THE PEACE CONFERENCES.

We believe it is now decided that the Peace
Conferences are to be held at Paris. The French
Government proposed London as the seat of the
Conferences, but the English Cabinet preferred they
should be held in Paris. After the preliminaries are
signed, we believe we cau state with perfect confi-
dence that the interests of Great Britain will be
confided to the Earl of Clarendon, Count Orloff
and Baron Brunow will represent Russia, Count
Buol and Count Valentine Esterhazy, Austria, and
Count Massimo d'Azeglio, Sardinia. Various
names have been mentioned as those likely to take
part in the important proceedings on the part of
the other Powers, but as we can trace them to no
reliable authority we forbear mentioning them.
