The Treaty of 1856.

LONDON, March 13.—In the house of Lords, tonight, Earl Granville announced that the Conference of the Powers on the Eastern Question had closed, and a treaty been signed at the Foreign Office, abrogating the restrictions on the admission of foreign men-of-war, into the Dardanelles and Bosphorus. The Porte, in times of peace, may admit in those waters the naval vessels of friendly Powers when needed to enforce the treaty of 1856. The Danubian Commission is prolonged 12 years. The protocol expressly declares that no Power can relieve itself of the obligations of the treaty without the consent of all the signatories.
