TRIESTE, DEC. 11.

Intelligence from Constantinople of the sth
announces that the English vessels of war engaged
in watching the Isle of Serpents will winter in the
Delta of the Danube. Six. English vessels of war
had approached Ormus, in the Persian Gulf. The
heir to the throne of Persia is dead'.

The Paris correspondent of the Nord of Brus-
sels gives the following account of the opinions
entertained by the Sardinian Cabinet on the ques-
tion of Bo!grad :

" A document will shortly be published by the
Turin journals in the shape of a note drawn up by
Count Cavour, in reply to a note of Russia, which
had requested Sardinia to give her opinion both
with respect to the advisability of recommencing
the conference, and to the questions of the Island
of Serpents and of Bolgrad. Count Cavour admits
that the text of Art. 20 of the treatf of peace is in
favour of Russia, but he gives it as his opinion that
the spirit of the article, and tha intention of the
plenipotentiaries were to remove Russia from the
lower Danube, and consequently to deprive her of the
Bolgrad which she wishes to preserve. It is exactly
this point which is to be examined by the con-
gress."

A letter from Galatz, in the New Prus,sian
Gazette, says The commission of the Danube
is, it is said, of opinion to give the preference to
the Kilia mouth, the channel of which is not in-
terrupted by obstacles, and does not require any
improvements, like those of Sulina and St. George.
It appears that it will cost less to remove the bar
which is off the mouth of the Kilia than to sup-
press those of the other mouths. A violent shock
of earthquake was felt here yesterday afternoon.
This is the second this yt,ar.,,

The Czas of Cracow reproduces the statement
made during the war, that St. Petersburg is
about to be fortified, Then, as now, Generals
Behm and Todleben were named as having been
charged with the execution of the project.
A Vienna correspondent of the .Nord of Brus-
sels, in reference to the approaching conferences,
says :—" The high official regions hero were
divided into two partie4, one of which recom-
mended the adhesion of the Austrian Cabinet to
the convocation of the congress, whilst the second
objected with obstinacy tr) that course, which
certainly is the only meals of solving present
difficulties. An autograph letter from the Em-
peror of the French put an end to the hesitation
of our Cabinet, and the Emperor Francis Joseph
on receiving it at once entered into the views of
his august ally."

In a leader in its number of this morning
(Dec. 10), the Oesterreichische Zeitung attributes
the murderous attempt on the King to the
" Mazzinists," but in the adjohling column we
find the following remarkable passage, which is
contained in a letter written by a Conservative
Turin correspondent on the sth inst. Naples
is said to be in a state of extreme excitement,
and a spirit of insubordination and mutiny is
believed to prevail in the Neapolitan army A
collision between the native troops and Swiss
considered likely, and the latter look forward to is
it with sombre resolution."

In political circles in Paris it is said that the
Russian flotilla in the Caspian Sea has been, or is
to be, reinforced ; and that there is likely to be
a movement of troops in Bessarabia, probably
with a view to Austria.

A note has within the last few days been de-
spatched by the Prussian Cabinet to the various
participators in the London Protocol, in connec-
tion with the refusal of the Swiss Federal CoLuca
to accede to the joint demands of so many Powers
for the liberation of the prisoners.

The Paris Patric of this evening says that the
Ambassador of Turkey at Paris, Mehemet_
Djemil-B y, will no doubt represent the ,suitan
at the Conferences of Paris.

The trial of the royalist rebels of Neuc!iate
will probably commence early in January.
