PKUSSIA . u certain circles here and in Potsdam , " says the times Berlin correspondent , " a good deal of remark has been occasioned by letters written by Prince Frederick William of Prussia during his present stay'in England ; the contents of these letters , it appears , do not give unqualified satisfaction in certain quarters , but I am given to understand that if known they would secure him widely ^ extended sympathy in England . "
RUSSIA . -The Oesterreichische Zeitimg learns from St . Petersburg that there has been a sharp conflict between the English and French prisoners at Kharkoff , in Southern Russia . . -It does not appear at present ( says the Times Berlin correspondent ) that there is any immediate intention of rebuilding SebastopoL Now that the harbour is no longer to be used for vessels of war , the value of the site is-nhnost destroyed , for as a commercial station it cannot in « ny way be compared with Odessa . It is understood , however , that some few points of the southern part of the city , which are requisite to the completion of the system of defenee of which the north side forms only a portion , will be restored .
The King of Prussia has conferred on the Emperor of Russia the Cross of a Commander of the Order of the House Of Hohenzollern . Count Hatzfeld , the Prussian Minister in Paris , is understood to have taken back with him , on his return to that capital , the Order of the Slack Eagle , to be presented to Count WalewskL Baron Brunow has presented to the French Emperor four Russian orders at once . Among them , it is supposed , was the Order of St . Andrew . The probable future representative of Russia at London is Councillor Nicolay .
The increased strictness that has been introduced of lateby the Russian Embassy at Berlin into its practice with regard to passports is said to be only the precursor 0 ? a tnuch more indulgent course , and to have been resorted to temporarily for the purpose of rectifying a good many instances of too great laxity , according to Russian views . The Russian Minister of State Tourkull , to whom the affairs of Poland have been long entrusted , died at Warsaw on the 11 th instant , from the consequences of a malady whioh he contracted while travelling with the Emperor from St . Petersburg to Warsaw . Prince Golenischeff-Koutousoff , a Pole by birth , has been appointed to succeed M . Tourkull .
= The Russian Government is now devoting great attention to the development of its > naval resources on the Siberian coast of the Pacific Ocean , and information has been received from St . Petersburg , that "for the purpose of furthering and devoloping the Russian naval power "in the . Pacific Ocean , the administration , building , annaiment , and fitting out of the fleet and harbours there ^ are confided to the independent control of the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia . " Another flagrant ease'of peculation and dishonesty is announced in the person of Colonel von Bronieffaky , Commissary-General'ef the late Black Sea fleet at Roatow , on the Don , who has been tried for his disgraceful conduct by a court martial , found guilty , and sentenced to be deprived of his commission , nobility , and orders , and . degraded to the ranks to serve as a common soldier . ToerBrnperor has confirmed the sentence .

No civilized age or country will ever perhaps have iHtnessed such a proof of the tenacity of cruelty and y iridictivenesa . I tell you a fact that cannot "be disputed , arid , though a thousand other facts equally deplorable afe continually occurring * to the ruin of this country , statesmen will wonder at and regret the * extreme opinions ' of the Italians , talk . grandiloquently about the ' sacred principle of non-intervention , ' and advocate the right of a Sovereign to call in assistance to goad and pen up Iiis cattle . * O Lord ! how long ? ' well may every Italian exclaim . " Political arrests continue at Ancona .
Four English seamen , wbo had landed at Porto d'Anzio in mistake for Giumicino , have been arrested by the Roman authorities for infringing the police and sanitary regulations . On the representations of the British vice-consul , they were liberated , but not until they had undergone imprisonment for' four days , and been kept without food for eighteen hours . Their ship in the meanwhile had sailed . On the occasion of the distribution of medals to the Sardinian- troops returned from the Crimea , the King
addressed to the soldiers a speech , in which he remarked : — " You have worthily responded to my expectations as well as to the hopes of the country , and you have justified the confidence of the Allied Powers * who offer to you to-day a solemn acknowledgment of their high opinion . I now receive back your victorious standards , certain that if the interest and the honour of the country oblige me to restore them to you , you will ever and everywhere cover them with fresh glory . " These words Were hailed with enthusiastic vivats .
Eleven persons are now being tried in Naples , on . a charge of conspiring against the Government . They were betrayed nearly a year ago to the authorities by a spy named Domenico Pierro , formerly one of their body . On the receipt of Pierro ' s information , the police arrested some of the conspirators in a coffee-house , where they inet for consultation , and others in their private dwellings . Several forbidden books and seditious foreign journals were likewise seized , and among these werfound some letters written in a kind of jargon intelligible to none but the conspirators . The Attorney-General , n evertheless , contrived , after much labour , to interpret them according to his own views , which were to the effect ihat a new conspiracy was going forward , and tliat the persons arrested had instigated the populace to rebel
against the Government , and had also tried to disaffect the King ' s troops . Upon the strength of this interpretation , combined with the information of Pierro and two other witnesses , the prisoners are to be tried . When the conspirators were arrested , which took place as long ago as July , 1855 , one of them , a man named Mignonna , \ ras subjected to the most insulting and cruel usage . The police-officers stripped him , and emulated each other in striking and spitting on him . Being examined before the higher authorities the following day , Mignonna was bound , and received fifty lashes . " An officer , named Quartana , " says the Times Naples correspondent , " was condemned to receive the same , but the punishment "was suspended , as Quartana fainted after undergoing a portion of it . The order -had been that all should be
beaten . "Without light or air , without beds or chairs , they passed many days , until the public , hearing of the brutalities exercised towards them , began to murmur , and the drawing up of the proc & s was taken from the hands of Campagna and transferred to those of Nlcoletti , the Procurator-Genorale . After eleven months , it Las been completed . " The trial has been conducted with the manifest injustice and partiality common to despotic states— -at least , on the part of the Attorney-General , whose manner is described as brutally insulting ; but the bearing of the President Grimaldi is spoken of oa remarkably calm , fair , and just .
The arrangement by whioh the departments of War and Marine in Sardinia were to be divided ( General Delia Marmora taking the War portfolio , and General Durando retaining-tbafc of Marine ) has not been entirely carried out . General Durando leaves the Ministry , and retires to the country . General Seira is to be placed at the head of the Marine . The Baron Kubeok , Austrian Minister Resident in Switzerland , has been named Vice-President of the Lieutenancy of Lotnbardv , with permission to return to the . diplomatic service . . From various cirouoistaucaa , this is thought to indicate on the part of Austria a disposition towards a reconcilement with Sardinia .
turkict . a Great coolness "exists between the Sultan and Bhld Pacha , "Viceroy of Egypt , and the spirits of the latter are very low . All communication between him and the Porte Bocmtf to bb suspended .

She paid the Sound Dues , but under protest . SPADT . The Spanish Government , by a majority of only eleven votes , has been authorized in suppressing the political clubs established in several of tLe provinces by the party called the " Puros . " Some of Espartero ' s former supporters voted against the Government ; and the schism is said to be ominous of ministerial troubles .
GEKECE . . Brigandage has increased to such an extent that the country may be said to be in a state of anarchy . On the high road to the Piraeus , at ten minutes' distance from Athens , twelve robbers attacked the diligence , and carried off eight passengers as prisoners . In consequence of the general insecurity of the country , it is proposed to proclaim martial law . The brigands are in Athens itself . The Moniteur Grec denies the account published by the Morning Post , that Lord Palmerston had been burnt in effigy , and states that this is not the first time tbat journal has been led into error by its correspondent .

NAVAL AND MILITARY . The ArcJo , steam transport , has been run down near Constantinople by a French Une-of-battle ship . No lives were lost , though the Argo was bo fearfully injured that it Was at first thought she would go down . Carelessness on the part of the French ship , in not keeping a better look-out , artd putting her helm the wrong way when the collision Was imminent , arc alleged as the eauaes of the disaster . —Her Majesty ' s ship Leopard , with 1500 Turkish troops on board , ran into some vessels in the Golden Horn , and severely Injured them . The Leopard itself sustained considerable danmge , and several : pt 8 rsons were wounded . A man of the Land Transport Corps was knocked down by the collision , and , when aBked whether he Was hurt , replied , " One thing is certain , I have broken my pipe } but I tbink I have broken my arm and leg likewise .
