PRUSSIA.

•
VIENNA., DECRIEBER Is.
The day before yesterday, the assembled German
Ministers held their fifth Conference: The Commit-
tees appointed in one of the previous Sittings for the
different objects of the Congress, meet daily, in Or.
dor to ourodito the 'moult of amirld.ours. Nothing,
certain is yet known as to the duration of these Con.;
ferences ; but it is probable they will continue to
the end of January. What some Papers, however,-
say, of several Deputies to the-Congress having ens
gaged houses for tep Months, is completely ground-
less. Equally unfounded is the report that .tbe
Counsellor of Legation, Schoen., is here on the part
of Prussia,in the same character as the Court Coun-
sellor, Von Gent; on the part of Austria. Herr
'Schoen is not here, but L employed in the Office of
the State Chancellor, at Berlin. The keeping of the
Protocol, it is well-known, is confided to a Commit.
tee, composed of three Members of the Congress ;
but the digesting of it is exclusively consigned to
Von Gentz. The Saxon Minister at this Court,
Count Von Schulenburgh, and the Danish Minister,
Count Von Bernstorff, (brother to the Prussian Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs) have both been for some
days indisposed.
AUGSBUR9, DECEMBER le.
The ilhoresebstrg Corespondent contains the fol.
lowing Article relative to the affairs of Prussia :
" The investigation relative to treasonable prac-
tices, is prosecuted with the g&%atest activity by the
Commission appointed for that purpose. This Coni-
!mission, which, according to the prevailing opinion,
'waists ef the most upright men, experiences general
'confidence at*Berlin ; and the only wish is, that the
real truth may be brought to light. This confideoce
is founded on the persuasion, that thetommission
decidE according to jaw, and thus that slant:
and dread which outs before entertained for such a
Napoleonic Judicial Commission has vanished. See
viral persons, who wore among the first arrested,
have been set free. This has happened with respect
to the two students Lieber and Ulrich, and also Dr.
Jung. Whether these names are right, see ate OS
certain ; but this we know, that the student Wessel-
hat, of Jena, is bloomed. .The prisoners were very
well treated during their confinement, and will,
doubtless, when the investigation is completed, oh;
tain a public declaration of their honourable ac-
quittal. The investigation relative to Jahn is not yet
finished. As the public proceedings here are not yet
commenced, we can report nothing respecting the
-n Jahn, &Hanna,
and Yon Muhlenfels, are in Berlin. The wife of
Jahn is allowed to visit him. in the course of the
investigation the old relations of the formerly
'hown Tugeabund were reverted to, on mount •
which many individuals were accused. If, on
one band, this greatly prolongs the hams. on
other, so %blemish an inquiry lute all aeon*
stances is very praueivorthy ; his Iva or innoeendli
I will, thereby, certainly bis discofired.
,4 That the ILting and the Pei*, have an equal inr.
terest in this affair, is so obvious as to require no ftubi
beer observation. It is, therefore, mantel that the
dttentiou not only of the Prussian radial, but of
GermagitPubersny should be directed 10 due Camisole's,

" Hatfield House, December 16.
"4 The distresses of the manufacturing and labouring Poor,
cannot fail to interest every feeling and liberal mind; and among
treater measures which may be contanaplated for their relief,
it is at least a safe attempt in those'whose dress may contribute
to the maintenance of thousands, to ,give it the most beneficial
m tendev in their power. The diminished use of-straw hats and
of British lace, throws numberless women and families into dis-
tress, who have hitherto derived subsistence and comfort from
theic industry. The undersigned have therefore determined
immediately to give such orders as they latter themselve4 may
cut be altogether useless.

PA RIS I A N PAS H lON s.--The fa .shionableshave adopt-
ed white turbans for the Theatre and other public
places ; they are encircled by large bandeaus of pearl,,
some wear a diadem of precious stones, and some a
plume of bird of paradise feathers on one side. The
dress caps are extremely elegant; they have rows of
diamonds in front; some wear a diamond arrow,
ethers a profusion of various coloured feathers, at-
tached together by a bind of diamonds, and some a
profusion of pearls; the cap, for instance, entirely
covered with them. But the. head-dross, which has
excited and fixed attention, is one which is ornamented
with diamond butte, flies in front, a superb band of
diamonds, arid, behind, a superb comb of precious
stones, to imitate the rainbow' These very elegant
bead-dresses are chiefly worn by Ladies frequenting
the Court.
The following is a sketch gitten by a Liberal Joni-
nal of the state of parties in France:-" There art
not three parties, as the Ministerialists pretend—but
two. The Liberals are the party, of the Nation.
The Ultra-Royalists are an anti-national Oligarchy ;
but the Ministerialists are an extra-national coterie.—
the Charter is confided to its enemies—the freedom
of Religious Worship is proclaimed, and the Mis-
sionaries preach intolerance! The peasantry de-
mand laws, and they aregiven Monks 1 The giants
of this coterie are but the pigmies of the Imperial
Government; and because they were his subalterns,
they think they inherit the force of hienoLzotr—
like the page of the Duke of MattLeonouone who
thought he inheriied the skill and talents of that
great General, by putting the Duke's helmet on his
bead. The Ministers are still snore insultingly,
treated in the Royalist Journals; but they have places
and p-omises at command, and' those auxiliaries go
far to support a Government in France!"
Letters have been received from Cadiz; dated the
';11 instant. The fever had theft wholly disappeared
icota the city, but the seeds of disease were supposed'
to be still lurking in the neighbouring villages.—
Cadiz had been declared free from contagion, but
dean bills of health had not been issued, the sanc-
tion of the Supreme Board Of Health at Madrid being
previously necessary for that purpose. In the mean
time, vessel's were allowtd to enter and depart with-
out restraint. That the preparations for the Expe-
dition were about to be renewed, was inferred froth
the circumstance, that application had been made to
the suptircittgots to MALI some *essOs then in the
