The protoeuls of the pricitvtliii);s of the Black Sea question will ho laid ou the tahle of the House of Commons to-niht. They are signed by tho plenipotentiaries of the iseven powers represented. Their general features are eonciiatory in tone on the i part, of Prussia, willingness on the part uf Turkey to accept the deneutraliza-i tion of iho filuclc Sea, and deference j ou the part of the conference to the ' wishes of either power. The conference confer-ence met January 17th, when Lord Granville ivas chosen President. Gran- j ville regretted the absence of the ploni-potentiary ploni-potentiary iiom France, and declared '' that the ol ject of the conference was to j I without i arthanship, and to di.-cus with perfect liberty the Itussian pro posals fur a revision of the treaty o Paris. Baron Brunow made a state ruent which contained no trace of the imperative tone of Gortschokoff's cir eukir. Biunow's speech was most con eilatory throughout, and was respondec to in the same spirit by the Turkish -Minister. The conference then went tc work ou the declaration to the effcci that tho leiiipoteutiaries re-commend it as an cs:ential principle of the right.' of nations, that no nation can shake oil the engagements of a treaty or modify its stipulations, except with the assenl of the contracting parties. On this a friendly understanding was arrived at, and on March loth the Duke de Brog-ie Brog-ie gave his adhesion to it. A meeting of the conference took place on July 24th, when Brunow more fully stated the changes that had taken place since 1S66, and urged that all the triaucs be judged, by the new considerations arising in the interval, lie contended that the trea:y of Paris really perpetuated irritations, by wounding Kusiia's national sentiments. The Turkish ambassador combatted the arguments of the Kussian ambassador, ambassa-dor, and declared that Turkey was fully satisfied with the treaty, but if. other powers thought it right to admit the Bus sian demand, and would give guaranties equivalent, and compatible with the rights and security of the Ottoman Empire, he was authorized to concur. The other plenipotentiaries, while recognizing the justice of the Turkish objections, adhered to their former expression that the Turkish ;jnsent must be devoid of equivalents. At the third sitting, February 3rd, 'our articles were proposed by Earl Granville. I he second article gave to 1 Turkey the power to introduce ships of i war of the non-riverain powers into the ! Black Sea only if compelled to do so for i the security of the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish minister objected to the , phrase, "non-riveraim," as restrictive j to Turkey and offensive to Russia. A i long debate, generally in opposition, : followed, the representative of the i Turkish government pleading his in-, J struetions as very peremptory. At the same meeting the secondary question of the Danube "commission was first 1 mooted. , At the fourth meeting, February 1 7th, no new instructions had been received re-ceived by the representatives,and noth- . ing was done. j At the fifth meeting, which was held 'on the 13th inst, the Due de Broglie ! i was introduced. . He declared the! i French foresaw no sufficient reason to ! 1 modily the treaty of Paris, but now willingly accepted the arrangement! I had been ptu tially concluded. The i Italian met the objection of the Turkish Turk-ish minister by proposing anew article in which the words "friendly and allied al-lied powers" were substituted for "non-riverain powers." This amendment amend-ment was accepted freely by Turkey and the other powers. There wore no ' differences on the other ArrinW A : I the completion, the Turkish and Rus-,sian Rus-,sian representatives announced that they were authorized to conclude a convention, in abrogation of the stipulation stipu-lation of the treaty of Paris, relative to the number and strength of their res, , pective fleets in the Black Sea I London, IS.-'he limit special of Friday morning, from Montmartre, says battalion 134 prevented battalion 21 from taking its post on the rsrn parts because it is not devoted to the re-I re-I public.
