Important Decisions by the Ber-

New York Herald of July End.

Notwithstanding the protests of
emaucipated Roumanja against sur
rendering to her beuefactor territory
winch was wrested from Russia and
annexed to a Turkish province by
the allies of 1854. the Congress has
finally decided that BesSarabia must
belong again TO Russia. In securing
this II of the important results of
the war and the overthrow OF Turk
ISL power in the Danui e Valley
Pm ce GOrtschakof must feel elated.
The treat. OF Paris IS nuI:fed by the
very allie who forced its hard terms
on Russia. The glories Of Alma,
Balaklava and Inkerman are faded
and the conquered of 1874 stands to-
day COnqueror, receiving back tie
territory torn from her BY wa. To

cial features in relation to the Back
Sea. This. w"tn formal recn2ni-
ton Of her independence, is certain
ly a magn. flicrut reward for the
assistance afforded 10 Russia by Rou-
mania in the recent .mpaign.-
Wa~r-scourged Seryia md gallant
Montenegro are also recognized as
independent, each with Increased
territory, so that we may now regard
much of the important work of the
Congress in relation to these States
as completed. The settlement of the
Bulgarian and R0umelian questions
is still under consideration. There
can be little doubt that Russia wi |
secure in a modified form much #
what she desired with regard to tn sc
regions. In justice to the TURKISH
DOudhoIders a share of the Ottoman
d BIT will be distributed over the
emancipated regions in proportions to
be settled by the Congress, but even
this burden will De a small price for
liberty from Turkish rule. Our dis
patches to-day give many interesting
points of information as to the ar
engagements likely to be perfected by
the Congress. At present the out
look is peaceful, but it is moi diff
cult to perceive that in the adjust
ment of the more delicate questions
mean those in which British
interests are involved-there are
many ''snags" which may ~endanger
