The next statement of the Debats is that—

"The Conference has decided that no portion of the
Turkish territory is to be occupied by the Allied armies
under any pretext whaterer, and that those armies will
evacuate the points on which they are established imme-
diately atter the ratification of the treaty. According to
this, when the treaty of the 30th March shall have ac-
quired, by the ratification of the Sovereigns, the cer-
tain character which it does not possess at present,
the armies of France, England, and Sardinia will aban-
don the Crimea and Constantinople, and return to.
their country, while the Austrian armies will quit the
Danubian Principalities. Some foreign journals have.
stated to the contrary, but we believe them to be
badly informed on the subject. Their error may be
in any case easily explained. The Allied Powers, anti-
cipating a continuation of the war and its development
on a larger scale, have accumulated immense supplies
in the Crimea and around Constantinople. It will
take a long period to transport the immense materiel
again into the stores of England, France, and Sar-
dinia, and the year 1856 will probably not suffice.
It is evident that the materiel must remain guarded by
the allied troops in those distant countries until its re-
moval has Leen effected. It is, perhaps, this indispensable
act which has been taken for a temporary occupation of
the Turkish territory by the allied armies."

The Debats next describes the regulation of the
fourth point, which refers to the Christian subjects
of the Porte :

• '• Abdul Medjid bas acted spontaneously, and in virtue
of his own authority; the immunities now enjoyed by
the Christian subjects of the Porte are the concessions
of their Sovereign ; the new rights of the Christians only
repose on acts of internal administration, which do not
bind the Sultan nor (above all) his successors. Some
members of the Conference conceived doubts with re-
spect to the stability of the Imperial decrees, and de-
sired to annex them to the treaty of peace, or to
embody them in that treaty. This gave rise to a de-
bate, in which the Sovereignty of the Sultan and the
dignity of his crown appeared to come in contact with
the most respected rights of the Christians. It is assured
that the Congress has adopted a medium course. The
decrees of the Sultan will remain as they are ; they will
be neither annexed to nor embodied in the treaty, but
an article of the treaty will allude to these new acts and
to the new concessions of the Sultan in terms which will
result in the engagement of the Sultan not to disavow
his arts, and in a guarantee to the Christians by all the
contracting powers."
The Debats next alludes to the proposals ad-
vanced by M. de Cavour in the Congress
" Necessary reforms in Italy were spoken of in the
Congress, and it was asked if it were not wiser and more
politic to give satisfaction, which might be limited, freely
to nations, than to be exposed to revelutionary move-
ments which are daily becoming more diMcult to re-
strain. It is assured that these grave questions have
been debated in the Congres3, and that it has proposed
to revert to them."

The following passage characterises the part
taken by Lord Clarendon in the proceedings of the
Congress
"Lord Clarendon, who took a grand part in the dis-
cussions of the Conference, and who is justly considered
as one of the principal authors of the treaty, had already
traced out its programme in a speech which he pro-
nounced before the House of Lords on the 31st January,
in reply to the address proposed in answer to the
Queen's speech. Matters have passed as desired by
the Minister of the Queen of England. The Em-
peror Alexander, who, in accepting the conditions
proposed by Austria, had resigned himself to a pain-
ful sacrifice of the amour-propre of Russia, has adhered
honourably to the letter and spirit of the conditions. He
gathers to-day the fruits of this conduct, full of honour
and ability ; not only has he rendered the conclusion of
a peace easy, but he has allowed the Allied Powers to
subscribe to conditions which give to Europe the gua-
rantees of security it required without wounding the
honour and dignity of Russia.
The Congress met yesterday at 2 o'clock at the
Hotel of Foreign Affairs for the settlement of dif-
ferent minor points. It is expected that a month
will be taken up in this work. The Plenipotenti-
aries are not to leave Paris before the exchange of
the ratifications.
