FRANCE AND ENGLAND—THE
CONGRESS.
The following is an extract of a letter received
at Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, MONDAY.

The Emperor of the French, wishing to act with
the greatest loyalty towards England, requested
Lord Cowley to declare to the English Cabinet
that, although desiring an intimate understanding
with England on the basis of non-intervention, it
should be understood that France always considers
herself bound by the engagements of Villafranca
and the treaties of Zurich.

This reserve was maintained during the last
negotiations between England and France. The
assembling of the Congress is therefore still pos-
sible, its programme being founded on the treaties
of Zurich.

The Cabinet of the Tuileries has formally re-
sumed the negotiations concerning the Congress,
and has by telegraph already informed the Northern
Courts of this desire of Napoleon 111.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :
