by M de sacy giving concise and apparently authori
tative narrative Of the proceedings at the Vienna Con-
ferences. The two first points discussed and de-
cded at the tngs Of the 18th and 25th nsts The first
point places the rights of the three Princpaes under
the collective protectorate Of the great Powers The
second hberates the navigation Of the Danube, and
places all future questions relating it under the ju
risdction Of mixed commission Russia preserving the
ortresses on the left bank but with alterations render
ing them longer dangerous to the free navigation of
the river. The discussion on the third point
was commenced in the sitting of the Goth
Of March. The allied ENJOYS demanded the
0bjects-O Of bringing Turkey into the European fam
lily and ~ Of making the Dardanelss aud the B,spho
rous free for the passage to and fro OF the saps OF al
nations They additionally demanded that the prepon
derance of Russia in the ack Sea should " de
Sacy then ntmates that the most pacific intentions
to animate all parties that Russia is ready to make all
honorable CONCESSIONS and that thu Western Powers will
not demand anything inconsistent with the dignity Of
Russia He points out that there several ways Of e
fectng the reduction of Russian prepon in tbs
