party disem barked they were enthusiastically
cheered by the great crowd assembled at the
pier.
DUBLIN is GAILY DECORATED,
though the decoration is not general, while
there is no great popular enthusiasm. An
other flag has been substituted for the miss

FRENCH AND CHINESE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
PARIS, April S.-Before the adjournment
of the senate to-day DeFreycinet, minister
of foreign affairs, stated that the
preludes of treaty of peace
with China had been virtually

therefore, unable to announce the c0nclu-
sion of peace treaty until China should
reply.
