LATEST NEWS.

BERLIN, SATURDAY.

The Zeit says that Prussia will, indeed would
rather, relinquish her rights over Neuchatel, pro-
vided an honourable retreat were opened to her
by the enlargement of the political prisoners. If
the contrary position should be persisted in
Prussia will act decisively.

MARSEILLES, FRIDAY.

The Presse d'Orlent of the lith announces that
a strong Russian corps was advancing through
Bessarabia towards the Black Sea.

Lord Stratford had furnished explanations to
M. do Boutenieff relative to the recent affair at
Yenikale.

Seven English vessels of war were expected to
arrive from Malta.

The Italians, resident in the East, have opened
a subscription, which was going on with activity,
for the purpose of purchasing 10,000 rifles, to be
placed at the disposal of M. Manin, for the use of
the first Italian province that should revolt against
Austria.

From Constantinople we learn that the besieg-
ing force before Herat had concentrated itself
around the place, and was awaiting reinforce•

monarchical papers of Paris—' It is you who envenom
the dispute ; who exaggerate the slightest incidents
that are of a nature to disturb the good relations of
the two countries ; but you will not be successful. The
Anglo-French alliance reposes on principles with which
you are not familiar ; it protects the most elevated inte-
rests, and your more or less perfidious insinuations will
not succ -ect iu severing it. It is not known by an official
note that the difficulties which are encountered in the
execution of the treaty, which you daily exaggerate,
depend on points of a secondary importance. With
respect to the Neapolitan question, the dismissal of the
ambassador is a significant step, and openly proves the
continuation of the alliance. The latter will resist the
vain efforts which you daily repeat with the view of
exciting one nation against the other, and in order to
occasion a coolness between the two Cabinets. It will
even resist certain diplomatic proceedings which have
awakened public attention. You believe that the Mi-
nistry of Lord Palmerston is shaken. Wait for the ap-
proaching session, and you will see the majority which
the Premier will obtain when the question of the execu-
tion of the treaties will be laid before Parliament.' "

An article appears in the Constitutionnel relative
to the question of Neuchatel. It counsels the
Swiss Confederation to accede to the release of the
prisoners, and it expresses the conviction that
Prussia will not then refuse to negotiate with a
view to the abandonment of her pretensions to
sovereignty over the canton. It admits the mode-
ration of Prussia, and while admitting her right
of adopting measures of coercion, it expresses the
hope that such measures will not be had recourse

to.
Some Russian officers belonging to the squadrori
at Cherbourg have been for the last few days in
Paris, and yesterday visited the Hotel des Inva-
lides, where they spent several hours and appeared
much pleased at the reception given them by the
staff and all the inmates. As several of the old
soldiers had taken part in the campaign of the first
Empire in,Russia, the officers entered into conver-
sation with them on the incidents of that period.

STATE OF NAPLES.
NAPLES, Nov. 20.
The city still remains perfectly tranquil, as might
have been expected, though every now and then,
judging from an increased number of guards, some
alarm is felt by the government. A report aired'
lates among the Royalist party that France is to
occupy Naples, and England Sicily. Great cour-
tesies have been exchanged between the authors"
ties and the British steamer now in port, as
between persons not on the most loving tern*
who are bowing to one another all the more pro-
foundly.
A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says :1
" When the Marquis d'Antonini was acquainte'
by the French Government that his passports well
at his service, he it appears sent his first secretary'
M. de Cito, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1°
order to give in the names of the persons comp if
ing his suite, and to receive their passports, 1'
handed to him, but on no account to ask for thero;
Some evenings after the passports were sent is
him, and at the same time M. d'Antonini
politely informed that he could remain in Paris a;
long as he pleased. In acknowledging the receipt
of the passports the marquis expressed his regre...
at being unable, in consequence of their tra..?:
mission, to profit by the permission which the "u_3
vernment had given him to remain in Paris so 'of
to avail himself of any favourable opportunitY,,,,
guiding the relations of the two countries into 115
direction desired by King Ferdinand. The marques
will leave behind him most agreeable reminiscences
both in his private and diplomatic capacity.

MONEY MARKET

COT-3M3IIROLA.L

Two ,I'CLo,

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed
steadily, without alteration in prices. The sales
were estimated at 6,000 hales. The Railway Share
Market closed tirmly, at an improvement in quota-
tions generally.
The Bank of England Return, completed for the
Week ending last Saturday, is exceedingly favour-
able, the reserve of notes has been largely aug-
mented, and the bullion has received an addition
of upwards of 200,000. As it is believed that
400,0001. to 450,0001. of the Australian arrivals
have gone into the national establishment, the
stock of the precious metals must now reach
nearly ten millions and a quarter. The next re-
turn therefore will probably be still more satisfac-
tory, and if the position of the institution continues
to improve an early reduction in the minimum
terms of discount may be expected. Yesterday
there was an a3tive inquiry for money, but this is
attributable to the settlements on the Stock Ex-
change, and to preparations for the bills which will
become due on the "fourth" proximo.

The follow* table exhibits the principal items
in the Bank Return, and the alterations they pre-
sent when compared with the previous balance-
