THE RUSSO-CHINESE TREATY.

ST. PETERSBURG, ArGCST 1.
The official Gazette of the Senate, No. 56, oontains
the text, in the Russian language, of the treaty be-
tween Russia and China, negotiated by Admiral
Count Paniutine. and signed by him at Tien-trio,
June 1, 1868. This treaty received the Rani= im-
perial sanction on the 29th August last year, and the
exchange of the ratifications took place at Pekia on
the 12th of April, 1869. It resolves itself into three
principal parte. It provides for the extension of
Russian commerce in China, both by sea and land;
for the protection of Russian subjects in that tionntry
from Chinese laws and procedure; and for the
reoognitiou of tha Russian religious missionaries.
together with an acknowledgment, en the part of
the Chinese Emperor, of the beneficent influence of
Christianity, which reads rather like a gratuitous
capitulation from the chief of a heathen and singu-
larly intolerant state.

The Berlin correspondent of the Times says:—
" As several of the Prumiso provincial papers have given
carreacy to rumours on the subject of the King's health,
I think it as well to mention the present state
of the royal sufferer. His mind has been dearer
darks the last few weeks, and he hes been able
to take • greater interest In the pumas and
thinp near Wm. But in proportion as the intellect has
became more active, the vital forms, as frequently happens
fa dm alms of diseases he Is Mooring under, have simibly
diminished. Still the sireptosas us not so rave se roadie
rumour ham represented therm, sad Was a midis cassis

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MOIL OCT& ONM

PARIS, TUZADAY EYLNING.
This morning at six o'clock the Emperor quid

unexpectedly left the Chalons camp for Plombieres.
For reasons which I am not able to explain, orders
were sent to the evening papers to suppress this fact,
but they cams too late for the Pays, which alone
published it. His Majesty is expected back at St.
Cloud on Thursday morning.
Those--and it appears there were many—who
construed a paragraph in the Moniker last week as
meaning that the Zurich Conference would meet on
Saturday, were mistaken. The plenipotentiaries
were not all there on that day. Even yesterday
they only managed to have a pro forma meeting at
6 o'clock in the evening. The general belief in Paris
is that the news of the sipature of a definitive treaty
et pesos will arrive in time for the Emperor
to make ass of it in a speech which it is supposed he
means to make to the army on the 14th. Should
this anticipation be realised, the treaty of Zurich
will beyond doubt be " a conclusion in which nothing
is concluded." No doubt the plenipotentiaries of
the three late belligerent powers may, if they confine
their attention to that sole object, define the terms
upon which they Olen to fight, and before
the end of this week convert into a treaty
of peace the armistice which expires on August 16.
Bat this treaty will not be a carrying out of the base
of the extraordinary covenant at Villafranca. All
the great—all the difficult questions which the two
despotic Emperors presumed to arrange between
themselves at that memorable meeting will re-
main for the decision of • European con-
gress or of the sword, unless, the parties
to it, constraiaed by circumstances to be tardily '
wise, shall leave the &nation to the people of
Italy themselves. An intrigue which deserves
notios, is on foot for bringing forward Prince
Napoleon as a candidate for Tuscany, rather
than that province should be (in accordance
with the wishes of its inhabitants) annexed
to Sardinia. A letter circulated by government
journals in France says that " everybody in Florence
speaks of Prince Napoleon as their future sovereign,
and that people chalk on the walls . Viva Napoleon
(Jerome), Xing of Etruria."
A report is circulated in official quarters this even-
1n that, contrary to previous announcements, the
Emperor will go to the camp of St. Maar oa the
14th, take the command of the army, and lead it
into Paris.

The Bourse has been very heavy to-day. The
great turning point of 70fr. has been lost in the
Bente, which left off at 69fr. 700. and 69fr. 90c.
with a fall of 30c. and 20e. Mobilier, however, rose
9fr. 7k. Railways were from 3fr. to Mr. lower.
The Press. says in its weekly oommercial review
that there is no change worth noticing since last
week. People hops to see an active late season, but
up to this time great caution is shown and few °ps-
i rations of any magnitude are undertaken. The
Bfauceire fair which closed on July 31 went off very
badly. The greater part of the goods brought to it
were either sold at a sacrifice or taken home.
The Duke of Malakoff, Commander-in-Chief of
the Array of Observation, on leaving Nancy on
flatuidey, issued the following order of the day
Warta, the date of the 6th :

quitting you, I take with me the pleasing cer-
tainty that if the Emperor had found it necessary to mobilise
the Army el Obairvaiks, you would have shown yourselves
Oa worthy rivals of your predecessors, and of the noble oon.
queen of Montebello, Paleo'ro, Magenta, and Solferino.
Soldier% continue to set an example of that discipline and
of those militsey virtues whioh foreigners admire, and which
make you the eternal glory of the country. If, which God
forbid, the country should be menaced, I shall request the
Emperor, as the greatest favour, the honour of fighting at
your head, end of attaching an additional renown to year
eagles. Mammal. Summits% Duke de Malakoff.
