has already declared in the MOniteW her satlsfac-

palities has taken. AS to Russia, it is selevident
that the Gar will employ all his moral influence in
backing the union Of the Principalites while the
Treaty Of Paris forbids any occupation OF those
provinces except with the consent of all the con.
tractDg powers. 1t seems, indeed, as if the odsHs

Emanuel, might be found in this new eastern COM

Danilo, Mosch and Couza will soon combine their
policy according to the instructions from the wire
pullers at Paris and ST. Petersburg and the State
OF Europe will continue feverish until the time
comes when the sword will have 70 cut the GOTdian
knot. Meanwhile, preparations for war continue in
France on grand scale, in spite of the pacific
speech with which the Count de Morny opened the
Legislative Assembly. Lord Malmesbury men
toned yesterday the probability of new meeting
of the Paris Conferences, in consequence of the
election of COuzs but such meeting cannot lead
10 any desirable solution, since, in respect to this
point, France and Russia are entirely at variance
with Austria and Turkey
