P.S. 5th April.—Last night I was roused up by an
express from Bagdad, bringing a telegraphic message
from Constantinople, announcing that peace had been
signed at Paris on the 4th March, so all further arrange

peace was signed at Paris on the 4th instant between
England and Persia."
I had just prepared an elaborate review of the pro
posed treaties as submitted bv Mr. Murrav—annotations
by Sir Justin Shiel—comments by Lord Clarendon, the
Board of Trade, &c., &c., from all which I had com
piled the terms which I myself recommend. All may
now be useless, but I forward my despatch notwith-
