FABIs, Friday Night.-No doubt seems to
be entertained that the treaty of peace will be
signed early in Easter week. 1t is treaty
favorable to the allies. II is to be hoped for
the sake of Europe, that it will be perma-
nent peace; and if the concessions made by
Russia are such as they are reported to be,
there seems every reason to hope that peace
may pc maintained. The concessions we re-
fer to are larger than many have anticipated
Russia, we understand, abandons Nlcholaieff
and Kherson as naval arsenals. This is very
considerable surrender to peace and to public
opinion; for those who are familiar with the
third point well know that the stipulatons of
the Allies therein embodied, as to the naval
prependerance of Russia, can only refer to
her naval arsenals upon the seaboard, English
diplomatists, indeed, have not endeayored TO
construe the stipulation more largely. And
concession on the part of Russia, therefore, as
to Nicholaief and Kherson must be volun-
tary act, not arising out of any condition TO
which she is bound by her acceptance of the
four points. Russia further comedies, and
comedies freely, that the Black Sea and the
, Sea of -Azotf shall be open to the trade of all
tunlty, should it see fit, of app5inting ConsuIg
at the various ports olthose seas. The Black Sea
and the Sea of Azoff will, in fact, in future be
the present time. Sebastopol, under the pro-
visions of the treaty, will not be further for
tiled, and Bomarsund will not again offer a
menace to Sweden and adjacent nations =
These are guarantees of the best class for tn e
! preservation Of peace, for certainly few guar
antics can be afforded superior to the reduc-
ton OF fortresses. Russia evacuates Kars,
and every inch OF Asiatic Turkey. The ar
engagements respecting thePrineipalihes, which
was the cause OF the war, are said to DO salts.
factory to all parties; and Russia accepts on her
part the recent frman of the Porte respecting
the Christian subjects of Turkey, in satisfac-
ton of the difficulty about the HOLY places.
Some of the details of the treaty will proba
bly, have to be finally adjusted after it is con-
Guided, and it is understood that commits
sion will be appointed for the purpose of set
ting these arrangements. The Conferences,
SO far as we are informed, have been conduct
ed throughout in a spirit highly honorable to
all parties.
The London Isnses has ueen conspicuous

Times, a striking example of those higher
laws which govern human affairs" The
Times concludes as follows an article on the
annexation of the kingdom of Dude:
The Indian Government will be benefit

vince nearly as large as Ireland, and capable
OF producing surplus revenue of from g.

happiness Of the natives of India and the
prosperity OF the sovereign power. Lord Dali

Mr.. Buchanan, in his speech at the dinner
given to him by the Lord Mayor of London,
said:
g 1t is impossible-and so far from there
being any jealousy--so far from its being
proper that there should be any jealousy in
either country as to the honest and fair ex-
tension OF the frontiers of either, il ought to
be considered blessing to mankind that they
should have the opportunity of extending their
freedom and liberal institutions over all the
unsettled parts of the earth. (Cheers.)-
