PARrs, MAY 26, 1858.
The important Intelligence which has arrived
from the East, the Ssaton of diplomatic relations
between Austria and Aitzerland, and the speeches.
in the Legislative Corn Of MN. FLAyIdNY and
MoNTALEMBERT, have gNen unusual animation
this week to the field of Fresch politics. The de-
parture Of the Cars envoy nom Constantinople,
after the defnitiye rejection Of HIS ultimatum touch
ing the politsoreligious protectorase which he de-
manded from the Porte in favor of tie Emperor of
Russia, sensibly affected the bourse OF Paris, but
does not give rise to serious apprehension Of open
rupture It seems well understood that the answer
of the Sultan not given till after consultation
with the representatives of England and France I;
that the assent of these Powers was had accom-
panied with the assurance that if the Gar should
resort to arms, England and France would act in
CONCERT for the protection of the Ottoman Empire.
1t is believed, under these circumstances, that
Russia Will not proceed to extremities at present
The note of the Porte conveying the rejection OF
the Russian ultimatum is drawn up in measured
but dignifed and firm terms The Sultan declares
his desire to preserve friendly relations with Russia
To this end he had shown and would still show the great
est aacrity in accedng to all the demands of the Gar
not inconsistent with the interest honor, and ndepend-
ence of the Porte The Porte had given what
gree the religious rights and privileges of his subjects
protesting the Greek religion So far from it, the for
NAL will and intention to maintain them in all respects
they had been established and respected by the Suans
predecessors distinctly announced. He could not

therefore be accorded,
notwithstanding the desire sincerely felt to satisfy and
pratify the Emperor of Russia. Thereupon the Prince
MEsscHrKoFF retired board Russian steamer and,
having ascerained after little delay that the Sultans
refusal was dentive the Prince took his final departure
The sequel is anxiousy looked for.
In the mean time copies of the frmans which are
granted by the Sultan for the regulation Of the disputed
rights Of the Greeks and Lans the Holy Shrnes at
Jerusalem have reached Paris and of the journals
are bold enough to suggest an inconsistency between
their terms and those of recent official communication
inserted in the Moneur, which averred that the
ditions of settlement fixed by the rmans affected in
nowse the concessions obtained last year by the dplo-
macy of M. DE LA VALETTE.
The Swiss question also, which has been wearing
tedously away during the last three months has entered
upon new phase The Austrian Charge d Afaires at
Berne has, by order of his Government left Switzerland
and suspended all diplomatic relations between Austria
viousy during the last month received notes from various
of the secondary German Powers expressing their adhe
sion the of Austria in the actual dispute and
urging the Government of the Republic to give satisfac
ton to what termed the reasonable demands of the
Emperor of Austria touching political refugees and the
expelled Capuchn monks The Swiss authorities smart
y replied the interfering little German princes but
have failed to observe the most discreet moderation
in act and word in all their direct relations with the
~ tho
ed policy likely be still persisted in by the Co.
of the Republic. Switzerland is evidently act
ing with the full persuasion that she is surrounded by
enemies the west less than the east NORTH and
south If she not assured that France in
heart and perhaps in fact with the Austrian pretensions
and that far from supporting Switzerland against Aus
tria Prussia, and the of little German despots in
their train, the commencement of hostilites would al
most inevitably provoke the French invasion of Geneva
indignation of the Swiss Government against the in
sung aggressons of Austria would have burst forth
much more violently. 1t has temporiscd however, with
so much persistence up TO this tme and devoured its
wrath successfully, that have not much reason to
apprehend that win follow from this suspension Of
diplomatic relations Yet the retirement of the Austrian
Charge from Berne has the less produced political
sensation at Paris

The discussion last Friday NJ de NJ. there,
and from the meagre report Of his speech published
in the Monteur last Sunday, it is evident that he well
