The Cbnstitutionnel of this morning contains an
article on the affairs of Servia, signed by its prin

Statement that a conciliatory note has been received

The speedy solution of this difficulty, in which
Auitria makes an act of deference to public opinion in
-Europe, cannot but strengthen the confidence in the
maintenance of peace, and complete the calming of the

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
PARIS, Monday Evening.
A high municipal functionary entertained at
prier,
yesterday, one of the Cabinet ministers—l
117mte the Minister of the Interior—and to meet
turn were invited the Prefects of Police and the
ei„Tie, the members of the Municipal Commission
vj -raris, and certain other persons of corporative
,v*ction. The conversation naturally turned on
the great topic of the day—peace or war. The
,Intnister was asked his opinion, when, as I am
`informed, he replied unhesitatingly—
We shall not have war and it is to the persevering
'efforts of more than ,one distinguished person that France
owes the maintenance of peace.
The writers .charged with the correspondence of
certain foreign newspapers, furnished by the Go-
°Znrnent have received orders to announce that
there will be no war. Generally speaking the
language of official people is more and more-pacific.
Lrobably the moment has not arrived, and that
"lough war may not be entirely abandoned, it is
postponed to a much later date. On the other
hand it is affirmed in some quarters that the pre-
Parations have not relaxed. The feeling, however,
for peace is still general.
The following letter has been received from
Marseilles, dated Saturday last :

The Commissary-General in this town is purchasing
large quantities of provisions. Re purchased to-day by
Contract 9,000 metrical quintals of wheat. Several of
the first houses here sent in tenders. The tender of M.
13rousse, of Montpellier, was -accepted for the supply of
6,000 metrical quintals at 23f. 50c. the quintal, and one
from M. Vie Auduze, of Narbonne, for the supply of
3,000 metrical quintals at 231. 21c. the quintal. The corn
market here is heavy, and no reaction is expected until
'the Spanish ports are again opened for the admission of
foreign corn.. The reports of war current here for the
last eight days produced only a rise of 50c. the measure
nf 160 litres. Our stock of wheat in the stores does not
-exceed 100,000 hectolitres. The small quantity would
produce arise were it not for the immense quantity of
flour which arrives here from the Cole d'Or, and which
finds a ready sale among the bakers and in Corsica.
Our speculators have discontinued their operations in
consequence of the uncertainty as to the maintenance of
peace. Wheat from Taganrog, of the weight of 81
kilogrammes 250 grammes the hectolitre, 'finds buyers
among the manufacturers of vermicelli at 181. 43c. Rye
from the Danube is quoted at 12f. 50c. the 75 kilo-
grammes ; barley 13f. 50c. 'the 100 kilogrammes. I
cannot describe to you how much the small merchants
are suffering' from the dulness of trade. Their receipts
are reduced in an astonishing proportion. This is
The railway stores here are overcrowded with machinery
for the Lombard, Roman, and Spanish railways, which
is despatched by sailing vessels.

electors of the Charente Inferieure, in which these
Words occur :

Called for the first time, in November, 1847, to a seat
in the Chamber of Deputies, I became constantly asso-
ciated by energetic votes with the most advanced
members of the Oppositon. I was one of the ninety-six
deputies who accepted the invitation to the banquet of
the twelve arrondissements of Paris ; and, subsequently,
one of the fifty-four members of the Chambers who,
anticipating by a few hours the justice of the people,
proposed the impeachment of an odious and guilty
Ministry. lam a Republican by reason, by sentiment,
by conviction. It is not as a pis alley nor as a tempo-
rary resource that I accept the Republic. I accept it as
the only form of government which can henceforth
secure the greatness and the prosperity of France. After
the melancholy experience we have had for the last 50
years, after the successive overthrow of three Govern-
ments of different origin (the Restoration, the Empire,
and Orleans), but all founded on monarchial principles,
I am convinced that Royalty has completed its time in
Franc, and that it has no longer any roots, any basis in
the country.

AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Jan. 15th

The Oesterreichische Corrispondenz announces
that certain " deplorable demonstrations" which
were made by the students at Pauda, on the
occasion of the interment of Professor Zambra,
were speedily put an end to. The Ministerial
organ gives no details but some reliable private
information relative to the kraval (tumult) in
question has to-day reached me. M.`Zambra died
outside the walls of the city, and theriudents on the
day of the funeral went out to the house where
the remains of their deceased teacher were lying.
When the coffin was carried to the grave, the
students followed in procession, and behaved with
due decorum until they reached the cemetery. Soon
after their arrival there, however, they began to
shout " Evviva 1' Italia !" and three of them advanc-
ing to the grave, in which the coffin had in the
meantime been placed, dropped into it three tri-
coloured cockades. After this ceremony, the
Young men again raised the cry of Evviva r Italia,
and prepared to depart. They were, however, met
at the gate of the cemetery by the police, and
several of the seniors arrested. In the course of
the ensuing day it was announced that, as the
University would for a time be closed, those
students who were not natives of the city of Padua
were to return to their respective homes without
e`elay. In all probability the punishment of
the youthful entillo3StS will be, that they will
