"The day before yesterday, the 6th instant, the Russian Ambassador in- formed the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count von Buol-Schauen- stein, that the instructions which he had asked of his Court had arrival whereupon yesterday a conference was held between the Imperial French and the Royal Britannic Ambassadors, together with the Count von Buol, and Prince Gortschakoff, at the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From the mutual explanations then exchanged it resulted, that the representatives of the Four Powers were essentially agreed in their understanding of the sense and general bearing of the fundamental points ; and consequently— saving the assent of the Cabinets of Paris and London yet to be obtained—a basis is gained upon which negotiations for the restoration of the peace Of Europe may begin. " We greet this preliminary result with great satisfaction ; and at the same time believe we may venture to express our expectation that the high Courts of France and England and the Sublime Porte will similarly see in it a result fully capable of serving as a basis for the negotiation of a conclu- sive and secure peace."
The statement that Prussia had adhered to the treaty of the 2d Decem- ber was, it appears, copied from the notorious Freniden Blatt.
