FRANCE .

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING,

It is reported to-day that the Congress has
come to an understanding, or pretty nearly so, on
the fifth point of the conditions to be imposed on
Russia ; but I have not been able to trace the re-
port to any authentic source.

The financial circles have not taken a favourable
view of the announcement of the government, in
the .Moniteuryesterday,:that it will not grant any new
concessions of commercial enterprises this year.
They say, that the object of it is to keep capital
disposable for the loan which the government
wants. They complain also, that after having
given the greatest possible encouragement to
speculation, even to the extent of supporting affairs
not sound in themselves, the government should,
all at once, put its veto on new undertakings, good
as well as bad. The more long•headed financiers,
however, look on the Moniteur announcement as a
proof that the government sees that the financial
crisis, which has long been " looming in the future,"
is becoming unpleasantly near. And this class of
financiers whisper to each other that the Bank of
France is about to take measures to limit the dis-
count operations of its provincial branches. If the
bank should do anything of the kind, it would,
doubtless, be a proof that the expected crisis is
even closer at hand than was thought.
The Congress has held another meeting to-day.
As everything that concerns the existing nego
ciations is of interest, it may be well to state, which
I do on good authority, that in the first interview
which the Emperor had with Count Orloff, his
Majesty said, " Well, Count ; you bring us peace."
" No, sire !" was the reply, " I come to demand it!'
I may also mention that what at first gave rise to the
confidence manifested here in the conclusion of
peace, was caused by the plenipotentiaries having
replied by common accord, to all the questions put
to them, " Tout via Bien !" " Things are going on
well !"

Old Prince Jerome is rapidly getting better.
It has been stated in telegraphic despatches,
that a number of Russian vessels had quitted
Sweaborg. and that the Grand Duke Constantine
had bombastically declared, that they should
attack the English advanced guard in the Baltic.
But to-day this is positively denied on authority
of a despatch from St. Petersburgh sent to Berlin.
; Vienna journals tell us a commission is to be nomi-
nated to fix the precise limits of the proposed new
frontier in Bessarabia : also that Count Buol has
written to his government that it is hardly possible
that peace can be signed this month, but that all
is going on well.
The legislative body held a sitting to-day.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE CRIMEA,

A despatch dated Marseilles, yesterday, at 8.37
a.m., states that the Euphrate had arrived, with
advices from Constantinople of the 3rd, and from
the Crimea of the Ist inst. The White Works at
Sebastopol were blown up on the 28th of February.
Generals Timoieff, Martimprey, Windham, and
Colonel Pettiti, met on the 29th ult. at Traktir
bridge. The three latter presented conditions for
an armistice agreed upon by the Commanders-in-
Chief. General Timoieff transmitted them to
General Luders. The health of the troops is
excellent. The bad weather is over.

TURKEY.

Advices dated Marseilles, the 9th inst., announce
that the Austrian frigate Radetski had arrived at
Constantinople, bringing an Austrian colonel with
propositions relative to the Principalities. The
Patriarchs have been convoked by the Divan and
ordered to carry the late reforms into immediate
execution. The Minister of Finance has made an
appeal to the merchants to terminate the present
crisis. Omer Pasha is expected at Constantinople,
to give an account of his conduct. The Sultan
has decorated M. Cibrario, the Sardinian Minister,
and Admiral Albini, with the order of Medjidie.
The Allies continue building hut-barracks on both
banks of Constantinople. The English are sur-
veying ground for the formation of a camp in
Asia.

RUSSIA

The Invalide Russe publishes the following :

The Plenipotentiaries of&-belligerent Powers
have agreed at Paris that the Commanders-in-Chief
of the Russian and hostile armies shall sign an
armistice which will cease upon the 19th (31st) of
March, if before that time it has not been renewed
by common consent. This armistice will not have
any influence upon the blockade of our coast, already
established or to be established ; but the Com-
manders of the naval forces of the enemy will
receive orders not to undertake, so long as it lasts,
any act of hostility against our coast:

Today Aide•de-camp General Luders has sent a
telegraphic message, stating that, conformably to
the above mentioned stipulation, the commissioners
of the belligerent parties in the Crimea had a first
interview on the Tchernaya on the 17th (29th) Feb-
ruary, near the Stone Bridge, and agreed upon a
suspension of hostilities ; consequently, the neces-
sary orders have already been given to our army,
as also to that of the enemy.
