THE TREATY OF PEACE.

[An- imperfect copy of the Treaty of Paris found its way into an after- noon edition of the Daily News on Wednesday ; and in default of a com- plete copy it has been accepted by all the other morning journals. The reader will see that, besides the omission of four entire articles there are two important conventions wanting to complete the document.]

The Plenipotentiaries, after having exchanged their plenary powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed upon the following articles.

Article 1. From the day of the exchange of ratifications of the present treaty, there shall be peace and friendship between his Majesty the Emperor of the French, her, Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, his Majesty the King.of Sardinia, his Majesty the Sultan, of the one part, and his Ma- jestrthe-Emperor of-all the Hussies, the other part, as well as between their heirs and successors, their respectiveetates and subjects, in perpetuity.

Article 2. Peace being happily established between their aforesaid Majesties, the territories conquered or occupied by their armies during the war shall be reciprocally evacuated.

Special arrangements shall regulate the mode of evacuation ; which shall be effected as soon as possible (aussi promote que faire se pourra). Article 3. His Majesty the Emperor of an the Russian engages to restore to his Majesty the Sultan the town and citadel of Kars, as well as all the other parts of the Ottoman territory of which the Russian troops are in possession. Article 4. Their Majesties the Emperor of the French, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the King of Sardinia, and the Sultan, engage to restore to his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, the towns and ports of Se- bastopol, Balaklava, Kamiesch, Eupatoria, Kertch. [A vexatious accident, occurring at the last moment, has occasioned the loss of two or three slips of this portion of the MS.) Article 9. His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, in his constant anxiety for the well- being of his subjects, having granted (octroye) a firman, which, in ameliorating their lot without distinction of religion or race, proves his generous intentions towards the Christian populations of his empire, and desiring to give a further proof of his sentiments in this regard, has resolved to communicate to the contracting Powers the said Orman, spontaneously emanating from his sovereign will. The contracting powers acknowledge (constatent) the great value of this com- munication. It is quite understood that the fact of this communication cannot in any ease give to the said Powers a right to interfere, either collectively or sepa- rately. in the relations of his Majesty the Sultan with his subjects, or in the internal administration of his empire.

Article 10. The Convention of July 13, 1841, which maintains the old regulation of the Ottoman Empire relative to the closing of the Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, has been revised by common accord. The act concluded with this view, and conformably to that principle, between the high contracting parties, is and remains annexed to the present treaty, and shall have the same force and value as if it had formed an integral part of it.

Article 11. The Black Sea is neutralized. Open to the mercantile marine of all nations, its waters and ports are formally and in perpetuity interdicted to flags of war, whether belonging to the powers having dominion on its coasts (puissances riveraines) or to any other power, save and except the exceptions mentioned in articles 14 and 19 of the present treaty. Article 12. Freed from all impedimenta (entrare), trade in the ports and waters of the Black Sea shall only be subjected to regulations of health, customs, and police, conceived in a spirit favourable to the development of commercial transactions.

In order to give every desirable security to the commercial and maritime interests atoll nations, Russia and the Sublime Porte will admit Consuls in the ports situated on the coast (littoral) of the Black Sea, conformably to the principles of interna- tional law, Article 13. The Black Sea being neutralized according to the terms of Article 11, the maintenance or establishment on its coast of military-maritime arsenals (ar- senaux militaires-»iaritimes) becomes unnecessary as without object (derient sans necessity COMMIC sans °Vet). In consequence, his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias and his Imperial Majesty the Sultan engage neither to construct nor to pre- serve any military-maritime arsenal upon that coast. Article 14. Their Majesties the Emperor of all the Russias and the Sultan having concluded a convention for the purpose of determining the force and number of light vessels necessary for the service of their coasts, which they reserve to them- selves the right of keeping up in the Black Sea, this convention is annexed to the present nt treaty, and shall have the same force and value as if it had formed an in- part of it. This convention can neither be annulled nor modified without the assent of the Powers parties to the present treaty.

Article 15. The act of the Congress of Vienna having established the principles destined to regulate the navigation of the rivers which separate or traverse several states, the contracting Powers stipulate between themselves, that for the future these principles shall be also applicable to the Danube and to its embouchures. They declare that this disposition constitutes henceforth a part of the public law of Europe, and they take it (the disposition) under their guarantee.

The navigation of the Danube cannot be subjected to any hinderance (entrare)or dues (rederance) which shall not be expressly provided forby the stipulations contained in the following articles. In consequence, no toll (keage) shall be taken that may be bared solely upon the fact of the navigation of the river, nor any duty (droit) upon merchandise which may be on board vessels. The police and quarantine re- gulations to be established for the security of the states separated or traversed by this river shall be conceived in such a manner as to favour the circulation of vessels 25 much as possible (autant que faire se pourra). Save these regulations, no ob- stacle whatever shall be placed in the way of the free navigation. Article 16. With the object of realizing the dispositions of the preceding article, a Commission, in which France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Sardinia, and Turkey, shall each be represented by a delegate, shall be charged to design and cause to be executed the necessary works from Isatcha downwards, (depuis Isatcha,) in order to clear the mouths of the Danube as well as the neighbouring parts of the sea from the sand and other obstacles which obstruct them, so as to put that part of the river, and the said parts of the sea, in the best possible state of navigability. To cover the expenses of these works, as well as of the establishments having for their object to assure and facilitate the navigation of the mouths of the Danube, fixed duties, at a proper (confinable) rate, to be settled by the Commission by a majority of votes, may be levied, on the express conditions that in this respect, as in all others, the flags of all nations shall be treated on a footing of perfect equality. Article 17. A Commission shall be appointed, composed of delegates of Austria, Bavaria, the Sublime Porte, and Wurtemberg, (one for each of these Powers,) to which Commission, the Commission of the three Danubian Principalities, whose nomination shall have been approved of by the Porte, shall be joined. This Com- mission, which shall be permanent, will first draw up the regulations of navigation and of fluvial police; secondly, remove the obstacles (entrares) of whatever nature they may be, which as yet prevent the application of the dispositions of the treaty of Vienna to the Danube ; thirdly, give orders for and cause to be executed the ne- cessary works throughout the whole course of the river (set tout le percents du Ilene); and fourthly, after the dissolution of the European Commission, see to the maintenance of the navigability of the mouths of the Danube and the neighbouring TWO of the sea. Article 18. It is understood that the European Commission will have fulfilled its task, and that the bordering (rireraine) Commission will have terminated the works -designated in the preceding article under the Nos. 1 and 2, within the space of two years. The Powers parties to this treaty, assembled in conference, and informed of -these facts, will after having taken note of them ((Trier en aroir pris acte), pro- nounce the dissolution of the European Commission ; and thenceforth the perma- nent bordering (rireraine) Commission shall enjoy the same powers as those with which the European Commission will have been invested up to that time.

Article 19. In order to assure the execution of the regulations which shall have been settled by common accord, in accordance with the principles hereinbefore enunciated, each of the contracting Powers shall have the right at all times to sta- tion two light vessels at the mouths of the Danube. Article 20. In exchange for the towns, ports, and territories enumerated in Article 4 of the present treaty, and in order the better to assure the liberty of the navigation of the Danube, his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias consents to the rectification of his frontier in Bessarabia.

The new frontier will start from the Black Sea at one kilometre to the East of -Lake Bouma-Sola ; will perpendicularly rejoin the Akemian Road, follow this road as far as the valley of Trojan, pass to the South of Bolgrad, reascend along the Giver Yalpuck as far as Saratsika, and will terminate at Kakamori on the Froth. Above this point the old frontier between the two empires will undergo no modi- fication.

Delegates of the contracting Powers will settle, in its details, the boundary line of the new frontier.

Article 21. The territory ceded by Russia shall be annexed to the Principality of Moldavia, under the suzerainty of the Sublime Porte. The inhabitants of this territory will enjoy the rights and privileges assured to the Principalities ; and during the space of three years they shall be permitted to remove their domicile elsewhere, freely disposing of their property.

Article 22. The Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia will continue to enjoy, under the suzerainty of the Porte, and under the guarantee of the contracting Powers, the privileges and immunities of which they are in possession. No exclu- sive protection shall be exercised over them by any one of the guaranteeing Powers. There shall be no private (particulier) right of interference with their internal af- fairs.

Article 23. The Sublime Porte engages to preserve to the aforesaid Principalities an independent and national administration, as well as full liberty of worship, le- gislation, commerce, and navigation.

The laws and statutes now in force shall be revised. To establish a complete ac- cord as to this revision, a special Commission, with regard to the composition of which the high contracting parties will come to an understanding, will assemble without delay at Bucharest, together with a Commission of the Sublime Porte. The task of this Commission will be to inquire into the actual state and condition of the Principalities, and to propose the bases of their future organization.

Article 24. His Majesty the Sultan promises to convoke immediately in each of the two provinces a Divan ad hoc, composed in such a manner as to constitute the most exact representation of the interests of all classes of society. These Divans are to give expression to the wishes of the populations relative to the definitive orea,„ niza- lion of the Principalities. An instruction of the Congress will regulate the relations of the Commission with these Divans.

Article 25. Taking into consideration the opinion expressed by the two Divans, the Commission will without delay transmit the result of its own labours to the present seat of the Conferences. The final understanding with the Suzerain Power will be recorded (consaerie) in a convention concluded at Paris between the high contracting parties, and a hatti-scheriff conformable to the stipulations of the con- vention will definitively constitute the organization of these provinces—placed thenceforth under the collective guarantee of all the Powers parties to the treaty. Article 26. It is agreed that there shall be in the Principalities an armed national force organized with the object of maintaining the security of the interior, and as- suring that of the frontiers. No impediment (entrare) is to be placed in the way of such extraordinary measures of defence, as, in accordance with the Sublime Porte,. the Principalities may be under the necessity of taking (seraient appelis S prendre) to repulse any foreign aggression.

Article 27. If the internal tranquillity of the Principalities should be menaced or compromised, the Sublime Porte will come to an understanding with the other con- tracting Powers as to the measures to be taken to maintain or reCstablish legal order. No armed intervention can take place without a previous accord with these Powers.

Article 28. The Principality of Servia will continue to be dependent upon (r1 re- lerer de) the Sublime Porte conformably to the Imperial Hatts, which fix and de- termine its rights and immunities placed henceforth under the collective guarantee of the contracting Powers. In consequence, the said Principality will preserve its independent and national administration, as well as full liberty of worship, legislation, commerce, and navi- gation. Article 29. The right of garrison of the Sublime Porte, such as is stipulated for by anterior regulations, is maintained. No armed intervention is to take place in Servia without a previous accord between all the contracting Powers.

Article 30. His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russian and his Majesty the Sul- tan keep in its integrity the state of their possessions in Asia, such as it existed legally before the rupture.

In order to prevent any local contest, the boundary of the frontier will be verified, and if need be rectified, but so as that no territorial prejudice shall result to either of the two parties from any such rectification. With this view, a mixed Commission composed of two Russian Commissioners, two Ottoman Commissioners, one French Commissioner, and one English Commis- sioner, shall be sent to the locality (stir lea lieur) immediately after the rerstablish- meat of diplomatic relations between the Court of Russia and the Sublime Porte. The labours of this Commission are to be terminated within the space of eight months, dating from the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty. Article 31. The territories occupied during the war by the troops of their Majes- ties the Emperor of the French, the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the King of Sardinia, under the terms of the Conventions signed at Constantinople on March 12, 1854, between France,. Great Britain, and the Sublime Porte, the 14th of June of the same year between Austria and the Sublime Porte, and the 15th of March 1855 between Sardinia and the Sublime Porte, shall he evacuated as soon as possible (auszitot que faire se pourra) after the ratifications of the present treaty. The time within which the evacuation is to be effected (lea delais) and the means of execution will be the sub- ject of a convention between the Sublime Porte and the Powers whose troops occupy the territories.

Article 32. Until the treaties or conventions which existed before the war between the belligerent Powers shall have been renewed or replaced by new acts, the com- merce of importation and exportation shall go on reciprocally upon the footing of the rules in force before the war ; and their subjects shall in all other respects (ea route autre maniere) be respectively treated upon the footing of the most favoured nation.

Article 33. The convention concluded this day between their Majesties the Em- peror of the French, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, of the one part, and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias of the other part„ relative to the Aland Isles, is and remains annexed to the present treaty, and shall have the same force and value as if it had made part of it.

Article 34. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be ex- changed at Paris within the space of four weeks, or sooner if possible. In faith of which, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed it, and have hereto affixed the seal of their arms.

e following note was " communicated," on Thursday, with slight vet al modifications, to all the Paris journals--

" One of the London papers, the Daily News, and two journals of Brussels, the Independence and the Nord, arrived this morning, publish a version of the treaty of Paris, as to the correctness of which it does not behove us to express an opinion. The publication of that document can only be the result of an unjustifiable breach of trust (indiscretion cottpable), the party guilty of which is being sought out. A. treaty only exists, in fact, after the exchange of the ratifications; and we shall await its official publication by the Ifoniteur to reproduce the important document in question."]
