ARTICLE 32.

" Until the treaties or conventions which existed before
the war between the belligerent powers have been either
renewed or replaced by new acts, commerce of importa-
tion or of exportation shall take place reciprocally, for
each of them, on the footing of the regulations in force
before the war, and in all other matters their subjects
shall be respectively treated upon the footing of the
most favonred nation.
ARTICLE 33.
" The Convention concluded this day between their
Majesties the Emperor of the French, the Queen of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the one
part, and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias
on the other part, respecting the Aland Islands, is and
remains annexed to the present treaty, and shall have the
same force and validity as it it formed a part thereof.

ARTICLE 34.
" The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifica-
tions shall be exchanged at Paris in the space of four
weeks, or sooner, if possible.
" In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries
have signed the same, and have affixed hereto the seal of
th sir arms.
" Done at Paris, &c."

The CongrePs further decides that the Treaty shall
terminate with the following additional and transitory
Article :

"ADDITIONAL AND TRANSITORY ARTICLE.

"The stipulations of the Convention respecting the
Straits, signed this day shall not be applicable to the
vessels of war employed by the belligerent Powers for
the evacuation, by sea, of the territories occupied by
their armies ; but thesaid stipulations shall resume their
entire effect as soon as the evacuation shall be termi-
nated."

All the articles having been read and approved, Count
Walewski proposes to the Congress to meet in the course
of to-morrow, in order to affix their initials to the Treaty
and to the Conventions which will be annexed to it. He
likewise proposes to fix Sunday, the 30th of the present
month, for the signature of the Peace.
The Conference agrees.
Count Walewski finally remarks that, upon signing
the Treaty of Peace, the Congress will not have arrived
at the conclusion of its labours ; that it must continue
to meet in order to settle all that relates to the cessation
of hostilities, and particularly to the blockades ; to pre-
pare the instructions designed for the Commission which
is to proceed to the Principalities ; and, finally, to agree
upon the arrangements to be adopted in order 0 insure
the evacuation of all the territories occupied by the
armies of the allied Powers.

The Congress consequently decides that it will con-
tinue to sit and to assemble at the place of its sittings.
(The signatures follow,)

PROTOCOL No. 19.—SITTING OF MAr.CEI 30, 1856.
Present.—The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France,
Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, and Turkey.
Having met together at noon in the saloon of their
deliberations, the Plenipotentiaries collate with the in-
struments which they had marked with their initials at
the preceding sitting-
1. The General Treaty of Peace ;
2. The Convention respecting the Straits ;
3. The Convention relative to the light vessels of war
which the Powers bordering on the coasts shall maintain
in the Black Sea ;
4. The Convention respecting the Aland Islands.
And all these Acts having been found in due form, the
Plenipotentiaries affix to them their signature and the
seal of their arms.

After which, and upon the proposition of Count Wa-
lewski, the Congress declares that the armistice, in con
sequence of the signature of peace, is prolonged till the
time of the exchange of the ratifications, and it is agreed
between the Plenipotentiaries of France, of Great Bri-
tain, of Sardinia, and of Turkey, on the one part, and the
Plenipotentiaries of Russia, on the other, that orders to
this effect shall be transmitted without delay.

The Congress further decides that the exchange of the
ratifications shall be made in six copies, that the Addi-
tional Article to the General Treaty shall be ratified in
the same instrument with tha General Treaty itself, and
that the' ratifications of that Treaty and of each of the
annexed Conventions shall be prepared in Separate Acts.
The Earl of Clarendon proposes to the Plenipotentia-
ries to proceed to the Tuileries to inform the Emperor
that the Congress has just concluded the work of pacifi-
cation in which His Majesty took a great interest, and
which Europe was awaiting with such lively impatience.
The first Plenipotentiary of Great Britain says, that
this proceeding, as regards the Sovereign of the country
in which the Congress is assembled, is at once a respect-
ful
provew
hieh the
expression of gratitude due to the great kindness and
gracious hospitality which the Plenipotentiaries, indivi-
-1"11Y and collectively, had met with on the part of His
Imperil Majesty. Lord Clarendon adds, that he feels
assured bef )rehand, that everything which might tend to
feelings of respect and high consideration with
the Plenipotentiaries are animated towards the
person of the Etup
eror Napoleon, will meet with the
