present. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll,
Lord Clarendon, Sir G. Lewis, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr.

L ird Lansdowne was absent, the noble marquis having

mained on deliberation until near six o'clock. The
Marquis d'Azeglio, his Sardinian Majesty's Minister to
the British Court, pail a visit to Lord Clarendon at the
Foreign Office, Downing-street, after the breaking up of
the Cabinet Council.

THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS.-Although the Govern-
ments of France and England have not as yet received
from Austria the formal proposals, upon which alone
official action can he taken, it is not premature to an-
nounce that the Earl of Clarendon will assist at the
Conferences—which will be held at Paris—as Plenipo-
tentiary upon the part of the Queen of Great Britain.
The French Emperor proposed to the English Govern-
ment that London should be the place; the English
Government fixed on Paris, and expressed a hope that
no objection would be made. This choice has been
acquiesced in by Russia. The Russian Government has
fixed on M. Bruno' as its representative at the Confer-
ences. No intimation has been made to Prussia that her
acceptance of the Austrian Proposals is a sine qua non
to her admission to the Conferences. Prussia will be
left in the same inglorious loneliness in which her own
choice has placed her. Count Buol is spoken of as the
Austrian Plenipotentiary. Massimo d'Azeglio is named
as the representative of Piedmont.
