ADMISSION OF PRUSSIA TO THE CONFERSNCEI•
Lord PALM ItiTON• moved that the House at its rising, "

adkonm till Monday, the 31st inst.
Mr. DISRAELI availed himself of the opportunity. o rePe4
the question which he bad put to. the first lord or. the
-treasury 'yesterday, in reference to .the representation
Prussia in the conferendes at. Paris. It might be exoedient thab
ore
the negotiation should be secret, but he thought, there was t e
reason that the negotiations should be -known, In order th t
he
n
country might consider what-amount of confidence 0 place in it d,
Congress. The names' of negotiators could not he long once e els
as it appeared everithat an official announcement had been tnad ted
the Moniteur, that the Baron Ilfanteuffel war the person apP°i'-a
to represent Prussia, and he (es r. Disraeli) wished to knout lln
ea
the circumstances, upon what principle theinformation was refs is
to the British Parliament? He poked upon the admission of Prul,
to the Congress as a matter of congratulation, as it 'wag to be at
garded as an augury of peace and of a settlement of the
.issue. He pointed to the adiantages that would acc,ue a
participation of Prussia in a settlement of the war, and (eclat'. t
that no arrangement would be lasting, from which one of the Great
German Powers was excluded. , There had been stitemeets t, jit•
Prussia would be excluded bee !rise Russia requested that she ny be
be rerresented, but he held that such a feeling should not
allowed to prevent-that which the-interests of Europe der andel. a.
Lord PA LMERS tON vindicated the decision of the Confere%'..
to which he referred yesterday, remarking that .it wouldi'e ;1.5
tremely prejudicial to .the Conferences if their "proCeed offs Iv to
made the subject of questions founded upon rumour% of
newspapers, and the noble Lqrd added that it was the resolitil°loo,
secresy that 'dictated his rerly on the previous evening. - ay
however, no hesitation in informing the House that the stater',
that Prussia had been invited to. attend the Conferences was tt:o,!,
When the Conferences were first opened, it was considered tha tirce
Prussia had adopted an_ attitude of strict neutr, lity.. her as ist'rent
would not be reqnired in a settlement between the the
Powers. But part of the objectaf the Congress was to hoes
treaties of 1840 and 1841 !elating to the Straits of the Bosi
toutand Darianelies, to which Prussia was a parte ; and she was hot to
fore invited, not to take part in the negociations for peeee• sea
sanction the result of the negocia,ionre He bAieved that Pre
ter
had accepted the incitation. and tL e reports respecting the Mill"
appointed were, no doubt, true.
