FRANCE.

There is a general impression in Paris that Lord '
Aberdeen must go out. Indeed a rumour is quite
current of the break up of the British Ministry
having actually taken place. There can be little
difficulty in understanding the process by which
probable anticipations jump into affirmed fact.
People, for instance, reasoning upon what has
taken place between the two Governments, come
to the conclusion that cordial union of action
against Russia cannot be expected. They are told,
too, by the confidential organs of the British
Cabinet that Russia may occupy, without any justi-
fiable pretext, and, consequently, in violation of
treaties, the Danubian provinces, but the Pays, a
trusted organ of the French Government, declares
quite the contrary. It is well known, too, that
the Government is every day becoming less indiF-
posed to war. The funds declining yesterday, it
was said, was not becauss the fall of the British
Cabinet is accepted as an accomplished fact, or that
they believe in a fresh movement at Milan, but it
is because of an article in the Pays, which is sup-
posed to reveal a difference of opinion between
Napoleon and Aberdeen on the subject of the oc-
cupation of Moldavia and Wallachia.
The Siecle affirms positively that Count Panin,
the Russian Minister of Justice, is on a special
mission to the French Government, but that to
conceal his object, it is pretended that he is only
on his way to some watering-place. There can be
no doubt that the Siècle speaks the truth.
The Debats says :—lt is generally believed that
before long certain railway concessions will be ac-
corded for which the companies ask neither sub-
vention nor guarantee of interest. The sole cause
of delay would be, it is said, the heavy state of
public securities. We believe, however, that we
can state that the consulting commission is busy
in examining this matter, and that, in its sitting of
Saturday last, it heard the observations of the
delegates of the companies from Besancon to Mul-
hausen, from Lisieux to Honfleur, of the Pyrenean
lines, and of that from Orleans to Epermay.
The Echo de Honfleur states that orders have
been received by the maritime board of that port
to make a levy of all the mariners that are able
and fit for the service. Not even the married men
are excluded from the effect of this measure.

Alarming rumours have kept the Exchange in a
state of fluctuation all day yesterday. Those
rumours have not, however, been confirmed.
Nevertheless, the funds have fallen. The Three

per Cents. closed at 78f. 20c. for the end of the
month, and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at
101 f. 60c.

TURKEY.

It is reported on the Vienna 'Change yesterday
that the Russians have entered the Danubian prin-
cipalities. A panic has ensued, but the Correspon-
dent (regarded as semi-official) contradicts the
report.
It is asserted that the Russian Ambassadors at
Vienna and Berlin insist on Austria and Prussia
discontinuing that passive part which they have
up to the present played in the Oriental question.
The Lloyds of Vienna says :—" Prince Danilo
arrived on the 22d ult. at Celenje. He had received
from the Emperor of Austria the Order of the Iron
Crown. The same decoration of the second class
has been conferred on M. Pero, the President of
the Senate of Montenegro, and that of the third
class on M. George Petrovich. Prince Danilo dis-
tributed to the troops 200 medals struck in honour
of their bravery. The Prince has declared at a
public meeting that the Montenegrins would soon
have a fresh occasion to display their valour, not
to defend their territory, but to retake the terri-
tory of which the Turks had deprived Montenegro
without any right."
The Pays publishes a long article on the affairs
of the Rut, in which it contends that the other
European Powers cannot permit Russia to occupy
the, Moldavo-Wallachian provinces, because any
such occupation, without a similar and simultane-
ous occupation by the Turks, would be a direct
violation of existing treaties. It will be seen, how-
ever, by the few lines from the Constitutionnel,
which we subjoin, that the Pays has not set forth
the clause of the treaty which fixes the circum-
stances under which the principalities may be occu-
pied quite so clearly as it might have done in sup-
port of its arguments. The Constitutionnel says :—.
" The possible, or, we may even say, probable en-
trance of Russian troops into the principalities is the
object of many comments, but we have not yet seen that
any one has, in order to judge of the proper bearing of
such a measure, brought forward the treaty which regu-
lates the matter. This treaty is that of Balta Liman,
concluded in May, 1849. This &nal, since that is the
Turkish name given to the document, is the latest obli-
gatory convention entered into between Russia and the
Porte on the subject of the principalities ; it was con-
cluded for seven years, and provides, in article 4, that a
new occupation of these provinces is to depend on any
serious event which may arise in the principalities. It
is to be simultaneous, and the force on either side must
not exceed 35,000 men. No other cause of occupation
is stipulated for:
