SWITZERLAND,

Intelligence from Berne, dated Nov. 22, states
that Count Bismark officially denies the statement
that Switzerland has been compromised by any
letters found in captured balloons.

THE TREATY OF 1856.
BERLIN, November 22 (11.65 a.m.)

The Moscow Press declines to repeat the confi-
dent language of the St. Petersburg journals respect-
ing the Black Sea question. The Moscow Gazette inti-
mates that, instead of announcing the intention to
form a southern fleet, the Government would
have done better to say nothing, and procure ships.
The Moscow .Daily News is convinced that Prince
Gortschalcoff is sensible enough to have secured the
consent of the Powers before writing his Note, and
that there is no real ground for the consternation of
the Russian Exchanges.

VIENNA, November 22 (8 p.m.)

From Constantinople information comes that
Turkey wishes to avoid a conflict with Russia, and
desires that the signatories of the Paris Treaties
should consider the demands preferred in Prince
Gortchakoll's Circular.

The Prase supports the judgment of the Nord is
affirming that Lord Granville's reply to the Circular
only affects the principle involved, and does not
threaten the continuance of peace.
Aali Pacha is said to have proposed a modification
of the Treaties three months ago.

In Vienna the opinion gains ground that the
original suggestion of England—to open the Black
Sea to the war ships of all nations—will ultimately

prevail.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 22.
In reply to a congratulatory address presented on
the occasion of the Lithuanian regiment celebrating its
anniversary, the Emperor said I hope there will
not be war. Should, however, Providence will it, I
am confident that the Lithuanian regiment will give
fresh proofs of its devotion."

La Liberte, of Nov. 20, publishes a despatch
from London, dated Nov. 17, which says : ' The
English Foreign Office, the Austrian Cabinet, and
the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after per-
mitting a Mhenzollern to plant himself in the
the Valley of the Danube as an advanced Prusso-
Russian sentinel, permitted the Pacha of Egypt
to carry his title of Khedive all over Europe, and
to go the year before last to St. Petersburg to
negotiate a secret treaty, kept secret only from those
Cabinets which were interested in the non-existence
of such a treaty—that is to say, the Tuileries, St.
James's, and Schocnbrunn. It is fortunate that
the Porte, permitting itself neither to be corrupted
by the gold of the Viceroy, nor intimidated by
he extravagances of the extravagant voyage of
the Empress Eugenie, took from Ismail Pacha the
ironclads and a certain quantity of cannon and rifles
which the latter had procured, with the culpable
permission of Napoleon 111., and upon the instruc-
tions which he received from Berlin and St. Peters-
burg through the agency of Nubar Pacha, It
cannot reasonably be doubted that the Paella of
Egypt will cause serious embarrassment to his
Sovereign the Sultan and the Sultan's allies, in case
of a war of Western Europe and Austro-Hungary
with Russia and Prussia. Consequently, the ques-
tion of sending several vessels of war into Egyptian
waters is mooted."

Earl Granville arrived in London on Monday night
from Walmer Castle.

A very interesting divorce suit is now pending
before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The plaintiff,
Mrs. Mary 14. Jones, ilex Sweeny, claims her discharge
from the duties and obligations of matrimony on the
ground that the defendant had represented himself tobe a
resident of Bemot's Island, whose wealth could be counted
by hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that having
consented to be his in that belief, and with that under-
stAnding, she looked upon the marriage as null and void,
when she found that he was no more than a pretentious
gardener, whose only property consisted in a well-stocked
cabbage-garden, an orchard and a cottage.
