PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.—We are without a
word of news to-day from the seat of war, and the
Paris papers are equally bare. Even speculation
on the effect of the treaty between Austria
anti the Western Powers is suspended for
the day, and the only matter thought of is
the meeting of the British Parliament, and the
important,debate which took place on the first night.
The meeting of our Parliament is looked upon with
far greater interest than is generally imagined, for,
strange to say, our representatives not only transact
the business of Great Britain, but their delibera-
tions affect to a great degree the affairs of other
countries. There is not a doubt that the more
liberal policy recently adopted in France is to be
attributed to the example given by England, and
the light which has been thrown upon mercantile
affairs in general by the discussions in our Parlia-
ment. The Senate and Legislative Corps are sum-
moned to meet on the 26th of December. The
Siecic quotes a passage from a. German paper, in
which it is stated that by the - new reading
adopted by the Western Powers in combination
with Austria, the four guarantees are considerably
extended, especially as regards tho free naviga-
tion of the Black Sea, the guarantee for which
will require the entire destruction of all the Rus-
sian fortified places on the coast, and the limita-
tion of the number of ships of war to be main-
tained in that sea ; and that, moreover, indemni-
ties will be demanded. The Siecle hesitates to
believe that Austria goes so are but looks for in-
formation from England.

The Emperor and Empress went last evening to
the Opera, to see the Muette de Portici. Their
Majesties, both on their arrival and departure,
were greeted with cries of "Vivo l'Enipereur !"
"Vive l'lmperatrice !"

The following consular changes had been ordered
by an Imperial decree :—M. duet, French consul
at Lisbon, has been named consul-general and
charge d'affaires at Lima, in the room of Baron
Leeve-Veimars, deceased M. Flury, consul at
Naples, to succeed M. liuet at Lisbon ; and M.
Soulange-Bodin, consul at Moscow, to succeed M.
Flury, at Naples.

The Hamburg News states, from Berlin, that
the Prussian Minister of War has ordered the orga-
nisation of an additional battery of eight guns for
each of the nine regiments of artillery.
