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 question 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 interrupted 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 suppress 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 Brussels, in reference to the approaching conferences, says :—" The high official regions here were divided into two parties, one of which recommended 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 Emperor 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 despatched by the Prussian Cabinet to the various participators in the London Protocol, is connection 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, MthemetDjemil-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.
