A letter from Varna, of the 10th, in the Lloyd of Vienna, says :—" Two commissioners of the Porte and two agents of the English and French legations arrived here in the night.

Upon this occasion, the troopers of a half-squadron of Krim Tartar Guards took a picket of English Dragoon Guards. No particular movement was observed on the part of the enemy. Up to the sth they had not attempted anything against Sebastopol." A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the Post Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" The most important of the secondary states of Germany, Bavaria, has replied affirmatively to the principal of the seven questions submitted by Austria to the Diet, which is that which decides all the others. The question is this :—ls it for the interest of the Germania Confederation to declare itself obliged to defend Austria against any danger which may menace her in her present position." A letter from Rome, in the Parlament° of Turin of the 20th, states that some French -troops have left Rome for Civita-Vecchia, where they are to embark for the East. The battalions of Chasseurs de Vincennes is also to leave Rome for the same destination.  The Parma Gazette, of the 18th, publishes a decree of the Duchess Regent re-organising the Council of State.  A letter from Naples, of the 14th, says that there have been several political arrests lately in that capital, and that a lady, Mme. Caterina di Lioto, has been arrested at Beggio, in Calabria, with two of her sons.  The Kreutz Zeitung publishes, in the largest possible type, the following laconic telegraphic official despatch from St. Petersburg, dated St. Petersburg, the Bth inst. :—" Piince Menschikoff announces, under date of October 14, all goes well at Sebastopol." The Russian organ gives the despatch in French, and then in German, and, by the size of the type, treats it as a victory, or, at all events, as a reprieve from the overhanging sentence. No one here expects this sentence to be executed before the 21th or 25th.  According to the Hamburgh Correspondent, the Emperor Nicholas has made up his mind to send his two youngest sons, the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael, to see active service with the southern . army. . .
