FnANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
NerS writes S follows;
Il am Informed from source which
does not leave me at liberty TO doubt of
its authenticity, that trea .y-ihe de-
tails OF which have not transpired-has
actually been signed between England
and France with view to conce rted &C
ton in the affairs OF Turkey in given.cir-
cumstances. The English and French
Ambassadors TO the Porte will now lose
no time in hurrying to the post where
their presence is Sc much needed
Mr., Rives will leave Paris in May

Haynau's sudden death has surprised
nc one who knew what his habits were.
He was great eater. and the large guam
titles Of strnng wines aud cofI~e '.:.i,-h
he drank continually. kept him in a state
of unnatural excitement. His death is

In Vienna letters of the 18th, it is sta

degree in England. In the late demands
of Austria on the Porte. public feeling
was tranquilized by the thought that Rus
STA took no part in the matter. No soon
err, however, had the Sultan succumbed
to the Austrian demands than Russia
under the pretext of mission TO treat
respecting the disagreements arising from
the guardianship of the Holy Places, and
other matters which diplomatic custom
would have confided TO DIN envoy of no
special prestige, dispatched Prince Men
chikolf. Minister OF Marine. with the
accompaniment of a staff Of military and
naval officers. that gives his embassy
more the appearance of challenge TO an
enemy than of a mission to strengthen
the footing between friendly powers.
Previous to his setting out for Con-
stantinosle, this Envoy, Menchicolf,

after all, being the weak spot in the rela-
tons between Russia, France and Eng
land, the public funds of the two latter
countries have shown depression. al

land. A curious and highly important
feature In the present aspect of this
''ve-y pretty quarrel" is the evident dis
inclination of England to interfere in the
business. This disinclina.ion is so evil

the continental press. and especially of
