The steamer Baltic arrived at New York

Peace has been formally proclaimed, amid
salvos of artillery at London and Paris
Paris was illuminated, and in England the
church bells were pealed. Four weeks will
elapse before the full notifications are ex-
changed. The treaty was signed at 124
O'Clock on Sunday, the Emperor having
previously given his final instructions to
| Count Walewski.
| The English Parliament would reassem-
BILE on the 31st. Lord Palmerston, in answer
to question as to the conditions of the
treaty, replied that they would not be made
public till notifications were exchanged, ct
the same time expressing the opinion that
the terms would be satisfactory to England
and to Europe.
Lord PalmerstOn said that the objects of
the war had been fully accomplished. The
integrity and independence of the British
Empire had been secured, and a treaty
honorable to all parties effected. The news
of peace was duly honored in England by
official demonstrations, but the people re-
ceived it with no enthusiasm.
The state of siege in Parma continued,
Austrian Governor-over 800 arrests had
been made.
On Mondry morning peace was proclaim
ed by the Lord Mayor of London, both at
the Mansion House and at the Royal Ex-
change. The ceremony attracted an i'm
mense concourse of persons, who testified
their joy by cheering and waving of hats
and handkerchiefs. A large number of
persons assembled in the park, and as the
boom of the guns burst upon the stiffness
of the Sabbath night, the crowd gave vent
| to its joy in repeated cheers. The bells of
several metropolitan churches rang merry
peals until after midnight.
Mr.. Dallas, our new Minister, has been
most fatteringly received in London. He
dined with the Premier day or two after
his arrival, and various other fetes were
given in his honor. 1t was, it is said,
through our Minister'S intervention with
Lord Palmerston that Mr.. Oakford's sug-
gestion to send out steamers in search of
the Pacific was acted upon. The latter
gentleman's previous application ON the
subject TO the Admiralty had met with a
refusal.
Mr.. Dallas in a letter just received here
says that the subject of the difference be-
tween the English Government and the
United States will be fully discussed in
Parliament. He is led to believe that the
discussion will not be devoid of acrimony
towards this country, but he is prepared to
bear it like q philosopher. He mentions
with particularly numerous acts of marked
courtesy extended him, including those of
members of the Cabinet; and he regards
these manifestations as expressive of a
peaceable disposition towards this country.
The following are said to be the heads of

duced to a commercial port. Fourth

Sixth-A commission to be appointed to
trace new frontiers in this district. Seventh
Russian soldiers passing the Pruth to be
regarded as casuS beLLi by the constructing
powers"
A letter from Rome, of the Goth March,
says:
Qceen Christina, the Duke of Hesse
Cassel, and Mr.. Fillmore, ex-President Of
the United States, are now here for the teteS
of the Holy Week. The Princess del
Drago, daughter of Queen Christina, having
received a marriage portion of two millions
of francs, there is no want of suitors for one
of her sisters who is unmarried. Two Roman
Princes, the Duke del Fiano and the Duke
del Rioni, are among the suitors, those who
are considered to have the best chance of
success.
Mr. Fillmore had returned to the latter
city from Naples. Mr.. Cass was to enter
tain him at splendid banquet, to which all
the leading Americans in Rome and the
high dignitaries of the Church were invited.
Mr.. Fillmore was to leave on the day after
for Florence, Milan and Venice. Marked
attention had been shown the ex-President
by the Pope and the King of Naples.
Mr.. Buchanan has passed through Paris
on his way to the Hague. His intention was
