Terms OF the Treaty.

Notwithstanding the efforts to keep the terms
of the treaty of peace secret, something in re-
| lation thereto will leak out. The following ru-
mors come from the Paris Debats which is
| likely to be well posted. 1t says:-
1t is said that the Russian plenipotentiaries
| did not defend the retention Of the military ar
senal of Nicolaieff, nor any of the military es-
| Establishments in the Black Sea or the Sea of
| Azoff. Sebastopol will not be rebuilt. All
| the Russian forts in the Black Sea, from the
Caucauses to the limit of the Russian territory,
| not far from Batoum, will be destroyed and
never re-established. The Russian forts to the
| south of the Caucasus are to be retained The
| Asiatic frontier, between Russia and Turkey
will be recthed without injury to either, and
| in such a manner as to put an end to all dan
gerous discussions. 1t is clearly understood
that the Russians give up their recent con.
quests from Turkey, and re-enter Immediately
| into their own territory.
| Turkey demanded an indemnity for the ex-
penses of the war, and has revived old claims
| for compensation for the repeated occupations
of the Principalities by the Russians. The
Russian Plenipotentiares have opposed this
claim, and the Congress has not yet come to
| decision uponit.
The Notifications on the Aland Islands are
| not to be rebuilt. There are to be no fortified
barracks, entrenched posts, or redoubts.
As the Principalites, nothing has yet been
decided, excepting that "new organization"
is TO be given, and that it is believed the plen
potentiaries will choose three of their body as
commissioners, to proceed to the Principalities
and make inquiries on the spot as to the best
solution of the question. Whether the with
drawal of the Austrian troops should be mme
date, or should be postponed until peace and
order in those countries shall be secured, mas
not as yet been decided.
AS regards the withdrawal of the Austrian
troops from the Prncpalities, a Geographic
| despatch announces that it has actually com
menced. This, however, requires confrma
| ton.
A Sandman paper 1.-THE Opinione of Turin,)
gives the following-it says from an authorita-
tive source-as the articles Of the treaty of
| Paris:
l. Naturalization Of the Black Sea, in which
Russia is allowed to maintain armed vessels for
the defence Of the coast.
2. Nicolaieff to be reduced to commercial
| port.
3. Russia accepts the consuls of foreign
| Powers in the Black Sea and the Baltic.
| 4. Non-reconstruction Of Bomarsund.
5. Russia gives up portion Of Bessarabia,
including the fortress Of Isma.
L
the Prncipalities; and
7. Renounces the protectorate of the Greek
subjects of the Porte.
| 8. The Danube is open to the flags of all
| nations.
9. A commission is to be sent to the Princi-
| palities to examine the stale of public opinion
| and the wants of the country, and to study and
| fix the new frontier of Bessarabia.
| The Times, in its Paris correspondence,
says:
| The documents which have already received
the signatures Of the plenipotentaries are in
number ive namely, the treaty, or instrument
de pair, properly SO called an additional arti-
Gle mot act) relative to the evacuation Of the
| Russian territory convention relative to the
Straits-these three are signed by the fourteen
plenipotentiaries two annexes, one Of which
relates to the Aland Isles, and is signed by
Russia, England and France and the other,
concerning the maritime police of the Black
Sea, signed by Turkey and Russia only. Such
is the classification of the papers which now
await the appreciation and ratification Of the
various governments. / give it as, believe,
the latest version, but without assuming The
responsibility of its exactness.

leans.
This evening" at the Gaiety theatre, Miss
Heron takes her leave Of us for the season,
and plays, for the seventeenth time here, her
great character of Camille; that in which she
made her first appearance on our stage, and
that will be long recollected as ore of the most
powerful presentations witnessed in any
country. The performance Of Camille has
made its way, triumphantly, even over preju
dice; and critics who scoffed at first arc now
coming out in eulogy. Such are the most fat.
