RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

11,tstter from Paris says :—lt is evident to me
il,tussia is about to balance accounts with
'lll, The Government mainly contributed
abolition of the Russian Protectorate in
ioanubian Principalities, and the St. Peters-
(Cabinet is resolved to pay it in kind. At
ilt Prince Gortschakoff speaks of the necessity
4structinc, a " golden bridge," across which
French Government can retreat with honour,
ilen the Congress is assembled he will doubt-
il%e very different language. He will agree with
Walewski in thinking that the Austrian
:torate in Italy ought to be abolished, and
Perhaps, propose that the neutrality of its
ilt States shall be guaranteed by the Powers.
Ikustrians refrain from expressing any dis-
tOf Russia, but it is evident that they place
at confidence in her. Russia and France will
less endeavour to make Austria " eat dirt,"
1,1,km convinced that she would rather go to
ran submit to any great humiliation. By a
kin of the 25th inst. we learn that the pre-
‘'e censure for newspapers and pamphlets has
introduced into Tuscany. This odious measure
he attributed to the influence of the Austrian
went, and probably with justice. It was
ed that the whole edition of the pamphlet
any and Austria," had been confiscated at
Dee, but we learn from Turin very many
of it are in circulation. An officer, a native

trthern Germany, writes from the left bank of
itleino that there is no European nation which
t represented in the Austrian army. There are
100 Hanoverian officers and GO Mecklen-
rs, but Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and
fly are less strongly represented. Since the
pthe Crimea there have been but few English
tench officers in the Austrian army.

(1q 01' GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
It at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.10
Sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
-114 price of £3 17s. 102 d. per ounce for standard gold,
es that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in
than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
1 gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on
t.li
4, is 13.24 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
Mint price is therefore about 6-10ths per cent.
till Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
P, at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
l't 1094 per cent., which, when compared with the
re between the two countries, shows that the ex-
is slighly in favour of England ; and, after making
,ee for chrages of transport and difference of inte-
'4s present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor-
(l gold from the United States.
weekly returns of the Lombardo-Venetian
iILY continue to show extraorelinary;results, not only
.45 increased traffic consequent on the state of mill-
eparation, tut to a still greater extent from the
,' development of the line. For the week ending the
mt., the figures, as compared with those of the pre-
-sa.r, presnt an augmentation of 105 per cent., of which
Venths are attributed to regular operations.
