THE TREATY OF PEACE.

We subjoin the opinioos OF some OIL the eaa-
ing English papers, on the subject OF the
Treaty. The London Times declares that II
has got "what is OF much more importance
Than the Treaty Itself" viz: the substance Of
,he supplementary and separate articles, or ra'h-
e, the separate Treaties referred to in tina, do
cumerr, and explanatory Of sona- Of its prin>
cipal provisions. The Times proceeds to give
the following:
BY one Of them, the sums which the Fort
i, to pay to Russia, as indemnify for the ex-
penses Of the war, and for the losses Of the Ru'-
sian mere hants, are assessed, the former at TO-
600 600 Of ducats, nearly 5000, oooi sterling {:
the ;atr-r at l 500, 900 ducats, about 100000
sums which il should appear 10 be entirely
OUT Of the power Of the SULTAN TO discharge.
"rhcy are 10 be paid in instalmen,s, and
upon this point We shall have remark 10 sub.

staimen,s Of about hall a million each, aud The
smaller in four ius,almen,s Of unequal magnl-
tude, increasing as they SO on, aud at smaller
intervals.

you'd the Danube; and when The fourth and the
whole Of the sum OF ten millions Of ducars has
been discharged, they are 10 qui, the Turkish
territory altogether.
"By these articles it should indeed appear
that Russia has in fact secured 10 herself the
perpetual possession of toe municipalities, un-
less some extraordinary gift Of Providence
should enable the Sultan 10 raise The sum Of
Ave millions in ten years. We will, however,

By the o. her supplementary treaty the re-

The Courier, which is The official journal,
thus speaks, on the l4'h October:
The portion Of territory retained in Asia,
on the eastern coast Of the Black S.'a, is much
smaller han had been anticipated. II contains
no important towns, and only one or Two for
tresses Of lille strength. and really seems q
posse SIS no value than as IL forms a more securs
frontier against he incursions Of the tribes
who vrrious periods endangered, by their
wanton hostili,i"s, the exis,e"c- at peace be.

OF territory is gained or lost on either side,
far as the question Of positive eession is
cernsd. When we have the separate Con,en
tons before Us, which regulate ,he amount Of
the Indemnify 20 be paid bv the Porte, and the

Iopean dominions, b. siacere or affected. Al,
p'essnt he subject is involved in doobt which
fuller informa' ion alone can enable Us 10 solve.
On he 18th The same paper adds:

lished accounts given by the French and Ger,
