SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1856. OR THERIN TIMES. Plenipotentiaries will be entertained at a grand dinner by Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The illuminations last night , a ere very numerous, but on the Boulevards not so brilliant as they might have been. To-day some houses, here and there, have added to the French and English flags, with which•they are decorated, those of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. With the exception of the semi-official journals, only one, the Union, publishes an article on the peace. These papers are, of course, delighted. Strange to say, there has been rather a heavy decline on the Bourse to-day ; but this is owing to the state of the market. The Bank of France has reduced its rate of discount to 5 per cent. Although nothing is of much interest at present, apart from the peace, I may mention, that the Prince of Capua, husband of the famous Penelope Smith, is intriguing incessantly against his brother, the King of Naples ; also, that he wrote a pamphlet, so full of calum nies against him, that he could not find a printer to 1 1 print it.

I hear tort t he questions which remain to regulate one eorabl .important, though it has been determined to cote them as " mere matters of detail"—they are, I 3.4 1 ti on n S r Ured , those relative to the Black Sea, to the posi tv,_ Canals in its ports, to the Principalities, and to the internal regime of Turkey, as regards the Christians. ro Th e Congress has not held a sitting to-day.

It has alredy been stated, that the members of the Conference have still to perfect a number of secondary arrangements essential to the new state of relations to be established in the East. Le Nord says, that the organi sation of the Principalities is one of these reserved sub jects ; and the Debuts points out as another the special -regulations necessary for assuring the free navigation of the Danube. MARSEILLES, Tuesday.—Afif Bey embarked last night, from this port, bearing the treaty to Constantinople, for the ratification of the Sultan. A French officer of rank also embarked on a special mission to the Sultan from the Emperor of the French. Admiral Symonds died on his passage from Malta to Marseilles. BERLIN, Tuesday.—M. Vonder Keydt, yesterday, com municated to the Prussian Chambers the conclusion of the treaty of peace. The announcement was received with cheers. TUE OPERA AT BRUSSELS. —The Theatre de la Monnaie, the national opera house of the Belgians—which was burnt to the ground in 1854 with much the same sud denness and rapidity as Covent Garden Theatre—was reopened a few days since with great ceremony. The house was rebuilt at the expense of the townspeople ; and unanimous praise has teen accorded to the architect, M. Poelaert, who in a very short time has restored the edifice to even more than its ancient splendour.
