the Constitutionnel) speak of what has taken
place at the two sittings held by the Conference
on the Neuchatel question. Their remarks on the
subject can only be mere conjectures, as the pleni,
potentiaries have come to an understanding to keep
secret all the details of the negotiation. The repre-
sentative of Switzerland_ has not yet taken ary
part in the deliberations, because as long as the
only matter before the Conference was the principle
of renunciation 03 Swiss envoy was not convoked
to the sitt:ng, but he will be called on to take part
in the deliberations as soon as the details of the
question are entered on. The conferences will pro-
bably be resumed this week, and there is every
reason to hope that they will lead to a favourable
• result."
