PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING

The Conference on the auestion of Neufchatel
opened to-day at one o'clock. The first meeting is
merely one of form, but it will be followed by others
at short intervals. until the question is definitively.
settled. It is right to take advantage of the present
favourable humour of the King of Prussia as no
one knows the moment when a chßnge may come
over the royal mind. Despatches were received
yesterday from the Marquis de Moustier, the French
Minister at Berlin, relative to the same question.
They are so far favourable that they state his
Majesty is well disposed for an arrangement, and
that he wishes the day for the meeting of the
Conferences to be shortly named. It was immedi
'itely afterwards that this day was fixed. The
affair will doubtless. appear of little importance
beside the graver ones which now occupy public
attention, but it is well to have a complication the
less at this moment.

The signing of the Treaty with Persia is also an
additional relief, and leaves us but one war to
attend to. No one appears more satisfied with this
amicable solution than Feruk Khan. He went
yesterday to the telegraph office to have 'the
pleasure of transmitting in person his despatch to
Bucharest, where an attache of the Persian Embassy
has been waiting for intelligence in order to set
out at once for Teheran. Feruk Khan remained at
the office till he got the answer, which he did in
less than half an hour. He uttered an exclamation
of wonder and delight on receiving the reply to his
despatch. He will proceed to London for the
ratification of the treaty.
A private' etter frern Vienna announces the
receipt of a telegraphic despatch from Constan-
tinople, stating that after the death of the Kai•
maikan of Moldavia; a Provisional Government
had _been installed with the. consent of the foreign
Consuls, and that this Government will act until
the Porte have made some other appointment.
, The following are the observations of the
French papers on the late division in the House
of Commons :

The Patrie strongly advocates the energetic
prosecution of the war, and concludes its remarks
with the following passage ,
Will the motion of Mr. Cobden, voted by the House of
Commons (which must certainly lead to the dissolution of
the Cabinet or of the House), r'sult in arresting the pro-
gress of events before Canton ? We hope not. Great
distances, which at times present great inconveniences,
have this advantage, that they permit accomplished facts
to weigh with immense power on the march of human
events. Should Sir John Bowring succeed, before the
arrival of the vote of blame recorded by Parliament, in
entering as conqueror into that city, which he first sought
only to enter as a' simple visitor, we do not think that
England, which has absolved Warren Hastings and Clive,
whose glory was nevertheless tarnished by well authenti.
catel crime, will impute blame to a man for an excess of
zeal, justified and glorified by success.
yhe Univers entertains similar views, which it
expresses in more energetic language than that
adopted by its cotemporaries. It says:—
What do all these solemn debates and philanthropic
declamations really signify ? Oue sole object ; the poli-
tical adversaries of Lord Palmerston wish to obtain his
place, or, if they cannot sauced in so doing, they seek
to display at least their eloquence ? for the constitutional
game must be played ont, And while the Parliament of
England is gravely discussing the justice or legitimacy of
this war, the Chinese are setting a price on the beads of
Europeans, and are surrounding them with assassins, in-
cendiaries, and poisoners.. The Bishop of Oxford, in his
speech, evidently lost from sight all that Christian nations
have suffered from China; he saw nothing but the question
of the Arrow. But our correspondents at Hongkong, who
are not Englishmen, judge it in a very different light to
the Anglican bishop, and their appreciations appear to us
less open to suspicion. Now, with respect to China, who
Scan seriously question the right possessed by Christian
Powers to call that barbarian nation to account for treaties
perpetually violated, and for the blood of Christians con-
stantly shed ? The English orators are really too conside-
rate when they invoke the right of nations, justice, and
humanity in favour of a population which, by every act,
places itself beyond the right of nations, and systematically
violates all the laws of humanity and justice. .

The Sieele thus expresso. itself :
Immense will be the joy of the Royalist journals this
side of the Channel; but it is a child's joy; the person
they dislike is beaten, and' they laugh without reflecting on
the serious consequences of the event which inspires their
delight. In England, where the Parliament and Govern.
Went entertain the most profound respect for public
opinion, the question is only opened by the adoption of the
Cobden motion., Lord Palmerston will not consider himself
beaten, and he will appeal to the electors of 11 ee England.
The anticipations offered above have been par.
tially realised by the Assemblee Nationale, which
alone of the Paris journals condemns the eon-
duet of Admiral Seymour. The following are the
views it, expresses :
Will the Premier obtain from the Queen permission to
dissolve Parliament? Should he obtain it, would he
succeed in obtaining from the electors the reversal of the
verdict given by the House of Commons after the most
solemn debate ? These are questions which need not yet
be examined ; but, whatever may be the resolution taken
by the Crown, whatever may be the result of an appeal
to the electors in circumstances where the national self-
esteem might perhaps -be skilfully worked upon, the vote
of the House will remain as the eternal condemnation of a
policy which has been justly censured by the.most eminent
meta of all parties, and by those who are most devoted to
the real grandeur of Englani. Were another Ministry
possible in the present dissolution of political parties, the
Cabinet headed by Lord Palmerston would have no other
alternative than to bend its head and withdraw before
this condemnation.
The following; is from the Debats : _ .

It is impossible to dissimulate the grave nature of the
check experienced by the Cabinet of Lord Palmerston.
After such apheek everybody will understand, and Lord
Palmerston- will certainly himself understand, that he
cannot appear again b .fore the present Ilouse of Parliament.
The only question that can arise, is to know whether he
will abandon his position to the chiefs Of the coalition, who
have dealt him this tertible blow, or, whether he ,will
decide on dissolving the House, and -will appeal to the
country.

The Constitutionnel remains silent on this im-
portant subject.
The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia arrived
at Villafranca at eleven o'clock of the morning of
the Ist instant. The Duke was received by Count
Wielkonski, General Apraxin, Baron Rosen, the

Despatches are said to have been received to•day
by the French Government from its Minister at
Turin, giving hopes of a favourable change in the
