The Baltic brings the nows thst peace was signed at Pa ris on Sunday, the 30th of March. The event was an- mounoed in Paris and Lon“on by swivos of artillery. Paris was illuminated, and in Kogiand the caursh bells were |. Three or four webs must elapse ere ra‘ifications of the treaty cam be exchanged. Deiails of adjustment re referred to acommisvior. Th» gress event of peace has swallowed up all minor suijects of news, ‘The official annoancemen: ‘hai tha treaty of peace has at last been executed will be received with almost usiversal satisfaction, altavwgh wiia ttle emotion, and no surprise. From the time whea the proposi- tions for peace were first suygevied, up to the time when the formal treaty war sicned, soarce'y any one, who gravely reflected on ths mutter, enterisiaed musk doubt as to what the issue would be. Although the mere announcem<at of the conalusion of pence may be suid to have excited comparatively Hitle sensation, the circumsiances atiendiog it are alescy beginning to be felt. Tord Palmerston assures us, ia bid ministerial os- pacity, and with a fail knowirige of what the terms of peace really ars, “that his coevicitoa is that the treaty which bas just been concluded will be deemed satisfactory by snis couatry and by Burope; that by the stipuiacions of the treuty the integ rity and independence of tae Tarkich Empfre—that is to fay, thé sole object of the war-—wt!) hy wecired, as far as humas arrangements cin effest that puryose; that tae ‘treaty is honorable to all Powers who are contracting parties to it; and that he (Lord Palmerston) trusts thet ‘while, on the one band, it his put ac eud toa war which every friend of humauity was: naturally have wished to (eee concluded, it will, on tne otner, lay the foundation of @ lasting and enduring peace. ‘Accompanying this assuraccs of the Premier, we may ‘yeoognise the firat fruits of peuce ic the general news of the day. The Bank of France hes slrosdy reiused the rate ofdiacount from six to five per cent, and the Bank o ‘Bng'and is reported to be souut to make 4 aimilar reduc tion. The accounts from the trading aad manufacturing Gistricts aro also satisfactory. In the English House of Commons, en April 1, Ler! ‘Palmerston, in answer to Mr. Cobdev, aaid he would tuske inquiry at the Foreign Office when the oorreepond- ence with the United State: Central American question would be ready. The Forvign Office had been eqnnch occupied with other ma'ters 'aviy, and that would gecount for the delay. ‘Tbe La Plate arrived at Southamzton, (Kng.,) on March 81, with the West India mais.

The Conclusion of Peace in Europe—Signature of the Trea- ty—Jts Condstions— Views Taken of Them by the War Party in England—Preparations for Re embarking the Allted Troops in the Crimea, dc., de. ‘The great fact which I have to communicate to you by the present mail is the signing of the treaty of ponse at Paris between the belligerent Powers and Russia. ‘The Moniteur thus officially announced to the world that the war was at an end:— Par, March 20, 1856. ‘The Plevipotentiarios of Great Britaia, Frazee, of russia, of Russia, of Sardinia, and of turkey; heve affixed their sfmnatares to the sreaty which puts ad end tothe war; and which, while definitively vet‘liog the Fastern question, establishes the tranquility of Eu- rope on solid aud durable bares. The exchange of the ratifications will take place at Parisin four weeks, cr sooner, if possib'e; until that time the stipulations of the treaty caznot be made pubic. A Council of Ministers was held at the Tuileries at half past 11 o'clock, and remained sitting tilt » quarter-paat 12, The Emperor presided, and gave bis last instrac- tions, and Count Walewski returned to hie offtzial resi- dence to receive the Plenipotentiaries, They assembled in the Salle des Conferences before halt-past 12, aad after the treaty was read over proceeded tosixn it ia the same alphabetical order in which they have been wont to take their places during the Conferences. Crowds of people had been cut from an ea:ly hour, os it was kaowa that something important was to occur, aud numerous groups of spectators gathered on the quays oppurite and close to the Foreign office to see the Plenipotenttaries pass. These were rece{ved, both on going and returning, with mazka cf great respect fram the people. The moment the signatures were completed the expected signal was given, and the cannon from the espianade of the Inva- liées preclaimed the news before the Plenipotentiaries had quitted the hall. The so much discussed treaty of peace, then, {s signed at last, and signed ou the anniversary of a great event. On this day, forty-two years ego, was fough: the battle of Paris, the last actif (he great drama of which Eyrope was the theatre; and on the following day the Russians cntered the capital, and dictated terms of peace where now their Ambasradors have come to ask for it, On the following day, which many still remember as cold, som- bre and cheerless, the allies entered Paris, That Franse is now able, in concert with her allies, to distate peace to Russia, may be considered as full satisfaction for the past, and I gm not quite sure that it was without design that the 30th of March was selecied for the occasion, Orders have been eent to the transport squedron at Toulen tobe ready to proceed to the Biack Ses to bring home the troops. The follewivg are some particulars relative to the im portant act of signing the treaty of peace:— The draft of the general treaty of peace drawa up by tho Comité de Rédac:ion naving, in the witting of Satur- day, obtained the sauction of the Congress, thy Pienipo- tentiaries of the contracting Powers met the next day, a8 already etated, to proceed to the formal acs of affix- tog their tures ww the document. M. Foenillet de Gcn:hes, chief of the protocol department in the Minuatry of Voreign Affeirs, had cauced seven copies of ths treaty, writ.en on parchirent, to be prepared and placed on table of the comerencss. insdgh a magnus that exca copy was put before the Plenivotentisries of tho govern- ment sy which it is to’be ratified, aftor the text of the seven copioa had beea carefilly eompared, the Pienip ten aries proceeded to affix tacir ‘signatures to theend of the treaty. Count Walewnki, as Prosidont of the Coa- gress, signed first, and the other Plenipotentiacieg in the alppabdetical order of their respective cotlatries. It was at this moment that the Emporor was ietuped by ag ae hger tr gtd ‘ the trea- yy Ponce was 6 ood ejoety sent back word to the momoere of the C: that he would pe may eo receive them atier they bai concladed their task. Bat, although the mare act of af- fixing their signatuces occupied the Pleaipotentians but awery brief portion of tine, yet the waole of the fur- mallty of sigaing lasted nearly two hours, as the Pienipo- tentiarivs, in adution to their signature atthe bytton ot each protoccl, had to affix initials to the differ ent paragraphs, the whole number of guch minor sigas- tures being, it is sald, 88. The Pien!po:entfaries of sach contracting Power signed first the copy reserved for their goverrment, and then the other Pien potentiaries algved in alpbabetical order. In this manner, esch contracting Power figuricg at the head of the signatures of the copy which it ts to ratify, all diffisulties as to etiquatte or eoedency were seeaside., To each signature was imme- ately a:tached the private real of eash Plenipotentiary. Twmedistely after the olcae of the sitting, a1 the Pienipo- tentiaries went together to the Tuileries, whxre they had the honor of being received by the Emprror. Cabiaet couriers were sent off in the evening to Londor, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Turia ani Constantinsple, inor- der to submit the* treaty to the radficatioa of ther respective Courts. The prevailing feeling in England is one of satisfaction, but the anii-peace party are very inc ignant, even before the terms of the treatyare known. The Sun, one of their organr, appears in # deep black border on tae margin. At Paris joy is universal, The Nims, in a leader to-day, gives a slap at the United States, whilst joining choras in the general rejoicing. rt saye:— Al Europe is now resounding with the grate- fal notes ot peace. Every State rejoices ia the event which secures ‘‘the imtegrity and iuncependence”’ of a Weak people against the schemes of « powertui neighvor. We trust the triamph wiil not be marred, the hymna of praize jsrred aud the universal jucgmen: defied, by the |ppearance of a new dictator in the Western hemisphere, as imperious, as egotistical, as resolved to give is own law to the world, and’as certain to be brought under tie world’s law, as that which bas just made its timely sud- mirsien to a European Congress. Fiom to-day’s money article you will see that there ip ‘8 geweral rise in public securities, Though the exact termes of the treaty just sgreed upon are not known, the fact that the terms aro the sauce in substance as those embrao’d in the Esterhazy ultimatum denotes that Russia has made concessions which she no- ver would have made before the war. The third point, as you are aware, imp'ies » material gvarantee—tie neutralization of the Black Sea—the only high road to Constantinople fora Rus#en feet. RKusan isto destroy her arsenals, forts, &., in the Black Sea, which is to become # commercial sea, with Karopean con- euls in its ports. On the land side, the Danubian Princi- palities are to form @ barrier sgetast any farther attempt at aggression by Russia, é The first point has a moral, political, as well as « gene- ralobjest. Ruxsia renounces ail pretention to interfere in the internal administration ef Turkey, which Is iter en- ters into the great family of nations. » Tho Emperor Alexander iI. has solemaly declared that ho renounces sincerely and completely tho traditiena! policy of Peter the Great and of Catheriae {I., as regards the ex:ension of the Russian ompire in the Kast The second point guarantees the freedom of the navi- gation cf the Danupe, ‘Tho fcurth guarantees the immaunitiss and privileges of the Christian subjects of the Porte, The fifth point was less open. It concerns Niocolaioff, which wall be dismentiled, the Aland Islands, Bomaraund, &c. Ail thee points have been satisfactorily settled. ‘Tho text of the treaty is looked furward to with some curicaity. The following are the latest items of news:— A Borne jeiter states:—Orders have been received from Fogiend to suspend the enrolmen: ia Switzeriand for the Baithh Foroga Legion. The operations of recruitmeat areinfaliactivity, £00 men have veen sent to the do- pot dusivg the last week.

The cannon of the Invalides ‘t this moment proclsiming with a voice of thuzder that the spell of war is breken—that peace reigns from the Keop of Wisdsor and the gilded halle of the Tuileries to the copper domes of the Kreulin. The day is remarkebly fine. Saviog a sharp, north- easter, there fs nothing to mar the brightness of a sun wor'hy of July; and so long as tbe sun did chine, when was @ Parisian known to keep at home of a Suadayf Those great highweys, then, of plessure, the Champa Ely- séer, the Place de !a Concorde, the beautiful quay of the Seine, the Boulevards, but mest of all the Avenue de Vimperatrice, and the glassy lakes, sloping lawas and plotureeque shrubbery of the Bois de Boulcgae, are gorged with @ population anda stream of princely equipages such asean be «cen in no other capital of the world. While all are esuntering along with tha: joyous air of nonchalance which gives the Parisian, from the oldest to the youngest, that most charming representation of light heartedness—whiie equipages are rolling to and fro with & backing luxury that renders their owaers only Ieau en- viable, perhaps, then the birda of the air—boom | boom! boom | sndden)y roar cut those historic messengers from the Invalides, whose veices in other days have told auch strange tales to the citizens of France. The peace, then, is signed. “The better the day, the better the deed,” eays the proverb, A general expectation prevatied that sush would have been the cace yesterday; bat the public were bewildered by reports of great cifficuliies with Prussia, of exceeding sturdiness on the part of Asli Pacna, of fomething like sulkiners on the part of Sardinia. Still the Bourse showed an improvement’, and rentes were quoted at 73f. 45c. on closing yesterday. Many, also, of the most influential tradesmen ostentatiously hug up the necessary preparations for an illuminatioa, as if assured that the delay was eimply that of a few hours. It was known everywhere that a plume had been plucked from the pinion of an eagle, and, aftor being decorated with all the skill the crown jeweller could bring to the task, Iay, covered with a crysta: dome, at the palace of the Tuileries, thir.ting for the ink that should enable it to ratify the bond that was to lock Rus- tians, Austrians, Prussians, Turks, Saroiniens, English and Frénch in one long, long, fond embrace, cryiog, “Brother, brother, why did ye anep, and enari, and bite, when euch kisses Jay all ready for the emacking?”’ But the secret has been so well preserved, and the Bourso showed auch an unusnal sympathy with the general ignorance, that many peracns began to thiak the armis- tice must be prolonged in order that the Plenipoten: tlaries might comp'ete thetr work. Sv the thunder of the Invalides, at halt-past two, was not anticipated. It waa thought quite pomsible to-morrow, but no one seemed to think ct to-day, ’ The aeven necessary copies were, in fact, a'gned to-day st one o’clock; the telegraphic wires between the Tuile- ries axd the Inva ides were touched, and immediaiely the truth became known to all Paris. Directly afier por- forming their task, all the Pleutpotentiaries quitted the hotel for Foreign Affairs, and hastened to the ‘Tuileries. The Emperor received them with an anime- tion that left no mistake as to his sincerity. He put his arm into Count Orloff’s twice during the interview, and by his repeated attentions to hin: and Baron Brunow seemed desirous of effacing every vestige of past hostilf lies. He hed sent Eégar Ney, his aia-de-camp, yester day to the Russian representatives, to express his high sense of the compliment peld tim by the Russian army in the Crimea, ia consequence of tueir illuminating on receiving tidings of the birth of an heir to his throne, apd be wok the present cecasion to reiterate his thanks. It does not require much at any time to excite, or per- haps it would be more just tosay give pieasure to the Parisions. Jake ebi.dren, they are easily acused—easily putout. And certainly tt is difficult to imagine more compl+te complacency than stam itself on every one’s face when suddenly the cannon told its tale. As soonas the sound broke on tho ear thore was a pause. Could it be! Was it realy the gum? [verybody halted and dreathed shorily; but when again another, and another, and then another came along, borne over the placid lake by the searching cast wind, there was no mistake. A toug, lorg sustained Vare U’Empereur broke feom ali points of the Beis de Bologne, Servants in carriages waved their hate; their owaers flang out their arms. ogened the door» an’ mingied with the joyful crowd, and everybcdy was sbaning hands with everyoody. Saidenly another stentorian ecclamation cams from tae large mar- ginal space which divides the higher from the in‘erior lace, where thousands of well drossed persons and grouos of carriages had got clustered together. It was Vive les Rusees, Vive Alezander I, and the choer was taken up witn deafenicg energy by every rank, till you could bear it 1¢-echoed up the aveoue de I’ lmperatrice to the Arc de Taomphe. After this @ cheer was up for the Eng- dish; but whether it was that throats became hoarse, Tangs exhassted, or that there wass lack of good will, the vivas were faint compared with the preceding. Hrrexpective of the novelty, I believe that the Parisians are heartily delighted at the termication of hostilities ‘The war to them has peen of much too political » caa- Tacter to be an enthusiastic one at any time. They have been gratitiec at the conspicuous pre-emicence o” their ms when Kenting by tie side of fag veo Lanka enemy, Englaxd. Napoleon Po rege ies ie he sought to heat, the breach with Rassia as soon 4s possible. 1 am much disposed to think, however, that in respect to any war a great change has come over the e#pirit of the French. Mr. Cobden, in England, waa s good deal ridiculed for stating, some ten years ego, that the nation hed con- verted its aword into a prazing nok, end was conteated that it ehould remainso. Prince deJ »invile’s pulet, with some sini-ter‘remarks about Mogiand, the revolu- tion of 1848, the mecessary augmen‘a:ion of the arms- mentsof France, all seemed calcalated to negative the as- sertion. But it the war lately waged by the allies against Roseia bas proved one thing more then another, it ix this—that milttary glory is not the chief thing now ia the thoughtsof Frenchmen. War has become to them what it will ever be to America and England—an epi- rode, not @ principie. They were Bo.ged with glory uncer the first Napoleon, They have tried forty years of profitable commerce, and begin to have a shrewd iaes on which side the balance rests. A spirit of tradi: re ciprocity is gradually, under the auspices of Napoleon, opening up their minds, acd it is quite possible, so fat 26 thev are concerned, that the present peace may bea durable one. Whether there is not abroad a sorely dis- appoicted nationality, which bas hitherto been bidiog ite time, hoping to saateh its own in the melée—waoether there # note free born sylcit, the birthright of mankind, whicb, driven to madness by tals accord amongat the deepota of the earth, may suddenly arise and rend the present treaty of peace to fragments, is altogethe: ano- ther question. But France unquestionably is aatisied. ‘The ¢ag'e pen which ratifies the bond is to be the pro- rty of the Empress Eugenie, and t> be preserved as an ati hel ‘among tho ‘and chattles of her son, whose reign, she hoper, may be in aseordance with the ofrsum- stances ot which thi« plume is the symbol, All Paris is ilimminated. Abish omen; but tho Bri'ish Ampbarsador’s devices, artisticully formed by jets of glasa, broke lors, got together, fliled tho whole desiect designs with a sheet cf flame, ‘and notwrtostanding the most energetic exertions om the part of the domestica, was compelled to be #xtinguished. Such was not the fate of the Russian, Serainisp, Prussian and other envoys, or that of Aali Pasha. Tueir hotels shone with one galaxy of brilliant comet, stara and creacenta, Nothing could be more teautiful.’ The air was hot with tranquility. May it not be the sultry calmness which forbodes a storm. Pants, March 31, 1856. The Turkish Difficulty at the Conferences—Historical Ooin- chdlences—Convention to Work out the Details of the Treaty—The Allies (0 Take Possession of Predizone, + Smyrna and Candia—Grand State Dinner at Count Walewski’'s—Public Rejoiemp—The Steple Chases at | La Marche, Tam able to add a few particulars connected with the Great event of yesterday, which may probably {aterest your readers, Tho grand obstacle to a pacific determination, pure and simple, took place on Thursday, and po resolute was Aali Pacha in holding out respecting the Danubian Prin- cipalities, that the Emperor sent for him on Friday morning, to see what imperial influence could accom- plish. What occurred at that interview is known only to Napoleon and the Turkish plezipotentiary; but the result was, that the latter offered at the Conference which rat the same day, no further impediment. It ia generally waderstoogd tat tae contemplated independence of the THE NEW YORK HERALD. PRICE TWO CENTS. Moldo-Wallachians, ao streauously urged by the Russian Pleaipotentiaries, has been a matter postpcued, if not entirely ceded, to the natural jeslousy of Turkwy. Aali Pacha insisted upon the Sultan’s having entire control, or, rather, responsibility. ‘(Make Moldavia and Walla- chia independent,” he said, “and there are influential Boyards residing ia the Principalities who cou'd speedily find means of flinging thom into the lap of Russis.”” ‘Half an bour before the Conference eat on Friday, Baron Brunow was also closeted with the Enperor, It appears, then, that Friday and Saturday were em- ployed prineipaily by the plenipotentiariss in drawing up the various delails of the treaty of peace. The business might have been definitively concluded on Saturday—in fast, wasso—bat as Sunday was «> cear at band, it was the Emperor's wh thet the grand event should not be finally consummated till that day. Then the Bourse would be loved, and tne parties whose lives are spent in watch‘ng ta diffarent variations would, at all events, have m9 superiority over the rest of \be world, when the great exchange would be opened the tollonicg day, It was on Sunday, too, just a fortnight before, that the prince imperial, the Prince of Peace, that is to be—was born; and last, not least, it was on thé exact same date—the memorable 30:h of March— that Paris, in 1814, capitulated to the allies, who banish ed the founder of the Bonapartist dynasty to Flos. What day, therefure, could be more fit and proper for the con- clusion of a peace which elevated the descendant of that same illustrious ¢xule over the heads of the repronenta- tives of these same aliies? What dey more appropriate for Paris, which had once trembled ander the boots of their chargers, to reassert {ts prerogative of arma in the face of the world, by witnessing the signature of a pencs which placed the incontestible supremacy of those arms high above that of any power on earth’ ‘The secret, however, was admirab'y kept. The English residents began to have an inkling of the truth when Lord Cowley, the Linglish ambassador, was ween to descend into the court of his hotel, en grande tenue, covered with tha orders of his rank, endenter his voilan de ceremonic.

SPEECH OF EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The Fines’ Paris correspondent writes that, when the news of the signing of the treaty was announced to the Famperor, he expressed himself to the following effect:— He thanked the Pienipotentiaries for having come in per- som tohim with such agreeable tidings. He obrorved that the result of their labors during the Conferences was the complete realizaticn of the speech delivered by Lord G@axendon tn the House of Lords, and that the peace which the allies were determined on concluding was one which carried with it no humiliation to Russia, and which did not compromise the dignity or independence of amy one. It was, in fact, such as a great nation might propose or accept without degradation; and tt therefore had all the elements of solidity and durability. And he added thatso favora- dle a result was, in @ great measure, owing to the oon- ciliatory spiritand the moderation which marked the policy of England, and whioh was particularly felt in the course of the present Conferences. The same writer says there are other questions of paramount interest pending, and it would not be proper for the Plenipotentiaries to leave without taking them into oonsideration:—“I anderstant that Lord Clarendon bas ao intention of quit.ing moment. I believe f am not im the Tigaton cytes maven when state that the best feei- §9g Prevails here among all claveyr, gad almost ail par, tes, at the conduct of England throughout; and the im. pression is that the peace will be found honorabie (or ali concerned, and satisfaciory.’” The Fost Paris correspondent writes:—‘If we make ap ascounts, perhaps the contract is in favor of Russia, to whem more bas Given up than she has renounce @.
