The Paris papers assert that Eussia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweeden, Switzerland, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden, have, unreservedly accepted the Conference on the Eoman Question. Its acceptance by England and Prussia is probable. Munich is is proposed as the place of meeting. The new English Ambassador, Lord Lyons, has been well received by, the Emperor, who expressed his friendship for England. The French Exhibition was closed on the 3rd November without ceremony. • Prince Achille Murat, the Emperor's cousin, has fought a duel with the Marquis G-alliffet. The latter was wounded. The French vintage is unfavorable.
