We give thia morning additional details of the news brought by the Africa, whieh arrived at this port on Sa- turday afternoon. She left Liverpool on daturday, the Sth inst. Baron Brunow bas informed the Freuch government that the Emperor of Russia bas taken off the prohibition which prevented the Russian nobles from visiting France. The pen with which the treaty of peace was signed was wade from @ quill taken trom the wing of an eagle at the Jarcin dea Plantes. Immediately after the signature it was placed on @ white chest of paper and surrounded by the geal ot all the Powers represented at the Comzrees and by the signatures of the Plenipotentiaries, At the bottom M. Feuillet de Conches, Clef de Bureau du Proto- col, wrote :— I certify that this waa taken by me from the Impe- rial eegle at the Jardia des Plantes, and that it served or tee ai ature of the treaty of peace of the 30th of ch, 1856. The whole was then placed ina gilt frame, and « glaas fixed over it, to be presented to the Empress. By Imperial Fren:h decrees Count Walewabi has been raised to the rank of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, ‘fn consequence of the eminent services which he has rendered as Minister of Foreign Affairs;’’ and Baron de Bourqueney to the dignity of Senator, for his services duzizg the late diplomatit negotiations. Itis a most remarkable colnoidence that the Couat Orlcff, who is looked at 1 Europe with 60 much curiosity, is the {Gentical individasl who, on the 30th of Mareh, 1814, being then Col. Orloff, aide-de-camp to the Emperor Alexander, affixed the first signature to the capitulation of Paris, and on the 20th of March, 1856, he signed the treaty of peace of the Congress of Paris. Our Paris Gorrespondence. Panis, April 2, 1856. Grand Review on the Champs de Mars to Celebrate the Con- clusion of Peace: irpassing Magnificence of the Scene— Paris in its Moméa's of Excitemnt—The Modern Cesar with his Conquered Enemies in his Train, gt Yesterday was ft those brilliant festivities for the reput&tidn’of which Paris has become 60 illustrivus. Per- haps, a1s0, @ more graceful accompaniment to ae ture ot that treaty of peace could scarcely be devisi than that of a publis review of the soldiers whose bi Jabors had now ceased:, meat j From an early hour all was bustle and movement inthe military quarters of the supital. The review was to be etrictly confined to the garrison of Paris; and though the Emperor and his staff were not to enter the Champ “de Maret 1 or eieel, ths troops were in position as early 969 0’c1ock. The morning was like one of those beautifal Gays in September, when, with a refreshing breege and & brace of joyous doge, the sportsman hies forth with dou- ble barrelled guitand the prom'se of abundance of game, into the short stubbles or green turnip fields of “ merry England.” Paria must be seen to be appreciated under such circumstances, for no language can convey an ade onate ides of its characteristic beauty in such weather, » ad when bent on its favorite pursult—e holiday display 1bisfpart, at least, of the French taste remains unchang- 4, whatever else the spirit of commerce may have al- tered. A bloodless fight, or simply the martial evolutions of her legions, is enough to empty the environs of Pati for ten miles round, and seduce every man, woman and child of her citizens from the carey of domestic fe. But now there was an event—romething new—s revolu ion as regards what had been: it was war yesterday, it is peace to-day, Black and white could not be in greater contrast; therefore, for the nonce, at all events, the Pari- sian appetite was appeared. It was evident that more than ordinary pains had been taken that the misc en scene should be worthy the occasion, Tne Pienipotentiaries of all Europe were to be precent, and to see with their own eyes what was the pith and sinew, the organization and discipline of those troops whose eagles were now bashing in the aun of victory. As regiment after regiment turned out from ita quarters, —each preceded by the spirit-stirring drum—it was im- pessibie not to admire the condition of the men, their look of health, their perfect accoutrements—in which every thing is cf so atristly @ practical charac'er—and their soldierike bearing. As the mer came issuing north, west, east and south, from all quarters of the metropolis, under an incessant roll of drams, occasionally varied by the inep'ring strains of some cayalry band, the scene was most exhilarating. Crowds clustered around each detachment, around which they hueg like flies on a honey pot, and before it had got half wey to the Champ de Maze, the number of ‘camp followers” trebled the regiment. Then the streets were all waving with the banners cf every nation; conspicuous among which fluttered the stripes and stars of the United States. Tho Rue de la Paix was particularity striking. From the win- dows of every élage or flat, hung the tricolor, the Union Jack, the green flag of Sarcinia, the yellow standard of Austria, the crescent of Turkey, and evor and a-non the bread bunting of the United Staves, making up in size for its numerical inferiority. To add to all this, every house ‘was covered with preparations for an illumination in the evering, And so testeful ace the French arrangements in such matters that they are scarcely lesa briliiant in their effect by day than by night. By haif-past twelve, the appearance of the Champ de Mars was one of surpassing interest for those who love the mimic representation of war. On the left, from the Eoole Militaire to the extremi'y of the parellelogram under the heights of Chaillot, were drawn up seven lines of infantry, havlag an interval of about twenty yards be. tween each; the battalion of the pupils of St. Cyr taking aa usnal their porition on the right of the Hine. These éléves, you are aware, are the fature Generals of Franse, and by their fournure’ thelr dissipline and pertect organi- zation, are more 11 piece of .xquiaite mechanism than living maas of high blooded youtas usually so impatient of the curb. They each wear a cocked hat and plume, blue coat and seariet pantaloons, and march in line as if bat one soul aaimated the whole body. The regiments torm- ing the ¢civision of General Forey, as well ay all others who had been in the Crimen, were decorated with the Victoria medal. In fact, this distinction seems almost as general aa the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor, and as it is extremely ugly, I confess, myself, that I do not think it euy improvement to the breast of the French soldier, The total number of infantry on the ground was sixty battalions, all being under the superior orders of General Regnault de St. Jean D’Angeley, who had under him ee of Division Oourtigis, Ladmerault and Grosbon. sy On the right, opposite the infantry, were five lines of cavalry, amounting together to fifty squadrons, undor the command of General Koate. There was, also, # large bedy of artillery. The whole number of troops, however, wes cot more fan fifty thousand. Bat the coup dai! of this megnificent assemblege was striking to a degree. The ploturerque con:ume ot tho Zouaves, with their tur- baned heads, short spencer, and fall Eastern trowser; the towering bearskin and colossal frames of the gendarmie de Parts, with their powerfal horses; the graceful chas- reura i cheval, the two regiments of lancers, with their beautiful pennons flutteringAn the light breeze; the cuirassiers, glistening like = wall of s e0l; the dashing regiment of the guides, looking like the spoiled chitdren of imperial cespotizm—the very birds of paradise of the review—ond then that serried phalanx cf bras glistonin, fn the mlcdey un, presented by tho first and seco regiments of the carabiniers, whose head, back and breast pieces cf brass perfectly dazz'ed the eye—altegsther it is difficnit to coucetve a finer military inp lay. At one o’elock precisely, a stillmess of death prevailed through the ranks, suddenly broken by & shout, a ciash- ing of arms, a general din, drums beating, and a fan- farronade cf trumpets that made the very ground vibrate. It was caused by the entry cf the Emperor. Hin Majesty's staff was on this the moat bril- Jinat Ihave seen, The ip ari? magnificence of nis es- cort wore an air of ~§ Eastern grandeur about it. He ‘wan preceded by a file of Cent Gardes, whose rich uni- forms and armor made them look like warriors suddenly returned from the holy wars of Pal Thefr coal black chargers and snow white plum well caloulated to attuns the mindto that proper p' of admiration Which should greet an Byperor, wh mounted on a Bucephalus ora broomstick.

Receipt of the News of the Conclusion of Gpace by the Prus- sian Chambers—Lord Clarendon's Haughty Treatment of Baron Marteuffel—The Hinckeldy Duel—A Police Despot Converted into a Political Mariyr—OCurtous Political Intrigque—Institutions of Public Credit—Railways in Prussia, dc., de. At last peace is signed, and the tremevduons conflict that threatened to shake the political fabric cf Europe to to its foundations, has been brought to a eudden, and, itis to be feared, a ‘most lame and impotent cono!uaion;”” but improbuble as such an event was deemed only a tow months since, ithad become a matter of such cectainty, ever since the adhesion of Prussia to the Conference that it has scarcely excited an emotion of surprise. The intel- ligence was communicated to the Chambers yesterday, by M. Vender Heydt, the Minister ot Trade, and roceived by both houses with the usual demonstrations of satis- faction and expressions of thanks to the King, tor per- severing in the “firm and wise policy” that had tended to confine the war within its original limits, and thas ecoelerated its termination. Our Premier, M. de Man- teufel, ts expected back in this capital towards tue end of the week, and is said to be remarkably well pleased with bis expedition, which proved a striking contrast to bis diplomutie début at Olmutz. He was treated with marked cordiality by his brother plenipotentiariss, exeepting by Lord Clarendon, who was fool{fsh enough to show the chagrin felt by tho British ministry, at the admissicn of Prussia to ths Congress, while the more astute Buol made bonne mine au mauvais jeu, and affeoted to be highly delighted at meeting his Prussian cclisague, whom he had-undoubtedly done his utmost to exclud@, On good terms with Louis Napoleon and Alex- ander II., who are probably about to ausume the same position in Europe that was ocsupied by tieir two uncles subsequent to the treaty of Tilsit, Prussia maz afford to despise the impotent spite of Austria, and her relations with England are lisely to be improved by the fall of Lora Palmerston and the accession of the Zbnis to power, which is looted upon as an inevitable consequence of the peace. The marriage of Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the King’s nephew, to tne Princeas Royal of Eng- land, is now eettled, and this domestic connection cannot fail 10 exexcise comsiderable influence on the political un- deretanding between tho two countries, When I gave youan account of the duel which took place near Berlin couple of wecks ago, and which proved fatal to the grand master of our ‘‘Santissima Herman- dad,” I little thought that attempts would be made to ex- alt the vio‘Im to the dignity of a martyr, and even—proh pudor!—oi ® martyr of liberalism. I don’t know whether M. Hinokeldey himself would have been more astounded or annoyed, if he could have foreseen the posthumous renown that awaited him, and listened to tie funeral ora- tion held ever his corpse by the London Times—a tit An- tony for such a Cwear. He, the terror of democrats, the organizer of a rystem of high banded and arbitrary police rule previously unknown in Prussia, the fscourge of the press, the incarnation of stern and pedantic bureaucracy, to be represented as the assertor and vic- tim of those very ideas which it was the object of his sife to persecute and supprers! Your German readers, of whom, I believe, there are many in New York, acquaini- ed with the antecedents of M. Hinckelley, acd with the feelings entertained toward him by an immense majority of the population, will be most astonished at thia reval- sion cf public opinion, It results in a great measure from the dislike felt for the high aristocracy, or junkers, as they ere called, which has made people oblivious for awhile, ot the many and just reasons of eomp aint af- forded them by the unscrupulous manner im which the defunct President was in the habit of performing his functions. In fact, M. Hinckeldey was so acoustomed to exercise despotic sway over all around him, that he had no idea of any one daring to oppose his authority,and was Jed to treat the nobility in the same way as he did the bourgevisie, who kiss the rod that chastises them, ani the “vile multitude,” (to use M. Thiers’ expression,) who are obliged to submit to the indignities they are unable to avenge. The nobles, however, and especially that part’ of them belonging to the army, who have aiways had a grucge against the police, bave both the will and the power to resent an josult; if injured, they make common cause sgainet the offencer, and it is only to be regretted that the other classes have not a little ofthe same spirit. Were the minions of authority but conscious that any pet pd ied aid would mee! with firm resistance and prompt retaliation, they would keep within proper bounds, and be leas decee to imagine themselves supe- rior not only to the dictates of law and justice, but even these conventional courtesies which form the mecessa- ry conditions of civilized lite. However little we may eympathize with the Prussian Junkers in other reapects, and whatever opinions way be en‘ertained of duelling in the abstract, it is perhaps as well that there is at least one class in the State posreseed of sufficient determins- tion to give a check to that police despotism which has become the dominant régime of contirental Europe. For I wish it to be distinctly understood that, although Hinckeldey was killed by ® member of the aristocratic varty, it would be an egregious mistake to believe that he teil a victim to the assertion of liberal princi- plee, or even to the rigid impariiality with which, by an abuse of words, he is stated to have per- formed his “duty.” In England they used to thank God that they had a Houre of Lords; on casting their eyes on France and contemplating the dead level of servitude to which that na‘ion bas been reduced by the absolute do- minion of the Fouches and Carliers, the Prussians might be ost inclined to thank God that = have got Jun- kers. vethaps you will say that in this onse they, as well as the Knglish, would be thankful for small tavors, Some excitement bas been created here by the appear- avce of s pamphlet, privately bat pretty extensively cir- culated, reflecting severely upon the conduct of several ofthe highest perronages in the kingdom, in connexion with a mysterious sflar that occurred « few months since. It wil) be recollected that » person was taken up at Potséam on suspicion of having purloined, or surrep- titiously obtained posression of despatches and other popers received by Goneral Gerlach, the King’s confiden- tia! aid de camp, Count Maaster, the Prussian mili- tary commissary at St. Petersburg, which documents found their way into the hands of the French ambassador at this court, who was thus enabled to farnish his master with important information relative to the Russian opera- tions in the Ortmea. The detinquent, a retired officer of the name of Techea, has been in duranoe vile ever since, but very little tranepired concerning the matter in public, and it was in a fair way of being forgotten altogether, when it was brought into notice by the pamphiel just alluded to, If its statements are to be trusted, the ramifications of this affair extend much tur‘her than was origioaly suppored. It seems th only in the pay of the Marquis de Moustier and of the late President of Police, but in that of no less a person than Baron Monteuffel himself, who employed him to imercent the correspondence of Gerlach and of M. Nie- buhr, the King’s private , and @ #0n of the cele- brated historian, in the hopes of finding materials in it to prejudice the King against them and deprive them of his good graces. In the case of Niebuhr these int: s eppear to have suceessfal, for he has retired from Court and on a journey to Italy, ostensibly for the benefit of his health, As for Gerlach, he is too firmly rooted in the King’s favor to be easily rem althongh he {sx setiourly compromised by some of the documents purloined, moze especially by a report addressed to hin WAL of his tamivars, whom he stationed as s spy about the person of the heir apparent. It romalns to be seen what answer will be given to these disclosures, and whether the Usage A in this affair, which have hitherto been secret, will be transferred to the public tribunals. This would be the only way in which the per- sons incriminated could clear themselves from the acousa- tions levelled against them, The Inatitutic of Public Credit, in imitation of the French Crédit Mobiiier, which I mentioned in my last communication, are rapidly over every part of Germany. One was lately cvtablinhed at Hanover, and now there has a) the prospectus of a similar asso- ciation which is to be opened at Leipsic under the name of A Deutsche Credit, Austalt (General Associa- tion of Credit for Germany,) and has ly obtained a charter from the Saxon government. The capival of this 9 i? to aoneisi of ten millions of thalers, in cfone hur red thalers, to be tostityted aa fo: lors: one million at the dlsporal of the Saxon government; two snd one-tnird will for the members of the com- mittee: thee and one- for in the cities of Leipsic and Dresden, by denizens of the country, (kivgdom of Sexouy,) and fa aididon, such part aA 1@ not required by govesoment of the millions se: part for the same; three wad one third millions to be tubscribed out of thecouctry. To show the manta which prevails now for takiog shares in such imailtations, | need ‘oply menticn that instead of the three millions and a third which are placed at the disposal of foreign capitaliaty, by this Lei psic bank, as adore, supsciiptions ty thea noant of no lees than 44 millions have been offered ;and at enother bank lately established at Meinioger (» wmau town in Saxony, cf 6,400 inbabiian's, and the residence of tus reigning Duke of Saxe doeininges), whisa oly issues 20,000 Abares, at 100 thalers each, the subssmptions smounted to 401,684,500 ibaiers, 6 toxt persons wisai to subsoribe 13.489 thyiers could only ve accommodat with one shure of 100 thalers, or less than one per oat of the smouat applied for. On the ether bend, the two institutions adout to be ea- tablished in Berita, of which I gove rome perticulars in my Jaet, have been stitted im their birtla by an augounce- ment in the Prussian Moniteur, of the 26.0 ult., stating that ‘after 1ereivingsthe reort of the ministry reupect- ing the projects submited for estab ishing extensive ta- witiutions if pubic crecit m Prussia, bis tojesty, ta confo mity with the unsnimous opinion of bis advisers, han deciced that no charters are to be granted to them for the present.’ The offictal journal contelme @ lece-winded expianation of the motives waich have led bo this resolution, a short abstract of which may in- tereet your readers. ’ It begina with saying, “ that these institutions were to be estaclished according to the exam- ple we by other nations for the encouragemont of all kinds of industrial enterprises, the improving of the means of ecmmunication; the construction of canal, raiiwayr, &c.; and that the capital or funda re- quired for such establishments eould only be ound by ‘Sescciations of moneyed men. or raised on snares by pus- lic subeoription.”” Itis admitted ‘that there is a diffi- culty in disposing of boncs, or otber stocx bearing imte- rest, tseued by public offices, muvicipal or rural corpora- tucps, for improvements or building purposes, aé such stocks ave not loosed upon in the money warkot with se favorable an eye as rhares emitted by aeacctations known to be under careful management and under the direction of men of busixess.’’ “All these points and advaxteges,”” says the official statement, “have been taken into consiferation; but they are counterbalanced by the injurious effeets arising frou the monopcli-i:g influence uf auch power'ul institutions on the money mazke:, It ie natural to presume that they woud makeur of theiremormoux resources for purposes of their own, and that while asaivting those enterprises which appear to them advantageous and worthy of aup- port. they wight refuse their cu-operation to others nut less deserving of it, but which for some cance or othe- they thiek proper to discoursge.’” Severa: instances a then given of tue beautt/ul elects of ‘a great bamkiog power, reigning paramount over the money market, and whose interert oces not atways coincide with the pune sod,” atier which the report proceeds as follows: =: He just at the present time ciroumstances are arising w!ion make it more than ever acvisadle to retuse, at I the moment, the oonsent of government to appi for carrying out euch pr’jacts.

A pericd in which @ reaction of this nature may shortly apprebtoded does not seem 10 warrant the e- teblisuzent of institutions which, ia toe present uneet- tled rate of the money maiket, would oaly contribute te accelerate the crisis, by floo’ing it with an immease amotnt of newly icsue? cick, and thus giving « frech. impetus to that spirit of agiofage which is already hurry- jog on a catastrophe.” it must be acknowledged that even without the inter- ference of those f tebaticn monetary institutions mow: so mpch in vogue the amount of capital devoted to pur- poses of general utility, and more espscially to grea: fa- dustrial enterprises, bas been cont nualiy on the ia- crease in this country for the last ten or fifieen years, Up, to 3840 only nineteen mil ions of tbalera had. been laid out in the construction of railways; in 1860 tais eum bad increased to 164 mifliona, and 1852 to 215 mil- Mons.

Since 1849 joint stock compenies for other purposes, no Jee than eighty-ceven in number, have been charter- ed and got into operation, with a capital of fo three millions, tncluding those establiahed for operations. Nive insurance companies have sprang up during the last thres years, with an aggregate capital of forty millions; aod #ix joint stock associations fer erect- ing spicning ills have been started, with a capital of ten and s half millions.
