FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The Constitlttionnel, in reproducing the article of
the Moniteur which commented on certain mis-
representations published by the Times; -denininces
the latter journal in the following manner "The Moniteur bas refuted the calumnies of
the Times in a few clear and simple words, This
signal honour has been deserved neither by the
sincerity nor the good faith of that journal. How•
ever there are some statements which Cannot be
allowed to pass over unobserved, even when they
proceed from a newspaper which has earned dis-
repute by the systematical character of its dis-
tributes. If there is anything calculated to wound
the sentiments of an honourable man, it is to hear
a notoriously false statement repeated with a tone
of authority. Now, the Times in some of. its
assertions evidently declines to recognise the
rules of common propriety, which we imagine
are as binding to journals as to individuals. The
Times has really no excuse for publishing its
treacherous impostures. It possesses correspon-
dents in Paris ; why can it not obtain from them
explanations of facts which are known to all I
But we forget that this journal has adopted its policy,
and would be very sorry not to lie or to calum-
niate. This journal offers a fancy sketch of the
connection between the police and the salons. But
as this is a subject which cannot be familiar to t
everybody, we will be less severe in our reflections.,
We cannot expect certain correspondents of the
Times to be well acquainted with all that occurs in
places where they never set foot. The Times has,
consequently, only one resource—invention."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Nelv ssia asserts that the plan
0 f organisation:proposed for the Dept? hien principali-
ties is to give them the same administration, but to
keep them separate, and to place at their head two
ilospodars, to be chosen by the Sultan from a list
of candidates proposed by the Divans. The New
Gazette, however, declares that the union has not
been abandoned, but adjourned ; and this,
it says; is proved by the fact that it has bees
determined to give the principalities the name
of the "United Provinces of Moldavia and
Wallachia." To this denomination, it adds,
the Porte long objected, and it was not until after
the departure of Lord Stratford de Redelitfe that
he could be induced to accept it. As to the attri-
butions of the Divans, they are to comprise the vote
of taxes, but not the initiative in legislative mea-
sures.

DENMARK.
The New Gazette of Prussia says :—" We learn
from an authentic source at Copenhagen (a source
which has never deceived us) that the Danish
Cabinet has resolved to make to the Germanic
Confederation a communication on the manner ill
which it intends to carry out the resolution of
the Diet of the 11th February. But the Danish
concessions are only these—To submit to the States
of Holstein the first ten articles of the special consti-
tution of Holstein, and to ask them what position
they desire to take in the Danish monarchy ; the
affair to be afterwards discussed in secret with som•
commissioners of the Confederation, but not with
the Diet, and Hanover in particular to be excluded
fro► the discussions. It is to be hoped, however,
that the Diet which is charged with the protection
of the honour and rights of Germany will reject such
ridiculous propositions."
