The news in the Paris Papers of Wednesday are barren
of interest. The rigorous measures• used against the
Armenian Christians at Constantinople continues to be
the only theme in the Foreign Journals; and.theAustrian
Observer strives to explain the reasons of the distrust
shawn by the Porte towards this sect. According to
letters from Bucharest, an expectation not unmixed
with hope is entertained, that the Russian army would
immediately cross the Pruth, and that Wallachia, as in
former conte,ts,would shortly become the theatre of war.

out at a place called Conlbole-stairs, Fountain-court,
in the Strand; the premises were principally occupied
as warehouses and stabling ; the flames for a time
threatened destruction to the houses contiguous, but
the speedy arrival of the engines, and a plentiful supply
of water, soon arrested the progress of the flames, and
the fire was got under in about an hour's time without
doing material damage. The inhabitants of the narrow
courts adjoining had removed their furniture and effects
in the greatest alarm.
