POST SCRIP T  A Letter from Vienna in the Augsburg Gazette, says :  Baron de Bourqueney has recently received despatches, in consequence of which he has proposed to draw the frontier of Bessar2thia between Itolgrad and the Lake of Yalpuck. But this proposition has not appeared acceptable.  The last intelligence from Constantinople of the 12th has created some uneasiness on the Exchange. It was stated that M. 'llouvenel and M. Boutenieff had called upon the Porte for explanations on pendant questions, and that the answers were evasive. The new Ministry was not yet formed.  Intelligence from Berlin states that the Prussian Government is thinking seriously of a military expedition against Switzerland, to compel the release of the Neufchatel prisoners.  By telegraph from Madrid, of the 19th instant, we have the following : An official despatch from 3falagn, dated yesterday, announces that the garrison had been attacked by a band of persons proclaiming the Republic. The troops behaved gallantly, and order was soon re-established. Five of the insurgents were killed. The garrison had seven men  m minded.  King Otho was expected at Athens on the 13th inst.

SIR ALEXANDER BAXXF.R3IAX, for some time past Governor of the Bahamas, has been promoted to the Governorship of Newfoundland, in succession to Mr. Darling, now Governor of Jamaica. Mn. Smrru, the Accountant-General at the War Department, is about to retire. He will be succeeded by Mr. Kirby, late Chief Examiner of Army Accounts, whose great expenence in the department, says the Globe of last evening, may be expected to be most beneficially exercised in closing the complicated accounts of the war.  SIR ALEXANDER COE/M.IRX was yesterday morning invested with the coif of a Sergeant at. Law, previous to being sworn in before the Lord Chancellor at Lincoln's inn. To-day he will be sworn in at the Queen's Bench and Court of Exchequer, after which he will take his seat as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.

THE "TIMES" AND "DAILY NEWS" ON THE RESULT OF OUR NEAPOLITAN POLICY.  [There is one effectual step to purge the Neapolitan State from the evils which desolate it, and that is to put away from the throne he has dishonoured the incorrigible perturber of the commonwealth of Europe.—D. News, Oct. U.]  THE Naples correspondent of our Liberal contemporary thus writes from Naples, November 13 : Our position is one of the most ridiculous that can well be conceived. After many months of menacing correspondence, of European journalising and expectation, of preparations of fleets, and sailing and counter sailing, the British and French Ministers leave Naples like two private gentlemen (Mons. lirenier, it must be confess!d, with some attempt at eclat), and one French and one English frigate come in just to ask us, " How do you do ?"

The King, too, pats us on the back, and promises to protect us in our persons, rights, property, and interests ; and he fulfils his promise, for straightway he issues a rescript giving orders to that effect, and never were a people more courteously treated than the French and the English. Towards the Neapolitans themselves a more conciliatory manner is adopted, and a degree of tranquillity exists that we have not known for a long time lt shows that the allies have failed in rendering themselves either respected or respectable, and that what they have done or omitted to do has produced dissatisfaction amongst the Liberals, and ridicule amongst the Royalists. At the present moment the King is ccmplete master of the position. He has defied and triumphed over the allies, his " sic rob°, sic jubeo," was never stronger than it, now is ; and all that the allies have done has been to place him on a pedestal which history certainly will not accord him.  The Times correspondent on Nov. 10th writes much in the same strain :
