I find that doubts are expressed in diplomatic
qu'arters, of the truth of the statement of the
Daily News of London, of Count Orloff having
called on the Einperor for explanations about the
Austro-Franco-English treaty, for the protection
of Turkey; also of the statement of the Times of
London; of the Emperor having written an auto-
gragh letter of explanations on the subject to
the Czar Alexander. The French goVeriament has
not published the treaty, nor made the existence
of it known in any way ; so that, according to
diplomatic etiquette, Count Orloff had no right to
ask for explanations, and it is said by some per-
sons that in point of fact he has asked for none,
though (as I told you many days back), he was
both surprised and indignant at finding 'that the
treaty existed. It will be, it appears, from
England that explanations will be asked for-
It is said that the French government is
very angry at the treaty being published, as it
was meant to, be kept secret.

A decree reduces the contingent to be demanded
for 1857 from 140,000 to 100,000 young men.

The government is about to present bills to the
Legislative Body for preventing the innumerable
frauds in connection with partnership societies,
whether en conanandite or anonynzes.
I am told that the Emperor has received infor-
mation by telegraph, that in consequence of the
serious indisposition of the Dowager Queen of
Sweden, she will not be able to be in Paris before
the end of July, and consequently not in time for
the baptism of the Emperor's child. Prince Oscar,
however, has already set out for this city.

The King of Wurtemburg left Paris this morning
to return home. H 3 yesterday visited the Hotel
des Invalides and the Grand Opera. He expresses
himself highly pleased with his visit, and of course
speaks in the highest terms of the Emperor. In
the course of a set speech addressed by him to
his Majesty, he, I am told, expressed the hope
that his visit would have the effect of removing
much of the which has hitherto existed
between France and the minor States of Germany,
and would cause the latter to look with more con-
fidence to the former.

The Austrian Ambassador, Baron Hubner, left
this city this morning for Strasburg, to meet the
Austrian Archduke, Maximilian, who is to arrive
there this evening.

A Marseilles despatch says that at Malta, on the
sth, a violent conflict took place between a portion
of the Anglo-Italian Legion and the police, and the
English troops, the latter aided by the inhabitants.
A police inspector was killed, and an officer of
marines was wounded. Several Italians and
Maltese were arrested. On the Bth the legion wis
in full revolt, and had entrenched themselves in a
fort, but troops were to be employee against them.

PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY

The Peninsular and Oriental company's steamship
Sultan, Captain Niel Cook, with the usual Peninsular
mail, arrived here this morning at seven o'clock. Her
dates are—Gibraltar, May 5 ; Cadiz, May 6; Lisbon,
May 9; Oporto, May 10; avid Vigo, May 11.
The Sultan brings 39 passengers, and her freight con-
sists of 8 packages specie value £1,567, 37 cases of eggs,
1,616 half chests oranges, 792 elephants' teeth, and 42
packages sundries.

- By this mail there is no news of importance from. Lis-
bon. The weather had improved, and after seven months
of continual rain, there appeared some chance of
summer.

The cutter Spicier, belonging to the Royal Yacht Club,
arrived from Cork on the 7th instant. The Royal mail
steamer Avon, expected with the Brazil mails, had not
reached Lisbon when the Sultan left, nor the French
steamer Cadiz, also expected from Brazil.
The Lisbon exchanges for three months are quoted this
mail at 541 on London ; Paris, ;520; Amsterdam, 434;
Hamburgh, 491; and Genoa, 517. Transactions are
limited to Paris, Hamburg, and London, and upon the
latter bills remained over at 54i, takers requiring 541.
The Stock Market was very dulrat 401 to 404 ex div.,
for Three per Cents.; Bank of Portugal shares, 500 to
502 ; Oporto Bank Shares, 18 to 20 per cent. premium.
Intelligence from Gibraltar reports that the American
barque Elizabeth, of New York, in attempting to boat
out of the Straits, had got ashore on the rock off Cabrita
Point, but was afterwards released with the loss of a por-
tion of her cargo.
