II, and remained till y.
The Emperor presided, and gave his
last instructions, and Count Walowski re-
turned to his official residence to receive
the plenipotentiaries. He came at half
past y, and after the treaty was read
over to them, proceeded to sign it.

ENGLAND.
Parliament re-assembled on the Slst Of
March. In reply TO a question, Lord
Palmerston said, that though Treaty of
Peace had been signed, yet it was deter
mined by the Congress that the particu-
lar conditions of the treaty should not be
made public until the Publications had
been exchanged; at the same time he
would express his conviction that the
treaty will be deemed satisfactory BY Eng
land and by Europe.
1t would be found that the objects for
which the war had been undertaken had
been accomplished fully. 1t would be
found that the integrity and independence
of the Turkish empire had been secured ;
it would be found that the treaty is hon
orable to all contracting powers, and that
while on the one hand it has put an end
TO war, which every friend to humanity
must have naturally wished to see con-
Guided, on the other hand it viii lay the
foundation of a peace which, he trusted,
would be lasting and enduring.

from the portico of the Mansion House,
and afterwards at the Exchange.
