The London Times Paris corrospo ndence says:
ssA Council of Ministers was held at the Tull-
lcries at IL l-2 o'clock and remained sitting till
lat The Emperor presided, and gave his last
and Count W aIewski returned to
his official residence to receive the Peaipotenti-
aries They appeared in full uniform, andworc
all their orders and decorations. They assem-
bled in the Sale de Conferences before IL l-2,
and after the treaty was read over proceeded to-
sign it in the same alphabetical order in which
they have been won't to take their places during
the Conferences. Crowds of people have been
out from an early hour, as it twas known some
thing important was to occur, and numerous
crowds of spectators gathered on the quays OPP
positc and close to the Foreign office to see the
pIenipotentiaries pass. These were received,
both on going and returning, with marks ofgreat
respect from the people. Everything took place
as mentioned.
'sThe moment the signatures were completed
the expected signal was given, and the cannon
from the csp!anade of the Invalids proclaimed
the news before the PIenipotcntigries ACQUITTED
the hail. Soon after the following notice was
posted up on the walls of Paris:

at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Plcni-
potentiarics of France, Austria, Great Britain,
Prussia, Russia, Sardinia and Turkey, have at
fixed their signatures to the treaty which puts
an end to the present war, and which by settling
the question of the East establishes the rcpose
Of Europe on solid and durable bases.
"PIRrRE, Project of Police"
sSThis notice was read by thousands with in
tense curiosity and with great satisfaction. Soon
aftera appeared supplement to the Manlteur con-
tanning the same announcement The effect pro-
duced is of course all that could be immagincd.

much more strongly expressed had it not been
that for two or three days past the conclusion
was confidently expected for this day.
''The weather is fine, the sky serene, the sun
warm and undimmed, and all the thoroughfarcs
arc thronged with people. Already preparations
are made for the illuminations of tonight, which
it is expected will rival the display the birth
of the imperial prince. l should not omit the
coincidence that the Countess Walewski, wife of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs and President OF
the Congress, was delivered of a girl this morn
ing at = o'clock, only three or four hours before
her husband affixed his signature to the treaty of
peace.
sThe Plenipotentiaries will continue to meet
during the present week, as before, for the set
Element of other matters not of light or unim-
porant character, which have not yet been set
tied. They and the resident members Of the di-
plomatic corps dine, in full uniform, with the
Minister of Foreign affairs tomorrow. The trca-
ty will not be made public until the exchange OF
the notifications, and as COnstantinOple and St
Petersburgh are distant from Paris the PlenlPo-
tentiaries remain still bound by their obligation
of silence for two or three weeks to come
SPEECH OF TIE EMpEROR.
The Times Paris correspondent writes that,
when the news of the signing of the treaty was
announced to the Emperor, he expressed him
self to the following ettcct:-He thanked the
Plenipotentiaries for having come in person to
4 nsNtNS V-tvuI
that the result of their labOrs during the confer
cnccs, was the complete realization of the speech
delivered by Lord Clarendon in the House of
Lords and that the peace which the allies were
determined on concluding was one which car
ricd with it no humiliation to Rusela and which
did not compromise the dignity or independence
Of any one 1t was, III fact, such rs great ma
ton might propose or accept without degrcda-
ton; and it, therefore, had all the elements of
soidity and durability. And, lie added, that SO
favorable a result was, in great measure Ow-
ing to the conciliatory spirit and the modcra
ton which marked the policy of England, and
which was particularly felt in the course of the
present conferences.
The same writer says thcreare otherQucstions
of paramount interest pending, and would not
be proper for the PlcnipOtentiarics to leave with
out taking them into consideration: 81 under
stand that Lord Clarendon has no intention of
quitting Paris for the moment believe am
notin the slightest degree mistaken when state
that the best feeling prevails here among all
classes and almost all parties, at the conduct of
England throughout; and the impression is that
the peace will befound honorable for all concern
ed, and satisfactory.
PROCLAMATION OF THE PEACE IL ENGLAND.
On Monday, the 30ti, the Lord Mayor Of Lon
don, accompanied by the civic officers appeared
in citizens costume on the portico OF the Man

After cheers for the Queen, Army and Navy,
and the Allies, the spectators dispersed.
At noon large crowd assembled at the En-
change, in expectation that the Heralds would
appear in fullpagcaatry, as in days of old. to

except the Mayor, who again read the above let
ter. At o'clock the Tower and Park guns fired
n salute ofl6l. Flags were generally displayed
in the city, and from the shipping. III other
cities the same displays were made quietly and
without enthusiasm.
FLOUR AND BREAp.-A correspondent of the
Scientific American q. Royal, Bridgcton, n. j.
