doubtful whether the government will allow the press
of Paris to publish the details of the affair the names
of the consprato,s, and all the particulars which will
be unveiled by the investigation OF the police. We
shall see about it, and for my part will be anr

The second leading event Of the week Ia the pas

by the English and French press, but the conclusion
they come to is in favor II peace and the Journalists
and diplomats are persuaded that there will DC no
war 1t is nearly certain that the Russian army will
stop in the Dannbian provinces, and will await the
effect Of that preliminary measure. In the mean
time the French and Brt'sh fleets W II anchor in the
waters Il CoIstantnOple, and will occupy their
diplomatic position IN order to let the pegotiators
make a new effort. The war; then, will only be at
hand in case that Russia sends another ultimatum,
with delay; after the end OF which the army of
Nicholas will adv ance to wards Constantinope. Even
the fleets of France and England would be fouad to
give assistance TO the Turkish squadron. The mis-
sion of n. dc Bruck Envoy from Austria to Con
stantinope, and OF General Gulay ut ST. Petersburg,
are considered as the best proofs that the Austrian
government desires not to see the Gar attack the
TuIks.
The warlike proceedings Of Nicholas are gene

the Gar about his demand to the Sublime Porte,
which has been rejected, owing to the influence Of
France and England. In case Of a war, be it known

q steamboat called the Srh.ed has been obliged to
return TO Consiantinoplc without taking the mail
and passengers from Austria. This interruption Of
the navigation Of the Danube would cause much
damage To all those who are trading with London and
Liverpool.
Whilst Russia is invading the Danubian provinces,
the English government has sent q message to the
French Minister OF Foreign Affairs by which, it is
said the crossing Of the Pruth river cannot be con-
sidered bea, and that this step OF Russia is
not sufficient TO give orders to the British and French
fleets to lass the Dardanelles. am told by well
informed gentleman that when this despatch was
received IN Paris the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Immediately called at st. Cloud to rec the Emperor
who got into violent passion. and said to M. Drouyn
de rHuys, "Very well; If England does not sup

the coalition against Russia the British government

has also been sent to Constantinople, to teach
strategy to the troops of Abdul Medjid.
The other matters in France, though not so In
terestiDg the preceding facts, are nevertheless
worth being mentioned, and they are recapitulated
as follows
The Emperor attended grand review of the troops
at the Camp OF Satory, on Thursday last, during
which, to the great establishment OF all those persons
who we've present, no shouts OF enthusiasm were
uttered, either by the army or by the people. The

another epoch, and there is q rumor afoat which
says that She is still in very interesting state.
