Mr.. French said it without precedent that
the war should be concluded without her Ma es
tvs Ministers understanding to inform the House
Of the act.
LoRp PALMERsroN, replied The House is
perfectly aware from the Gazette that yesterday
ut O'Clock treaty Of peace was signed at Paris
[Cheers. The House will have seen Ivy the an
nouDcement in the Gazette that it was determn.
cd by the Congress that the particular conditions
Of the Treaty should no, be made public until
the ratifcalions had been exchanged, and that
indeed, ~ tho usual course, for il Ii mark of Oh
vious Difference to the Powers who nre parties to
the treaty.
At the same time without going into any de.
tails Of the conditions, the main substance of
which is already known TO all the world,
because il has been embodied in protocols. aud
published in every country of Europe, | mny say
ut least that my conviction is, that the treaty of
pence will be deemed satisfactory by this
try and by Europe. ICheers. Sir. it will be
found that the objects FOR which the was un
dertaken have been fully accomplished. 1t will be-
found that by the stpulatons of that treaty the in
tegrity aud independence of the Turkish Empire
effect that purpose. Cheers.
Ii will be found that the treaty is honorable to
all the Powers who are contracting parties to
it, aud | trust that while on the ono hand it
has put an end to u war which every friend to
humanity must naturally have wished to con
euded, the other hand 1t will lay tho founda.
tons of peace which trust. 40 far, at least
as regards the crcums stances out of which tho
war begun, will be lasting and enduring. Hear,
hear.
The ratitcations are to DO exehang
ed IA they can be received at Constant
noplo and st. Petersburg. Tho limitation of time
has been 4 weeks, but should hope that Within
three weeks tho notifications are to be exchanged
in Paris Cheers.

SECRETS OF THE PEACE CONGRESS-.
| Correspondence Of the London Times
1t is stated that clause favorable to SARDINIA
| has been inserted in the protocols This clause
has reference to the conner oial interest OF Pied
| mont in connection with the Danube. Coun,
| Cavour, it is said demanded .hat Sandman yes
| sells on entering or quitting. on ascending or de
scending the Danube, suffer no impedienis of any
| kind Count Buol is described having otferet
some opposition to the demand OF the Sardiniar
Government for these immunities, which wcr,
also supported by the Marquis de Villa Marina
the resident Sandman Minister in Paris.
They were favorably viewed by England ant
| France and even by Russia, who does not om
| any opportunity Of showing her resentment to he
| former friend. The conclusion of the discussion,
| was therefore favorable to Sardinia. But anoth
| or and more serious topic was subsequently
brought forward by the Sandman Plenipotentia
ry, namely the state of Italy. NJ. Cavour drew
the attention of tho Congress TO the present con
dtiop of that country. He entered into details
dwelt the danger Of leaving important
question undecided. and declared that the Con
gress ought not to separate without coming tC
some decision on the question.
! Count Buol expressed his surprise that such
subject should be brought before Plenipotentia
| ries met on the Eastern, and not on the Italian
| question. and maintained that it was not within
| their functions Count Cavour disputed that
! opinion; he denied that the question less Itai
ian than European, and maintained that they
| were there met matters relating to the gene
raj interest and welfare of Europe at large, Italy
was a perfectly Legitimate subject for their con
| sideration.
He made some further observations in the same
sense. and again entreated Congress to take the
question into consideration as if they did not be
| feared that before two years passed away the
Italian question would force itself ON the attention
| ofEurope.
The London Posts Paris correspondent writes:
! III we make up accounts perhaps the contract
Is IN favour OF Russia, to whom more has been
| given up than she has renowned. Such a result
