The Terms OF PEACE The conditions
OF peace settled between Germany and
France are much more moderate than the
public have been led TO expect The pecun.
inry indemnity exactcd, says the Now York
Sun, "is but three hundred and twenty
millions of thalers, or two hundred and IF
ty millions in our money. On the other
hand, the territorial indemnity also is no
larger than that which the Germans have
from the first required, namely the whole
of AIsace and Lorraine, including the i'm
portant fortrcsses of Metz, Nancy, and
Strasbourg. The pride of the French Is
also spared the humiliation Of the march Of
the German army though Paris, and the
Germans will at once return to their own
country by the most convenient routes.
'Now the question arises what sort of n
permanent government the French will es
tablish. 1t has been rumored that the in
fuence of Mr. THEIRS would be exerted 20
decide this question in favor of the re-
storation of the Orleans monarchy with the
charter of 1880. This is not impossible,
but it is not to be taken for certain until il
is officially verified. All that the outside
world will desire is, that whatever the de-
cision may be, it shall be made freely by the
French people; and then, whether they de-
termine in favorof constitutional monarch
y, with the Count DE PARIS as King, or in
favor of a republic, other nations can have
no right to find fault with their action"

BESIDES the letters from San Domingo re-
ceived lately. stating that the President had
written to Baez assuring him on continued
support and expressing the belief that annex
ton would be soon eonsummated, there Is
other evidence which proves eonclusively the
purpose Of General Grant TO adhere to that
obnoxious scheme at all hazards, and without
regard to the large cost which his selfish per-
sistenee may entail upon the country. There
were. according to last accounts, three ships
of-war at different ports of the island, viz: the
Congress at sSamana, the Yanuc at Mama
nilla and the Nifntasket at Santo Domingo.
The Swatara has received orders to join the
squadron.
This large naval force, which can not be
maintained at mnch less expense to the people
than 50 900 day, or about 81 20, gold, for
every second of time, is kept lowering around
San Domingo for no other purpose than to
prop up the falling fortunes of Baez until
some chance may offer for completing the cor
rupt job between him and the Military Ring
which now controls matters at the White
House. Neutrality-suspicious. the rebuks which
this pet project has rsGeNed from Congress
and the country, the-President has noe abated
"A jot of his design, nor respected pnblic opin-
ion even so far rs to recall the. rostly ships
which are idipg at the lsland to give Baez
the moral support OF their guns"-to use the
language of NJ. Ro%son. Washi'g'o" Pa
