quaint you that dispatch has this morning been
received from the Earl Of Clarendon, dated Paris
March 80, announcing that defntve treaty for the

After cheers for the Queen, Army and Navy, and
the Allies, the spectators dispersed. sls as
At noon a large crowd assembled at the Exchange,
in expectation that the heralds would appear in full
pageantry, in days Of old, to proclaim peace. No
neappeared, however, except the Mayor, who again
read the above letter. At l o'clock the Tower and
Park guns fired salute of l0l. Flags were generally
displayed in the city, and fromhe shipping In other
cities the displays were made quietly and with
out enthusiasm
Parliament re-assembled on Monday evening March
81, and proceeded with ordinary routine business.
After the lapse of some time Mr. French said it was
without her Maestys Ministers condescending to in
form the House of the fact. gt
Lord Palmerston replied The House is perfectly
aware from the Gazette, that yesterday at o'clock,
treaty of peace was signed at Paris. [Cheers.] The
House will have. seen, by the announcement in the
Gazette that it was determined by the Congress that
the particular conditions of the treaty should not be
made public until the notifications had been exchang-
ed. And that, indeed, is the usual course, for it is
mark of obvious Difference to the powers who par
ties to the treaty. At the time without going
into any details Of the conditions the main substance
of which is already known to all the world because
it has been embodied in protocols and published in
every country Of Europe may say at least that my
conviction is, that the treaty of peace will be deemed
satisfactory by this country, and by Europe Cheers
Sir it will be found that the objects for which the war
was undertaken, have been fully accomplished! It
will be found that by the stipuatons Of that treaty,
the integrity and independence of the Turkish EN-
pire will be secured, far as human arrangement
can effect that purpose. [Cheersl 1t will be found
contracting parties to it, and trust that, while on
the one hand it has put end to war which every
friend of humanity must naturally have wished to see
concluded, the other hand it will lay the fonnda
tons of peace which ! trust, so far at least
CARDS the circumstances out of which the began,
will be lasting and enduring. Hear, hear.l
Sir, during the negotiations which have led to this
peace, am happy, to say that the III same cordality
which has prevailed among the Allies in carrying
the has also mainly contributed to the conclusion
Of peace and that shall leave off at the conclusion
of this war in stricter and closer alliance with
them-and in a more extended alliance than existed
during the continuance of the war and that, there
FORE the future permanence, not only OF good under
standing, but of intimate connexion of the great
| Powers of Europe, will have been cemented and
strengthened by the communications that have taken
place during the negotiations, [hear, hear.] Sir
have nothing more to say except that must be ga

have performed their arduous and difficult task during

Cowley have not only maintained the honor, dignity
and interests Of the country they represented but by
their conciiaory conduct have secured for themselves
and their country the respect, esteem and goodwill
of those with whom they had to do. The ratifica-
tions are to be exchanged soon as they can be
ceived at Constantinople and St. Petersburg. The
limitation of time has been four weeks, but should
hope that within three weeks the ratfcatons will be
exchanged at Paris [cheers.l e. @
