when it is considered that there are twelve nego-
tiators assembled in Paris, sn1 that the task of
copying or drawing up the minutes can only be
entrusted to confidential hands, it is easy to un-
derstand that the Conference, if any amount Of
discussion does take place, cannot get through
their allotted work at railway speed-still less
keep pace with the public's 'impstiencv, and ay.'
The Opinione Of Turin, of the lst, in leading
article, considers it certain that the Fifth Point
now under discussion for the establishment Of
peace, will receive far greater extension than
was supposed fortnight back and that the ques-
ton Of the balance Of Europe will be brought for
ward in addition to the Eastern difficulty. In
that case, it contends tho state of Italy will most
particularly engrosss the attention Of the plsni-
poteutiaries, and especially the occupation Of the
Roman states BY foreign troops. 1t says:
"France has, during that occupation, constant
ly had to struggle not only against papal admin
istration, but against Austrian pretensons. Aus
tria possesses the Lombardo Venetian provinces
she has Parma, Modena and Tuscany under her
dependence; let her keep possession Of the Roman
States but short time longer, and she will at
tempt to make that possession permanent. This
the representatives at Paris will certainly not lose
sight Of"
On the 29th Of February, at Conference held
at the Traktir-bridge, in the Crimes, between the
chiefs Of the staff Of the allied armies and gen.
eral delegated by the Commander-in-Chief of the
Russian army, it was decided that there should be
complete suspension Of hostiities.
BERLIN, Tuesday.-On the receipt of a message
from Count Orlof that prelimnaries Of peace had
been signed, declaration of approval WAS this
day transmittedthrough the telegraph by the Car.
France.
The French Legislative Assembly was opened
on Monday, March 8. The following is the speech
of the Emperor:
The last time convoked you, our minds were
occupied with matters of grave Importance. The
allied armies were exhausting themselves at
siege where the obstinacy of the defence made
success doubtful. Europe, hesitating, seemed to
await the end of the struggle before pronouncing
itself. To carry on the war, asked Of you
loan which you granted unanimously although it
may have appeared extensive.
The high price Of provisions threatened to cause
general distress among the laborng classes and
t. perturbation in the monetary system gave rise
to fears Of slackenng Of commercial transactions
and of labor.
Well, thanks to your support, as well as to the
energy displayed in France and England-thanks,
above all things, to Providence-those dangers,
if they have not entirely disappeared, have, most
of them at least, been averted.
A great deed Of arms has decided desperate
struggle, unexampledi in history, in favor Of the
allied armies
Since that moment the opinion Of Europe has
pronounced itself more openly.
On all sides our alliances have been extended
and strengthened.
The third loan was subscribed without difficulty.
The country has given me new proof Of its con-
fdence by subscribing 8 sum FIVE times the amount
I demanded. 1t has supported with admirable
resignation the sufferings inseparable from 3
dearness Of provisions-sufering alleyiated, how
ever, by private charity by the zeal Of the munich
pal authorities, and by the ten million frsncs dis
tributed in the departments. At the present mo-
ment the arrivals Of foreign corn have caused q
sensible fall The fears arising from the scarcity
OF gold have diminished, sndlabor was never more
active, nor the revenue more considerable.
The changes Of war have aroused the military
spirit Of the nation. At time were voluntary
enlistments 80 frequent, or 60 much srdor display
cd by the recruits designated by lot.
To this brief statement of the situation facts Of
high political Specification must be added.
The Queen of Great Britain, desirous of giving
proof Of her conhdence-of her esteem for our
coantry-to render our relations more intimate,
visited France The enthusiastic welcome she
met with must have convinced her how deep was
the sentiments inspired by her presence, and that
they were ofa nature to strengthen the alliance Of
the two nations
The King Of Piedmont, who without looking be-
hind him, embraced cur cause with that brave
warmth which ho had already shown on the battle
field, also came to France. to consecrate the I'm.
ion already oemented by the bravery of his sol-
diers. These sovereigns were enabled to see
country 80 agitsted and disinherted of its rank in
the council of Europe, now prosperous peaceful
and respected, waging war not with the momenta-
ry delirum of passion, but with the calmness, JUS
tice and energy of duty. They beheld France,
while sending 200 900 men beyond the seas at the
same time convoke all the best of peace at Paris as
if she wished to say to Europe, 'Ths present war
IS only an episode for me; my ideas and my
strength arc in part always directed towsrds the
arts Of pence; let neglect nothing to understand
each other, and not compel me to throw all the
resources and all the energy of great nation into
the lists of battle"
That appeal seems to have been heard; and win
ter, by suspending hostities, favored the inter-
ven,ion by diplomacy.
Austria resolved upon taking decisive step,
which brought into the deliberation all the inau-
ence of a sovereign of vast empire.
Sweden entered into closer connections with
England and France, By q treaty which guarsn-
teed the integrity Of her territory. Finally, coun-
sci or entrcaties were sent to st. Petersburg from
MI the cabinets.
The Emperor of Russia, who had inherited
situation he had not made, appears guided BY
sincere desire to put an end to the cause which
had occaaioned this sanguinary conflict. He reg
olutely accspted the proposition transmitted BY
Austria
