Several Governments, including that * of Ffan?e,1 have sent favorable replies with' certain reservations to tho invtt'a I tion of the Czar to take part in the in ternational law eonferenoe to be held here. Paris, December 9.?In conformity with' the resolution adopted by the American Congress, on the 22d of June last, Mr. Washburn, the Uuited States Minister, to-day handed to M. Oscar Do LaFayette, Deputy in tho National Assembly from Seiue et Marne, and the grand-son of Marquis Do LaFay ette, the watoh Washington -presented to the latter as a souvenir of the ca? pitulation of Lord Comwallis. The watoh was atolun from Marquis De LaFayetto while he was travelling in the Uuited States in the year 1825, bat was rooovered in later years. The presentation ceremonies took pluoe at the hotel of the American Embassy, in tho presence of the entire LaFayotte and other families, the attachecs of the United States Legation, and many distinguished Americans. Mr. Wash bum, in addressing M. De LaFayette, spoke in the French language. He narrated the circumstances of tho theft of the watch, and the passage by Con? gress of a resolution for its restoration to the descendants of Marquis De La? Fayette, and said: "I am fulfilling a sweet duty. The inscription on the watch rooalh to my mind great deeds, which can never be effaced from the history of the United States, and par? ticularly the deed which terminated the American revolution and aaaom ?fished the independence of the United tates. I am here as the interpreter of the sentiments or the Government and people of the United States to? ward yon and other descendants of Marquis De LaFayette. Let ua form earnest wishes for the happiness and prosperity of all bearing your honora? ble name, and with these wishes let ns associate Franoe, who was allied with the United States, who is our tradi? tional friend, and whose glory is so doar tons." M. Da LaFayette, in re? ply to Mr. Washbnrne, solemnly ac? knowledged his thinks for the relio presented to him by the United States Congress. He also thanked Waahburn for the kind words he had nttered, and added that the LaFayette family were filled with profound gratitude for the sympathy and membrances which havo been preserved for their ally by the Americans after so many years. He requested Mr. Washburn to express to the Amerioanpeople and to thuir Con? gress and Government the thanks of the LaFayette family, and their ho? mage and admiration for their country. Berlin, December 9.?Tho trial of -Count Yon Arnim was begun to-day. The court room was densely crowded. Fifty persons of various nationalities were present, nnd Judge Bioh an? nounced that the court bad decided that the proceedings should be public except the reading of documents rela? tive to the ecclesiastical policy of the Government, whioh includes papers of the firut class mentioned in the indict? ment. Herr Munokle, of counsel for defence, notified the conrt that he had entered a protest, denying a compro? mise of this tribunal to try the cuse. The prosecution then read the indict? ment. It accuses the Count of dere? liction in his offioial doty, doacribes his age, occupation, Ac, until bis reoall from Paris, and says that when Prince Hohnlohe succeeded to tho Embassy at Paris he found after strict search that a large ncmbor of documents were missing from its archives. Theso documents tho indictment divides into three categories?first, those whioh Count You Arnim confesses having abstracted and af tor wards restored; Booond, those whioh the Count ac? knowledged having taken, but whioh, regarding as his private property, he refused to restore; third, those whioh he professes to have no knowledge of. The indictment asserts that the docu? ments which were not entered never reaohed the archives, and that the greater part of the missing doeumonts were not entered. Then follows an enumeration of the documents of the first class, and copies of the corres? pondence of the foreign office with Count Yon Arnim, whioh resulted in their restoration. The indictment re? futes the idoa that the Count took theso documents merely for the pur? pose of restoring them to the foreign office. Tho indictment also enume? rates tho documents of tho second class, among which is a despatch dated November 8, 1872, asking the Count to explain the conversation in whioh, according to a private report of Gon. Manteuffol, he (the Count) informed St. Vallieaa, at Nancy, that he regard? ed M. Thiers* Government as untena? ble. The indictment proceeds to prove the official character of all the docu? ments, and states that they were partly communications from tho German fo? reign olliao to its representatives abroad, and partly reports of repre? sentatives of the foreign office. Each document, an original draft of whioh is in the possession of foreign offices, ia numbered and entered in the official register. If some of the documents contain additions of a personal, social or confidential nature, their official character is in no wise thereby at? tested. Autograph letters of Princo Bismarck arc not in question. Count Yon Arnim kept three journals of tho correspondence sent and reooived, in accordance with tho regulations ci service, bat during the last month of his stay at Paris secretly kept a jour? nal with new entry numbers. London, December 10.?The storm of yesterday was very disastrous to shipping. A number of vessels are ashore at Whitley, and one reported to have sunk, with all on board.
