THE CONFERENCE,

---~----

The GalferOlJCG met yesterday at cue o'clock.
All the members were present, Cowtiderable dis-
cussion took place, and the meeting lasted until
four o'clock, when it was adjourned until SAtur&y,
the 2Sth inst.—a very long postponement core,ider-
ing the gravity of the situation both at home and
abroad. As the term of the suspension of hostilities
nears its end the public anxiety as to the turn
matters are likely to take naturally increases. We
understand, however, with regret, that the Confe-
rence has up to the present moment made little or
no progress towards a pacific result ; and that the
views of the belligerent powers are as irreconeile-
able as ever. We have good reason to believe that
Prussia and Austria have formally announced that
the war has put an end to the treaty of 1852. The
neutral powers, equally parties to that treaty, have
now therefore to decide whether they will allow
this bold violation of a solemn engagement to be
carried out with impunity.—lleralcl.
