The TRaArY OF PEACE, Gc.--The official report
Of the Peace Conference has come to hand. The
report is a little more than reproduction of the
treaty ITSELF
The most interesting feature Of the business
took place after the treaty was signed. Count
4 Walewski invited the assembled Plenipotentia-
ries to an interchange Of sentiments, and himself
went over the ground, referring to the disturbed
condition Of Greece and Italy, and recommend
| ing that suggestions to rule more mildly should
be conveyed to the Italian Governments In
this recommendation the Plenipotentiaries more
orless heartily concurred.
Count Cavour, on behalf of Sardinia, demand
ed that secular government be established in
the Roman legations, and that the Austrian
troops be withdrawn. This led to some sharp
words between the Austrians and Sandman rep
resentatiyes, but ended in nothing. Count Wa
lewski threw out cunning bait to entrap the
Congress into a measure of repression against the
Belgian press, but Lord Clarendon refusing in
bold terms to lend the influence of England to
any means to check the freedom Of opinion, Wa
lewski backed out Of the proposal.

struck at the Sandman programme of italian re-
made use prospecting the mal-administration of
the Popes government.
The sudden departure for Paris of Monsigneur
Vardi, Under Secretary ofState for foreign At
fairs, is attributed to the CONSERVATION of the
Court at the bare mention of q question of such
vital Importance as limit to the Pope's tempo
raj sovereignty, and desire to have q negotia-
tor ON the spot to aid the Nuncio in his remon-
strances, and counteract the suggestions of the
Plenipotentiaries.

replied to the proposal of England. The nego-
tiations which had commenced at Copenhagen
and were interrupted in March last will probably
be resumed.

The George Law arrived here at II o'clock
this morning. She sailed from Aspinwall May
7th, and connected at the Isthmus with the
steamer Sonora, which left San Francisco on
the 21st ult., with upward of $4,000, 900 in spe-
Gle.
The steamer Golden Gate, with passengers and
mail to March 90 arrived at San Francisco April
18th.
The steamer J. L. Stephens, upward bound,
left Acapulco April 22d. She passed, on May
LIST steamer supposed to be the America, from
Panama No signs of further disturbance there.
The Isthmus papers are filled with official doc
uments concerning the Panama riots. No fur
ther facts OF importance have been elected. The
citizens of Panama have formed guard for the
purpose of protecting their property. The au-
thorties had placed force at the disposal Of the
railroad company, SO that no further violence
need be anticipated. assf
The Alta Californian says the Legislature is
still in session, but has agreed by joint resolu-
ton to dissolve on the Dist inst Nothing of spe-
ca interest has been transacted since the sailing
of the last steamer In the House a joint reso-
luton was adopted to go into an election of o. S.
Senator, but was lost in the Senate by 10 to Is,
SO the election is out of the question at this ses-
sion. A bill to consolidate the government of
the city and county of San Francisco has been
passed by both Houses, and only waits the ap-
proval of the Executive to become law.
A personal rencontre occurred between Messrs
