FOREIGN SUMMARY.

LATER FROM EuRoPE-Nec York, May L.
The steamer Bremen, from Bremen, has ar
rived, and brings Liverpool advices to 18th,
one day later.
In both Houses of Parliament, on the 18th, ex-
plantations of the British foreign feeling were
made, and the London Times congratulates the
country that "a full and frank exposition has
been made of our relations with the Continent
al Powers, and that all parties agree as to the
great features of the question, and as to the
policy which it behooves Great Britain to adopt"
The Times also goes on to say that whatever
minor differences of opinion may be evoked
by future discussions, the explanations Of last
night show that all parties in England are at
least agreed to take their stand upon the treaties
of 1915, and to require of Austria to keep
strictly within the limits of those treaties"
The Times has the following kilograms:
" Trieste, april ls.-The Austrian Govern
ment has hired six of the Austrian Lloyd
steamers.
" Marseilles, april l9.-Several letters from
suffering condition, the ROYAL Princess had
been summoned in haste to Caserta"
The Times city article of the 18th inst. says
The funds commenced this morning Monday
at decline of !, but, owing to the receipt of
later advices from Paris, there was subsequent
ly a slight improvement. The first quotations
of consols for money was 94a ca 94t, but they
left off at the latter prices.
AT late hour there was tendency to in
creased hrmness, owing to the French advices,
which seemed to cOrroborate the impression
that the Emperor requires more time, the mid
die OF May being mentioned as the earliest
period for completed readiness. 1t was stated
also that an immediate announcement was ex-
pected in the Monaeur, to the effect that every
thing has been smoothed for the meeting of
Congress and the non-fulflment of this anti
cipation was a chief cause of the dulness at
the opening of the market.
Parliament was to be prorogued on the 10Th.
Sardinia absolutely refuses to disarm, unless
admitted to participate in the proposed Con-
gress. She agrees, however, not to call out her
reserves, or mobilize her army, or move her
troops from their purely defensive position.
The English Ministerial statement stated
that the opinion of the Government was, that
there should be a general disarmament previous
to the meeting of the Congress. 1t was thought
that the point should be submitted to o com
mission, IN order that the Congress might have
only political subjects to deal with.
