M. Koehn has had tite honour of presenting to
bit Majesty his. picture of Louis XVI. rereiring the
Duke of Enghien an the Regions,..qf the Blessed.
His Majesty surveyed this picture with the most
interest, and deigned to express his satis-
faction to the artist.•
The object of the law-suit which Louis Buo-
naparte has brought against the Duchess St. Leo,
hip wife,. is to get back his eldest son front her
custody, as site refuses to give him up. ,
Some persons who have arrived frotn the Isle of
Elba within these few days, have given us the fol.-.

lowing particulars relative to Buonaparte :
" Ile-has got frightfully tat, and his corpulency
increases daily. Madame Letitia, his mother, and
the Princess Bo4ihese, his sister, are with him.—
His appearance is rather gay than melancholy;
and sometimes he even has extraordinary fits of
vivacity. (Accounts of a later date state, that the
tuissitm of General Koller has made him pensive
told melancholy). At other times he sings
with a .stimning loudness, takes the hands
rit his mother, who'll he calls his good mo-
ther, his good and charming mother. and begins.
Glancing, acccompanying his steps with a song
which he appears to have composed. lie

these. occasions no person must break lit upon
him. The Mayor of Porto Ferrajo, whom he bas
appointed his Chamberlain, anti tw'o or three
other persons, farm his constant. society. Ile
often takes the pleasure of hunting, with Z%larshal
Bertrand, his Minister of the Interior. Ile oe-
easionally makes excursions to the sea-shore and
Longove. Ile has about 700 or 500
troops, who seem to be intiell antioeed. by being
obligeti:to live On the island. Several have asked
and.obrained permission to.rethrn to Frauee. Some
alterations are making itt his' house. lie still
lieeps about SO horses in his. stables .
" Towards. the end of Autumn a company of
.players obtained permission to go to Elba. They
Perionned twice, on which occasions the Ex-Em-
peror was present. He is almost always dressed
in a uniform loaded with decorations.
_ " It is not true that Buonitparte has caused
noiney to he struck. The pieces coined with his
effigy, awl which have been circulated in some
towns of Italy,"appear to have been
tusnuFilc-
tured there as a speculation.
Mndame Letitia was about to quit the Isle of
. Elba, on her return to Rome.''
On the 13th inst. the Duchess of Angoulenic,
accompanied by Count Pastorct and Viscount De
7.lontmorencY, Members of the General Connell
or Desp,ittes, Member of the
Administrative Committee, visited the hospital
for Incurable Females, in the Rite de Sevres,
where, after it snort religions Ceremony, her
Royal Highness inspected the different wards, and
addressed the patients in the most kind and aift•c-
ticmate terms. She afterwards visited the hospital
for sick children.
It is sad that Madame Catalani intends to esta-
: Visit at the The-atre Louvois, an Italian Opera, of
which. she is to, be the Directress, and ' to which
-be added Madame *Marconi. The great ta-
. lents itf these two singers, sufficiently ensure the
success of the undertaking.
PARIS, DEC. 16. —The Chamber of I)eputies4er-
.
minated yesterday :heir secret sittings on the pro-
ject oflaw respeci ing the responsibility of M joist ers.
Six articles on the judgments of the Accomplices,
proposed, by the Reporter, were replaced by one
suggested by Laine: It declared, that accom-
pliees-or snbordinates.shall be accused and judged
by the two Chambers, in the same way as the
111inistci s. On casting up time votes, 99 were
knini for the Law, and 61 against it.
Loo kV. Bentinek arrived on the 24th ult. at
Genoa. After a short.stay in that city, his Ex-
cellency proposed to go to Florence.
One 'of those trials, too 'common ill England,
and which appear to us witil reason as offensive to
honoilras contrary to gOod morals, fills almost the
whole of the Engliali Journals of the 12th. The
Eirl of Roseherry- bronght an action against the
Eiti(inet Tnildmay, for criminal conversation with
plaintiff's ,and estimated his honour at the
amount of 30,000/. The Jury assembled to as-
sess the daiwge.s did not, however, estimate the
lionoUr of the Noble Lord at the price he laid set
upon it, but thought it sufficiently indemnified by
the-sum of lA,OOOi. (about 330,000 fr.)----(Journal
des' Debits) '
The. afEtir'of the Conscripts atYout Eveque, of
.whieh we hitVe spoken many times, was decided
on "Saturday, the 10th, by the Special Court at
Cacti. After a long trial, Desthares and.Jairdains'
• Nv•e're convicted of being in rebellion\ against the
armed 'torte, and adjudged to pay a fine; or da-
' wages, of 6000, francs, to the widow of the .de-
ceased La Valliant, (killed by their means) and
Dnithlet and Ilardi were acquitted.
Double Suicide.----A letter front Frankfort, of
the ilth of Dereinber, states, that a most.rernark-
"able 'suicide was lately committed in the neigh-
bouThood of that city. A domestic, aged 26, ser-
vant in a respectable house, withwhom the,
master was well satisfied, suddenly disappeared,
PS -did, at the same time, a young gill of eighteen,

took away nothing, but two pistols belonging to
the master of the

The Baron de Driesen, Lieut.-General in the
service of Russia, 'and formerly Governor of NEC-
tau; who had behaved so %veil to all the French,
had the honour to be presented to his Majesty on
the 10th of this month. The King, who never:
'forgets those who have %cell treated his .unfortu-
nate subjects, received hi,m most graciously, and
taking him by the hand, said,, " I feel true plea-
sure in 'thus
,receiviag the good friend of the
French, in one who has so well treated all of us !"
—The Baron testified the most lively emotion on
the happy occasion.
The first Gentleman of the Bedchamber pre-
sented to his*Majesty; on the 15th of this month,
a woman named Buard, aged 101. The King,
like a truly benevolent father of all his subjects,
ordered her a pension of 300 francs for- the re-
mainder of her life.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of
the 170, a very long discussion took place on the
Report of the Committee on the Project of Law
relative to the future organization and reduction
of the number of the Members of the .Court •

Cassation (Appeal), which last was held necessary
'in elmsequence of the .diminution of the French terri-
tOry. In the. result, the debate, upon a propOsi-
tion- of Marshal Augier for postponing the consi-
dering of the laic, generally, until the next Ses-
sion, and enabling the King to• frame tempozary
regulations, was adjourned. till Monday.

ORDONNANCES OF THE KING.
Louis...--Wheras the Military Budget, which has been re-

His Majesty has also further decreed, that all French Mili-
tary men, of whatever rank., who -are now engag,il in any
foreign service without his special authority, shall return
to
France before the 15th of April itext : or otherwise, theyshan

TAMS,* DFc. 18.-,-Private letters from Vienna
announce that the Congress is terminated to the
satisfaction of all the Alotiarehs. • There'will be
itextweelt at. Vieunt .a grand banquet of OW co- •

In the Sitting of the -,Chamber of Peers of the
13th, Count
.VioineniLin the name of a Com-
mittee, proposed {he \•erificAtion- andehrolment Of
the letters of•naturaliznion granted by the King
,(Q•MarAtal Alasselia, Prince of Esslitg, w;th re
gard to \Omni, he said, no•WArrior could- lbrge

.the victory at Zurich, the obstinate defence of
Genoa, and the intrepid defence of Essiing : To
Admiral (Num Verhuel,. who, the reporter sa:d,
was distinguished for his valour, his noble cha-
racter, and successful combats with an .Engiish
squadron : To Count Perin°, and four other Fo-
reigners.
The Reporter added, that on the subject of
these naturalizations, it was extremely agreeable
to to pay a just tribute to the enlightened
goodness of the King, who knew how to appry
ciate evtry kind of merit and of talent that had.
made itself conspicuous in France, at periods so
various, and in such different CateCTS. In his
Majesty's estimation, time existed no distinction'
between \services rendered to the Prince and those
rendered to the State : the lather of all Its sub-
juts, he bore them equally on his heart. Not sa-
tisfied with decorating his throne, aml
ing it with a triple row of brave warriors, just
magistrates, and illustrious literati, born in our
country, and Who formed the glory of old and of
new 'France ; he wished an'o to preserve to us
men of equal merit, who, though of foreign birth,
were become French by the fate of war, and Of
whom the hue treaty of peace might have deprived
France, by restoring the countries of their birth

to their former,Sovereigns.
VIENNA, DEC. 5.---The Emperor of Russia was,
Very busy during the few days that he kept his
apartments, and made several conciliatory p opo-
sitions to the Ministers of the Allied powers.
But those diplomatic characters, who pretend
there is not a good understanding or, basis con-
cerning the negociation, have, it deed, some rca-
sons• to fear the result of the discussions. They
found their arguments on what is actually passing,
and is known to ail the world. Numerous armies'
are assembling on the confines of Gallicia : a
powerful Austrian arnry, under the orders of Ge-
net•al Hiller, is forming.on the banks of the Saave,
and it is not apprehended that Prussia will dis-
possess herself of Saxony, before she receives in-;
((enmities which will he etluiY•nleut. At all events,
the Emperor Alexander will retain Warsaw, the
capital of Poland.
• DEC. 6.—The news
.to-day are of a mores pacific
tendency than they have been .of late. A fete.is
even exulted in by anticipation, as intended to
take place before the departure•of the S:,yoreig--nS,
which proves that the most perfect harmony pre-
vails bet NV Cell them. it,i3 to be called the " Evs -

with tine greatest solemnity. • But it is to be re-
gretted that the day'tor so grand a ceremony bus
not been- yet fixed on. This net's. has caused
sonic rise to take place in the funds.
VIANNt., DEC. 3.--The claims which Count
Ludovisi has laid before the Congrests'to the Isle
of Elba and the Principality of Pion-11)in°, bare
not been allowed to pass unnoticed. The mis-
sion of General Koller to Italy and the Isle of

Elba, seems to he their result. A.ccording to se-_
veral persons, it relates to an alteratiou in Napo-
leon's residence. Several.POwers have required it:
According to letters from Western (iallicia, two
Russian corps are marching towards Jassy. • The
regiment of the Archduke John is quitting Tran-
sylvania, to proceed into the Bukovi:le.

VIENNA, DEC. 10.—(From a'Private Letter.)--
Several well informed persons assert, that for the
last four or five days, the negociations have not
advanced a step, and they say that the stay of ;he
Sovereigns will be farther prolonged.—Much is
said here in praise of the note sent by Prince de
Metternich, in answer to that presentcd.b,y the
Plenipotentiary, of Wurtemberg. 1 transmit to
you a copy of the note sent by the Ministers of
the Grand Duke of Badeu to the Princess tle Met-
ternich and Hardenberg, viz. the two
,under-
signed Ministers of his Serene Flightless the
Grand Duke of Baden, at the Congress of Vienna,
have the honour to transmit to the Puilices, as
above, the following authentic Declaration

" His Serene Highness the Grand Duke being always
highly desirous to contribute by every weans in his power to
the welfare and happiness of his subjects, h:•'s taken the re'o-
lution to conform to tin: spirit of the times, and to give to his
provinces a Constitutio❑ foanded on the basip of the estates.
He therefore grants to his subjects-Ist, The right of voting
direct and indirect Taxes, and of con ti outing- their applica-
tion; eti, A participation in the legislative Inoctions;
The right of 'accusation -against the Ministers of State in case
of malversation. This Constitution will be ileiniitircly or-
ganised according to the 'reslilt of the negociations of the
Congress. But, in order t;► obviate a loss of time, his Se-
rene Highness has already appointed- a Commission to con-
sider of suitable modifications witti reference t.:► local cir-
cumstances, The Undersigned beg leave to testify to the
Princes, Scc. their sincere respect."

MADllin, Die. 7.—Since 11. tie .Cevallos his
apin become Minister of State,,the paniphiet
war has subsided : his Excellency lets more seri-
oos occupations. The solemn burning of the re-
presentaliou of M. Amoros has served'as its an-
swer. it appears certain that II
he Couht de Pe-
rrilaclA is fixed on to go to Pars ; but no prepara-
fifths are yet t,bservect to be waking fur his tic-

part tire.
PETE.RSEUROT, Nov. 12. —Earl Cathcart has
arrived at Cronstadt•; also the (iovernment trroms..
port Anne, bringing sceerid• horses for the Em-
peror. 1 he,flPTing 'v.v. has collected here in pro-
digious quantities, especially at the Mole-head.
It has since entirely disappeared,' as has alStl the
Sikr,Y. On the 11:h, two elephants, and 2,1 fine
Arabian horses, .were sent by the King of Persia
:15 a laaesent to the Emperor.

Main iu that city until after Christmas, or wail

GrtZ:.NT, DEC. •:I'2.—The deliberations of the
Congress in this City proceed with a greater-pros-
pect SUCCVS3 than ever. 'After various written
cetnntunicat•ions between the legations, they had
a-grand personal eonteretice at the American Mi-
nister's hotel, who received the English Neg,o-
ciators in a most distinguished manner. The.
conference was long but amicable ; and the Eng-
lish- Min's'ers have transmitted the result to their
(ioveannient. Thottgb it-. is impossible to know
exactly the state of the Negociations, yet *ere-
; are circumstances frwn which om;e m•miy.' conclude
that things are in‘ a better state. The Secretary
of Mr. Bayarcl, who'llail been sent to Pal
to this •city yesterday.
'l' be navigation of the Baltic. is. totally inter-
rupted. Accounts have been received of great dis-
ers, occasioned by the late tempests.
B‘st.r, -D,tx. 8.-IVe learn that the Swiss regi-
mews which are still, in the pay of England, are
about to ;be disbanded.. The service of these re-
' giments does not rest on' capitulations concluded
with the Governments of the Swiss Cantons. One
of these regiments, that of NVatkville, has distin-
guished itself in America on several occasions,
particularly at the assault on Fort Frie ; but it
has also sustained considerable losses.
The British -Minister in Switzerland has caused
it to be notified, that in consequence of the deci-
sion of his Go‘crumnent, all time Swiss Officers
and soldiers %Vito have heretofore had pensions from
England, are to have restored what was granted
to them, and that the suspension of such pen-
sions, which had been decreed, is to be consider-
ed as null and void. -
NAPLES,, Nov. Majesty,King Joachim
appears, so well satisfied with the dispositions Of
the -Sovereigns at the Congress, respecting his
right to the Crown. of Naples, that he has delayed
to beyond the Ist of January the cxocutiou of the
measures prescribed by his Decree of the 26th
AnguSt, concerning the Neapolitans who are now
in Sicily, thirrelations with the Court of Vienna
