France.-Iermination of tie Conferences
The Conference closed on the evening Of Tues
day, the 9th, by the signing of protocol which
purports to terminate the difficulties that have
hitherto prevented the execution of the treaties
of the 3Oth of March. The following is the
statement by the Moniteur:
"The representatives of the contracting
Courts to the Congress of Paris assembled this
day, TUESDAY, January g. in conference at
the Hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
GU paI ~, 81 Al
hculties encountered in the execution of the
treaty on the 30th of March.
I" 1t is known that the nature Of the locality
did not allow the Boundary Commission to
come to an understanding upon all the points
of the new frontier line between Turkey in
Europe and Russia. On the other hand, it
became necessary to supply for the silence
which the treaty had kept relative to the fate
of the Isle of Serpents. Finally, the strict ap-
plication of the Dist article, by annexing the
Delta Of the Danube to Moldavia, took away
from the immediate sovereignty of Turkey a
territory which formerly was a direct depend
ency of the Sublime Porte.
"Inspired with the resolutions Of the Con-
gress, and wishing to conciliate all interests,
the Conference, by unanimous consent, has de-
clded that the frontier line shall follow the Vale
OF Ira an as far as the river Yalpuk, leaving
Bolgrad and Tabak to Moldavia, and that Russia
shall retain on the right bank of that stream
the town of Komrat, with territory Of about
three hundred square verSts.
"The Isle of Serpents has been considered
as belonging to the mouths of the Danube,
and it has been agreed that it goes with their
destination.
"The Conference has recognised that it was
the intention of Congress to re-establish by
article Il of the Treaty of Peace, in their
he
of the new boundary and, to conform itself to
the provisions OF the negotiators of the reace,
it has decided that those territories shall be
annexed to Moldavia, with the exception of the
Delta of the Danube, which returns directly to
Turkey.
" 1t has been decided, moreover, that on the
30th of next March, at latest, the fixing of the
boundary shall be effected and that at the same
date the Austrian troops and the British squad
ron shall have evacuated the Danubian Prin-
cipalities and the internal waters of Turkey
"The Commission of the Principalities, the
members OF which are already at Constantinople,
may therefore at that period proceed to the
provinces, and fulfil the mission intrusted to it.
AS soon as that commission shall have termi-
mated its labors, it will render an account there
OF to TIE Conference, which will meet at Paris,
according to the terms OF the 18th article of
the treaty, to sanction, by convention, the
final agreement come to between the contract.
ing parties, relative to the organization of the
Principalities."
.Soitzerland.-We Difficulty ,Settled.-Ad-
vices from Paris intimate that there is a grow
ing probability, amounting almost to certain
ty, of pacific solution of the Neufchatel ques-
ton. despatch from Berne, dated the 9Th,
states that the Federal Council of Switzerland,
considering the new propositions which have
been submitted to it by the Emperor Napoleon,
and supported by the good Offices of England,
to be such as are acceptable to the Swiss Con-
federation, has decided to convoke the Federal
Assembly of Switzerland for the 18th instant
to receive these propositions. A letter from
Berne, of the Sd, in the Independence Beige,
says, reliably, that the proposal is as follows:
"Engisnd completely approves of the last
proposition made by the Emperor Napoleon,
namely: that the Swiss Federal Council is re.
quested to release the Neufchatel prisoners,
esolely out of regard for the friendly feeling of
the Emperor. The Emperor, IN return, engages
to eudeayor.to obtain from the King of Prussia
the plete remuneration of Neufchatel Should
the King of Prussia refuse to negotiate on this
basis, the Emperor will oppose any aggression
on the part of Prussia against Switzerland, and
will defend the independence of Neufchatel."
The audience given by the King of Prussia
to Mr. Fay, the United States Minister to Swift
zerland, who was accompanied by Count Null
lioen, Swiss, was of two hours duration. The
King is reported to have said that for him the
question of Neufchatel was question of honor /;
but that if Switzerland gave way, he might pos
sibly renounce his clai to Neufchatel.
Thrkey-The English squadron of observa-
ton near the5Isle of Serpents have had to take
refuge in the mouth of the Danube, in conse-
quence of bo,terous weather in the Black Sea.
