London this morning bring the highly impor-
tsnt intelligence thas the peace Of Europe 10

and interesting details Of the action Of the
Peaoe Congress by which this aaspioioss 70
suit was reached, and Of the proceedings In
the British Parliament IN relation thereto. Is

ton Of British reform. We are grasiaed in

practicable. The result was therefore reached
far more promptly than was antici-
pated. The terms OF the settlement
are the guarantee BY the great Powers Of
Europe Of the neutrality Of the Grand Duchy
Of Luxembourg, which is TO remain, as hereto
