THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Africa arrived at New York on
Saturday morning, with Liverpool papers to the
9th instant. They contain no news of import
ance. The peace question, and the reception
of the intelligence OF peace in the various States
OF Europe, constitute the principal items, and
in these there does not appear anything new or
interesting. The Imperial manifesto issued at
st. Petersburg, after announcing the peace,
adds, as the essential element of the agreement
" the object of the war having been gained by
the security acquired for Inc privileges of the
Christians in the East" No additional disclo
sures have been made, as to the provisions Of
the treaty. The correspondent Of the London
Times, writing from Paris on the lst instant
says:
The treaty is said to consist of thirty.fo four
articles, and the hatti-humayoun of the Sultan
is not embodied in it, but sufficient is said to
connect the treaty with that decree, and to
guaranty the faithful execution Of its provisions.
The Turkish territory will, it is said, be evacu.
ated by the Allies. No permanent occupation
is therefore intended but as several months,
perhaps six or eight will be necessary for the
removal of the immense material belonging to
both armies, and as it will be necess ary for a
considerable force to remain until the last gun
be brought away, the Allies will be able TO afford
assistance to the Sultan in case of necessity
otherwise the troops of the Allies will evacuate
the Crimea as well as Constantinople."
"The Journal des De6a.s OF the Sd instant
says that no decision has yet been pronounced
with regard to the different systems proposed
| for the future organization of the Dauubian
Principalities, but that the discussions upon the
subject gave rise to another question, which was
| definitely determined. The conference has de.
cided that ne portion of the Turkish Empire

3Oth March has acquired, By the ratification OF
the irrespective sovereigns, an indeible character
the armies of France, England, and Sardinia
will abandon the Crimea and Constantinople
aud return home, and the Austrian troops will
retire from the Danubian Principalities beyonC
the frontiers the Empire. The De5ats further
states that the conferences resolved the delicate
| question OF the rights of the Christians in Tur
key, in a form which will reconcile the interests
| OF the Christians with the rights Of the Imperial
| Crown. The conference it is said, kas not an
nexed to or incorporated with the treaty OF
! peace the late DEGREES of the Sultan on this
point, but has inserted in the treaty an article
| IN which allusion is made to the recent conces
sions, IN such terms that an engagement on the
part OF the Sultan to adhere 20 mia promise il

and it expresses the belief that the grave aues
ton of the state of Italy, viewed as a possible
cause OF future war, IS not yet disposed of The
treaty, it adds, is composed of preamble and
thirty-four articles. Inserted in the preamble

efforts of the Emperor of the French that peace
