The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says:
alt appears that courier left Pars on We'd
nesday last with dispatches for St. Petersburg aud
that those dispatches are intended reply TO a
communication very recently addressed by M de
Nesselrode TO the Russian minister in Paris
shall not offer any conectures respects that com
municaton, but merely limit myself TO informing
you, for the present, that it was of euch kind
gave but little satisfaction those for whom il was
Intended; and, without affirming that the reply
was OF an angry nature, it will be believed it was
not very dlssinilar in tone; in fact, of such kind
as to justify the description given in a note ema-
mating from well-informed quarter, that the re-
iations between France and Russia are at this mo-
ment but tres mediocres The Emperor Nicholas
Is said to have declared, with reference to the Pre-
sident OF the republic that, should new Plebisc
confer the title of emperor the chief of the State
IN France he could only regard the French repub
lic in the same manner Poland was before its
partition-no doubt with reference to its system of
elective monarchy, the anarchy that accompanied
the elections, and perhaps the weakness of the
ecunve that such system would not fail to pro-
duce sooner or later. 1t is expected that the EN-
peror Nicholas, accompanied by the empress, will
visit Berlin in the month of May next; 'and then,
no doubt adds my informant, some line of con-
duct with respect to political relations with France
may be adopted In common by the three sover-
eigns.'"
AUsTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The Vienna correspondent Of the London Times,
OF February II, says:
GAS the Austrian prees Is completely silent re-
speeding the state of public feeling in Hungary it
is generally believed here that the great mass of
the people is reconciled to the new order ofthngs;
but such is far from being the case by granting
to the lower classes the political rights
their superiors the government expect to gain pop
ulsrity, and this aim would probably have been
attained if an attempt had not at the same time
been made to 'Austrianize' the country. The
Hungarian had from time immemorial been ac-
customed to travel from extremity of his ma
tive country to the other without let or hndrance,
but now he is subjected to all the vexatons and
delays inseparabie from the Austrian passport sys-
tem From lrrefutablc authority learn that this
kind OF thraldom ia intolerable to the people,
that their hostility to their rulers is rapidly degen-
Grating into positive hatred.
"The taxes are levied without any un usual diff
Guilty, and even resistance to the measures of gov
eminent Is rarely offered but still it is felt by all
parties that as long as Hungary is treated as
common Austrian province, the army stationed in
the country can never with safety be reduced. OF
course the foregoing remarks apply to all those
provinces which were formerly included in the
kingdom OF Hungary. People generally in
cined to think that Kossuth is still very popular
in Hungary, but it appears to me that his name is
employed simply as a raying word for the dsaf-

the capital of Croatia. The garrison of Vienna is
at present principally composed of Croats, who

In Hesse it is punishable offence not to wear
the crosses and marks of distinction bestowed by
the government, and it would almost appear that
the right of voting will not be exercised by the peo
pie unless il is made penal to omit doing
The Duchess OF Orleans bad addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the President refusing the dona-
ton of 300 ,OOOf per annum, maintained to her in
the decree of January %:

"HELENA D'ORLEANS."
portion Of the property belonging to the heirs
of the late King Philippe has been put up for sale
in the Civil Tribunal Of First Instance of the de-
partment Of the Seine, with all the formalites re-
CURED by the law. The property was composed
of three lots, namely: what is known as the Pavi-
hon de Wurtemburg and its dependencies; house
situate at Neuilly; and orchard appertaining to
the great park of Neuilly-all dependencies of the
domain of Neuily. The first sold for 95, 050f.,
exclusive Of charges; the second. 9,000f.; and the
third, ,050f. The sale attracted considerable
number Of persons in consequence Of the decree of
confscaton of the 23d of january. The sale
without reference TO that decrse and the fact of its
not having been arrested by the law ofcers Of the
government in consequence of that decree has APP
peared strange, and in fact inexpcable to the
friends Of the Princess of the Orleans family who,
however, do not expect repeal Of the unfavorabe
decree.
