has been submitted by M. Rouland, the Minister

archbishopric. The other names are, I understand,
Mgr. Daniel, Bishop of Coutance ; Mgr. de Ga-
vignies, Bishop of Soissons ; Mgr. de Bonnechose,
Bishop of Evreux ; and finally, Mgr. Blanquart de
Bailleul, Archbishop of Rouen ; but what I am

THE NEW BESSARABIAN FRONTIER.
It will be observed that the note, announcing the
result of the Paris Conferences, which has been
published by the Moniteur, says that in return for
the cession cf Tobak and Bolgrad, Russia shall re-
tain the tow n of Komrat, with a territory of above
330 square v ersts. Komrat is not mentioned in or-
dinary geographical works, but it belongs to Bessa-
rabia, and is situated on the right bank of the Yal-
pouk at about 65 versts above Bolgrad, in the zone
comprised between that river and the Pruth. The
town did not exist in 1812, when was signed the
treaty of pea,:e of Bucharest, which added Bessa-
rabia to the empire of the Czars. It is only of re-
cent creation, and is built on the site on which for-
merly stood the small town of Arka, famous for
having given birth to Prince Bessaraba, who first
reigned over the country, and from whom the name
of the province is derived. The town of Komrat
is third in rank after Kichenew, the chief town of
the province. The Russians propose, it is said, to
make Komrat the centre of the Bulgarian colonies
and to establish a custom-house in the place. The
colonies are prosperous, and consist altogether of
85 villages.
