The Quotidienne rays—" We believe we may state as
certain that Charles X. will not at present proceed either
to Gratz or to Austerlitz, but will pass the winter with
the whole of his family at the Castle of Prague. The
Count de Damas left Vienna on the 13th to prepare apart-
ments for their reception. At the same time Geueral
Count de Guttenhove was sent by the Emperor to re-
ceive the travellers at Gorlitz, where the Ex-King was
expected to arrive on the 18th, and reach Prague on the
22d. The Castle is spacious and magnificent, and com-
mands the whole town. The Duchess of Angouleme and
the young Princess of Berry will remain at Vienna till
the King is settled at Prague, when they will join him."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th instant states tkat,
according to the last accounts from Constantinople, the
forces which the Sultan has to oppose to Mehemed Ali
are greatly inferior to those of the rebellious Pacha. The
Turkish fleet also has retired before that of the Egyp-
tians ; thus the island of Cyprus was left exposed to the
attacks of the latter, and is said to be now i❑ possession
of the Egyptians. It was reported that the Viceroy of
Egypt would proceed to his army, and take the command
of it in person. The plague at Constantinople makes
great ravages among the Israelites, whose Rabbi, Hallam
Bashi, died of that disease.
Extract of a letter, of the 16th inst., from Munich :
" It was not without a motive that Count Pozzo di Borgo
made so many divergencies from his road to Paris. He
was charged with an important mission by his Govern-
ment, and in order to ensure its success, had to obtain the
concurrence of the Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and Munich.
The subtle diplomatist commenced with Berlin, where
his success had been ensured beforehand; armed with the
aid of Prussia, he, with some difficulty, obtained the
suffrages of Austria; but, notwithstanding his success at
Berlin and Vienna, he could not succeed at Munich. The
following was the object of his mission :—Since differ-
ences have arisen between the Viceroy of Egypt and the
Porte, Russia has entertained views of conquest in Euro-
pean Turkey. Arrested by the intervention of the Great
Powers, and latterly by the Polish insurrection, the Em-
peror has become more hold by the fall of Warsaw, the
forbearance of the French Government, and the aversion of
the English Cabinet to engage in a war. Count Pozzo di
Borgo, charged with a mission through Europe, in order
to clear the way to Constantinople, met with no objec-
tions at Berlin, as Prussia has no great influence in Euro-
pean politics, exc,pt through being connected with
Russia; but he found obstacles at Vienna. Austria, the
sincere ally of Russia when absolutism is to be defended,
is jealous of her when territorial questions are started.
Prince Metternich prefers, on the east of the
Austrian empire, a weak neighbour like the Sultan
to the powerful Emperor of Russia, who already
presses heavily upon Galicia, and has a party in Hungary.
In spite of these obstacles, it is asserted that the able
Ambassador of Nicholas has been successful at Vienna, by
offering Bosnia and some other Turkish possessions to
the Austrian Cabinet, and by authorizing Austria to send
troops into the Turkish provinces at the same time that
the Russians shall pass the frontiers. Count Pozzo di
Borgo, on arriving at Munich, entered upon the negotia-
tions, with as much promptness as confidence, but his pro-
posals were rejected. The Bavarian Cabinet declared to
him that the new Government of Greece could not, under
any circumstances, consent to become a neighbour of Rus-
sia; and that if the Court of Russia insisted, it would be
under the necessity of appealing to France and England to
support that equilibrium in Europe which Russia herself
had so many times called for."
According to a report current at Antwerp, the Prussian
Government has received notice that a corps of the army
of the Germanic Confederation will occupy the province
of Luxemburg whilst the French army remains at Bel-
gium, in order to maintain the rights of the Confedera-
tion. We state this report without vouching for its truth.

PARIS, OCT. 22.-Our Exchange of this day opened
under very unfavourable auspices. Previous to the open.
ing of the market, the Three per Cents. were offered at
67frs., without purchasers. The opening price in the
parquet was 67frs. but they soon declined to 66. 90.-
The Five per Cents. opened at 95. 65. and rapidly de-
clined to 95. 50., with every appearance of a further de-
cline. This fall was attributed by speculators to a report
that the Government had fully decided at last to commence
hostilities against Holland, in opposition to the sugges-
tions of the Prussian Cabinet on the subject.

(From the Morning Herald private Correspondence.)
PARIS, OCT. 23.—The fall which took place in the
Funds yesterday is generally ascribed to an impression
entertained on the Bourse that " the King of Prussia
has intimated a❑ intention of departing from the line of
absolute neutrality which he bad expressed a determina-
tion to observe on the entrance of a French force into the
Belgic territory, for the purpose of compelling the King
of Holland to conform to the will of the Conference."
For the apprehension which this very long-winded as-
surance is calculated to produce, there is, I fear, but too
much ground. The Journal des Debuts of this day all
but confirms the speculation of the alarmists of yesterday,
respecting the resolution newly taken by Prussia on the
subject in question. That resolution is, that a Prussia❑
army, equal in numerical amount to any which France
shall employ in coercing the King of Holland, shall simul-
taneously with it enter Belgium.
One probable consequence of this turn in the affair is,
that the parties most interested in the matter, who are
now actually in presence of each other, and who are al-
ready wound up to the highest point of exasperation,
may, peadiag the negociation to which this MIT resolve of

Prussia would give rise, precipitate the crisis by resuming
hostilities. In either case, and notwithstanding the con-
tinued anxious desire of the French Government to main-
tain peace, a general war would be but too likely. A
French and an English army, employed to effect a joint
purpose, would vie with each other in bravery, and, I am
sure, without any other feeling of rivalry ; but a French
and a Prussian army brought into contact—no matter
with what objnt—would, in all human probability, come
to blows. If spontaneous hostilities occur between the
Dutch and the Belgians, the French would instantaneously
cross the Belgic frontier, even pending negociatious. The
Prussians would, we are now told, in such case, do the
like. Holland, emboldened by the new resolve of Prussia,
would have, therefore, only to provoke hostilities, or
even to procrastinate, in order to bring about that to
which she must have all along looked—a general war.—
This has too much the air of speculation to tempt
me to extend or paraphrase it; I shall, therefore,
only repeat that the impression of yesterday is strength-
ened by all we have heard to-day, and by the frequent in-
terviews of Marshal Gerard with the King. Yesterday
witnessed two of those interviews, at each of which, I am
assured, the King expressed his determination to abide by
his firmer resolve that the French army shall cross the
Belgic frontier cattle qu'il coute before the Ist of Novem-
ber, or sooner, should hostilities between the Dutch and
Belgians be renewed ; but, at the same time, impressed
upon the Marshal the necessity for the greatest circum-
spection and moderation in the execution of the very de-
licate and important mission on which he is about to
proceed.

With the letter of General Goblet to the French Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs you are already acquainted. Al-
though dated the sth instant, it only now, for the first
time, appears i❑ the Paris journals. One word more on
this subject, and I close it for the present. New orders
have been transmitted, by telegraph, to Lille, directing
that the army of the North shall hold itself in readiness to
march at a moment's notice.

A new loan is anticipated on 'Change—an expectation
which contributes to the gloom observable there. More-
over, not only are new overtures said to have been made
to M. Dupin, but that they are undor that eminent per-
son's consideration, although his partisans contend that he
would not, for a moment, entertain such a proposition,
unless accompanied by a carte blanche. Here is another
item in our summary of depressing circumstances. Every
moment the inability of the Ministry, as at present con-
structed, to meet and propitiate the Chambers, appears to
become more manifest, although the most fastidious could
not point to any one act of the new Cabinet which ought
to deprive it of public confidence. It is quite true that,
in their comparative moderation hitherto, the new Presi-
dent of the Council, and the new Minister of the I nterior
falsify the professions made by them not ten days ago,
that, " the system of their illustrious predecessor (M.
Casimir Perier) should be theirs ;" but, so long as the
acts of Government shall continue to FP founded on a
good system, it would be worse than loss of time to seek
to convict them (Ministers) of inconsistency in following it.
I regret to say that the King appears to suffer from at-
tention to business. His jolly, frank, healthful counte-
nance has become elongated, furrowed, an pale. Mar-
shal Soult, too looks a little care• worn. The cheek is
pallid, but the eye as bright a ever. The period that has
passed, and the contemplation of the crisis approaching,
naturally account for those appearances. Both are said
to have been taken by surprise by M. Guizot's lately sub-
scribing himself to the King's " subject ;" and certainly
the occasion chosen for this return to the language of for-
mer times was not happy. I have reason to believe,
however, that the phrase has never been entirely laid aside,
no more than that of " Monsiegneur" in addressing the
Ministers. To any person who should ask of what conse-
quence is the circumstance? I should reply, " Read the
Opposition Journals." The French would endure (as I
have before remarked) an attack upon their liberties much
better than an attempt to limit the principle of equality.
Order has been restored and prevails in Nantes ; but it
is quite clear that the Opposition principle is actively in
progress in the departments. In Paris we are tolerably
tranquil. The principal batch of prisoners made on the
6th of June last, (those found in the cloister of St. Mery)
are at this moment, I suppose. on their trial. They were
brought before the Cour Royale this morning; but, from
their being 24 in number, the trial will probably last many
days. I have touch to say in nay next of those quacks,
hypocrites, and libertines, the St. Simonians, and their
late trial.

Our foreign news is interesting. The discontent long
smouldering in Naples is beginning to burst forth into a
flame, if we are to believe private letters received yester-
day. If so, the revolt beine premature, its suppression
will follow as a matter of course. Sweden, too, is me-
naced with political movements. With Charles John will,
in all probability, end the dynasty of which he sought to
be the founder, lie would find little sympathy in France,
and has no lovers elsewhere.

Three o'Clock.

I have just now learn, on the best authority, that the
officers and soldiers of the Army of the North have re-
ceived the sum of money always paid in advance previ-
ously to entering on campaign (here termed " indemnite
d'entree en campagne"), and that the " etapes" (halting
quarters), from Valencienns to the Belgic frontier are laid
down and ordered. Marshal Gerard will, it is said, leave
town to-day. No doubt remains, I am assured, that the
army will immediately advance (passer outre), without
regarding the threats or interference of Prussia. The
Funds have fallen considerably.
* One day that I called to inquire how M. Perier did, dur-
ing his illness, a servant, in a gorgeous livery, made a similar
inquiry, but in these terms :—" Comment se porte MONSCig-
neur aujourd'hui ?—(How does My Lord do to-day ?)
