 ment of peace between Russia and the allied powers. The following we clip from the New Orleans Picayune of the 18th inst
 < A private telegraphc despatch was received yes terday by friend of ours, conveying the positive in formation that the treaty of peace between the ahes and Russia had been signed at Paris. The date of signature must have been probably on the 29th Of March, the day on which the Cambria lott Liverpool. Immediately prior to her sailing, Lon don house, whose sources of information are of the very best, telegraphed tine important fact to Liver pool, with instructions advise their friends in the United States of the actual termination cf the war
 We have every reason to believe in the entire re- liability and correctness of this news"
 And the following from the Memphis Ap- peal of the 2Oth:
 ''' CONGRESS AT PARIs.-March 3oth, 1856. Peace signed this day o'clock. at the ministry of of foreign affairs. The plnipotentiarics of France, Austria, Great Britain. Russia Sardinia and Turkey have affixed their signatures to il paper that puts an end to the present by settling the ques tion of the east and cS abliSng on a sound and lu- rable basis.-PICTosE, Prefect of the Police'
 < The penipotentiarics will meet during the pre- sent week, as before, for the settlement of other mat ters of a light and unimportaut character which have not been acted upon yet"
 England, it is reported, is not well satisfied with the terms of the treaty-she however as- sumes smiling countenance and acquiesces in them. She bows to the will and superior wis. dom of Louis Napoleon as a matter of course. Lord Clarendon said in the House of Lords: that the peace was one which great nation might propose and a great nation might with honor accept"
 And so the eastern war; is at an end.- Millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives have been thrown away and still the case of the " sick man" is undisposed of Fur key has only changed her foes. Russia has been forced to retire, while England and France step forward. Whatever the intentions of Russia may have been towards the estate of the sick man." those of the allied powers, we are confident, will not be less avaroious. In the future, Turkey will be nothing more than dependency upon their will. Unless there is falling out in the division of the spells, Turkey will soon be swallowed up and known only in history
 But the treaty has been signed and Europe is at peace. England and France will now possess the leasure, if they have the inclination. to extend their views into other quarters The sooner they make known their pretentions on this side of the water, the sooner the present difficulty about Central American affairs will be disposed of. This government can never yield Its present position. It has the ability and the nerve to protect its rights and interests.
 When the English government considers seriously the difficulties growing out of her of the Clayton Bulwer treaty when it considers the calamitous consequent ces of a war with the United States, we doubt not it will be disposed to a peaceful settle ment. We have little fear, at present, of war with either England or France, or with both of them cnrnL;nal
