PARIS, MONDAY MORNING.
The departure of the Marquis di Cintono, the
Sardinian Minister, from Vienna has not yet been
officially announced here ; nevertheless it is gene-
rally believed to have taken place.
The Conference on the Neuchatel question was to
have met to-day, but did not, the Swiss Plenipo-
tentiary not being yet prepared with a categorical
answer to the propositions of M. de fiatzfeld.

Captain Roussiu, commander of the steam sloop
Averne, who is appoiuted to proceed to the mouths
of the lanube to be stationed there, has been sum-
moned to Paris to receive special instructions from
the Government. The Averne is at Toulon, under-
gomg repairs.

- It bas been decided that Admiral Hamelin, Mi-
nister of Marine, accompanied by the French Bo trd
of Admiralty, will proceed to Toulon, to receive
the Grand Duke Constantine, who will proceed to
England after having visited France.
The Moniteur publishes a decree granting ...he
military medal to 183 non-commissioned oftice,rs

Ferukk' Khan is expected in a few days back

legation. It is said that he will terminate in that
capital the negotiations entered into with different
powers for commercial treaties with Persia, and
will embark iu September to return to his own
c,untry. _ _ _

The surprising defeat sustained by the Man-
chester party in England is thus briefly commented
on by the _Presse

" The English elections are going on with rapidity,
and we are already acquainted with a third of the re-
su!ts. They prove to be both a victory of the Lliberal
party over the Conservative party, and a personal
triumph of Lord Palmerston. The personal suc-
cess of Lord Palmerston consists above all in.
the check sustained by some of his most re-
markable and most meritorious adversaries. If Glad,
stone and Roebuck have been re-elected, Cobden, Bright
Gibson, and Layard have lost their seats. The defeat
of the Manchester school is a deplorable triumph of
party spirit ; but popularity is easily reconquered, and
Cobden an Bright will doubtless not long remain exiled
from Parliament."

The Union offers the following remarks on the
re-election of Lord Rilmersion

"No doubt was ever entertained with regard to the
re-election of Lord Palmerston at Tiverton ; we have
tt,crefore simply to announce Vie Puccess of the noble
lord. We will not dwell on the speech he delivered
to the electors, for we prefer the address
published by him a few days ago, which was
clearer and more satisfactory. Oue sentence
has, however, excited our attention ; it is where the
Premier declares that the commercial intercourse of
England with foreign States shall be as free in regard to
tariffs as the laws, &c., of those countries may permit.'
This passage deserves to be recorded, for it comprises the
whole policy of England."

RUSSIA.

The latest advices from St. Petersburg state
that investigations have been instituted in several
departments of the service in consequence of the
statements made by Sir R. Peel in hiS speech near
Birmingham. The result has been, it is said, to
prove the entire innocence of the persons incrimi-
nated. by Sir Robert.

The friends of peace in Russia express great
satisfaction at the conclusion of the treaty between
England and Persia. At the moment when the
Emperor received the intelligence, Prince Gorts-
chakoff happened to be witn him, and received
the news from the Emperor's mouth. The latter
jexclaimed in conclusion, " Ala bonne heure ;
j' en suis tres content. Dites le dM. Wodehouse."
The Prince repaired immediately to our Minister,
and, after concratulating him, invited him to a
grand entertainment to b given in honour of the
occasion. The entertainment accordingly took place
in the Hotel of Foreign Affairs on a very splendid
scaie, and was attended by nearly every embassy,
with their entire personnel. The Invalide, Northern
Bee, and the Journal of the Academy exoress their
satisfaction also at the peace, though the former
seems dissatisfied that England should obtain any
advantages by it.
