I TEE NEUFCIifiXEL CONFERENCES. - The Misr, the enni-oificia Journal of Berlin, has the InDowhig : " We tears that the French imperial cabinet has, through its agents at Berlin, London, St. Peters burg, and Vienna, issued invitations to a Conference fig the definite settlement of the question of Neuf chatel—the other cabinets having admitted that, although the protocol of Bth May, 1852, was signed at London, the city of Paris, on account of its geo graphical position, and the negotiations held there during the late phases of the question, ought to be considered as the fittest place for the meeting. The Powers interested are invited to send their represen tatives to Paris as soon as possible with the feces eery instructions." . _ Other accounts state that at the opening of the Conkwences Prussia will bring forward a proposi tion for the settlement of the dispute. THE WAR FEELING IN PERSIA. Le Nord, of yesterday evening, publishes the subjoined letter from a special correspondent at Teheran, dated January 10 : " Preparations for war aro being made with the greatest activity. All the resources of the country are laid under contribution ; the troops are being concen trated, the irregular militia convoked, and, finally, a levy en masse has been decided upon. A' Holy War' is preached. The foreign representatives advised the government to abstain from this appeal to iinaliasea, but the government persisted in its intention, while giving warm= that public miler about be untroubled, and that the life and property of Christians should be respected. All the flank' curies, as well as the clergy and the card seen, assembled in the mosque of the Shah— mere than 30,000 people covering the court and terraces. The meeting lasted nearly the whole of the day, and concluded with the reading of the Annul of the Shah in four different parts of the mosque, so that the document might be hard by the entire amenably. This production, long and prolix, according to Oriental fashion, speaker first of the peace and friendship which reign be tween Persia and the other powers, with the exception, unhappily, of England; then gives an expose of the circumstances which led to the rup ture, and the people, in conelusion, are exhorted to fight and sacrifice life and fortune, if necessary, in the defence of their religion and country. The as sembly dispersed tranquilly, but it is feared that some badly-disposed persons will profit by the ex citement to create disturbances. The Orman will be read with similar solemnities in the forty principal towns. Unfortunately, scenes of disorder are much more likely to occur in the provinces than in the capital."

(volt 001 OWN PARIS, KoNDLI Last evening M. Milked, the banker, rive one of the most splendid entertainments that was ever served in the house of a private individual to a large circle of journalists and literary men. His large mansion in the Place St. George having no room safficiattly vast to contain all his guests, a pavilion was erected in the garden, in which Coven were laid for 150 persons. The pavilion was hung with crim son velvet, surrounded with rich pier glasses, warmed by air pipes, cooled by bobbling fountains, and lighted by thirty dozen wax candles in gilded chandeliers. The places of honour were filled by the Duke do Saint Simon, M. Le febvre Dunne, the former Minister of Pub lic Instruction, Baron Taylor, president of the Society of Gene de Lenses, and M. Cremieox, the eminent advocate. The dinner, furnished by MM. Potet and Chabot, was of the most exquisite descrip tion. Even the valetudinarian, who for a moment fancied he was surfeited with the fieh, learned, as the scientific repast went on, to understand the import of the French proverb, " L'appetit and ex orsatigeatel," and as his palate was tickled by trellis', pheasants, and woodcocks, found himself getting ravenous as the infinite varieties of mkt* entremets, and desserts marked the doling moments of the feast. The wines were all of the finest quality. I am positively assured that the banquet cost the giver 100 fr. per head without wine. Gold and silver forks were thrown about the table in pro fusion, and all the third course wee served upon Sevres china, Deering the initials and crown of Louis Philippe. At dessert Berea Taylor proposed the health of M. Milked. M. Poneard, of the Academy, followed with the toast of Madame Mil ked, and immediately afterwards that lady, who is very beautiful, and several years younger than her husband, walked round the dinner table (escorted by M. :Lefebvre Burette), and graciously saluted the guests. After-dinner speeches are not eongenial to French habits, and never form so ormspienens a feature of a banquet se they do in England. On this occasion, however, speechifying went on somewhat longer than used. M. Miry, the poet, made a humorous discourse, end, observing upon the magnificence of the banquet, said that whatever evil things M. Poomard might have said of money, he thought it was a good thing if it was made a good me of end seeing howsomptaously M. Milked treated literary men, he could only hope that he might see California installed in the Place St. George. When M. Miry sat down there were loud cries for IL Cremiena, whose eloquence is so renowned. He rose with some reluctance, and, after a brief allusion to the brilliant constellation of literary talent gathered round that festive board, concluded with proposing the " Li berty of the Press." This wholly unexpected toast was received with loud applause, but much laughter, for just opposite to M. Cremieux were seated M. Grassier de Camagnae, M. de Cesena, and other sup porters of liberty of that calibre. After dinner, Madame Millaud gave a concert, which was attended bya great many ladies, besides gentlemenwhohad not joined the dinner party. Among the latter were observed M. Ler:martins and M. Duple, sin*. The Duchess of St. Simon wore the Cross of Malta, which she, of all the ladies in France, in alone en titled to wear. A supper in the tent followed the concert, and after that an impromptu ball was arranged, which lasted till near five in the morning. The memory of this file will last for many a day. The Bourse opened well, it being anticipated that the Emperor's speech would contain satisfactory statement. respecting the financial situation and promises of reduction in the public expenditure con sequent upon the peace. The speech Smelt was placarded about half-past two, and produced a very mixed feeling. The great point, that there is to be no new loan, was of course considered a bright fea ture, and the reduction of the second war decime, although expected, was favourably accepted as a reality. Bat the announcement that the military levies for 1868 are to be 100,000 men, that is to say, 20,000 more than the ordinary contingent, was felt as a painful surprise, notwithstanding the explanation that the Emperor intends that about two-thirds of the number shall only remain in actual service two years, and the inference which , the public is intended to draw that his sole object is to form an efficient army of reserve. The data that a tax on negotiable securities la " under consideration* also produced a certain degree of depression, particularly upon railway shares. Al though the public mind has long been fiunlliarised with the project, a rumour had been current within the last two or three days, that, in con sequence of various practical objections made is the Council of State, it had been .ban dead The uncertainty as to the nature and extent of the tax to be imposed weighs more heavily on the market than if the worst were known. The Bente, however, after fluctuations within the range of 16c., was well supported to the close, and left off at yesterday's price for cash, and with a rise of 10c. for account, at 68fr. 46c., and 68fr. 63e. Mobilier fell f 2 r. 60e. Most of the railways fell .boat 6ft. A good many purchases were made in the packet com panies which are considered to have a chime of ob taining the transatlantic concession, the speech stat ing that a sum will be set apart for that object in the budget.

' • • [7, 1857. The high gallery that rune round the hall was reserved for the Empress and the Princesses of the Imperial Family, and the Grand Muter and Mistress sad Ladies of the Households of the Empress, and the Princess Mathilde, as also the ladies specially invited. Her Majesty's place was in the centre, and opposite the Emperor's throne. It is hardly necce wary to say that all present were in full dress ; the usual forms of precedence and etiquette were ob served on entering and on leaving the hall. The Emperor, whose arrival was announced by a salute of 101 guns, appeared at one o'clock. The whole assemblage rose to receive him. He at once took his place on the throne, and the Grand Muter of the Ceremonies called out,—" Gentlemen, be seated." The Emperor then stood up, and read in an audible voice the following sp eech:— __ . " Messieurs lesSinateurs et Hoskins lee De putts,—Lest year my opening speech ended with an invocation of the Divine protection. I besought Him to guide our efforts in the way that should be most conformable to the intereata of humanity and civilisation. That prayer seems to have been heard. "Peace has been signed, and the difficulties of detail arising from the execution of the Treaty of Paris have come to an end by their being fortunately surmounted. "The dispute that arose between the King of Prussia and the Helvetic Confederation has lost all its warlike aspect, and it is permitted us to hope oon for a favourable solution. "The good understanding re-established between the three protecting powers of Grease renders henceforth useless a prolonged stay of the English and French troops at the Innen*. If a regrettable disagreement has taken place respecting the affairs of Naples, we must still impute it to that desire which still animates both the government of Queen Victoria and my own to act everywhere in behalf of humanity and civilisation. Now that the best understanding prevails between all the great powers, we ought to work seriously in regulating and deve loping the national wealth and resources at home. We ought to contend against those evils from which society in a state of program is not exempt. " Civilisation, we must observe, though it has for its objects the moral improvement and material welfare of the greatest number of people, marches like an army. Its victories are not obtained without sacrifices and victims. Those means of rapid con veyance which facilitate intercourse, and which open new routes for trade, at the same time derange ex isting interests, and leave those countries behind that are still without them. Those machines which are so useful, which multiply the fruits of human toil, at first take the place of the workman, and for the moment cause many hands to be unoccupied. Those mines which diffuse through the world such an amount of metallic money as was never before known, that inexhaustible source of wealth which we deno minate credit, are bringing forth marvels. Never theless, speculation, carried to excess, ruins many an individual. Hence arises the neoesaity, without staying our progress, of coming to the aid of those who cannot follow its accelerated march. We must stimulate these, and moderate those, ali ment the activity of this breathless, inquiet, and clamorous society, which in France expects every thing from the government, but which it is a duty to confine within the bounds of practicability and the calculations of reason. " To enlighten and to direct—this is our duty. The country prospers; that fact is undeniable, for, not withstanding the war and the dearth, the onward movement has not slackened. The product of the indirect taxes—the sure index of the public fortune —has surpassed in 1866 by 60 millions the amount yielded in 1866, which itself stood out exceptionably favourable. Since the establishment of the Empire these revenues have spontaneously increased, with out taking new taxes into the account, by 210 millions. " Nevertheless there is among one portion of the community great suffering, of which, unless Provi dence scud us a good harvest, the millions given in private charity and by the government will be but feeble palliatives. Let us then redouble our efforts to remedy those evils which are beyond the reach of human foresight. "During the past year several departments hare been attacked by the scourge of inundation. I have every encouragement to hope that science will be enabled so far to control nature as to prevent the recurrence of these calamities. It is with me a point of honour that in France the rivers shall be made to return, like the revolution, to their chan nels, no more to leave them. " Another, not lees serious, cause of uneasiness has its scat in the state of men's minds. Crises arise from false rumours or false doctrines propagated by ignorance or ill-will. The manufacturing por tion of the nation has lately been made uneasy by the report that the government cherishes projects inimical to its development and its prospegty. The duty of good citizens, then, is to diffuse everywhere the wise doctrines of poli tical economy, and especially to confirm those vacil lating minds which, I will not say at the first breath of adversity, but at the slightest check to our pros perity, see wont to sow the seeds of discouragement and increase the prevailing uneasiness with their imaginary alarms. " Considering the various exigencies of the pre sent situation of affairs, I have resolved to reduce the expenditure, without suspending the great works which are going on, and without compromising the substantial results which have been obtained. I have resolved to diminish certain imposts without impairing the finances of the state. The budget for 1868 will be presented to you, duly balanced. AU the items of estimated expenditure which can be foreseen are included in it. The amount produced by the loans will prove to have been sufficient to defray the expenses of the war. All departments of the public service may be provided for, without our being obliged to have recourse again to public credit. "The estimates for the War Department and Marine have been reduced within due limits, care being taken to preserve the cadres, to respect the degrees of rank which have been so gloriously gained, and to maintain an armed force worthy of the greatness of the country. It is with this view that the annual contingent has been fixed at one hundred thousand men. This number is twenty thousand below that of the ordinary enlistment in time of peace. But, according to the system which I have adopted, and to which I attach great im portance, about two-thirds of these conscripts will only remain two years with their colours, and are afterwards to firm a reserve that will supply the country at the very first appearance of danger with an army of six hundred thousand disciplined men. " The reduction of the effective faros will permit me to improve the pay of the lower ranks and of the line—a measure which the downers of provisions renders indispensable. In like manner, it yields a sum of Ave millions to begin with, for raising the inferior eateries of some of the officials in the civil departments, who, amidst the hadn't privations, have set a good example of probity and devotedness. " Nar have we forgotten to set apart a grant far the purpose of establishing a. line of transatlantic Meissen, the enstion of which hes been so long respired. Notwithstanding these increased ex penes, I shall propose to you to suppress, from the Ist of January, DOS, the war tithe added lately to the registration dues. The abolition of this will be a sacrifice of 23 millions ; but as a compensation for it, and in conformity with the wishes expressed 011 several occasions by the Corps Legislatif, I have caused to be taken into consideration the imposition of a new duty on all negotiable share properts (raleurs " An idea wholly philanthropic had induced the government to remove the Bagnes ' to Guiana. Unfortunately the yellow fever, which had been unknown in those regions for fifty years, has appeared, and arrested the advance of colonist. tion. A plan is being prepared for the removal of those establishments to Afeica, or elsewhere. " Algeria, in which, under skilful hands, we see agriculture and commerce daily extending, deserves to attract our special attention. The decree of cut. traliaation recently issued will favour the work of administmtion ; and I shall neglect no care to offer you, according to the circumstances, the measures best adapted for the development of the colony. " I invite your attention to a law that tends to bring into cultivation the' Lodes' of Gascony. The progress of agriculture ought to be one of the objects of our constant solicitude ; for the prosperity or de. cline of empires may be dated from its improvement or neglect. . _ _ "Another project of law due to the initiative of the Marshal Minister of War will be laid before you. It is a complete military penal code, which consolip dates, whilst harmonising them with our institns tions, the scattered and often contradictory laws that have been issued since 1790. You will be glad, I doubt not, to affix your name to a work of this importance. " Messieursles Deputes,—Since this session is to be the last of your legislation, permit me to thank you for the devoted and active assistance that you have afforded me since 1652. You have proclaimed the Empire. You have taken part in all the measures that have restored order and prosperity to the country. You energetically supported me during the war. Yon shared my grief during the epidemic and the season of scarcity. You shared my joy when Heaven gave me a glorious peace and a well-beloved son. Your loyal co-operation has enabled me to consolidate in France a form of government based on the will and interests of the people. It was a difficult task to perform, for which real patriotism was essential s that of accustoming the country to new instil*. lions. To supersede the licentious freedom of the tribune, and those stirring contests that announced the fall or elevation of ministries, by free, but calm and serious debate, was a signal service to the country, and to liberty itself; for liberty has no enemies more formidable than the excesses of pal• sion and violence of speech. _ " Strong in the assistance of the great bodies of the state, and in the devotedness of the army—strong, above all, in the support of this people, which know. that all my time is consecrated to its interests, I foresee for our country a future full of hope. " France, without injury to the rights of any one, has resumed in the world the rank that was her dos, and may devote herself in security to the promotka of all that is most truly grand in the works of the genius of Peace. "May God not be weary of protecting her, and good may we be able to say of our age what a statesman, an illustrious and national historian, has written of the Consulate, "Satisfaction was universal, and who. ever had not in his heart the evil passions of part, spirit rejoiced at the public happiness." On concluding the speech the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, by order of the Emperor, called cal the Minister of State to inform the Deputies and Sena. tors named since the last session to come forward and take the oaths. Their names were called; they advanced to the Throne; the formula was read by the minister, and each, holding forth his right hand, said, "I swear !—I swear obedienos to the Constitution, and fidelity to the Em. peror!" The Minister of State then declared the session opened for 1857, and invited the senators and members of the Legislative Corps to assemble to-morrow in their respective places, is order to commence their labours. Immediately after, the Emperor first, and then the Empress, re tired with their respective torte:yrs in the same order as they had entered. The sitting then closed, the assemblage separated, and a second salute of 101 guns announced to the people of Paris that the ceremony of opening the Chambers was over. The wcathts:was beautiful, awl the usual crowds were attracted to the spot to view the proceedings. TUB AFFAIR AT MANTUA.
