if n correspondent wore poruiiucu

which if it cornea will produce terri

had no incident* worth notice. At
night we had an impromptu revival

fection the preaching the singing
nnd the old women ahouting and
dapping their handa. There was a

We thought of a rtnin from thi*

In the *c*nion of the legislative
body of France on tha l.'lth of May
the Mir<|uii< de Mouwtier maiie the
following communication. of which
• brief new* report by the cable wan
published in the Herald yesterday
The Markuis said — Gentlemen
the London conference ha* termina
ted ita labor* having signed on th£
11th (nut a treaty determining in a
decisive manner the international
position of the Dutchy of Luiem
burg The Freneh Government had
for Home time pant lieen \ reoeupied
by the undecided Mate in which thi*
question. ao important for the secu-
rity of our frontiers remained
Whether this seeusity whj« a mured by
the union of the duchy to France or
by any other combination the chief
point for in wii* that Prussia
in the iicn position which she had
&«*rjnir«*t| by the last Kuropean
change* should not retain beyond
her boundaries and outaide all inter
national right a military establish
mcnt which toward* u* constituted
an eminently offensive position. We
were warranted in hoping that our
friendly relation* with the Cabinet
of llerlin would prepare the way
for a favorable notation for our in
tention ha* always l>een to s|>arc
Prussia * ju*t susceptibilities and to
bring to the queation which had a
European character an honest ciam
ination of treaties and of the inter
est* of the great powers. We liaat^acd
to remove all eaune for eonf'rt by a
declaration in conformity with the
above sentiments The powers opened
the preparatory negotiations in which
we avoided taking any part fVom a
just feeling of reserve and mod era
tion To nil questions we replied
that we would accent any solution
compatible with our security and our
dignity and whichj'the cabinet
might recommer.d for our adoption
an calculated to consolidate Ruro
pean peace We cannot too loudly
proclaim how much the powers have
displayed a spirit of impartiality
ana a sineeie desire to arive at an
equitable and honorable arrangement
After the ratifications have been ex
changed the government will pro-
mulgate the test of tho treaty of
which the following are the princi-
pal stipulations' The preamble state*
that ttie king of Holland grand
duke of Luxemburg taking into
considcrrtioi* the change in the sit-
uation of tho dut^hy resulting from
the dissolution of the ties which
bound it to tftr old (Hermanic con
federation invited the sovereigns of
Austria Belgium France Great
Britain Fru»ia and Kussia to assem
ble their representativeo a? London
in order to concert with the plenipo-
tentiaries of the king grand duke
engagement. lor the future with a
view to the maintenance of peace
The sovereign* having accepted this
invitation revived to respond to the
deeire of the king of Italy to partic-
ipate in dr< iterations destined to a*« I
sure the umintenance of the general
tranquility The tjjike declared that j
he MalaU'ced the cotmilos of the
durhy witli tho house of Nassau '
This declaration was accepted and
note taken of it. The duchy was
declared neutral under the sanction
and collective guarantee of the sign-
ing powers with the exceptant of
Belgium which is already » neutral ;
power. It waa further agreed that
town of Luxemburg *heuld ceaso to
be fortified. The king grand duke
reserved to himself the right of
maintaining there sufficient troops
for the preservation of order. I'rus- i
sia declared consequently that iicr
troop* shall receive orders to evac- |
uate the place as soon as the ratifica-
tions of the treaty are exchanged
The artillery will begin to be with-
drawn together with the munitions
of war shortly. There will then ;
only remain the troops indiapensa
hie for the safety and the dispatch of j
the material of war The duke of
Luxemburg engaged to take mens
urea to convert the fortress iuto an
ones town by such demolition as he
shall consider aufifoient for the sat
isfaction of the power*. The work
will commenco after the retreat of
the garriaon which will be carried
out with due regard to the interest*
of the inhsbitanta. The ratifications
will be exchanged at latest within
four weeks The treaty folly accords
with the viawa of the French govern i
ment It doe* away with a state of |

plete independence and it not only
removes the eauaea of an imminent
eonflict but gives fresh pledges for I
the strengthening of good relations !
and for the maintenance of the peace >
ofKurope The government has to
congratulate itself upon having ob
tained these results and to make
known how just and friendly are the
sentiment* of the powers toward* us
The government thinka it uneful to
especially point out that for the first
time the meeting of a conference
instead of following a war and eon-
fining itself to sanctioning itaraealta.
ha* succeeded in sntieipating it IH
in preserving the benefit* of peace.
This is a precious indication of tkr
new ten(hntie* whii h prrvait in the 1
ror/</ and over which the friends of I
progress snd civilisation should re-
joice
M Jules Favre asked that the pa
per* on the subject should be com
(anniented to the House in order that j
a debate might subsequently taken |
