THE PARIS CONFERENCES.
The following is the article in the Moniteur,
announcing the close of the Conferences :--
"The representatives of the contracting Courts
to the Congress of Paris assembled this day (Tues-
day, Jan. 6) in conference, at the Hotel of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, signed a protocol,
which puts an end to the difficulties encountered
in the execution of the treaty on the 30th of
March.

" It is known that the nature of the locality did
not allow the Boundary Commission to come to an
understanding upon all the points of the new
frontier line between Turkey in Europe and Russia;
on the other hand, it became necessary to supply
for the silence which the treaty had kept relative
t) the fate of the Isle of Serpents ; finally, the
strict application of the 21st article, by annexing
the Delta of the Danube to Moldavia, took away
from the immediate sovereignty of Turkey a terri-
tory which formerly was directly a dependency of
the Sublime Porte.

"Inspired with the resolutions of the Congress,
and wishing to conciliate all interests, the Con-
ference, by- unanimous consent, has decided that
the frontier line shall follow the Vale of Trojan as
tar as the river Yalpuck, leaving Bo]grad and Tabak
to Moldavia, and that Russia shall retain on the
right bank of that stieam the town of Komrat, with
a territory of about 300 square versts.
" The Isle of Serpents has been considered as
belonging to the mouths of the Danube, and it has
been agreed that it goes with their destination.
" The Conference has recognised that it was the
intention of the Congress to re-establish, by Art.
21 of the Treaty of Peace, in their former condition,
the territories situated west of the new boundary,
and to conform itself to the previsions of the nego-
tiators of the peace ; it has decided that those ter-
ritories shall be annexed to Moldavia, with the
exception of the Delta of the Danube, which re-
turns directly to Turkey.
"It has been decided, moreover, that on the
30th of next March at latest, the fixing of the
boundary shall be effected, and that, at that same
date, the Austrian troops and the British squadron
shall have evacuated the Danubian Principalities
and the internal waters of Turkey.
The Commission of the Principalities, the mem-
bers of which are already at Constantinople, may
therefore at that period proceed to the provinces,
and fulfil the mission entrusted to it. As soon as
that Commission shall have terminated its labours,
it will render an account thereof to the Conference,
which will meet at Paris according to the terms of
the 25th Article of the treaty, to sanction, by a
convention, the final agreement come to between
the cwntracting parties relative to the organisation
of the Principalities."
