THE PEACE CONFERENCE. hQ
Nothing definite had transpred respecting the
doings of the Peace Conference. All accounts,
however, agree almost certainly In predicting re-
suits favorable to peace Advices from Germany
and Russia bear the same tene. 1t was generally
rumored, indeed, that treaty of peace would be
signed on Saturday.
All the differences, however, between the seve-
raj powers have not yet been adjusted Several
important disputes have occurred respecting the
Danuban principalities, and the question touching
the Asiatc frontiers left still undecided as when
the Congress first met.
1t was rumored that the rectifcation of terrific
ry and the adjustment of other ged differ
ences are to be referred to commissioners on the
spot. The typographical details at hand are very
incomplete, and the projected frontier is neither
marked by streams nor mountain chains.
Mr.. Hatfield, the Prussian Minister at Paris,
would act as second plenipotentiary. The admis-
sion of Prussia is said to be specially based on the
ground that the discussion respecting the treaty Of
l84l, by which the Dardanelles were closed to
ships OF war is to begin forthwith.
ENGLAND 53
Admiral Napier has brought forward in Para-
ment his threatened motion inquring into the man
agement OF the Baltic feet while under his CON-
mand. He contended that he was sacrificed to
cover Sir james Graham's incapacity.
Sir James retorted by saying that Admiral Ma
pier was physically unfit. Also that his reputation
was higher than bis courage, and his courage than
Admiral Berkely also attacked Napier, who re-
torted. His motion was eventually withdrawn.
Lord Pamerston, in reply to a question in Par
lament, said that the papers relating to the dis
pute with the United States respecting Central
America would be presented soon after the Easter
recess, but he could not answer to those relating
to the enlistment difficulty, as no answer had been
received to the last despatch to the British Min
lister at Washington. aa .7at ba.
The Paris commercial letters continue to speak
with confidence of peace. They also mention that
the speculative mania increases, and that there is
more cause to fear that peace will bring a COM
mercial catastrophe than continuation of the war;
