EVACUATION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES

BY THE AUSTRIANS.

A telegraphic despatch, received at Vienna, states
that the last infantry detachments of the corps of
occupation of Moldavia had embarked at Ismail on
March 14, to return to Austria.
A letter from Vienna of the 13th, in the Nerers•
berg Correspondent says:

The affair of the i'ri;cipalitios appears to have
changed its aspect, in consequence of the hesitations of Eng.
liah policy. It is said that the Austrian cabinet has dies
covered certain indications which show that not tomb reliance
can be placed on the support of England on the question of
the union, and fears are entertained that she will go over to
the Franco-Russian camp. In order to prevent this sa
much u poseible, Count d'Appony, the Austrian mobsesedoe
in London, who has been bore for vane time on leave of ab-
sence, left for London, instead of waiting for the arrival of
the Emperor, as he had intended.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PEON OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TCESDAT ETP.NINO.

The Pays certifies that all the rumours on the
subject of the differenoe between Prussia and
Switzerland are devoid of foundation. But inasmuch
as these rumours are not homogeneous, the general
traverse of the government journal adds nothing
valuable to our stock of information. According to
some rumours the King of Prussia has entered into
no engagement whatever with regard to the renun.
elation of his rights in Neufchatel; another story is
that he only wants Switzerland to acknowledge
those rights to the fullest extent by way of prelimi-
nary, and then see whether he will not be polite
enough to give them up afterwards ; a third rumour
is that the whole affair is in reality settled, and that
the King's affected resistance is merely like that of
a coquette who wishes to enhance the value of her
favours. The Independance Beige pretends that M.
de Hatzfeldfs last instructions have been taken in
dudgeon by the French government, and that Count
Walewski has been instructed to address a very tart
note to the Marquis de Moustier, the French
ambassador at Berlin. To which of these divers
rumours, all more or less accredited, does the
Pays mean to give a fiat contradiction ? En attendant,
the answer to the question, thC stereotyped news of
the day, is " there has been no sitting of the Neuf.
chatel Conference." . .

The Petrie says :—" The indications which reach
us to-day, relative to the Neufchatel Conference,
lead to the hope that the third meeting of the pie-
nipotentiaries will take place very soon."
I learn privately that M. de Hatzfeldt expects
detailed instructions from Berlin to-night or to.
morrow, and it is thought, judging from the nature
of the despatches brought by M. de Rosenberg last
, week, that they will be conciliatory. This is
probably the foundation for the above paragraph
in the Petrie. An opinion is entertained
among those who live in the atmosphere
of the foreign office that the Conference will cer-
tainly be resumed in a day or two. It is positively
denied in the same quarter that anything like an
angry diplomatic note has been recently sent from
Paris to Berlin.
Ferukh Khan will have an audience of the Em•
peror to-morrow to take leave, and on Thursday he
and the entire Persian embassy will leave Paris fee
London.

The enormous number of 125 Ktudentl were ex.

mutiny. I have not learned any particulars, except
that they gave a beating to the adjutant, who had
reported their conduct to the commanding officer,
and that when charged with their offences they boldly
I declared their intention to stand by oneanother. The
Emperor, it is said, was rather opposed to this
sweeping measure of severity which has been taken,
but yielded to the representations of Marshal Mag.

favourite.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the I3th contain d
account of the trial of General Prim by cords
martial. The general, it seems, refused to ap
pear before the court, because he thought d
had been treated with indignity in being brotigil
up in custody from Toledo. General Reim,
who acted as prosecutor, in a speech to the
court, represented that it was absolutely neon•
sary that officers of the highest grades ilia
set the example of submission and respect W
the military laws and regulations; and be ease
tended that General Prim, by the letter be
had
addressed to the newspapers reflecting on the governs
mcnt, had violated those laws and regulations. Hi
therefore demanded that his name should be strut
out of the army list, and that he should be widened
to a year's imprisonment. General %Ayala, defender
of General Prim, contended that the latter hid pat
violated the regulations, and that he ought to 1:4
acquitted. The court, after deliberation, decide'
that the general should remain under arrest for os
months, but not be deprived of his grade ct
honours.
A noted Carlist chief, named Noy de las Barre
