The .Moniteur announces that the conference closed
its sittings on Thursday. The notifications will be
exchanged / at the end Of April. Soon after the pro
mitigation of the general treaty, the protocols VIII
be published, and viii make known the labors OF the
Congress in detail. The questions considered at the
last sitting were. 1. Free navigation of the Danube.
2. Interior regime Of the principalities, and arrange
ment of the frontiers. 8. Situation of Christians IN
Turkey. For these purposes three commissioners are
appointed. The Lord Mayor Of London entertained
Mr.. Dallas on Thursday, at the Mansion House, IN
honor of his arrival as Minister of the United States.
Two hundred guests were present. The Lord Mayor
toasted Mr.. Dallas, prefacing it, and followed 10y q
speech full of generous sentiments toward America,
and regretting that any question should ever arise
between the two countries that should threaten. the
dreadful alternative of war. The Mayors toast was:
"IHe health OF Mr.. DGLdS, and prosperity to the
great Republic to which he has the honor to belong.''
Mr.. Dallas made a ~felicitous reply, reciprocating
the generous sentiments of the Lord Mayor, and assu-
ring him that ne was not authorized to feel and did
not feel any desire other than that of giving his best
energies and eXertions unreServedly to the restoration
of the most harmonious sentiments and friendly rela-
tions.
Other speeches were made, at the conclusion of
which Mr.. Dallas gave:
s. The health Of the Lady yMayoress."
The Lord Mayor responded, telling Mr.. Dallas he
was authorized by the Lady Mayoress to say that if
his diplomacy equaled his g%aIlantry, there could be
no fear for the success OF his mission.
In the House of Lords, Lord Panmure, in reply to
Earl Elgin's question touching reports that large DO
dies of troops, and quantities of ammunition were
about to be dispatched to Canada, said it was true
government contemplated doing so, but the impression
that they were to be sent there for purposes of ag-
erosion was entirely without foundation. Government
intended only to replace troops, stores, and munition

at the Peace Congress in Paris having ratified the
terms of the treaty, the Congress was dissolved on the
10th, and the members composing it were preparing
to return to their respective homes. But the dissolu-
ton of the Peace Congress does not give absolute peace
to Europe; there was one awkward subject which
could not be disposed of, and which will require an
other Congress to settle. This subject is the Italian
question; the Pope, the King Of Naples and Austria,
have yet to be compelled to treat the Italians with
that degree of justice and moderation which will pre-
vent another revolution IN that unhappy la a..
The French Emperor is said to be anxious for an
other Congress to dispose of the Italian difficulties,
and as he has the power to compel the acquiescence
of the other Governments in his wishes, there is no
doubt that another Congress will be held.
The Cabinet of Vienna is bent on occupying every
corner of Italy where political excitements can be got
up, as an excuse for their presence. Events in Italy
are daily increasing in interest.
1t is quite possible that the Duke of Tuscany will
again be compelled to demand German troops, and an
additional Austrian force is under orCers for the Roman
States, and the garrisons of Lombardy are to be in
creased. Austria evidently intends to permanently
occupy as much of Italy as she can, in order to insult
and intrigue against Sardinia.
In fact Austria is at war with Piedmont, although
the armies are not face to face, and it is impossible to
say what event may bring about a fresh struggle-that
struggle cannot long be delayed. Austria, however,
will strive to put off the quarrel on the field until the
policy and attitude of France and England towards
Italy no longer coincide. The work towards a division
has already commenced in Paris. NJ. Buol seems to
persuade the Emperor that any change in Italy would
end in open revolution.
A Sandman paper gives the following-it says
from an authoritative source-as the articles of the
treaty Of Paris
1. Naturalization of the Black Sea, in which Rus
STA is allowed to maintain armed vessels for the de
fence of the coast.

the Black Sea and the Baltic.
4. MISREPRESENTATION of Bomarund.
5. Russia gives up a portion of Bessarabia, includ-
ing the fortress of Ismail.
6. Renounces the exclusive proteetorate of the Prin-
c%ipalities; and

8. The Danube is open to the flags of all nations.
8. A commission is to be sent to the Principa1itie:
to examine the state of public opinion and the wan
of the country, and to study and to fix the frontier
of Bessarabia.
VIENNA, FRIDAY. The Emperor signed the ratifca,
ton of the Treaty on the 10th of April.
From our English papers we are enabled to pre-
pare the following additional news:
The ministerial defeat in the British House Of Com
mons took place ON the 10Th of April, when the Hous
