Plenipotentiaries Agree On Neutrality Principles Declaration
The plenipotentiaries declare principles for international neutrality and maritime conduct. They agree on abolition of privateers, rules on neutral and enemy goods, and that blockades must be effective. They invite others to accede and note the declaration binds only upon acceding powers.
Diplomatic Plans Debate Greek Crisis and Belgian Press
The protocol report summarizes plenipotentiaries discussing Greece’s troubled state and calls for protecting courts to craft remedies. It notes France and Britain seek Greece occupation end, Belgium press excesses, and proposals for Rome modernization, Italian unification risks, and potential troop withdrawals.
Interchange of ideas in Congress provides benefit

Russian Troops Reviewed on Mackenzie Plateau by Allied Command
General Luders inspected about eight thousand picked Russian soldiers on the Mackenzie plateau in the presence of Marshal Pelissier and Generals Codrington and La Marmora. Bands impressed observers as officers mingled, then a dejeuner followed. Officers and others toured nearby camp sites, with many French Sardinian and English visitors observed. A separate notice recalls a near clash at a French post where Englishmen attempted to steal fowls, leading to a brief exchange of fire before retreat.
