FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The reconciliation of Austria with Prussia, and
the attitude assumed by the form 3r, have created
a bad effect here. No intelligence from the Crimea.
The Patrie says it has great reason to doubt the
accuracy of a Vienna despatch, published by a Lon-
don morning paper, stating all the French troops
at Kertch had been recalled to Sebastopol. It is
probable, it thinks, that a portion of the force may
have been sent to Anapa to reinforce the Circassian
contingents, and prevent any return of the Rus-
sians in that quarter.
The Universal German Gazette, professing to
speak on the authority of the French Captain,
Baron de Breitenbach, who had arrived at Vienna
from the Crimea with despatches for Baron de
Bonrqueney, says that General Pelissier was going
to fight a decisive battle between the 12th and 15th
of June, and that the allies had taken every neces-
sary measure to insure victory.
The treaty conceding the Pyrenean line to M. de
Rothschild is said to be signed.
A company has offered to construct at its own
cost a line between Macon and Nevers, with a
branch to Roanne. This line would form the first
section of a still more important railway now under
examination, and which would form the great trans-
versal line from east to west, from Switzerland
to the Atlantic.

An Imperial decree promotes General of brigade
