TATTERS A.LL'S.—MOtTDAY.
The room was crowded to a higli pressure degree
throughout the afternoon, the rain prpventing the sub-
scribers from having the usual range and accommoda-
tion on the terrace and lawn adjoining. Much incon-
venience would, however, have been obviated had a
suitable awning been spread over the whole length and
breadth of the terrace ; for all such occasions some pro-
vision of the kind should be made.
The chief business was the settlement of the Ascot
accounts, which were for the most part heavy, and on
the wrong side of the book for " tretiring. Several
balances were left open, and the non-contents were un-
questionably in a majority. p
We would suggest that it be made a rule of the room
that all parties who settle by deputy should be com-
pelled to give notice thereof to the keeper of the room,
whose business it should be to place a written announce-
ment to that effect on a board especially provided for
that purpose.
Late in the afternoon a few bets were made at the
prices given below. The principal investments were on
Colsterdale and Goldfinder for the Northumberland
Plate-5 to 1 was taken to upwards of 2001. about the
former, and 8,7, and 6 to 1 to various sums about the
latter, the last bet that was booked about him was 600

Couuut Amedee du Roscoat, of the department
of Foreign Affairs, has left for St. Petersburgh with
dispatchs for the French Embassy.
Count Panin, Minister of Justice to the Em-
peror of Russia, arrived at Paris on Saturday from
St. Petersburgh. According to the Debats, which
announces his arrival, he is said to be charged with
a special mission to the French Government.
By an order of the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, M. Charles Fortoul, Sous-Chef de Cabinet
to the Minister, is named Chef de Cabinet and
head of the Secretary's office, in place of M. de
Nanteuil, appointed Counsellor Referendary at the
Court of Accounts.
It is said that another camp is about to be esta-
blished at Mans.
A certain degree of activity is displayed in all
the military ports of France. Detachments of
Marines, on their way to Toulon, pass almost
daily through Paris.
The British steamer Caradoc reached Malta on
the Bth inst. _ _

Yesterday M. Kisseleff had a conference with the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this conference,
which was most cordial, the Russian Ambassador
stated that it was the intention of Russia to occupy
the Danubian Principalities, but that they would
not extend their occupation beyond the frontiers
of those provinces.
After giving an historical account of the dif-
ferent additions made to the Louvre by preceding
Imonarchs, the Moniteur states that it was reserved
to the nephew of the great Napoleon to accomplish
the desire of so many generations, by the comple-
tion of that building. All the works of construc-
tion are now adjudged, and it is stated that the
Louvre will be finally terminated in rather more
than four years.
There was a still further improvement at the
Bourse yesterday, and the public securities have
now nearly recovered from the unfavourable im- '
pression caused by the posture of affairs in the
East. At the termination of business the Three per
Cents. had risen 2f. 35c. for cash, and 2f. 20c. for
the account ; whilst the Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. for money improved 2f., and 2f. 20c. for the
end of the month. Bank of France shares ad-
vanced 201. Closing prices :—For cash : Three
per Cents., 78f. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
102 f. For the account : Three per Cents., 77f.
90c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. 20c. ;
Bank. Stock. 2,6601. In Bank of Credit Foncier
shares no change occurred, being still quoted at
7401. ; a rise of 471 took place in shares of the
Societe Mobiliere, which closed at 787 f. In the
Railway Share Market there was much activity in
business, and eventually a considerable advance in
prices had taken place ; Lyons to the Mediterra-
nean shares rose 70f. ; Paris and Rouen, 65f. ;
Paris and Lyons, 55f. ; Westerns, 47f. ; Paris and
Strasbourg, 45f. ; and Northerns, 40f. The final
quotations were :—Northerns, 880 f. ; Paris and
Orleans, 1,012 f.; Paris and Strasbourg, 885 f. ;
Paris and Lyons, 9COf. ; Paris and Rouen, 1,015 f. ;
Lyons to the Mediterranean, 747 f. 50c. ; Western
of France, 707 f.

TURKEY.
We find several articles, and some of them of
interest, in the Paris journals of yesterday, on the
Eastern question. The Constitutionnel is silent,
but the other Ministerial journal, the Pays, enters
rather freely into the consideration of the course to
be taken by France and England, if the Emperor
of Russia should occupy the principalities of the
Danube. This occupation would, in the opinion of
the Pays, be a violation •of the treaties between
Russia and Turkey, and would justify and render
necessary the presence of the French and English
fleets at Constantinople for the protection of the
capital, but we see nothing in the article of the
Pays to indicate that they would resort to reprisals
if Russia should, for the moment, content herself
with retaining possession of the principalities. The
Mats quotes with great satisfaction the opinion of
the Times, that the mere occupation of the princi-
palities would not and ought not to be regarded by
the English and "French Cabinets as a declaration:
of war against Turkey. This would be a great
point gained by Russia, and if tolerated, as the
Debats thinks it will be, would put the Emperor in
a position to dictate terms, but still the Debats is of
opinion that a pacific solutioni would be arrived at
by negotiation. The Assemblee Nationale expresses
the same opinion. After declaring, as will be seen,
that the Emperor of Russia has sent a note to the
Powers of Europe, in which he maintains all his
demands upon Turkey, and intimates that he will
occupy the principalities, the Assemblee says that
war will be avoided by subsequent negotiations.
Our contemporary does not hold out a hope that
the Emperor will make any important concessions,
and if he does not intend to do so, it would be just
as well to yield all that he asks now, as to keep the
world in a state of suspense and anxiety. The
Univers laughs at the idea of making appeals to
the moderation and justice of the Emperor of
Russia. Arms and not sermons are, according to
this journal, the only means of inducing him to
withdraw any of his pretensions. The Univers,
however, pretends to have no confidence in the al-
liance that has been formed between England and
France to check the ambition of the Autocrat.
What it asks, can this alliance effect? The French
and English fleets may burn the Russian fleet in
the Black Sea, but that will not prevent the
Russians from marching on Constantinople.
There is but one alliance which, in the opi-
nion of the Univers, could preserve the
equilibrium of Europe from the blow aimed
at it by the Emperor of Russia. The Uni-
vers has such a horror of the alliance be-
tween a Catholic and Protestant country, even
in the defence of the principles of justice, that it
magnifies the means of Austria far beyond their
real character. And even, supposing the alliance to
be more desirable than that with England, how
does it know that it could be effected ? The Sie,cle

is as much for the alliance with England as the
Univers is against it, but it does not attempt to
conceal the fact that it advocates this alliance as
much, perhaps more, from a belief that it must
necessarily lead to the extension of liberal institu-
tions in France, as from the conviction that the
two powers can, if they act cordially and energeti-
cally, prevent the destruction of the Turkish Em-
pire, and the consequent alarming increase of the
power of the Emperor of Russia.
Tho Assentblee Nationale says
"We learn that a note from St. Petersburgb, which
arrived in Paris on Saturday by a Cabinet courier, has
been communicated to the different courts of Europe by
the different ministers. In this note the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh is said to declare that it is the intention of
the Emperor to maintain the demands which he thought
right to address to the Porte on the maintenance of the
privileges and guarantees of the orthodox Greek re-
ligion, in the terms in which those demands were drawn
up in the last dispatch of Prince Menschikoff. After
having developed the motives which induced the Em-
peror to exact new guarantees from the Porte, and
to insist thereon, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is
said to declare that the Emperor in nowise in-
tends to make war in Turkey, or to seize this
occasion for encroaching on the integrity and indepen-
dence of the Ottoman Empire. The Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh adds, however, that, in case the Divan
should persist in rejecting the demands presented to it,
the emperor would think right to give to his army in
Bessarabia the order to occupy the Danubian provinces.
This occuv,ltion would not have the character of a de-
claration of war, since the difference at this moment
pending between the Porte and Russia enters into the
category of those which, according to the terms of the
treaties existing between Russia a.',1(1 Turkey, may lead
to the occupation of the provinces."
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 10th,

says :
" A report was current yesterday that Count de Nes-
selrode, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, will re-
tire from office in case a war should break out. The
count is, it is said, the only diplomatist of eminence who
seriously wishes for the maintenance of peace."
A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 3d, in the
Hamburgh, News, says
" Baron de Meyendorff, Ambassador of the Czar at
Vienna, has carried out instructions concerning the me-
diation of Austria between our Cabinet and the Ottoman
Porte. It was through the influence of the British Am-
bassador at Constantinople that the project of Russia
to conclude a treaty with the Sultan for the protection
of the Greeks failed. The nomination of Reschid Pacha,
has caused irritation, but the Czar endeavours to dis-
guise his dissatisfaction. His Majesty continues to in-
spect the different corps d'arntee. He is about to visit
Cronstadt to inspect the troops and the fleet. The
Court Gazette publishes the orders of the day, in which
the Czar expresses his satisfaction to the Grand Duke
I Constantine and the admirals, and accords a donation to
the soldiers."
The Press of Vienna of the 9th announces that
a telegraphic dispatch had arrived, according to
which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had accepted
the mediation of Austria in the difference with the
Ottoman Porte.
A letter from Vienna of the Bth says :—" A
diplomatic disi itch which arrived here this day

The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the 7th, which says :—" A rumour pre-
vailed here to-day that Baron de Meyendorff had
brought a note announcing the occupation of the
Danubian principalities by the Russians. On the
other hand, M. de Meyendorff expresses himself in
a pacific sense."
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa', of the Bth
says :—" The last letters from Constantinople state
that an ardent spirit of resistance was manifesting
itself amongst the Turks, for the defence of the
empire and of their religion. The great function-
aries continue to offer to the Sultan large gifts of
money. One of the Ministers, Mustapha-Pacha,
has given, it is said, 40 millions of piastres (10
million of francs). Great eithusiasni was displayed
by the inferior classes."
