OF the obs'inacy OF the King of Prussia, il seem

Arrangement of the BoIgrad Dimc uIty.
lPsris (Dec. 2s) Correspondence Of Londoo ii mes
Inentioned some weeks since that, with view
to effect On arrangement Of the Russian question -
the satisfaction of all the Powers who were repre-
sented at the Paris Conferences, 1t had been pro
posed by the French government that Russia should
abandon her claim TO the Bolgrad situate OF
Leke Yalpuk, and which communicate with the
Danube or condition OF the cesson of q certain
portion OF territory in Bessarabia where che might
establish the centre Of her Bulgarian population,
and that this proposition was rejected by the English
government. Ii Is now sajd that, after good deal
OF u. gotiation, the principle has been accepted
not, boweyer, as q compensation for Bograd, the
Russian claim to which was invariably declared g.
he nnounded but in return for the Isle Of Serpents
BY this arrangement Russia will be debarred
nom all contact with the Danube, and the ques.
ion Of the navigation Of that stream satisfactorily
settled.
1t is further stated that draught OF the Protocol
ss agreed to by the Powers has been for ~arded t.
st. Petersburg, and hat the Conferences viii open
as coon as the answer OF the Russian Government is
received II Is not anticipated, however, that any
difficulty will be raised, Russia Is already aware Of
the manner In which it is proposed to settle this
question.
The Nord sffirms that the question Of Bograd l.
arranged, and that the governments have now only
to come 10 an understanding as 70 the compensation
TO be given TO Russia AL questions, therefore will
be settled previous 10 the commencement of the Con
ierencee and the Plenpotentiaries will have merely
TO sanction the decision OF the Cabinets aid u
arrange some matters OF detail. The Nord aida,
that no date yet fixed for the commencement OF
the Conferences but that the delay Is no. caused by
spy fresh difficulties had been reported. The re
suit of the arrb cement agreed on viii be, according
TO the sane authority, that the British fleet will qnis
the Black Sea, and the Austrian troops will a,ate
the Danubian provinces
