lows:-"Now, look ye, my good man, would rather
you would stick to the bargain which We struck al
the Paris Conferences, q this would save me q
good deal Of trouble Visdvs the French people and
the other Powers, and you would remove every
atom Of suspicion concerning your good wishes Il
poor little Turkey. This would serve In the
meantime, to countermine the influence Austria
has gained with the Sublime Porte, for having
got your troops out Of the Danubian Principalites
And then, beg y0u, for Heavens sake, consider
that by executing the aforesaid convention you
might throw . stone into the garden Of the Anglo.
which, dare say, cannet be over agreeable to you
my dear, dear Russians. Prusds, you know, always
sides with You, AZ Sardinia with me and you, espe
cialy when hoping for some possible encroachment
events, a. did when she was fighting against you.
Therefore, come do a. bid you; there good fci-
low" After which speech General Kissele6 smiled,
bowed, and shed . hall. frozen Russian tear. Thus
ended conversation which took place In An embra
sure Of window in the Tuileries, where nobody
was able to see to hear what the Emperor and the
General were about. Now you will probably wonder
at the long or sharp ears Of Mr. Stag, or at the ar
vell0us confidence either Louis Napoleon or Genera
Kisselef put in the discretion Of the sagacious gen
tlemen. /, for my part, cannot help admiring and
envyiDg Mr.. Stag for being on the most intimate
terms with Louis Napoleon (else very reserved
and taciturn prince) or Russian ambassador, who
likewise Is not known for very laxative and COM
muncative person, and for his being inita ed into
the secrets Of conversation which nobody was al
lowed to approach. The Cologne Gazette and the
Hamburg Nescs, l dare say-and nobody will
contradiCt me-are indeed happy to have
q correspondent of their "own" whom m
other correspondent on this side Of the Atlantic
might equal; thus humbly strike my correspon
dental flag, and freely acknowledge the superiority
of Mr.. Stag. The only thing l, poor "know nothing
as am, could learn concerning the above mention
ed conversation is that Louis Napoleon did not say
"Ay, there's the rub;' and Europe must feel yer,
much obliged to Mr.. Stag for his sharp ears.
With regard to the Neafchstel affair, his Majesty
the King Of Prussia, in his last public speech,
the heroism and devotedness Of his people, conde-
scended to shed some heartfelt tears, which nfamed
the Prussian deputies to so high degree OF enthu
siam that there ia hope for peaceably settling the
whole affair. A peaceful arrangement would indeed
be profitable to both parties
The Neapofitan and Bolgrad questions are still
unanswered, but new conferences en- miaiature, are
it is believed to be held the course Of next month
England, too, seems not altogether disinclined to
have the different European questions resolved at
these conferences, which she formerly abhored but
now looks upon with more pleasant eye, as the in
uence of very high and llustrious person is said
TO prevail Ia the royal private cabinets. Whether
these conferences are to meet in Paris Brussels or
elsewhere is as yet undecided.
The Emperor Francis Joseph has been received
by the people Of Trieste with every demonstration
say, was still surpassed by the general enthusiasm
he was greeted with at Venice. Thus the hypocriti
cal fears which several newspapers uttered lest his
majesty might prejudice his own rank and dignity
by paying visit to the Italian provinces, proved
utterly unfounded and vain. Numerous acts OF
clemency, donations, grants of pardon, have taken
place, and prepossessed the lively Italians in favor
Of the young, generous and chiyalrous monarch.
With regard to the Danish entertainments on the
privileges Of the Duchies of Holstcin and Lauen-
burg, on the rights Of the German Confedera
ton In general, and on the late convention with
Austria and Prussia, Austria has declared not to
yield the least iota OF the rights Of Germany, and
invited Prussia to join this declaration.

/ am not going to tell you today, friend
HERALD, those very reserved secrets which an
nounced TO you in my last letter, because they

in my nkstand This letter might be lost in France
and the intermeddling police Of his Imperial Ma
jesty get the benefit of my particular gossip which

The opportunity will soon come for sending you
the secrets.
What am going to tell you now are the insight
fcant things. For example: II is deHnihvely re.
solved by the Spanish government 10 dismiss Concha
from the post Of Captain General Of Cuba.
They are waiting the arrival Of the next mail from
the Havana, which it is expected will bring h,s
resignation. II It does not, he viii be dismissed
without further ceremony.
Second item-Queen Isabella has written another
autograph letter to the Pope, promising to do all
that he wishes in the matter Of the sale Of the church
property in Spain.
Third item-There Ia no change in the Cabinet,
and Pidal has determined not to resign the place OF
Minister OF State.
But let us talk seriously: Your election Of Pre-
sdent has been an election very little TO the taste OF
us Spaniards The man among Us who says least
says that Buchanan is . ilibuster, and You kno =
what that means in Spanish mouth. The p-ess
tears its hair in commentaries upon this elec ,
and the government is already thinking what II ..a
do II Buchanan sends out here hlibustering Minis
ter. The Cabinet Ia having serious councils about
the means Of defending the island Of Cuba, and they
are making haste to arrange the difficult questions
which We have pending with Mexico and San Do
mingo. i can also assure you that the squadron
which we have prepared in the port Of Havana TO
send to Vera Cruz In ordered not to sail, and viii
not sail unless II should have got uuder weigh before
the orders reach IL.
Do you want me to tell you frankly who Is the
who could do sonnet here for the democratic
party, and for Cuba Well, IL Ia the excellent Sec
rotary OF Legation, Mr. Buckingham Smith. His
talents, his knowledge Of the language, and the sym
pathies he has excited at the Court, would make
him an excellent Minister TO Spain. The truth is 10
DO told, Mr.. HERALD, and Mr.. Smith Is Q man Of
much merit
Now, then, just few strokes Of the charcoal TO
