PARIS, Feb. 29,-The Congress has not mat
to-day; il will sit tomorrow. There is a Tu-
mored break up of the Conference, and CON
siderable agitation in the money market.
From the London Morning Advertiser, March /.
Ii is deemed not improbable that the result
of the new moves of The arllul diplomatists Of
Russia Inay be the immediate breaking up OF
the Conference. A very grave hitch in the
Conference has already occurred.
Though the fifth point Is the last Of all, it
had been agreed 10 take it first. Ii was, &C
cordingly, on the second meeting of the Con.
ference, submitted for the consideration Of the
Plenipotentiaries. No sooner had it been for
mally laid on the table, than Count Orloff and
Baron Brunow took objections To its being
taken into consideration, with a view to it,
being decided by the Conference They pro
posed that it should be referred to a Congress
of the Representatives of all the crowned heads
IN Europe, and if SO referred, they pledge them
selves, in the name of the Gar, TO abide by
whatever decision that Congress might come
10. This new and unexpected phase in the
Eastern question has produced CONSERVATION in
Paris, and caused further fall in the French
funds. IL has also surprised and alarmed our
own Government.
We were informed last night that Lord Cow
ley is expected in London this afternoon, 20
take the Instructions of bis Government GU the
subject.

"a number of rumors were circulated that
the Conference at Paris had taken an untayor-
able turn, and as some persons were ready to
believe that all the precautions that were taken
for secrecy had merely proved useless against
the means Of information possessed bya lew OF
the speculative dealers ia the stock exchange,
u fall occurred Of more than one per cent; bat
az the close OF business approached, aud none
of the rumnrs put forth received confirmation,

the London Stock Exchange, the PARIS money
market may be considered 10 have exhibited
great hrmness."
THE EUROPEAN TREATIE- OF 1915 To BE Re-
vIsED.-The Paris Constitutional, in an arti-
Gle headed "The Holy Alliance indicates that
the Congress viii not occupy itself exclusively
with the subjects arising out OF the war, aud
says:
ut is not impossible that certain important
events, which, since 1880 have modified the
state of EuroPe-as il was defined by the Con
gress at Vienna-wii engage the attention OF
the Conference at Paris"
The article goes on TO intimate that the
treaties of 1915 will be essentially remOdeIed.
The Paris Pdtrie takes the same strain, aud
quotes also All article Ia the same effect from
the Journal, of Frankfort, endeavoring to
prove that the present Conference will oblite-
rate all vestiges nf the once famous alliance
against France. The Pdtrie adds:
Revolutionary propagaudlsm has long made
hn instrument OF the revision Of the tDeates
uf 1915, abusing, as in many other instances, "A
patriotic and national idea, 10 turn into an ele.
lneut Of disorder. But now, thanks 10 the inn
perlal policy, thanks 70 the success OF our
arms, thanks to the confidence that France ia
spires throughout the continent, from the Wis
dom as well as strength OF the Government, II
is now in the name of conservative ideas that
