TRIESTE, Ocr. 31.

Letters from Constantinople, of the 26th of
October, state that, in reply to a question put by
M. do Boutenieff, Admiral Lyons had declared
that the English fleet would remain in the Black
Sea until the fulfilment of the Treaty of Paris.
The same despatch says that Rus3ia has ex-
empted Persia from the payment of the indemnity
for tho war of 1827.

The Paris correspondent of the Post (s3cond
edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :
" News from Constantinople is expected here
with much anxiety. It is well known that Rus-
sia is using every description of intrigue with
those who surround the Sultan to obtain from
his Highness a demand for the evacuation of the
Principalities, and the withdrawal of the Eng-
lish scprdron from the Black Sea. It remains
yet to be seen if Lord Stratford de Redcliffe
will carry his point, and awaken the Sultan
to his own interests. I hear the latest de-
spatches from her Majesty's Ambassador at Con-
stantinople are more assuring ; but a consider-
able amount of pressure continued to be exercised
to oppose the policy of England. At all events,
Admiral Lyons has very positive orders, I hear,
what to do under every possible difficulty, and he
is not likely to fail in carrying out his instruc-
tions. It is possible that despatches have left
Paris from the French Government. for Constan-
tinople, which will lead to favourable results as
regards a more active determination on the part
of our ally to oarry out the treaty of Paris."

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says

" The cannon of the allies have remained silent
before the laz4aroni of Naples, and France and
England have bowed before the Neapolitan
Pulcinello 1 So much for present impressions.
" A Neapolitan letter, of the 26th, says :

" We are all inclined to be rather ashamed of
the sorry appearance we are making, seeing that
the Legations are to skulk away as fast as they
can, not only without the honour of a vessel
of war to take them, but without any particular
conveyance, so that the final exit will probably be
made not in a body, but according to the fancy
of individual groups. Failure, then, has attended
this affair, that is certain ; but where the fault is
I do not and cannot say ; and the King of
Naples thinks himself perfectly justified in
singing a song of triumph. I do not think
that Lord Palmerston deserves half that has from
time to time been said about him ; but it would
be wiser not to have retraced again so soon in
Naples the false step taken in Italian politics, or
said to be taken, a few years ago. He will hardly
ever get over the Minto mission ; and then again
it was reported here, and believed by a good
many, that he approved, or at least did not
disapprove, the Murat intrigue. I do not
vouch for the truth of the statement, but I
affirm that the general impression on the minds
of the multitude was, that the allies, one or
both, were dabbling in low intrigues quite un-
worthy of the principles laid down in their ostens-
ible demand% It is also believed that projects
were going on during the summer tending not
merely to subvert the present dynasty, but to
place Prince Murat on the throne, and to give
Sicily to the Piedmontsse.' The writer then
expresses his belief that the Emperor Napoleon
does not sanction the Murat intrigues. As for
Piedmont it would in all likelihood be her ruin if
her name were associated with anything of the
kind. In sober sense and honesty,' con-
tinues the letter, would it not be a pre-
mature attempt at a scheme which may
never even in future ages be realised I Would
it not to be a lowering of Englaras high posi-
tion at present to throw out grappling irons over
the southern States ? It would be infinitely
better for all parties to have a sincere and inde-
pendent ally in Naples and Sicily than a discon-
tented and unnatural connection with hostile
States between the northern and southern pos-
sessions. Discontented they undoubtedly would
be, because, whatever sympathy they may justly
feel for the Piedmontese, they have no notion
whatever to abdicate in their favour their own
independent existence as a nation. I will not
take the trouble of detailing to you all that is
said of the intrigues alleged to have been going
on. Whatever be the truth, see the immediate
results. According to the German papers the
King of Naples is about to request the Congress
to guarantee the integrity of his possessions.
What a slap in the face, in addition to all the
rest V

FRAME*
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
Public attention is much attracted by the speech
of the King of Sweden at the opening of the Diet.
It is even with a little surprise that some persons
have read that speech, as they observe that it differs
a little from that which King • Oscar delivered on
previous similar occasions. Those who are ac-
quainted with the interest that the King when
Prince Royal always felt in favour of ideas of pro-
gress and enlightenment, and who remember his
first speech at the Diet of 1844, will recognise
the same leading thoughts, and which is not the
less noble and elevated that it is the expression of
State necessity as of the heart. The Journal dcs
Darats of to-day has a long article on the Saadi-
navian question ; it is the first time that the French
press treats a question which may before long be
destined to occupy the attention of the Cabinets
of Europe. If, as the Debats says, and there is
reason to believe the fact, the speeches which
were pronounced during the last visit of the
Prince Royal of Sweden, Viceroy of Norway, to
Copenhagen, excited hopes which had reposed in
every heart, it is certain that these wishes will be
listened to, and that the will of the three Scandi-
n avian nations will not be disregarded by the rest
of Europe. A distinguished member of the S wedish
Diet observed, same time since, with much truth,
that the rank of States does not always depend on
their extent, or on the numbers of their popula-
tion, but rather on their moral and material con-
dition and their social and political organisation.
