Arrival Of che Atlantic.

NEW YORK, May Il. The u. s. steam
er Atlantic has arrived with dates from
Liverpool up to the Both ult. Her news
is not very important touching the state of
European affairs.
The great feature Of the weeks news
was the publication officially of the much
talked of treaty Of peace,
The treaty, together with the proceed
ings of three appended conventions, was
published, and seemed not to give the En-
glish people m extra degree OF prlde or
satisfaction after their late efforts in cam
paigning. The first agreement has special
reference to the passage of the Darden-
Giles. The second for arranging the de-
tails of the naval force in the Black Sea.
The Sd was for declaring the island of
Aland non-fortifed, and also, there was
an important declaration of maritime law,
namely, the abolishing of priyateering.-
That a neutral flag should protect its car
go except such be contraband.
Also neutral goods under the enemy's
flag should be exempt from capture. The
treaty stands precisely as reported by last
steamer. The missing articles, 9Th and
9th, relate to the General Amnesty and
exchange of prisoners; 7th and 9th arti-
cles are on granting to Turkey admission
into the European political system, and
for securing an European arbitration in
case Of disputes with her.
Peace had been formally proclaimed at
all the important meetings in the nited
kingdom. Political parties in Parliament

published. It contains all the documents
relative to Central America. There is
nothing else of much interest transporting.

political world of Great Britain. Every
thing and deed of the ministry are to be
overhauled.
Lord Palmerston, in his puzzle, called
a meeting Of his friends to talk about how
to act, and the opposition called a meeting
of the conservatives. It is said that they
intend to make the fall of Kars a test ques-
ton against the Government.
Lord Clarendon had laid before the
House of Lords a copy of the treaty Of
peace, and moved that it be taken up on
the 9Th of May.
Lord Palmerston, also as premier, laid
before the Commons, for the 4th of May,
. a question to appoint a day of Thanksgiv-
ing for the restoration of peace.
Lord Lyndhursa consented to postpone
his motion upon the Italian question for
the present, at the request Of Lord Claren.
