sspatch states that to the French request
to ev. cuate the Danubian Principalities, the
Austt ANS had returned a fat refusal. This
gives ,he matter of the Principalities promi-
nencesover all other topics.
Th French Government journals assert def
nitely and explicitly, that the Porte has de-
mand 3D. in due form, that the Austrians shall
evacr ate the Principalities and the British the
Blacl Sea, but that they, by secret and mu-
tual understanding, refuse to leave. The Eng
lish journals, under the immediate inspiration of
the Government, deny this, and assert, on the
cont ,ry, that no such demand has been made
by \ Porte.

The funds opened steadily on the 3lst, but
sub equently showed increased animation. In
the Sank and discount market there was a very
actl re demand for money. There had been no
turtaer decrease of bullion in the Bank of Eng

The news is important as regards the chang
ing aspects of relations between France and
En- land. Public rumor no longer hesitates to
say that an Anglo-Austrian alliance is necessary
to Counterfeit the threatened alliance between
Russia and France. Official information being
keEi carefully from the public, we have no
MEMS of knowing how far these new alliances
have progressed. Such hints as are given on
the subject come from the Paris correspondents
of he London journals.
s'he Times Paris correspondent saws:
Whether well founded or not the opinion
is very general that not only does there exist a
seHous difference between France and England
on more than one point, but also that the latter
hat been completely reconciled to Austria, and
thstthe formeris now on more than friendly terms
wi! b Russia and the Austrians in Paris boast
tn; it is not possible for two Cabinets to be on
mtre amicable terms than those of Vienna and
Le Adon. That a corresponding sentiment pre-.
va IS between Russia and France is equally be-
lie Jed, and certain ex-Minister of Louis Phil
iP e is said to have recently offered to wager a
re ysonable sum, that England and Austria on
oss hand, and Russia and France on the other,
wsuld soon be more openly hostile. In all these
pisdictions the wish, no doubt, is father to the
Thought. If these statements are to be believed,
the same rivalry that formerly existed between
The Ftench and English Ambassadors at Con.
st5ntnople is revived. owing to the alarming
progress of French influence, obtained by their
g. eaStoerance in Turkish affairs. Lord STRAIT
fo ID demanded and received unlimited powers
1t being evident that France had the support OF
II issia, OF course England accepted the CO op-
q alton of Austria. Again, in the Neapolitan
q ;estion, France has been equally all along dis
P sed TO act in this matter also with extreme
fsfbearance, in comparison with the more de-
csled policy of England"
SIhe Times correspondent quotes letter from
Munich, which says:
England is by no means satisfied with
France, who seems Indifferent about requiring
II pm Russia the execution of the treaty of 3Oth
arch and England, perceiving this DISPOSE
tDn, draws closer to Austria
: The Paris writer of the London Morning Post
,kes different view of the case, and says that
tie diplomacy of England and France, "despite
tie intrigues Of third Power," is united on all
teat questions calculated to insure the tran
tpllity of Europe.
? The Morning Post, generally supposed to be
lie exponent of Lord Palmerston's views, denies
1at there is any truth in the report that the An
llo-French alliance is in danger. 1t saws that
Gin spite of the intrigues of a third Power" the
vo countries are entirely united upon European
f'olicy.
