Count Hatzfeld leaves to-morrow for Paris.

It is reported in Paris, but needs confirmation,
that, in consequence of a recent convention, the
Russian naval force in the Chinese waters, which
has been lately increased, will, in future, combine
its operations with thosa of the English and French
squadrons.

Letters from the frontiers of Asia announce
that General Jacob, who commands the English
troops which wet° charged with watching Herat,
had evacuated Affghanistan, and had arrived at
Moultan, in the Punjab, on tho 17th August.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The following observations in the Constieutionnel
interpret the sentiments with which the government
and people of En
gland regard the possession of
India. Our contemporary has perhaps exagge-
rated the influence exercised by the fraction of the
Paris press hostile to England on public opinion in
Great Britain, and it would be wrong to infer that
the alliance has suffered in the least from the igno-
rant ravings of those journals :
"Every day passed without some success on the part
of the insurgents is of inestimable value to England, and
it is very natural that the last 'mail from India, preciscly
because the news has been comparatively insignificant,
has caused some degree of satisfaction. Every one,
however, is prepared for the worst, and courage
increases with the danger. The French journals which
speculate on the loss of India for Great Britain are
certainly at liberty to enlarge on that hypothesis,
which, however, has no good foundation. But one
thing alone can result from such a line of conduct : that
is, the revelation of a bad feeling, which is at least
impolitic and unworthy of us, for what in fact is
hostility vented in words ? The well informed
journals in England) as in France, are few in num-
ber ; the cheap papers badly edited are innumer-
able. The inopportune attacks directed against
our neighbours on the subject of events in India by two
or three journals in Paris have been taken for the ex-
pression of the sentiments of the great majority of the
French press, by there badly informed Esigli-h journals,
cise a considerable influence on the masses. The few
which are by far the most numerous, and which east.-
French journals to which we allude have therefore given
a wrong opinion as to the feelings of our country ; they
have lessened very gratuitously, and without any kind
of compensation, the sympathies which we possess in
England. Perhaps,' after all, they had no other
object and no other hopes. But it they have really
pictured to themselves that England was about to be
definitively driven out of India, it was iniplesible not
to feel astonishment at such a great mistake. All the
present garri.on of India, all the functionaries, the
rocidents, all the army of reinforcement, might bo mas-
sacred and annihilated, but Great Britain would not for
that abandon India. Even a European war would not
make her renounce it, and in 20 years, as at the present
mo:nent, she would be rea 'y to sacrifice ships, treasures,
and soldiers to re-establish her sovereignty there. One
of the qualities of that race, which has many others to
ceippensate for its pride and its egotism, is the inflexills
firmness which it shows in the pursuit of its enterprises.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, OCT. 14.
The critical itate of the Austrian money-market,
and the urgent necessity for immediate measures
for its relief, will probably induce the Emperor to
return from Iscbl to Vienna sooner than was ori-
ginally proposed.
Last night M. Loucoup, the proprietor of a very
large establishment in this city, attempted to blow
out his brains. The unfortunate man did not kill
himself on the spot, but he is not likely to rec2ver.
Credit Bank Shares have fallen to 198 ; Northern
