TBE TREATY OF PARIS.

The protocol signed at Paris on the Gth of Janu-
ary last, for carrying out the provisions of the
treaty of March 30, 1856, was issued yesterday,
with facsimiles of its two annexes, being maps of
the districts and territories disposed of, with traces
of the new frontiers, and bearing the signatures of
all the plenipotentiaries. We subjoin the official
translation of the protocol in its completeness,
although apart from the annexes the topographical
definitions are only imperfectly intelligible.
[Translation.]
" PROTOCOL SIGNED AT PARIS, JANUARY 6, 1857.

"Present :—The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France,

Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, Turkey.
" The Plenipotentiaries of the Courts of Austria,
France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia,
and Turkey, duly authorised, having assembled in
Conference in order to devise the means of ter-
minating the difficulties which the Boundary Com-
mission, charged with the execution of Article
XX. of the Treaty of Paris, has encountered in consequence
of the position of places, have decided, after an examination
of the reports of the Boundary Commissioners, that the said
frontier line shall be definitively traced according to the
Plan No, 1, initialled by the undersigned, and annexed to
the present Protocol ; that it shall, consequently, commence
from the Black Sea, at a point 2,936 metres to the east of
Lake Bourna-Sola, marked on the said plan by the letter
b, and following a broken line shown by the letters c, d, e,
1, k, j, i, h, m, n, o, where it joins the Akerman read,
which it follows as far as the letterp ; proceeding from
thence to the Val de Trajan by the letters q, r, s, t, u, v, x,
21, d 1, el, f 1, gl.
1; following the Vat de Trajeu as far as the letter p 1 ;
again taking the Akerman road as far as the ravine of Ali-Aga
which it ascends as far as the letter t 1; passing thence by the
letters ul, v 1,x1,2/1; reaching from thence in a straight line,
the Val de Trajan at the point where it is intersected by
the River Kai akourt coming from Koubey, and following
it as far as the River Yalpouk, the mid channel of which
it ascends to the mouth of the Kirsaou, to the north of
Kongas, and at the letter A ; ascending this stream till
the line meets the road from Komrat to Borogani, at the
letter A 1, which road it follows as far as the letter B, and
thence ascends the Lower Yalpougcl as far as the letter C,
and proceeds as far as the letter D, where it meets the
Saratsika, which it ascends as far as the letter E ; proceed-
ing from thence towards the Pruth, by the line indicated
by the letters ss 2, x 2, y 2, a 2, r 2, a 3, 6 3, c 3, d 3, e 3,
f 3, g 3, h 3, i 3, j 3, and le, 3.
" The Plenipotentiaries having agreed that the marking
out of the boundary, and the delivery of the territory to
Moldavia, shall be completed by the 30th of March next,
at the latest, it is understood that the Austrian troops
shall have evacuated the Principalities of Wallachia and
Moldavia, and that the British squadron shall have quitted
the Black Sea and the Bosphoros, at latest, at the same
date.

" The Convention of the Straits will, from that time,
come into force.
" The Plenipotentiaries agree that the islands included
between the different branches of the Danube at its month,
and forming the Delta of that river as shown by the Plan.
No. 2 hereunto annexed, and initialled, shall, instead of
being annexed to the Principality of Moldavia, as stipu-
lated by Article XXI. of the Treaty of Paris, be replaced
under the immediate sovereignty of the Sublime Porte, of
which they formerly held.
" The Plenipotentiaries agree, moreover, that the Treaty
of Paris having, like the Treaties previously concluded be-
tween Russia and Turkey, been silent with regard to the
Isle of Serpents, that island is to be considered as an ap-
pendage to the Delta of the Danube, and must, in conse-
quence, follow its destination.
" In the general interest of maritime commerce, the
Ottoman Government engages to maintain on that island a
lighthouse destined to render secure the navigation of
vessels proceeding to the Danube and to the port of Odessa;
the River Commission, established by Article XVII. of
the Treaty of Paris for the purpose of maintaining the
mouths of that river, and the neighbouring parts of the
sea, in a navigable state, will see to the regular perfor-
mance of the service of such lighthouse.
" The present Protocol shall have the same force and
validity as if it had assumed the form of a Convention ; but
it is understood that, when the Boundary Commission
shall have concluded its labours, a Couver.tion shall be
signed by the High Contracting Parties, recording the
frontier such as shall have been established by the Commis-
sioners, and the resolutions taken on the subject of the
of Serpents and the Delta of the Danube.

BRUNOW, VILLAMARINA, MEHEMMED DJEMIL."
