for money, which closed yesterday at SO 3-4, were
first quoted at SO 8-8 to 8s Ia whence, in conse-

were at SO 5-s to SO "a for money, and s8 "a for

mary Of their contents:
| The conference was opened at Vienna, on the
| 18th of March, by speech from Count Buol who
was unanimously placed In the chair. This address
was an exhortation to peaceful and conciliatory
sentiments among the penipotcntiaries but II
contained the important declaration, that the
Emperor of Austria had made up his mind on the
indispensable conditions of peace, and that nothing
not even the most serious consequences, would pre-
vent His Majesty from scrupulously adhering to the
engagement which he had contracted with his allies"
These conditions are the well-known four points,
which had been communicated TO the Russian En-
voy, who declared that he adhered 10 all the priI-
.cples laid down, Gncluding the putting an end 10
| the Russian prepondcrance in the Black Sea y and
was ready to adopt them as a point Of departure
for Che negotiations This definition was agreed
to by France and England who remarked, that
these principles we're to be regarded as beyond
discussion, and that the application OF them alone
| remained TO be determined
The order of the discussion was then fixed to
take--l, the Danubian Prncipalities; 2, the navi-
ealon efthe Danube; g. the Limitation Of the power
of ISuscia IN the Black Sea and q, the status Of
the Christian subjects Of the Porte. =

The question Of the Danube navigation was In
like manner settled without much difficulty. Rut.
sin protested that she had never contested or or.
posed the commercial freedom Of the river, and
that the obstacles which had arises proceeded from
natural causes only To which remark-Baron Pre-.
kesch drily replied that, although he In no respect
questioned the good intentions of the Russian gov
ernment on this subject it unfortunately happened
that the results were incontestaby at variance with
| her professions. The arrangement eventually
| agreed upon provided that the principles estab-
lshed In 1878 with reference TO the other navgablc
rivers OF Europe should be applied to the Danube
and guaranteed by all tho Powers, and that com.
mission of all the Great Powers should be appointed
TO take all the necessary steps for the opening and

sa agreed not 70 reestablish her quarantine tho

On the 2sth Of March the Plenipotentiaries ar.
rived at tho discussion Of tho third point, upon
which Count Buol proposed that tho Ministers OF
Russia and OF Turkey should In the first instance
be requested 10 state respectively to the conference
the means by which they proposed to give effect
TO this general stipulation. This courteous pro.
position was asscnted 10 by France and England,
but declined by Prince Gortschakofr, who stated
that he was not In condition 10 take the course
suggested by Count Buol, and an adjournment
was then agreed upon for the purpose Of allowing
time for All Pasha TO arrive from Constsntinope,
NJ. Drouyn do rHuys from Paris, and further in
struetions from St Petersburg Austria urged the
expedepcy Of proceeding in this interval Of time
to the discussion Of the fourth point and Russia
strongly supported this opinion; but the French
and English Envoys were ordered by their respec.
| tive governments TO abstain from discussing the
last point until the third had been settled.
