ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.

ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.
New YoBK, May steamship Bremen,
Capt. Vessels, with 425 passengers, arrived
to-day from Bremen, via Southampton. She
brings Liverpool dates of the 10Th.
In both Houses of Parliament, on the 18th,
explanations of British foreign policy were
made, and the London Times congratulates the
country that full and frank exposition "has
been made of our foreign relations with the
Continental powers, and that all parties agree
as to the great features of the question, and
as to the policy that it bohooves Great Brit
ain to adopt" The Times goes on to say,
Whatever minor differences may be cooked
by future discussion, the explanations of last
night show that all parties in England are at
least agreed to take their stand upon the trea-
ties of 1915, and to require of Austria to
keep strictly within the limits of those trea-
ties.
The statement made by Lord Malmesbury
says that It was a matter Of regret that Lord
Cowley had not been allowed longer time to
mediate, as there would have been more
chance Of a successful result than at present
The Ministry could not, however, refuse the
proposal made by Russia for a Congress
The five powers agreed TO the stipulatons
that the treaties of 1915 should be left undis-
turbcd. but subsequently collateral questions
arose as TO the composition Of the Congress
and the disarmament Of the powers antago-
nistic to each other. The latter, he regretted
to say, had not been settled. 1t was the
opinion of Her Majesty's government that a
disarmament was necessary previous to the
assembling of the Congress. 1t was his opin-
ion that 1t would be much better to submit
this point TO a commission of army officers,
that the Congress might have only political
subjects to consider. Sardinia had also been
invited to disarm, but refused, on the ground
Of her non-admission 20 the Congress.
ONE DAY LATER
QuEBEo, May 2.-rhe screw steamship
North Britain, from Liverpool goth ult,, ar
rived here this morning. The advices, al
though but one day later, embrace several
points Of interest.
A rumor was circulated in London on the
18th, that the Emperor Napoleon's life had
been attempted, but obtained little credence,
and was wholly unfounded.
The Monitc,r of the 9th has an official
article on the situation of affairs 1t explains
the bases agreed upon for the proposed Con-
gross, and the present position of negotia-
tons Il says France is willing to prove her
conciliatory disposition, and promises to re-
quest Piedmont to disarm on condition that
Piedmont and the other Italian States be al
lowed to take part in the Congress, and hopes
this proposal will meet with the unanimous
consent of the powers. France has even ad-
dod that she is disposed to assent to a disar-
mament Professionally, previous to the Con-
gross. Everything therefore justifes the
belief that if AL difficulties are not yet re-
moved. a defnitiye understanding will ere
long be established, and that no farther OBJ
stacle will oppose the assembling Of the
Congress.
The Paris Bourse, on the 18th, was buoy
ant and advanced Ii. On the 9th it opened
at further advance Of nearly Ii, but reced-
ed, and closed fiat at 67fr. Coo
SABDINrA.-The Daily Necs has the fol-
lowing dispatch.
Turin, April 10. At a Council OF Minis
tiers, held this morning, at which the King
was present, it was resolved, in order to give
Europe proof of the desire Of Sardinia to
remove the difficulties which delay the meet
ing Of Congress, Sardinia yields to the de-
mand of England and France, and accepts the
principle of disarmament, the details Of which
she leaves to be discussed in Congress
