The news of peace is confirmed; but no addition
al particulars respecting the terms of the peace had
TRANSFERRED nor was it likely that any would be
made public until the arrival of Napoleon at Paris
where he was expected on the 18th inst. The
causes assigned by the two Emperors for the con-
clusion of peace are given in their addresses to
their respective armies, which we print in our tele
graphic summary of the news.
The result of the treaty is generally mistrusted in
England, and seems to have caused some dssatis-
faction in Paris. The Sandman ministry had re-
signed, and Count Cavour is reported to have
abandoned his post on account of the terms of
peace being unsatisfactory.

terest to two and half per cent Consols on the

decline in both securities as compared with the
rates current on the 18th inst.
