SATURDAY.
The second Paris Conferences seem to recede as we approach the date originally stated with much confidence as the period of opening. A short time ago it was said matters had been so admirably arranged beforehand that only a few sittings would be necessary. This morning doubts are raised whether there will be any sittings at all. The .Daily News pub- lishes the following. "Paris, Saturday iforning.—Letters from Vienna of the 14th state that the question of holding the Conferences has now entered on a new phase. Count Buol has received a despatch, informing him that the Cabinet of the Tuileries, after mature reflection, cannot accept the interpretation of the Bolgrad question and that of the Isle of Serpents in the absolute terms pro- pounded by England, Austria, and Turkey-. Count Buol has sent this un- expected declaration to the Emperor of Austria in Italy. No one can now predict when the new Conferences will be opened."
At a recent dinner given at the Prussian Embassy, Prince Frederick William proposed a toast to "the duration of friendship between Prussia and France." Meanwhile, letters from Berlin continue to speak in a warlike strain of preparations, instructions to commanders, applications for permission to pass through neutral territories, and "the hearty as- sent" of the Emperor Napoleon to the expedition against Neuchatel. Two of the prisoners have been liberated, it is said, on very heavy bail.
The Patrie states that Prince Frederick William carried with him to Paris a commission "to invite the Emperor Napoleon to pay a visit to the Court of Berlin next spring; and it is said that his Majesty has accepted the invitation."
The English residing at Naples have signed an address of congratu- lation to the King, and presented it in person at the Palace.
The Emperor Napoleon says the Nord, was not the last to write to the King of Naples, privately, and offer his sincere congratulations on his Majesty's escape from the bayonet of Milano.
