week that the rersisn difficulties have been satlsac
torlly settled at Paris between FcrOuk Khan and
Lord COwley, but it seems that the announcement
war premature, and that there are several serious
differences still pending and not easy to be over
come. As regards tbe alleged treaty between the
Shah and the Gar for the Ccsslen OF the country
between Bayazeed and NakbshivaD, it IL positively
Affirmed BY the Russians at Vienna, aud positively
denied by the Russians at Paris. SO much ID GER
tain. that Russia is now turning her aggresslons
exclusively to hsio concentrating large numbers OF
troops around the Caspian, recommending host-
ties against Shamyl aud the ClrcnssIans, and con-
structng forts along the JaIutcs. All She Iurko-
man States between the of Ara and the western
Chinese frontier are now under the influence oil
Russian diplomacy, either by bribery or by fear OF
coercion. Still as the country Ia poor on tho
whole III spite Of some very fertile GASES, such as
Ssmarkasd and Ferghans, with no dense popula'
latjon and but little industry, all this extension has
less pslpable value than, for instance, the ncrpo-
ration Of the kingdoms OF Sattara aud Dude IN
India England Ia now not so easily alarmed by
Central Asiatic intrgucs, and does not grudge the
ssnauest of the Turanian deserts to the Car.
Tie Emperor of Austria has modified the pass
port system, by which travellers in his domluons
were hitherto necessarily ycxed. Acting upon En-
Qlish advice he is trying TO cOnciiate his subjects
but even Baron Bruok financial talents are unable
to erapple with the inherent evils Of the Austrian
standardization. The deficits cannot be- met, and

The next two years. A centralized beaurcracy
may be very pleasant and handy tool for de'potiC
governments; but it iss costly pleasure, entailips
Sish taxation, which again does not produce good
feeling between the subjects and their masters.

The dsmssting Of the Resolute, by order of the
Admiralty, seems to show deplorabe want OF
courtesy toward America, and is said to be con-
pected with the manner in which the Senate hal
received the Central American treaty. l doub,
