The APPROACHING CONFERENCE AT PARGs.-.Ihe
difficulties pending between Prussia and Swift
erland, and the war between Persia and Grent
Britain continue to be the main items OF interest
No day has yet been fixed for the re-assembiing
of the Congress at Paris. Some preliminary
business is yet to get through with but ii is
anticipated the day of the meeting is not far
distant. A preliminary meeting will probably
nc held within Il few days. \ statement is made
in the London Times that England and France
arc now agreed ON the points of discussion with
Russia. No topics are TO be introduced but
those relating to Balgrad and the Isle of SerpcntS.
All the pleiipotcntiaries including the Turkish
Minister, have received their instructions.
Prussia continues her preparations for the IN
Iasion of Switzerland, aud the latter for n de-
fence, but there exists belief that the powers
will prevent actual hoStiitics.
1t is rumored that England has agreed to me-
date between Prussia and Switzerland, but the
report is doubtful
1t is stated the negotiations between the Brit
iSh minister Mt Comstantinople, and the Persian
envoy have hcen broken off. The latter is pro-
ceeding to Paris, and in the meantime has re-
quested further instruction from his government
Great Britain demands the evacuation of He
rat, and the payment of expenses, the dismissal
of the Persian prime minister, and the establish
ment of British conSulates in various places.
Persia is reported to have asscntcd TO the re-
turn of Mr.. Murray; the English minister, to
restore lIerat, and to compensate its citizens
for damages, but the other points are abreance.
Nothing later has been received in relation to
the progress uf hOstilites.

Ferart Kuhn, the Persian envoy, was tOlcave
COnstantinope for Paris the next day.
The negotiations with Lord ShItfOrd Redcitf
having failed, Rrdschid Pacha has recommend
ed Persia to yield to England
We have contradictory rumorS respecting the
position of England ON the Neuichatel question.
One has it that England has always supported
tie claims of Prussia.
Another says that that support has been Off
cred only lately and that the Swiss authorities
could not sufficiently express their astoniSh-
ncnt at the change in the language of the Eng
'ish representatives. at Bernie a third report
announces proposal of the United State for "a
collective mediation A fourth rumor says that
England has simply offered mediation that
switzerland has refused and accepted that OF
1t is stated that a commission composed of
several officers had been sent from the Russian
head quarters to visit Mazanderan, province of
Persia adjoining the Caspian Sea, in order to
rrconnOtre the various passages for troops and
draw typographical plans.
1t appears that in the event Of serious hostil-
tiles taking place between England and Persia,
Mazandiran will be very important strategic
point Troops will be concentrated in this pro-
vince and the detiles Of the Caspian gates and
that of Homes will be strongly guarded The
subsistence OF the instructions received by the
Peace Congress are, viz: That Balgrad and the
Isle of Serpents will be relinquiShed to Russia
that full and complete lultilment of the treaty
of Paris for the organization of the Danubian
principaIitieS be required, and also the earliest
possible settlement of the Turco Russian from
tiers aud Asia.
