TEE POINT IN DISPUTE.

The chief difference for the settlement of which we
are threatened with a eric,nd waitress at Parisi lies within a
very small compel. In writing it is comprised within a sen-
tence; in topography within two or three miles. By the
20th article of the Treaty of Paris, in exchange for certain
places, and " iv order more fully to secure thefreedon el
IM navigation of Me Danube,' the Emperor of Kumla con-
sented to a recuacstioa of his frontier in B bia.
For this purpose the article declares that the new
frontier, is falling into the Akermenn road, shall
follow it to the Val de Trojan, pass to the south
of Llgrad, and wet md the course of the
puck to the Height of Saratsika. "Delegates of the eon•
treating pouts shall On, in its details, the line of the sew
frontier.' It is assented that the detail, of the frontier
would require a minute local investigation, in which the
several contracting powers should take part. The object
of the article is mom esly stated to be more fully to Recurs
the earigatioe of the Danube from the dominion of Resets.
The article could intend nothing elee then to deprive
Russia of any port or fortress within the mouth of the
Danube. Wten, then, Is the neat clause the new free
tier is described as pusieg to the south of Bolgrad,
that name must indicate some place not immediately on the
waters of the Danube Indeed, the new frontier is described
as still following the Val de Trojan, which moves the
river Yalpuck s 1 miles from the extended waters
forming the lake of that name. The new frontier weld not
touch those semen without luring the 'mien earthlusk
called the Val de Trajen as to no so it touched it. Indeed,
it would bare merely to cross the Val instead of following
it. Thai for the description to be coaforteable to the
topography, consistent with itself, and not ridiculously at
variance with the intention assigoed, it must he a strictly
Weird frontier, and the Bolgrad designated must be no port
in the outset sense of that word, bat some mere town. Now
the old Bolgrad, the B Agred of our popular maps, or Bolgrad
Tabae as it is also called, is just such apiece some milts up the
river Yalpack, where it intersects the Val de Trojan and
otherwise agrees with the conditions laid down in the 20th
article. There is also a new Sniped, at the point where the
river falls into the lake, as we have said, several miles from
the Val de Trojan, and so much of a port that a frontier line
puslog to the south of it would actually include some of
the waters of the Dumb., of which the Lake of Yalpuck
must be coesidered a mere inlet. If, thee, the 20th article
is to be made wow of at all, it mast refer to the old town
on thorium. not to the new port on the lake. That ie the
question in dispute, and unless the coatractieg powers are
prepared to avow, one end all, that they have rut their
hands to utter nonsense and folly, they must endemism:l not
Bolgrad, the Danubian port, but Bolgrad, the old BMWS-
bleu town.—Times.
