which remain to be discussed, in fact,
I rendered the above step indispensable. The Chamber
. . .

has not yet examined the bills respecting the Bank
of France and the Transatlantic line of steamers.
It awaits the reports concerning the projects rela-
tive to the Lyons and Mediterranean Railways, to
the fusion of the Great Central, and to the great
for the Boulevard de Sebastopol. The Chamber
' "

is engaged on a bill for an increase in the number of
deputies from the departments. It will have to vote
the budget, which will solve the question of the tax
on transferable securities. A fortnight, it will be
admitted, is not too long to complete all this work.
The present session, it is known, is the last for the
existing chamber. According to reliable reports, the
dissolution will probably immediately follow the
closing of the session, and the electoral colleges will
be convocated for the 20th and 21st June. The ash
June falls on a Saturday, and on the following day
will be accomplished the general examination of the
votes. --- - _ . .

A Paris letter in the Independance Ilelge states
that, according to recent despatches received from
M. de Courcy, French chargé d'affaires in Chine,
the government of Pekin appears disposed to afford
satisfaction for the murder of the Abbe Chapdeledae,
and that a commencement has been made by the
fact of the mandarin who was responsible for the
murder having been disgraced. The letter adds
the Papal government is organising religious mis
aims for China, in anticipation of the success of the
French expedition.
