The lfoniteur of yesterday contained the following :—

" The Emperor yesterday received the diplomatic corps. The Papal Nuncio, speaking in the name of the diplomatic corps, offered the Emperor his earnest and sincere congratulations on his happy return, and on his resolution to conclude peace." The Emperor in reply said :—" Europe was in general so unjust to me at the beginning of the war that I was happy to be enabled to conclude peace as soon as the honour and the interests of France were satisfied ; and to prove that it could never have been my in- tention to overturn Europe, and to provoke a general war. I hope today that all reasons for disunion will disappear, and that the peace will he of long duration. I thank the diplomatic corps for their congratulations."
