FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

Various accounts have gone the round of the
papers with respect to the alleged movements of
Feruk Khan, the Persian Ambassador. According to
one version he was about to leave Paris immediately
for London, after having brought his conferences
with Lord Cowley to a satisfactory conclusion ;
another went so far as to name the street in
London, and even the number of the house, in
which he was to take up his residence ; a third,
that he had already packed up his baggage,
and was to have left Paris this day or to morrow,
but that some new difficulty had occurred, which
would postpone his journey for some few days
more, or indefinitely. None of these accounts is
strictly correct. No day was fixed for Feruk
Khan's departure for London. There has been
very little or nothing said about his departure
at all, and, in point of fact, the " difficulty" has
been pretty much the same from the commence-
ment of the negotiations to the present moment.
The Orientals, as many know to their cost, are
never very expeditious in their diplomacy, and I
doubt much whether Ferukh Khan is an exception.
The basis of the pending negotiations may be
modified by the last news from Teheran ; but,
notwithstanding the delay, it is hoped that an
arrangement is still within the limits of probability.
Notwithstanding the doubts I have just expressed,
I give you the following paragraph from the govern-
ment evening paper :
Several journals have announced that the Anglo Persian
difference iS in a a fair course of arrangement. We believe
we may announce, according to our private information,
that the principal difficulties are at present arranged, and
that an understanding has been come to on both sides on
the conditions on which peace is to be re established. We
expect in a few dais to know the terms of the definitive
arrangement to the conclusion of which the stay of Feruk
Khan at Paris has not been foreign.

The Presse of lait night speaks of the " intended
publication of a Russian circular note, showing
the conformity of the views of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg with those of the Tuileries on the
union of the Principalities." I understand it is
positively denied at the Russian embassy here
that it is intended to issue any such circular. The
denial of the Russian embassy ought, however, to
be taken for no more than it is worth—and that is
very little.

Accounts from the shores of the Caspian, state
that the 13th Division of Russian Infantry, under
the orders of General Chruleff, took position on
the 28th of January at Djabal, at the confluence of
the Araxes and the Kour. On the' following day
Abberan Khan, sent by the Governor of Farsistan
on a private mission, had a long conference with
General Chruleff at the head quarters of the latter
The Patrie announces that two ships of the
British fleet in the Black Sea have left for Malta,
Admiral Lord Lyons, it is said, means to remain
until the departure of the Austrian trooops from
the Danubian principalities, which, according to
accounts from Jassy, is to take place on the sth
March, orders to that effect having been despatched
from Vienna.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 9th inst.,
says ;

It has been pretended that the question of the heredi-
tary descent of princely dignity in the Danubian provinces
is neoessarily connected with that of the union of the
principalities. No doubt union implies hereditary right,
but the latter by no means supposes union. It has already
declared in the second article of the Treaty of Balta
Liman, May 1, 1849. that the hospodars shall be only
named provisionally for seven years, and that one year
before the expiration of their powers the question would
be examined as to whether they should be continued in
office, or whether other arrangements should be made
according to the conduct observed by the hospodars. The
principle of hereditary right consevently has existed for
a long period in the provinces, and its application cannot
become doubtful, except that, contrary to all probability,
the union should no be accomplished. From all that we
have learn,: from the opinion of our Government, Russia
is completely agreed with France on the question of the
union. Several persons are mentioned for the princely
dignity, but these are only conjectures, and it is certain
that Russia as yet has not declared in favour of any of the
pretenders.

A letter from Hong Kong, of the 31st December,
announces the arrival there from Canton of the
French frigate Virginie, bearing the flag of Admiral
Guerin. Great excitement prevailed among the
Chinese population in consequence of the news
received from Canton. A report was current on
the 28th that the factories were to be attacked
during the night. The Virginie landed 120 of her
crew to protect them. All remained quiet, and
by the latest accounts the public peace was not
disturbed, and confidence was in some measure
restored.

A private letter from Madrid of the 15th inst:
states that the English reading world in that city
have been greey surprised at a recent article in
one of your morning contemporaries, which
reached Madrid on the 14th, not only giving the
Spanish Government credit for merits which,
notwithstanding its good opinion of itself, it never
dreamed of possessing, but stating additionally
that M. Gonzales Bravo was the very best of all
possible selections as Ambassador to London, and
that his nomination had metCwith the entire
approbation of Lord Howden. Now, it is a fact known
to every one for the last two months, and which I
have more than once stated, that Lord Howden
suggested M. Isturiz, first in his own name, and
afterwards in that of his Government ; and that he
has, in common with every man who respects his
country, condemned such an appointment, both
officially, and in social conversation. I merely
mention what fifty people may have heard ; and
I cannot help saying, with so absurb a statement
in my recollection, that your contemporary has
lately, with regard to Spain, shut its ears and
opened its mouth in a most extraordinary manner
However, nobody thinks now about M. Gonzales
Bravo. All attention is taken up by the two en-
grossing subjects of the Queen's unexecuted jour-
ney to Andalusia, and the preparations against
Mexico. With regard to the first there is not the
slightest doubt that General Narvaez " smelt a rat ;"
and I firmly believe that he first felt that interest-
ing sensation from the very great desire manifested
by Her Majesty not to take him with her, for after
all the Duke of Valencia will never lend himself
to a direct and formal abrogation of the constitu-
tional system, and it is shrewdly supposed, as I
have more than once mentioned, that something
in this way was intended if the conjunction was
deemed favourable, and if the popularity of the
Duchess of Montpensier at Seville seemed
sufficiently reflected on her sister to make her feel
strong enough for the attempt.
The convocation of the Cortes, according to the
wish of Narvaez and Pidal, was much aided by a
letter from the Queen Mother, of rather an un-
usual and menacing character, in which she tells
her daughter that in listening to the counsels of
the Absolutists, she was destroying herself and her
family for ever. Maria Christina has, it is true,
singular notions concerning the essence of a con
stitutional government, but I doubt whether she
ever felt it would be for her interest to completely
destroy its configuration.
With regard .to Mexico the public feeling in
Madrid is decidedly strong, and the means of
manifesting it weak. All people count upon Eng-
land and France quite as much as if it were the
bounded duty of those Powers to come to the aid of
Spain on every occasion. It is probable that
France, as the Power less interested in the Western
Indies, will be somewhat influenced by England
on the present occasion; but it is to be hoped that
England will only do what is necessary for the
protection of her own subjects and interests, and
not expose herself to embarrassments only to
reap the natural and unchangeable ingratitude of j
Spain.
