EmOror'mem Of France and Austria.-Pa,is
Jan. 1.-The usual levee on the occasion of the
new year was held yesterday at the TuiIeries.
1t is stated that, during the levee, the Empe-
ror told the Austrian Minister, NJ. Hubner, that
he regretted their relations rapport were so
bad, hut that his personal sentiments for the
Emperor of Austria were the same as ever. A
rumor also Gircuates that Marshal Valiant,
Minister OF War, went up subsequently to NJ.
Hubner, and said TO him, E" suppose | must
not give you my hand after that"
With reference to the foregoing, the cores
pOndent of the Times says "The few words
addressed by the Emperor to NJ. Hubner we're
spoken with a much more emphatic tone of
voice and animated gesture than the Emperor
generally employs, and reminded some of the
listeners of a scene between the First Consul
and the English Ambassador of that day, pre-
viOus to the rupture of the treaty of Amiens."
They are commented upon in various ways
in all circles where politics are the topic; and
| learn that, in the higher financial re ions
where they are known, they have produced an
effect which is difficult to exaggerate | will
not indulge in speculations as to what they por-
tend. 1t is well knogn that the Emperor keeps
the greatest guard oyer himself, and never al
lows an unguarded expression to reveal his real
thoughts; but it is certain on this occasion he
betrayed vivacity which could not pass unno-
ticed by the diplomatic corps. If the Bourse
was open to-day, have no doubt that the effect
would be severely felt. think it ripht to add
few words of explanation on so Unusual an
occurrence. For the last two or three months,
negotiations have been going on between Aus
trla and France; On the subject of Italy, The
Emperor expresses himself very anxious that
reforms should be introduced there, and partic
ularly in the Roman States. The Austrian
Government has been urged to use its influence
with the Pope and the King of Naples for that
purpose and the Emperor Napoleon hac, J Gn
assured, agreed . re ai,hd,awal Of the French
troops from Rome, on condition that the Aus
TRANS should evacuate the places they hold
In the midst of all this comes the Servian
complication, and the probability of an Austrian
occupation there also. This, !, appears, the
Emperor most decidedly sets his face against.
He will listen to no occupation, except joint
one, in Servia, and under the authorization of
the Powers who signed the treaty Of Paris. We
have every dag new accounts of the efferves-
cence that prevails in Italy, and the sympathy
which Sardinia shows to the disconnected, as
well as of what is passing in Serva. All this
has produced its effect on the Emperor's mind !;
and thus, notwithstanding his habitual reserve,
he could not but show it Yesterday, when the
representative OF Austria stood before him.
Paras, Monday Euentag, January 3.-The
words addressed by the Emperor to the Aus.
trian Ambassador, at the levee, are still the
theme Of conversation in diplomatic and COM
mercial circles There is not representative
in Paris who has not written long dispatches to
his Court on the subject.
Inc rope NuHclo, too, went away discon-
certed at the GOODNESS of the reception he met
with. There is nothing to surprise us in this.
His Pontfical Excellency is not believed to be
very popular among his colleagues.

day, and general fall took place.
The IHrie, alluding to the report on the
Bourse to the effect that dissentions are believed
to exist between France and Austria, saws:
We are authorized to state that no new cir
cuTstance justices the rur.ior in question:
Paris, Tuesday Norni,sg.-T The J Constitution
mel, OF this morning, says that it is enabled to
communicate textually the words the Emperor
addressed to NJ. Hubner on New Year day, and
which, when commented on in public, produced
certain agitation. The Emperor said:

ernment are not so good as they were but ]
request you to tell the Emperor that my feelings
for him have net changed
