PARIS, SUNDAY.
General de Wedell arrived yesterday in Paris
from Berlin. It miy have been remarked that at
the period of the first mission of that gentleman,
and when the French press appeared to believe in
the success of an immediate arrangement, the Ger-
man journals displayed a systematic incredulity on
the subject. It is no longer the same now. Letters
from Berlin state that General Wedell is em-
powered to sign the protocol of December 28, on
behalf of Prussia, in the expectation that Prussia
will then be admitted without difficulty to the con-
ference.

Lady John Russell landed yesterday at Calais
' on her way to Vienna to join her husband.
The llioniteur contains a decree confirming a
number of nominations in the Legion of Honour
,and of distribution of military medals, made by
General Canrobert in the army of the East.
General Herbillon, in command of the Ist reserve
division of the array of the East, passed the Ist and
2d brigades of his divi6ion in review, at Lyons, on
the Bth. On that occasion he addressed the troops
in the following manner :---
" Soldiers, you are going to join your brethren in
arms, who at the Alma and at Inkerman proved by theii
bravery and resolution that the blood which flows in
their veins is the same as that of the heroes of the grand
army. Never did soldiers give proofs of greater self-
; denial, of a more continued perseverance, and, above all,
of a more constant spirit in the midst of the dangers of
every kind to which they are every day exposed. Sol-
diers, you will follow in their footsteps, and like them
y, )u will march against the enemy with cries of Vive
l'Empereur !"

This address was received with great enthusiasm.
The departure of the first regiment for Toulon
commenced immediately after the review.
The Toulonnais says the Herbillon division now
at Lyons is composed of 7,081 men and 728 horses.
Six hundred of the Guides will set out for the
Crimea shortly before, or about the time the Em-
peror leaves, 600 will follow soon after, and the re-
mainder will remain in Paris as the depot. It
appears that the whole of the corps are most
anxious to go, and memorials are constantly sent
to the Emperor for permission.
The farewell review of the 9th and 32d Regi-
ments of the line, forming part of the 11th division
of the army of reserve of the East, was held on Sa-
turday by the Emperor in the Court of the Tuil-
eries. About half-past 12 o'clock the war batta-
lions of those Regiments, under General de Guyon,
were drawn up in two lines in front of the central
pavilion of the Palace, known as the " Pavillon de
l'Horloge." Marshal Magnan add General Roquet
were on the ground to receive the Emperor. The
troops were in complete marching order. The Em-
peror mounted on horseback at 1 precisely, while
the Empress took her station at the balcony, which
was covered with crimson velvet. His Majesty,
having rode up and down in front of the lines, re-
quested the commanding officers to point out such
of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and pri-
vates as deserved the decoration of the Legion of
Honour, and he bestowed on them with his own
han4 this proud tribute to military merit. Tho
troops soon after defiled to the shout of " rive
VEmpereur !" a cry which, before long, will be re-
peated by them in front of the enemy on the field
of battle.

Au Imperial decree calls into active service the
140,000 recruits of the class of 1854, who are to
join their respective corps between the 25th and
31st inst.
A division of reserve, composed of the 3d and
4th Regiments of Voltigeurs and the 3d and 4th
Regiments of Grenadiers, is being organised at
Lyons. Those regiments, formed of the elite com-
panies of the 3d Battalions, are to be commanded
by Lieutenant-Colonels.

RUSSIA.
"Accounts from St. Petersburg," says the Gazette
de France, speak of romonstrances which are said
to have been addressed to the new Czar by the
body of nobles against the arming of the serfs. It
is well known that this measure, comprised in the
general armament ordered by the Emperor Ni-
cholas, had not met with any opposition. If, as it
is said, its execution now meets with any remon-
strances on the part of the nobility, it is doubtless
because the resolution of emancipating the serfs
having been long attributed to the heir presump-
tive, now become Emperor, it is feared that the
arming of that class will be a good step towards
that object."
"According to letters from St. Petersburg," says
the Woo (Indies "the Amoral of the ED3peror

Nicholas is to take place on the 20th. The popu-
lation of St. Petersburg (it adds) cannot accustom
themselves to the idea that it is the Grail(' Duke
Alexander, and not the Grand Duke Constantine,
who has succeeded his father ; and they invoke the
ukase of Peter the Great of the sth February,
1722, which confers on the Emperor the right of
nominating his successor. It was in virtue of this
ukase that Peter appointed Catherine I. to succeed
him."
