PARIS, MONDAY EVENING._  I hear that several refugees—who would gladly avail themselves of the amnesty if they were quite sure that they might reside in France on precisely the same footing as other citizens—hesitate to come back on account of doubts entertained about the construction of the Law of Public Safety. There is a question about it in many minds, and the difficulty is not met by reiterated 'martian that the amnesty is "full and entire."  The Bourse continues in a languid state. The Rents fell 10c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 76c. and 68fr. 86c. It had been quoted lower—at 68fr. 70c. and 68fr. 65c. Mobilier rose 2fr. 60c. In railway shares there were very few prices made; nominal quotations are rather lower. M. Dolma, a well-known agent de change, wee found drowned in the Seine on Saturday lest, near the Asnieres bridge. As his watch and a rum of 600 fr. were found upon his person, it is not likely that ha should have been assassinated, and u his affairs were in a flourishing condition, and he leaves a fortune of a million of francs, the idea of a suicide is also almost excluded. Some accident, yet unexplained, probably led to his death.  The news of a ministerial modification at Vienna has produced a great sensation. but it is not thought very promising. M. Goluchowski, the new Minister of the Interior, is a decided ultramontanist. M. de Hubner, the lets ambassador at Paris, who now becomes Minister of Police, is notoriously a creature of the Jesuits. The reforms to come from each hands are likely to be small. The Petrie, contradicting a paragraph which has been going the rounds of the French papers for the last two or three days, states that the Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany has not gone to Vienna ; he is still in Paris, and the day of his departure is not yet fixed. The St. Maar camp is entirely broken up; not a single tent remains on the plain, and General Sonmain, who commanded it, has returned to his residence in the Place Vend6me.  It is rumoured that the state is about to bring an action against a private individual for the restitution of Cardinal Richelieu's head, which was cut off when the mob broke into the chapel of the Sorbonne at the time of the great revolution, and has hitherto been kept as an heirloom in the family of a deputy, into whose hands it fell.  The following is the most striking passage of an article in the Patris upon the necessity of a European congress : Sordid& Dad •nutria, than, ars incompatible at Zurich. Their plotipmentlartm drsady decline direct communication idolise& other; they only communicate through the =edit= of the Prated representative. So, before an ■greunent could have bets oome to, they won't even listen say longer to each other. This is a situation that greatly impales a manual understaading. France, It la true, does all she can to allay this antagonism. She arbitrates with an authority equal to her wisdom. She brings to the negotiations a sprit of business that undoubtedly would succeed were it nut confronted by the obstinate resistance of Austria.  Great, however, se is the conciliatory disposition of France, she nevertheites cannot go to such a length u to yield to Austria what she cannot abandon, and whit she has the right to consider u the fruit of her victories. France wishes Italy to be independent ; Austria does not  lfreracs- t wishes the confederation to be Italie* ; Auntie triable it to be Austrian.  Prams wia;.tiTiop. to udate his power by prudent reforms; Austria wishes the Pope to natant subject to Influences entlpsthatio to the French mind. France deserts that the Deka of Tuscany and Modena may be able loyally to become reconciled with their peoples ; Austria desires to impose them by foroe. France wants the fortresses of the quadrangle to be oocupled by a federal army; Austria wants theirs fortresses to be occupied as barracks by her army, that thin may remain as • ;nemesia moan itgainat the independence of 'hay. Notwithstanding her spirit of generous and wise comtala. tint, we greatly fear that France herself will be unable to Garry out her arbitration between Austria and Piedmont.  loiturse mut be had, than, to another judadtodos.

Vo7all these reasons, the Italian question in short, se it appears to us, can only be settled by a European congress. Ti. sword 01 France has cut through the treat* that consecrated the domain of Austria in the Stales of the Penicaula. It ta to the authority of Europe that it appertains to complete the work.
