TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(murex's rezzosaus.)
THE MINOR TAXPEDITION IN CONK&
PARIS, Dec. 213.
The Afoniteur du Soir, in its bulletin, says that
later intelligence from Cores, via Shanghai, on the
Gth November, announces that the negotiations
between the government of Corea and the French
Admiral Rose had taken a most favourable turn.
The Patric of this evening says :—" We have
reason to believe that the Turkish ambassador,
Djemil communicated yesterday to the
Marquis de Mollifier the contents of a note recently
addressed to Athens by the Ottoman government."
intelligence received here from Vera Cruz, dated
the 28th inst., states that the commander of the
Austrian frigate Dandolo, which had returned
from Orizaba, brought news to the effect that the
voyage of the Emperor Maximilian to Europe had
been indefinitely postponed.
The France of this evening, alluding to the
resolution taken by the Emperor Maximilian to
defend 143 throne with the support of the clerical
party, says that in no case will the French govern-
ment reconsider the orders given for completing
the evacuation of Mexico by the let March.
The same journal says :—" The cabinet of
Madrid have resolved to come to the aid of the
Spanish railway companies. The contribution of
10 per cent. on the number of fares which the com-
panies have hitherto had to pay has been
abolished. A bill fixing the amount of the aid to
be granted to them will be presented to the Cortes
next session."

BELGIUM AND THE NETHERLANDS.
THE HAGUE, Dec. 28
A debate took place in the Upper Chamber to-
day upon the question of the Scheldt. Several
mambos supported tit* is
taken by the
government in this matter. The Ministry stated
i that they had fully maintained the rights of the
Netherlands, which could not accede to the unjust
requirements of Belgium. Neither was the latter
State entitled to alone demand arbitration in the
, question. The subsequent investigations, even
lof Belgian engineers, proved that the Dutch
government had accurately stated the facts. The
' proposed embankment would, the Ministry stated,
\be advantageous even for the Western Scheldt
from Bath to Antwerp.
