PRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday morning at half-past
nine at the Palace of Compiegne.
By an Imperial decree the ad interim, managS

Three weeks ago the question did not exist, for the
new conferences were spoken of as a project that
had been agreed to unanimously by the Powers re-
presented in the first congress of Paris. If we are
to believe rumours that have obtained a certain
consistency to-day this project is doubtful, and en-
counters the opposition of two of the powers which
had in the first instance approved of the measure.
These two powers, it is scarcely necessary to add,
are England and Austria. It is refused in London
and Vienna, so it is said, to take part in the nevi
congress, or a consent to participate in it will be
given only on the condition that Russia shall be
excluded ! This new conflict, of which we have
been aware for the last few days is alluded to this
morning by a journal which has probably derive',
its information from a good source. This conduel.
