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•
sell gives the following account of the opinions
entertained by the Sardinian Cabinet on the ques-
tion of Bolgrad

" 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 Bnlgrad. Count Cavour admits
that the text of Art. 20 of the treaty of peace is in
favour of Russia, but he gives it as his opinion that
the spirit of the article, and the 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 bo examined by the con-
, gress."

A letter from Galatz, in the New Prussian
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 year."

The Czgs 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 here were
divided into two parties, one of which recom-
mended the adhesion of the Austrian Cabinet to
the convocation of the congress, whilst the second
objected with obstinacy to that course, which
certainly is the only means 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 Oesterraichische Zeitung attributes
the murderous attempt on the King to the
" Mazzinists," but in the adjoining 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 is
considered likely, and the latter look forward to
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, re-inforced ; 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, is connec-
tion with the refusal of the Swiss Federal Council
to accede to the joint demands of so many Powers
for the liberation of the prisoners.

The Paris Pairie of this evening says that the
Ambassador of Turkey at Paris, Mthemet-
Djemil-B y, will no doubt represent the Sultan
at the Conferences of Paris.

The trial of the royalist rebels of Neuchatel
will probably commence early in January.
