The Paris correspondent.af the
.Times accounts
ior the difference, by referring to the strong
'aPinions 'expresSed in France; which induced the
feEmperor more moderately to. limit his views to
the Roman legations. The correspondent of the

general distrust prevails, while the crisis of .1857

other countries. • The present relapse .is
