FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
"It is asserted that the' Conferences on the
affairs of the Danubian Principalities will re-
assemble at Paris in the course, of the present week.
" Two sittings only will be held, all the Powers
having agreed to recognise the election of Prince
Couza.

"It is said that the Congress will take place
between the 15th and 20th of April. The Presse even
fixes the date for its assembling as the Ist of April.

" Yesterday a private dinner was given at the
Tuileries, at which Count Cavour was present. It
is said that Count Cavour is much pleased with his
stay, and that he will quit Paris prObably on
Wednesday next.
"It is also said that the Count will afterwards
go to London."
The Siecle contains the following :—" France,
Italy, and England have no reason to fear the
ancient Diet of Frankfort, which is nothing but
ghost. And when we speak thus of the Frankfort
Diet we express the opinion of Germany, whose
nationality we respect, and who does not require
the sword of France to defend herself, but whom
we would defend if necessary ; for the principle of
nationalities is a principle eminently French, and
none are more decided than ourselves to sus-
tain it." _

A telegram announces the result of the election
of a representative for the department of the Haut
Rhin. Elector's inscribed, 34,520. M. Keller, the
Government candidate, 18,550. Cunt Migeon,
10,863.

PARIS BOURSE.—The market has been heavy,
and prices declining, owing to many speculators for
a rise having been obliged to sell in order to square
their accounts before the end of the month. Railway
shares have been offered. Threes, after having
been done at 68f. 35c., declined to 68f. 20c. ; Mobi-
lier varied from 780 f. to 775 f. ; Austrian, 545 f. to
540 f. ; Lombardo-Venetian, 520 f. to 517 f. 50c. ;
Orleans, 1,360 f. to 1,355 f. ; Lyons, 843 f. 75c. to
840 f. ; Eastern, 672 f. 50c. to 662 f. 50c. The mar-
ket continued to be depressed to the close, when
the following were the last quotations :-

AUSTRIA.

A letter dated Vienna, March 26, says,—The

Congress was to have met immediately, but a new
difficulty, which must necessarily lead to some
delay, has arisen. Sardinia refuses to discon-
tinue her armaments, and Austria will not send a
Plenipotentiary to the Congress if her adversary
persists in maintaining such a menacing and aggres-
sive attitude. The Ost-Deutsche Post yesterday
observed that the Congress could not deliberate in
the midst of the clang and clash of arms ; and
that when Austria agreed to the proposed Con-
gress she made disarmament on the part of Sar-
dinia a condilio sine qua non. As a matter of
course, there will be a diplomatic correspondence on
the subject ; and the er.d of the thing will probably
be, that Sardinia will consent to withdraw her
troops from the immediate frontiers of Lom-
bardy, Parma, and Modena. All the great
Powers have accepted the protocol of the Con-
gress of Aix-la-Chapelle as the basis for future
negotiations ; aud, such being the case, it is by no
means unlikely that Sardinia will be admitted to
the Congress. The Russian proposition is, that the
five great Powers shall meet in Congress, but
France will hardly fail to urge that Sardinia ought
in justice be allowed to take part in the delibera-‘
tions on the state of things in Italy. This Govern-
ment will not object to the admission of Sardinia to
the Congress, but as a ' matter of course, it will
claim the same privilege for the other Italian
States. Should the great Powers agree to meet
Naples, Rome, Tuscany, Modena, and Parma in,
conference, their representatives will have to give
thepas to the Nuncio, it being expressly stipulated
in an annex to the Vienna Act of Congress that the
Papal Legate .shall take precedence of the ambas-
sadors and envoys of the other Governments. The
war party in Austria is exceedingly
.annoyed that
Count Buol has accepted the Russian proposition,
and it predicts that the Congress will prove a
failure. '

" The evil day," says a man of high standing,
"is only postponed, for concessions will be de-
manded from Austria which she neither can nor.
will grant. France has played her game with
great skill, for she will be able to complete her
armaments while the diplomatists are engaged in
negotiations which cannot possibly lead to a satis-
factory result."
