LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The Mats of this day says:

'" We believe we are ibis to state with some oar-
tsinty, that England, in entering the Conference,
distinctly declare that she will conform to the deci-
sion of the majority, whatever that decision may be.
The relative position of the dimpstants is no secret;
oa one side, Frames, Rosa* and Prussia; on the
other, Ragland, Austria, and Turkey; in the middle,
Sardinia, which, coinciding originally with the
opinion expressed by Francs, is now, it is said,
oscillating between the two."

The Bourse opened with some animation,-bet
prices soon gave way. It was feared that the Bank
of France will not decide to-morrow to discount bills
with 90 days to run. It was also said that the
increase in the bullion proceeds entirely from pur-
chases of the precious metals from abroad, and not
from any natural tendency to improvement. There
were also sinister reports afloat as to the state of
affairs at Naples--some people saying that the King
of Naples was dead, although it is doubtful, accord-
ing to some despatches, whether he is even wounded.
The Bente fell 100. both for Gash and account,
closing at 1371 k. 700. and 68fr. Mobilise fell 16fr.
Railways were better supported than the Rents, and
most of the lines closed from 21k. 600. to Mr. higher.
The Council General of Bridges and Highways
has adopted the plan submitted by the principal
engineer of the Buses Pyrenees for making Bayonne
a sea port. The works on both banks of the Adorer
will be commenced immediately.

THE TWO SICILIES.

NAPLES, Dia. 4.

We have no fresh intelligence from Sicily, the
wind having blown a hurricane, even the Sunday
mails having been retarded until to-day. The
following additional particulars have, however,
been given to ON of an &gouge which either was or is.
Coeicons was one of several places where it broke out,
and the 7th battalion of Cacciatori had been sent
against it from Palermo. Meanwhile the steamers in
port here, instead of being disarmed for the winter,
have been fully coaled and provisioned, and have
orders to be in readiness at two hours' notice. The
disturbances seem to have taken the form of a guerilla
warfare, having broken out almost simultaneously in
varions parts. Thus proprietaire, called Bentivegna,
and an advocate, of the name of De Marco, leaving
Palermo, commenced a movement at Megrogurio, a
place about twenty miles distant. The Baron Auto
seems to have headed a movement in another direc-
tion. He wu well known in Palermo, and has, I
believe, been recently pardoned for some of-
fence,—but until justice be done in this country,
the Two Sidles will be a „foyer de revolu-
tion," and every amnestied person a nu-
cleus of discontent. Certain emigrants, too, have
landed on parts of the coast, and have thus added
fuel to the fire. As a consequence, troops hays been
dispatched to the seat of disturbance. On the 28th
of November 800 soldiers were sent from Palermo
by sea, a battalion of Cacciatori having previously
been pent by land. Letters from military men, or
from members of their families, say, "All the (awl-
lies of officers have left or are leaving for terra
firma. I am thinking of doing the same
thing, and shall leave for Naples with my
father by the first steamer." Another letter says :
"Now that I am writing to you, the let battalion
of the 7th Caociatori is leaving, and the Ist battalion
of the line for Palermo. The Bth regiment has left
Oirgenti, and perhaps also the 13th of the line. The
fleet I. about to leave. From some other point I will
writ* to you." At Villa Prati h►d arrived the 7th
battalion of the Cacciatori, and half a squadron of
cavalry, without having been able to effect any ope-
ration. " Armed bands traversed several communes

without shedding blood, and distributed tricoloured
cockades. The polies of Palermo had made nu-
merous arrests of person■ of all ranks.
During the night patrols of troops, of gen.
dames and policemen traverse the suburb.,
questioning every one with whom they meet.
The city is tranquil, and the theatres ars open
and frequented." Such is the amount of information
which I have to commusicate—it does not come
down later than lut Sunday. Numerous reports are
flying about, but I do not give them credit, as I can-
not asoutain the foundation for them. So many days
have elapsed since we heard from Sicily, that the
emerde may have been put down, or it may have
made considerable bead.

His Majesty is still in Naples, and will probably
remain here until after Dec. 8. The effect of his re-
sidence here has been to crowd the city with
gendarmes and policemen. No acts of violence ur
illegality, as far is I can hear, are committed in
Naples, where the greatest tranquillity exists, and
will continue to do so. Signor Bianchini exercises
the best inflames in the capital, but beyond it I fear
that the same excesses as ever are committed in the
provinces.
On the 17th November the Capri, Neapolitan
steamer, was discovered to be on fire. The captain and
onions of the Lombardo steamer (Sardinian) there-
upon boarded her and extinguished the fire. The
captain of the Lombardo is called Dodero. The
French steamer, doe last Sunday, Nov. 30, not yet in—
Deo. 3. She has met with some accident and has
put into Nice. The Neapolitan boats from Her-
mitics are said to be much superior to the French
boats in speed, safety, and machinery.
