The Effect ofths Fusion-The War IN the East
PARIS, Dec. IL, 1853.


The Ners from the Danabe-Enaug~atios Of
Ney's Monument Thsatr Gals, &c.
Considering the exceeding cold weather, and the
difficulty that exists Of getting the brilliant season
well under way, we are not absolutely dull. The
fusion has produced greater and more prolonged
degree Of interest than could have BEEN expected.
The partizans of either branch of the Bourbon
family have shown themselves less difficult than was
supposed; and more than one Orleanist has flung
. himself into the lesitimists' arms, excaiming, we
doubt not, Brother, brother, we are both in the
wrong ~ The Emperor himself, with languid
smile Of quiet irony expresses satisfaction that family
ties SO long and painfully discovered should again be
united and trusts it may for their mutual hap
pDess. There are those who think that the court
will.be still further shora of its honors, In the loss
it may sustain Of the few 0rleanists and egtimists
who have been won over TO il, but who now
perceiying the standard Of Henri V. unfurled
and unsallied by disunion, will deem it their
duty to rally around it. But they who thus talk are
not listened to with great gravity. 1t is admitted
that political party was ever SO degraded but that
it might possibly rise again; and there is no
denying that the Bourbons may once more be in the
ascendant. though certainly nothing seems less pro-
babe at present. Republicans and Bonapartsts
said tbs numbers in France who would vote for the
returs Of the Bourbons mus be small indeed
But the nterminable Eastern question is still the
levisthan before which all minor subjects pale The
Mo ,ucta in an article of singular clearness and luc
dity, mas made known u France and to Europe the
peculiar nature OF the agreement entered into by
lnglabd, France, Austria and Prussia, from which
steEs that the efforts of France been far

The same views and the same desires" states the
pffical article "apimstc France, England Austria
mi Prussia; and a protocol, signed at Wen
De, the 9th instant, at conference at
which the representatives Of the four courts we're
present, attests thelr common resolutions" Some
arc OF opinion that all this Is as much rs to say that
the TACT OF Turks and Russians ravaging one an
others domnions, assisted by the allies of each need
produce disturbance whatever-that each party
wiM in course of time gravitate exactly, within his
proper boundary. into his proper seat and that the
land, purified by slight eruption, will speedily
sink INTO repose more blooming and fertile than
ever But it must be confessed there are many who
are scepticai Is to such . result.
On the first announcement of such happy news In
England the funds rose and Paris, not TO be out
done by whom, it is presumed, she ceases TO
think perfds, responded with sympathetic animation;
nor in truth, have these sensitive organs of nations
materially relaxed, though it il certain = much
less exuberant feeling prevails as to the favor
able conclusion of these important negotiations.
Austria it cannot be denied, IS by all parties here,
that, like the repentant prodig gal she had sought
shelter in these loved haunts of her youth, from
which necessity more than inclination mad seduced
her. but nearer inspection OF the state OF Affairs
has induced o suspicion that she has come rather rs
gobetween than bona fde aIy-that there il at
bottom hankering after the flesh pots" and that
more improbable things have occurred than that she
may lay aside the role she is now induced to perform
and become sharer in the spoils her Russian pro-
tector may acquire. The court of the Tuileries is
however apparently charmed and delie by the ac
ceesiOo of that OF Vienna. The agent who has brought
it sbout-namely, NJ. de Bourqeney-has received
gold snuff box of the value of II 900 francs the deco
ration Of the Legion Of Honor, besides fultlength
portraits OF the Emperor Napoleon and his Enpress
But perhaps not the least remarka Die feature IN this
new phase Of the Eastern question cit is observed
that the Nonteur states toat "many phases are
in store) is the new light in which Louis Napoleon
appears. The reputation Of the treaties OF Vienna,
the representation OF the family against whom they
were more Immediately devised, has suddenly be-
the stckler for the existing territorial arrange

P.ssuminQ however all parties to be superior TO

is gene RAILS thought in diplomatic circles that the
two he!li4 Pow ers hay gone 100 FAR t. settle
their difference rith"ut IL harder blows than ave

is bound to dash like ar avalanche upon the Turk be-
fore any arrangement can be dreamed of. M. de
Kisse notifies, with all courtly propriety, at the
Tuilleres the birth Of grand. duchess ard such no
tiff cation is received with all possible amenty but,
at the sane time, day after day, we hear Of Rus
sian residents, conspicuous by their wealth and
station being suddenly Summoned peremptorlly to
leave Paris and repair 10 S.. Petersburg.
1t is urged also that if it possible that the
quaJ,upe conference should be successful ia the pro-
motion Of its object, and that the two contending
parties were to lay down their arms, 1t by no means
follows that general European disturbance will IT
follow. Passions and principles have been sgaia agi-
tated, and are only waiting to rush from their hdin
places THERE'S, it is said 10 magazine Of guupowder
in the very heart of Europe, and the nunberless
trains which scattered in every direction need but
an accidental spark to cause general explosion.
Meanwhile, conflicting accounts reach US OF the mill
tary positions and preparations of the two belge-
rents. Omer Pacha is stated on account Of the
weather, to have retired from 0teDitza and TO have
been suffered to do go without molestation on the
part of the enemy. The l4'est accounts represent
him as continuing 10 undsturbed possession of Kale

Danube: q position from which ne would be able to
