BERLIN, DEC. 31.—Colonel Manteuffel returned
this morning from his mission to Vienna, perfectly
satisfied with the attention paid to him personally.
If the Government be further satisfied is extremely
questionable.

A letter in the Breslau Gazette says :—" It is
reported that the autograph letter of the King of
Prussia which has been delivered to the Emperor
of Austria by Colonel Manteuffel points out the
motives which prevent Prussia from acceding to
the treaty of the 2d December, and warmly urges
the Emperor to avoid a rupture with Russia."
The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort quotes a
letter from Beriin of the 29th ultimo, which
says :—" A note from Count Nesselrode ar-
rived at Vienna the day before yesterday, the
contents of which have also been communicated
to our Cabinet. In this note Russia declares that
it accepts the principle of the four points in their
integrity and without reserve. These declarations,
which have become known at Vienna, are of such
a nature that Austria has considered them calcu-
lated to offer a basis for negotiation. It is espe-
cially the third point, however, which will present
difficulties in the details ; and the negotiations
which will take place at Vienna on the revision of
the treaty of 1841 will be of the same nature as
those new going on at London between M. de
Usedom and Lord Clarendon."

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Emperor and Empress, on the occasion of
the Now Year, received in their apartments the
congratulations of their Imperial Highnesses Prince
Jerome Napoleon, Princess Ma thilde, Prince Louis
Lucien Bonaparte; Prince Lucien Murat; Princess
Napoleon Baciochi, and the Princess Lucien M:urat.
The Marshal Commander-in-Chief of the army
of Paris addressed the following order of the day
to the troops under his orders after the review of
Saturday last :
" The review passed by the Emperor was one of the
most remarkable for the order, the precision, and the
ensemble of the movements, and the regularity and good
attitude of the troops under arms. His Majesty has
testified his satisfaction to the Marshal Commander-in-
Chief, who is happy to convey the expression of it to the
officers, sub-officers, and soldiers under h;s orders, and
to thank them for the intel'igenee, the zeal, and the
good spirit which have produced these results, of
which existing circumstances enhance the importance
and the value. ‘` MAGNAN."

The subscriptions for the loan of 500,000,000 f.
were opened this morning, at 9 o'clock, at the office
of the Finance department, that of the Receiver
General, and at all the Illairies of Paris. The at-
tendance of subscribers was in general very good,
and in some places the number of people was con-
siderable. In the court of the Finance office wooden
houses were constructed, to shelter the public from
the inclemency of the weather. The heavy fall in
the funds to-day is attributed to the large sales of
stock for the purpose of purchasing into the new
loan.

The President of the Senate made the following
speech on that body being presented yesterday to
the Emperor :

" The Senate have come to offer to your Majesty its
homage and good wishes. Each year, Sire, appears to
have for object to add to the grandeur of your
reign. That which has just ended has given, under
your auspices, a new character to the policy
of Europe ; even in the midst of war you have
obtained an alliance which strengthens the country,
and striking proofs of friendship which do it
honour. Since your Majesty will, by an exception
with which it is deeply affected, authorise the
Senate to depart for a moment from the ordinary cere-
monial of this day, allow me to express to your Majesty
our confidence in your Government, our gratitude for
the heroic co-operatio❑ of England, and our patriotic
solicitude for our brave armies, who so gloriously sup-
port in the East the intentions of your Majesty, and the
honour of the French name. The year which has now
commenced will not be less than propitious, for there
is happiness in the policy of upright and loyal Princes.
It will appear to us particularly fortunate if Providence
should deign to shed its blessings on the person of your
Majesty, on the Empress, who share all our French sen-
timents, and on the Imperial family."
His Majesty replied :

" I thank the Senate for the sentiments which it ex-
presses to me through the organ of its President. I shall
always rely on the co-operation of the Senate ie every-
thing which relates to the happiness of the French people,
the success of our alliances, and the glory of our arms?'
This speech was hailed with repeated cries of
" Vive l'Empereur !" by all the members of the
Senate.

The Journal de Cherbourg gives the following
details respecting the vessels of war in that port :

"Three vessels are in the roadsted—the frigate Vir-
ginie, of 52 guns, which is about to lea.° for India, and
China ; the Lucifer, steam advice boat, about to leave
for Brest, and the Actif, steam advice boat, which is
