NOTHING YET SETTLED.

ship Niagara arrived at Liverpool on the morn
ing of the 18TH
In both houses Of Parliament, April 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 relations with the CONT
mental 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 goes on to say whatever
minor differences of opinion may be cooked
up by further discussions, the explanations of
last night show that all parties in England are
at last agreed to take their stand upon the
treaties of 1915, and to require of Austria to
keep strictly within the limits of these treaties
The Times says though the propagation of
the existing Parliament will take place to-day.
We believe that the writs for the new Para-
ment will not be issued until Saturday They
will be proclaimed in the several boroughs and
counties on Monday, and when three clear
days have elapsed from that date the election
for the new Parliament will begin in the
boroughs, and three days afterwards in the
counties.
The Times has the following kilograms:
Trieste, April 19.-The Austrian Govern
ment has hired six Austrian Lloyd steamers.
MarseiAes April 18.-Several letters from
Naples announce that the King being on the
18th in very suffering condition, the Royal
Prince had been summoned in haste to Cas-
eura.
The Times city article of April 10 says the
funds commenced this monday morning at a
decline Of l-Sc, but owing TO the receipt of bet
ter prices from Paris, there was subsequently
slight improvement.
The French advices of Saturday would
seem further to corroborate the impression
that the Emperor requires more time-the
middle or end of May being mentioned as the
earliest period for complete readiness. 1t
was also stated that an immediate announce
ment would be expected in the Moni-
teur to the effect that everything has been
smOothed for the meeting of the congress;
and nonfulfimemt of this anticipation was
chief cause of the dizziness at the opening of
the market. In the discount market, the de-
mand was not very active, and some transac-
tons were expected at a fraction below the
bank minimum.
The Times says that Prussia is about to
contract for loan equal to between eight and
nine million pounds sterling
Piedmont and France require some further
weeks of active effort for the full completion
for war.

The ministry could not, however, refuse the

not been settled
II was the opinion of her Majesty's govern
ment that disarmament was necessary previous
to the assembling Of the Congress. 1t was
his opinion that it would be much better to
submit this point to commission OF army Of
ticers, that the Congress might have only po-
litical subjects to consider. Sardinia had also
been invited to disarm, but refused ON the
Ground of her non-admission to the Congress.
Some remarks were made by Lords Claren-
don and Derby The former stated that no
party spirit would prevent him from making
every allowance for the difficulties OF the sub
iect and that he should be only too glad to
hear of its success. And the letter stated that
in case of war, which God forbid, the position
of England must be one of armed neutrality.
In the Commons, Mr.. D'Israeli made a SIM
liar statement to that of Lord Malmesbury.
Lord Palmerston thought the Congress
might meet at once and settle the real ques'
tions upon which the peace of Europe depend

troops from Central Italy, and pledge that at
no future time shall they return. The Con-
gress might then if it pleased go into the ques'
ton of amelioration of Italy in general.

ton. He thought it would be conducive to
the interests of peace to admit Sardinia to the
