The news of the advance of the Russians towards
the position of the allied armies has created con-
siderable uneasiness in the moneyed world of Paris
and as will be seen by the account of the proceed-
ings at the Bourse, the French funds fell nearly 2
per cent., and the railway shares followed the course
of the public securities, though not quite in the same
proportion. The determination of the Russian ge-
neral to bring his adversaries into action as soon
as possible is looked upon not only as an indication
of confidence in his own strength, but of his de-
termination, if he can, to meet Omer Pacha in the
field before the arrival of the English and French
armies. It is not likely, however, that Omer
Pacha will be induced to fight a pitched battle un-
til the arrival of his powerful auxiliaries, or that
the English generals will hazard an encounter under
disadvantageous circumstances. It is in fact not yet
known whether the object of the English army, in
advancing to Varna, is to make a diversion in fa-
vour of Silistria, or to cover Schumla in the event
of Omer Pacha being forced to retreat. The semi-
official journals of Germany declare that the Rus-
sian army on the Danube is 250,000 strong.
The proposed meeting of the Emperor of Austria
and King of Prussia at Bodenbach is looked upon in
Paris as an event of great importance, as itis suppos-
ed to have reference to the execution of the secret
articles of the treaty recently concluded between
the two Powers. The note sent by the Vienna
Cabinet to St. Petersburg is said to be positively
in the name of Austria alone, and not in that of
Austria and Prussia jointly. The note makes no
mention either of Prussia of the protocol of
Vienna. _ _

The Napoleon and Jean Bart have left Toulon
for Gallipoli, having on boar
is board the 2d regiment of
the foreign legion in the service of France. It ap-
pears that this regiment to be made the nucleus
of a foreign regiment in the service of Turkey, and
that all the refugees will Le enrolled in it. By this
means the formation of a Polish legion will be
avoided.

It is reported that one of tho ex-King J erome's
aides-de-camp has committed suicide, in conse-
quence of losses at the Bourse.
M. Vivien, prefect of police under Louis Philippe
in 1831; minister of justice under the ministry of
M. Thiers in 1849 ; minister of public works under
the Government of General Cavaignac to the 10th
of December, when Louis Napoleon came in ;
finally, one of the vice-presidents of the Council of
State, suppressed by the coup d'etat of December,
expired yesterday in Paris. M. Vivien had pro-
tested against the coup d'etat, and had refused to
take the oaths to the new Government. Since that
period he had fallen into a state of marasm, from
which he never recovered,
It is stated positively that the Emperor and Em-
press will visit the Pyrenees this summer. Prepa-
rations are, it is said, making for their reception at
the Chateau de Biaritz, where they are expected in
July, after the inauguration of the Boulogne camp
by the Emperor. Should they really go, it can
scarcely be doubtful that a visit will be paid to
Henry the Fourth's chateau at Pau, which has so
long been in course of restoration.
M. Turbot, the French ambassador at Madrid,
is expected in Paris on leave of absence. Ho still
suffers from the wound received in his duel with
M. Soule.

Admiral Baudin died on Wednesday. The event
was expected, and his promotion to the dignity of
a full admiral was in fact intended as a solace to his

dying moments. He was not very old, having
been born on the 21st of July, 1784. His naval
