FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes, under date of Monday evening, the 18th
Of May, and says:
One or two letters that have just reached

The particular policy of Germany, and the

as active, as ardent, as devoted TO work, as he
ever had been. The Emperor Nicholas has,
in no wise ceased TO cherish for him the same
esteem, and 10 manifest the same respect tor
his Counsels as before. Ii Is also known that
friendship of an ancient date subsists between
M de >fesselrode and Nj. de Metternich. The
new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria,
Count Buol, participates in the ideas OF the
two statesmen with whom he is associated
NJ. de Buo is the son of the former President
of the Germanic Diet, and the faiher-In.law of
n. de Meyendorff, actual minister OF Russia at
Vienna. The Emperor Nicholas has much
confidence in de Buol, whom he had seen at
the Dresden Conferences. 1t Is quite natural
that much curiosity should exist as to the
nature Of the diplomatic business discussed
between the TWO Emperors, or under their
auspices; as yet, however, only generalities are
known; at a later period, perhaps, we may
even al the present moment be safely affirmed
that the sovereigns, as we'll as their conhden-
tiaI advisers, earnestly desire to maintain peace
In Europe, at the same time that they are de-
termined that no one shall infringe the treaties
OF 1914 and 1915, which form the public law OF
Europe; and that both the spirit and the letter
Of whose Instruments. shall be respected.
The soyereigns do not hesitate to recognize
the right of each nation to select It's own gov
ernment; but on condition that it shall at the
same time respect the rights of its neighbors.
Such in fact were the premises established
at the very opening of the conference; they
were at once admitted and it appears GER
tain that the necessity was avowed OF coming
to an understanding as TO the general liHe OF
conduct 10 be followed in future with reference
TO the affnirs of Europe. My letters continue
TO state that it has been agreed on that the
three cabinets of Vsenna. Berlin and ST. Pc
tersburg should become bound by a closer ALI
dace; that they should not treat separately,
and that, in word, all affairs should be con-
Quoted in common. The Cabinet of Berlin
was not represented officially at the confer
ences of Vienna, but there appears no doubt
that it adheres completely TO those resolutions.
Nobody can suppose thai this alliance, so re-
solved on, can be disturbed by questions of
ininor lmpt rtance-such, tor example, as the
custom union, which is being discussed be-
tween pvuasia nd har allies af the ZniIyretn
and, on the other hand, with Austria. Those
questions, which might occasion momentary
embarss ssI sInents, will not divide the two powers
in anv serious manner. They may be regard
ed as capable OF exciting family quarrels, in
which none but real friends can NEEDLE, whose
Intervention is equally desired by both parties
Moreover the work commenced at Vienna will
be continued almost without interruption, al
Berlin, by the Emperor OF Russia, who pro
poses to proceed in a few days there TO vis
his brother-in-iaw, the King OF Prussia, ant
who will, perhaps, be accompanied by the Em
peror of Austria.
