TIIE TREATY OF PEACE-THE ADDER'S'S

TO THE CROWN.

The following is the Address which the Govern-
ment are to move in the House of Lords on M°ll.
day, viz. :
" That an humble address be presented to her Via'
jesty, to return to her Majesty the sincere acknowlecir
ments of that house for the important oommunicatic*
which her Majesty has bean gracious!y pleased to make
to that house, of the general treaty concluded at Paris,
on the 30th of March. between her Majesty, the Ea'
peror of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the Sill
of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Sardi-
nia, and the Sultan, by which peace has been re-esta-
blished between her Majesty, the Emperor of the French,
the King of Sardinia, and the Sultan, on the one band,
and the Emperor of Russia on the other.
" To assure her Majesty that while we should have
deemed it our duty cheerfully to afford her Majesty the
fullest support, if it had unfortunately been found neces-
sary to continue the war, we have learned with joy and
satisfaction that her Majesty has been enabled to re•
establish peace on conditions honourable to her Ma:
jesty's Crown, and which so fully accomplishes the gtee"
object for which the war was undertaken.
To express to her Majesty the great satisfaction
which we feel, that while those alliances which have
so mainly contributed to the vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war have been equally effective ill
the consolidation of peace, the powers which have not
taken any active part in the war have combined with,
the belligerents, and have given by their sanction and
acces ion additional firmness to the arrangements 131
which the repose of Europa is in future to be protected
from disturbance.
" To state to her Majesty we rejoice that, notwith
standing the great exertions which the late war has ren-
dered necessary, the resources of the empire ha"
remained unimpaired.
" To express a hope that the peace which is DOW COW
eluded may, under the favour of Divine Providence,
long continue to shed its blessings over Europe, and that
harmony amongst Governments, and friendly istercours:
amongst nations, may steadily promote the progress
civilisation, and secure the welfare and happiness a.
mankind."
