PARIS, MONDAY.
Th 3 first series of guests invited by the Emperor
and Empress to Fan tainbleau have taken their de-
parture, and the personages whose names are in-
cluded in the second list have left Paris to join their
Majesties. Among them are Count de Kiseeleff
and Baron de Hubner, the Russian and Austrian
Ministers.

A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says :
" The first two sittings of the Conference were
taken up with the reading of the report of the
Baron de Talleyrand-Perigord on the state of the
Danubian provinces. This report is marked by a
considerable' knowledge of the interests, the wants,
and the wishes of Moldavia and Wallachia, and by
a clear statement of the necessity of a political
union. Baron de Talleyraud, has, however, recom-
mended, in a spirit of conciliation, the postpone-
ment for the present of the realisation of the union,
and confined himself to such internal reforms as
may prepare the way for the eventual union of the
provinces. What now remains to be done? To
draw up regulations for the reorganisation of each
of the two provinces, the preparatory draft ofwhich
will serve as the basis of the next deliberations 'of
the Conference. Such is the principal motive which
has caused the third sitting to be postponed to the
sth June.
M. do Pane still lies at St. Germain, without
hopes of recovery. The ill-feeling engendered by
this affair is increasing. A struggle between the
military and the bourgeoisie took place last evening
at a cafti in the Rue de Bondy ; the military ex-
pelled a carpenter from the café ; but he returned
with some of his' fellow-workmen, and the troops
were in their turn expelled.
The Foupe/liste,„ of Marseilles, of the 28th IMay,
states that at 5 in the morning of the preceding
day two non-commissioned officers of the 58th In-
fantry fought a duel on the high ground near
where the Imperial Palace is being built. The
weapon used was the sword. One of the combat-
ants was killed on the spot, and the other slightly
wounded in the abdomen. After the survivor's
wound was dressed he was committed to the mili-
tary prison at Marseilles.

BOURSE, May 31.—The reduction of the rate of
interest on the Bons du Treior has had no influ
ence on the prices of the Rente, which has been
offered, owing to sales for the impending settle-
ment. The railway shares have been steady,
holders anticipating some measures in favour of the
companies. The following were the last quota-
tions :

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter says :—" M. Titoff,
formerly Russian Ambassador at Constantinople,
and to whom WAS confided the direction of the
studiEs of the young hereditary Grand Duke, has
just re.--Ligndd those functions to return into the
ranks of diplonalcy. This resignation has caused
considerable sensation, M. Grimm, formerly tutor
of the Grand Duke Constantine, and who has since
retired to Dresden, Las been seat for to replace
M. Titoff,"

PRUSSIA.
Lord Wodehouse, lately representative of Eng-
land in Russia, arrived en the 29111 ult. at Berlin
from St Petersburg, and intended remaining for
some few days in the Prussian capital before pro-
ceeding to London. Sir Arthur Magesnis, the
English Minister at Stockholm, is also at present
in Berlin:

A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult. says :—"Some
journals assert that Prussia has addressed to Aus-
tria p. note, threatening to withdraw from the Ger-
manic confederation - and others say she has only
expressed the intention of retiring from the Zoll-
verein. We can, however, affirm that both ass!r-
___ •

tions are erroneous. The note referred to is rcla.
tive to the tendency which Austria has lately
manifested of causing the delibera•ions of the Diet
to prevail by a simple majority. It opposes that
tendency, and says that if persisted in it
may have the result of causing the separation
of some States which feel themselves aggrieved
by that course. But that is far from being
a threat to leave the Confederation. Prussia
only seeks the maintenance and development of
federal institutions as they exist, but Austria wants
to obtain a preponderating influence in Germany.
Austrian journals are wrong in complaining of
Prussia as the cause why the two Powers are not
always in accord ; for it is Austria which prevents
a good understanding by her continual encroach-
ments."

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 27th ult. contain long
accounts of the Queen's visit to Alicante, from
which it appears that in tEat city her Majesty was
received with great enthusiasm. Mr. Buchanan,
the n w English Minister, was there presented to
-her Majesty, but not officially. The papers contain
no political news. They state that the heat had
become very great in Madrid.
