PARIS, Dee. 11.—The king his usual recep tion yesterday. The ministers, the Spanish amebas , sador. Prirco Tallosinh)„ the marshals, iinstitshir ' of Peers, Generals, and officers , 4* all arms, had the iainwir of paYi7 , g their court to his Majesty. The members of the Board of Ungitude had the honour of presenting the work, entitled, La C 0,,. naisance du Teau. Ilia majesty transacted busi ness with the ministers of the Loire and foreign departments. The council of the Court of Peers assembled yesterday. After hearing the report made by the Chancellor in the name of Commission of lustritc tion, the council, agreeably to the opinion of the Attorney-General, declared that there was not suf ficient ground for prosecuting MM. Gertzny and Jacob, both subalterns in the legion of the Lower Rhine, and arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the conspiracy, the adjudication of which is re - ferred to that court. The council likewise declared that there was no cause for proceeding against six others in custody. It is said that the report on that affair is ready ; and will be presented by the Attor ney-General as sqon as he is able to quit his house, t.• which he has been confined fur several days 17 an attack of the gout. The Prince Cimitile, envoy extraordinary from the governrient of Naples to the British Court, who has made a few days stay in Paris, set off yes terday for London. VICNNA, NOY. 30.—The Congress at Troppau is terminated. The last conference was on the 20th, an' the Kiag of Prussia left on the 21st. Since his .le,arture, mitil their separation, the Emperors have oily made visits a cerem my without speaking i.f p..liticz. A thick veil envelops all that has been silo le ; bolt, perhaps, indiscretion will furnish some Eiglis7e jonrnalist with the whole, who will not fail to lay all thai lie can discover before the public. At present the m probable result of the Congress is, p istp inement dull plans of hostility against the kiiiLni , m o 1 Naples: other affairs appear abandoned, fir the present; but a new Congress is spoken of next March. The general opinion here is altogether against war, and this has been favourable to the public cowls. For the rest, the troops stationed in Upper Italy will net be withdrawn ; but we learn that great alterations in their positions have been already 'irdereil, and that the corps will remain on a footing ..f peace. Prince Lichtenstein, it is said, charged with a mission to Naples, has proceeded on his way to Italy. In the course of this week a great number of troops arrived, going to Italy. According to the first dispositions taken, the major part of the regi ments of infantry put in route had but two moveable battalions. The third hattalilt is to join afterwards; end this has given rite to the belief of the approach ing organization of a second anny of reserve, of which much is spoken, and which is in itself proba ble. (The recent promotions in the army arc then mentioned.) Much is said of an important mission with which Colon d Bubna will be intrusted to the Neapolitan Governntent. S.
