tant disputes respecting Danubian Principal.
tiles, and Asiatic frontiers, are left as unde-
cided as when the Congress first met.

adjustment of other unarranged differences
are to be referred to a commits ion on the spot
The topographic details at hand are very
incomplete, and the projected frontier of Cho.
tym to Lake Susick, is neither marked by
stream nor mountain chain. France, 1t is
said, will appoint as her commissioner, Gen.
u Etang. Austria, England and Russia are
on the point of naming theirs. Sardinia will
not be represented in the commission.

cially based upon the ground that the discus.
sion respecting the treaty of 1871, bv which
the Dardanelles were closed to ships of war,
is to begin forthwith.
