COPENHAGEN, MARCH 30, EVENING.

The Berhngske Tidende of this evening publishes
a semi-official article, announcing that Russia and
France approve the candidature of Prince William
of Denmark for the throne of Greece.

The same paper states that Prince Christian and
Earl Russell have both inquired of the King of
Denmark whether the candidature would have his
Maj esty's sanction.

The King will receive Mr. Paget, the British
Minister, to-morrow, to communicate his decision.
His Majesty does not seem disinclined to give his
consent, provided Prince Christian and Prince
William desire the arrangement. His Majesty will,
however, distinctly reserve further conditions, espe-
cially with regard to Prince William's right of suc-
cession to the Danish throne.

The Paris papers of to day publish a telegram
from Constantinople of yesterday's date, asserting
that a Christian village near Latakia had been pil-
laged, and that the Druses of Hauran had attacked
the regular Turkish troop.
PARIS, MARCH 30.
The Nation of this evening, in an article signed
by its editorial secretary, says—.

" While the Polish insurrection maintains itself
by scattering its forces, it becomes more difficult to
suppress. France and England seek, in common,
a solution that Austria will be able to accept with-
out disquieting the other Powers interested.

" This question has therefore entered a diplomatic
phase, and the result must be awaited without too
much impatience.
" We believe we can state that France and Eng-
land agree upon the end to be attained, and it is
probable that Austria will not delay entering the
same path. We need not dwell upon the impor-
tance of this fact,"

Le Constztutionnel formally contradicts the ru-
mours recently afloat as to the serious illness of the
Count de Sartiges, the Emperor's Ambassador at
Turin. His Excellency's health is completely re-
est biished.

Le Beicle annou-tces that M. Godin has been
selected by the Society of ALciiinatizAtion. to
sculpture the marble statue about. tote erected in
trie Bois de B Julogne in honour of D iubeoton, who
first introduced the merino sheep into France.

Le Pays tells us that Marshal Baraguay
d'H.llliers has issued an order of the day, intimating
t hat upon the 20th pros. he will cffici,tliy tske
command of the camp at Chalons.

L' Opiraon Nateonale looks more cheerfully and
to-day upon the character of the news
now arriving, as one mty say (thanks to the electric
telegraph) momentarily, from the seat of war its
Russian-Poland ! Chiefly in consequence of the
regent successes of Padleski, who has not only
defeated the Russian troops, but has since then
effected, in the neighbourhood of Lomza,- his
junction with Kochanowski.

LIVE IT DOWN.—In its notice of Mr. Jeaffre-
son's new novel, "Live It Down" (a second edition
of which has just appeared), the Athencaum sa)s :—This
story will satisfy most readers ; it is lull, well considered,
and well worked out. The plot is broad, and the interest
goes on increasing to the last page. The story is extremely
well constructed. It is by far the best work of fiation Mr
Jeaffreson has yet written. The c►,aracters are r, al h. Wale
beings, marked with individual °ham er, and we recom
mend our readers to make an acquaintance with them for
themselves. The episode of Little Fan,' tne physician's
laughter, may take .ts place beside little Dumbey for its
pathos."

THE IRON DUKE ON LOVE.—In reply to an ap-

Ica ion uo behalf of a y. nog ady to ecnd home a
major on active duty in the P, ninsula, for whom she felt
8 • ardent an affecti n that her life would, it was supposed,
he 1. laced in danger it her wishes should not be acced,d to,
the Duke wrote :—" This tottunate major now commands
h a battalion, and I am very apprehensive that he could
t,et, will) propriety quit it at present, even th. ugh the lite
)f this female shouict d,pend upon it. We read occasion-
ally of desperate cases of this description, but I cann--t say
hat I have ever yet known of a young lady dying of love
They contrive, in some manner, to live, and look tolerably
well, notwithstanding their despair and the continued ab-
sence of their lover; end seine even hays, been known to
recover so far as to be inclined to take another lover, if the
absence of the first has lasted too long. 1 don't suppose
that your protegee can ever recover so far, but I do hope
she will survive the continued necessary absence of tit,
major, and enjoy with him hereafter many happy days.—
I have, Bso.,—WELLINGTON."
