Phe Austrion Gens d’ Armes in Hungery—The Paris Conferences.—Russicn Diplomatic Policy. Of course your readers have heard of the Ham borg Noes—a newspaper tamons for having very mild and indifferent correspondents. The Vienna earrespondent of that paper particularly writes the most absura gossip which was ever heard of. In exder to give yeu aspecimen of thie man’s, style I wil! quote some lines from one of bis la’ letters, eenecrning the state of afuire in Hungary. He sys this country is governed entirely by gens @armes; bot the Hungarians prefer their former vor. dition, in which they were in danger of being daily webbed by gangs ef highwaymen who infested the country. A Hungarian nobleman told me that he would see his wife murdered, his children taken away from him, and his castle plundered, rather than indicate to the gene d'armes the track of the bandi:ti. We may be #0 credulons as to be Kieve the report of this Vienna correspondent, but what can or does he prove by it! According to may opinion everybody will say—why, this ee! disunt Hergarian nobleman either does not live on the best terms with kis spouse, and therefore was ani- mated by the desire of seeing her murdered, or he is more of a madman than of a nobleman, husband and father. Butto represent this expression of some fool as the generally prevailing opinion of a people, 1s absurd and ridiculous; it looks like an at tempt by the correspondent to *’ ont fool a fool.” Tf @he antigens d’armes correspondent, who seems to write bis articles from behind the desk of some Viesva counting house, would buve the kindness to Toake a trip to those trects of country where he eonld not find, for hundreds of miles, a hut or hovel, nor meet a single buman being, except occa Sionally 2 wandering swineherd, horse stealer, or wand oF gipsies, and such ill-looking and ill-natured eople—then this gentlewan, I dare sey, would be very glad to hear tne clatter of the horses’ hoofs or the clang of the swords of the so much despised gens d’armes who cross those wild regions in order ‘to pursue some robber, or to protect travellers. wother Eurcpean Cor #8 will meet in Paris in about a week. The French Minister, Count Wale wski- will oct as the President of it, We ‘oe thes that Russia is not disinclined to give up her claims to Snake Islands and Bowgrad, but demands an imdem uitication for them; what that imderanification is to he re LPF o8 vet knows, bat as granting the demand would !¢ a Virinal acktiowledgtient of the justice of Raseia’s claims to Bolgrad and the Snake isands, the Austrian as well asthe Noglish and Turkish go vernments will uot do s0; we eves hear that Sar diwia has declared agwinst the Russian pretensions. Thos only Prance, and pervaps Prassia, will side with Russia. 1 if is feared that the conroca- tiou of toby goood Paria oowference 1a a diplomatic tiger on the part of Rassia, in order first—to ‘oblige Austria and England to withdraw their and mer o!-war fom the neighborhood of Rassix | snd secondly, to carry some other hitherto unkiow:. or hidden pointe relative to the restoration of Mas- sian suprewacy in the affuirs of Bi and Asia Concerving we first of these objects, nobody can blame Ravria for wishing to get rid of the Austrian and knglish land and sea constables, who coutinu ally watch and occasionally hinder her movements fm the Caucasus, and slvo her endeavors to regain “Ber maurence in the Danubian prigcipalities and Turkey. £8 1 che second part of the aforesaid designs we rald this Congress bears in it the germs, of age | pacitication, but rather of futare di cord. At ail events the Congsess is a masterly stroke on the part of Russian diplomacy. S The Neapolitan soldier who tried to stab King Bomba in tee belly has been hanged. The Prussian press and Chambers of Deputies are very bellizerent about the Neufehatel affair. The newspapers are fall of worlike demonetrations. and we understand that two (others ray four) corpe d'armée are ready to march into Switzeriand. Hiappily, experience abows that before the last decisive moment there ts uenaily a damper put upon martial ardor. We may, therefore, repeat the words of the holy Boapel, “Pax hominis bone coluntalis,” which in plain Poglish siqnises, “ Peace wil be given to the men whe have the good will not to wage war.” Thus the Germans and Swiss in the United Sates may make their minds easy, and remain in state quo of matoal friendebip as before. There will not be an opportunity for a Blucher on one Ade or an Armold Winkelried on the other, for we are all men of the best will; and, as I said, pence to the menof good will, Amen.

New search for Frankiin, [from the Lonion Times, Dec 16. | On Wednesday evening last a public meeting, at- tended by most of the distinguished Arctic vo) who have Vee hitherto engagedin the search afer =r Jobn Frapklin, was held at Rassell Institute, to consider whether the probabilities of success in con- soqesnee of Dr. Rae's discoveries, were such as to justify a new expedition. Amon; Soe ee were Captain S. Osborne, Captain Inglefield, Lieutenant Pim, Dr. King, Dr. Mr. Seymour, Dal a ar Geerck treeael hards, & ir. Lie in, .e 5 ade. The chairman (Mr. —) having opened the proceedings, called apon Dr. King, one of the pro- jectors of the new expedition, to address the mee'- s ‘br. Kia, after detailing the result of former ex- peditions and accounting for their failure, observed that between the discovery of the traces upon Bee shey Island of the first wintering quarters of Sir dobn Franklin's —_ and the discovery of the ciche on the Great Fish river by Dr. Rae four years had elapsed.

Dr. King was the physician who accompa!

The deep interest all along felt in the search bad so little diminished that he had drawn out a plan for Lig UY up by Regent's Inlet and the Strait of Bellot, to lay before the Admiralty, with the offer of his own services to conduct it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Brown thought that the great error in all the searching expeditions arose from not followingFrank- lin where he was sept. It was quite possible that some of the members of the — expedition might be still living among the Esqnimanx. An expedition going through Lancaster Scand, which was open to the whalers five seasons out of ten, would very likely clear up the whole question. ; Dr. King observed, in reply to a question, thet there was not the slightest fear of the safety of a land party eledging. ‘There were ample means of form ing enebes, and the lakes al dso abundant a copply of fish that two fishermen would be quite able to lay in a store sufficient for 150 men, ae the fish froze almost instantly they came out of the water, they would keep for years.
