THE PARIS CONFEREINTAS.

The Debats is the only Paris journal that offers
an account of the proceedings of the first sitting of
the new Conference. The details given by this
journal are confirmed, on a most important point,
by the Nerd of Brussels. The Conference met, as
previously stated, at half-past 1 in the after noon
of Wednesday, under the presidency of Count
Walewski, and it comprised all the secondary
Plenipotentiaries who had participated in the la-
bours of the first congress, with the exception of
the second representative of France. Count Kis-
seleff, the Russian Minister, was not present at
this sitting, contrary to what had been anticipated,
and his Court was represented by Baron de Bruuow
alone. The Debats says :---
"The president explained the motive and the object
of the meeting, stating that, when it was sought to carry
into execution Art. 20 of the treaty of the 30th March,
difficulties arose which obstructed the operations of the
delegates charged with the establishment of the new
frontier between Bessarabia and Moldavia. These diffi-
culties referred to two points:: the possession of the Island
of Serpents, situated iu the Black Sea, opposite the
moteths of the Dunube, and the possession of the town
of Bulgrad, The powers, he added, should have come
to an amicable arrangement with respect to the means
of terminating these difficulties ; a protocol has been
prepared, and it is only necessary for the powers to adopt
and sign it. Russia has consented in advance to abandon
Bolgrad, and to allow that little town to be annexed to
the principality of Moidavia. In exchange, she will
receive a strip of territory situated about twenty kilo-
metres from the Danube, between the river Yalpuck
and another river of lesser importance. In the midst
of this strip stands the tomb of Conrad, the population
of which amounts to about 3,000 souls. It has been
stated that the conference, in order to prevent new diffi-
culties, would itself fix, before separating, the details of
the new line, by means of documents already furni-hed
by the delegates, or that, at the least, if it were not suffi-
ciently enlightened on the question, it would refer the set-
tlement to these same delegates, and would fix a period
which should witness the termination of their labours.
This might have been of great importance ; the delay
which has taken place in tracing the line cf frontiers bas
authorised Austria and England to maintain their
respective occupations, and this motive would have
ceased on the day when the frontiers would have been
estalslished, and the territory handed over to Moldavia
by Russia. The conference, it is said, has delegated to
the commi,sion the charge of definitively establishing
the frontier, and it has not, thought proper to institute a
delay, as had been reported. Meanwhile the occupation
of the Princip-diiies by the armies of Austria, and the
occupation of the Black Sea by England, will continue.
It is, however, added that Austria has renewed her
i
declaration of the 4th April, with respect to her n enttoi
of speedi'y withdrawing her troops into
her own terri-
tory. The Island of Serpests . remain in possession
of Turkey ; the lighthouse established there some years
ago in obedience to the reiterated demands of commerce

The statement made by the Debats, relative to
the determination of the conference to leave the
settlement of the boundary question to the com-
miNsion appointed for that identical purpose, is
borne out by a Paris correspondent to the .Nord,
who writes :
" Lord Cowley and Baron de Hubner insisted on the
new line of the Russian frontiers being verified on the
spot by the commission which has already accomplishol
the first portion of 'he labour This would pi olong the
occupation of the Principalities and of the Black Sea by
about two month.."
The Ford accompanies the above with the fol-
lowing remarks :
" We experience great difficulty in b lieving in the sue
case of these moteeuvres. It is even singular that they
should have been attempted, fix it has always been stated
that the delay which had occurred in the meeting of the
coderence arose from the desire of avoiding any compli-
cation, by arriving at a previous concert on ail prelimi•
nary points. Should similar manceuvres take place, will
it not be said that time has been uselessly lot t, and that
the aim of the conference, which, in the worts of the
Moniteur, is to put an end' to the diffif Oise which ob-
struct the execution of Art. 20 of the t•raty of 30th
