OUR PARIS LETTER.

intend sending their representatives to sit round

stands, blothng paper, pens and ink and paper

so much annoyance in Europe, do not think

l have no belief in the pacific intentions
of either Italy or Prussia. If war has not vet
broken out, it is because neither Victor Emanuel
nor Bismark was ready; and if the diplomatists
pretend to be agreed on some points which may
lead TO an understanding on others, it Is l doubt
not, but Tuse de gue7Te to gain time, as such
provinces as Dalmatia and the Tyrol, which the
Italians intend attacking, only comeatable

AN AIR OF PEACE
is, however, waited over the scene, as Mr.
Layard arrived yesterday from London, bring
ing the acceptance OF the British Foreign Office
of the Congress programme. 1t appears that
Russia has also adhered to the proposal; and
that Prussia, Austria, and Italy will not dare
refuse to accept the invitation to send repre-
sentatlves.
Therefore there is to be quiet talk, to see if
things cannot be amicably settled without Whit.
worths, Armstrong;, and MINES; but no peace
is possible without Austria giving up Venetia,
There seems to be an evident desire on the
part of the Italians to have a slap at Aus
tria's quadrlateral, as $1,000 volunteers were de-
manded, and more than 60, 900 have offered their
services to the champion of Italy, Garlbald
The Government will not be able to stop the
ardor of young Italy, and should any attempt
be made to stop it revolution would be the

INCREDUIITY IN ITALY.
My private correspondence from Italy tells me
that there is no belief in the efficacy of Con-
gress in the peninsula as they are aware that
there is as much enthusiasm in the States of
Franz Joseph as in those OF Victor Emanuel,
and the Germans will never give up Venetia
unless obliged to do so by force.
BEHIND THE SCENES.
Those who are initiated in the secrets of the
diplomatic world assert that even were the Ger
manhattan difficulty set aside there would be
some difficulty in settling the Oriental question,
which has again appeared in the horizon.
THE NEW HosPoDAR,
the elect of the people of the Moldo-Walla-
chian provinces, Prince Charles Hohenzollern,
has betaken himself to Bucharest, notwith-
standing the protestations of those powers
which signed the Convention Of 1868. The
young Prussian prince was received with enthu-
siasm. Turkey, urged on by Prussia, has de-
termined to prevent ACCOMPLISHMENTS
from succeeding Prince Couza. 1t is therefore,
more than likely that this Modo-Wa alachian
question will be very hard nut to crack by
the dipomatists, who have already enough on
their hands.
The Memorial DiplOmatiQue was quite right in
calling our attention to the attitude of Prussia
on the banks OF the Danube, and prophesying
that the first cannon shot would inevitably wake
up the question Gortem from its uneasy slum-
bers. But enough of politics; for, to tell the
truth, there is no longer any kind of policy.
The financial crisis, the consequence of the
political state of Europe, has not much affected
our city. The only remarkable circumstance in
the money world is the ROBBERY of three mil
lions of francs by the cashier of the "Sous
Compton des Chemins de Fer" The delinquent,
whose conscience gave him no rest, gave him
self up to justice. What adds a greater interest
to this sad affair, are the motives which
prompted the unfortunate man to commit SO
reprehensiblc a deed. The following is the
account he gave when brought before the ma
gistrates:-
You have, no doubt heard of Prince Crouzy-
to the Hungarian throne. He is no sham
the sum of three millions from the ex-reigning
Duke of Modena.
1t appears that this sum was deposited by his
Highness in the Compton des Chemins de Fer,n
and that the Cashier OF the company, Monsieur
--, in the expectation of becoming Prime
Minister of the eventual King OF the Magyars,
Crouzy had taken the money and spent
it, in order to buy over partlsans for his sove-
reign. We hear the culprit is now at the prison
of Mazas, and will shortly be brought to trial.
He will have to stand in the same dock where
another monarch had to appear mean Orelie
!, King of Araucanla.
KICK-UP AT THE RACES.
Low-ived manners are, we are sorry to say,
getting quite the thing in upper circles. Ladies
now dress much after the fashion of a class of
females that decency forbds me to name; and
the gentlemen of the present day seem to have
taken the groom and The hostler as their models in
dress and in manners. We had proof of this few
days ago at the races of La MdTobe, where several
sO.called gentlemen, having quarrelled about
some bet on the horse "L'Africane," settled the
matter after the fashion of Heenan and Tom
Sayers Several of these gentlemen" returned
home in pititul state, and we hear that there
has been great demand for "poOr mans plais
teri and opOdeldoo in the neighborhood of the
boulevard des ltalcns."
THE EXHIBITION of 1867
will take place, even should we have Euro
pean war.
