TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonvoy, March 3, 1871. I have received the following despatch from the special correspondent of the New York Herap at Versailles, dated at nine o'clock ast night. Your correspondent telegraphs :— THE PEACE TREATY. The following isa résumé of the prelimi- naries of peace and convention between Count Bismarck and the other German Plenipoten- diaries with MM, Thiers and Favre, THE OESSION OF TERRITORY. AprticLe 1 provides that France renounces all right to the territories named as follows:— The line of demarcation between France and Germany, as at first proposed, is re- tained, with one exception. It commences in the northwestern frontier, at the canton of Cat- tenom, in the Department of the Moselle, runs thence to Thionville, Briey and Gorze; skirts the southwestern and southern boundaries of the arrondissement of Metz, proceeds in a direct line to Chateau @alino, and at Pettoncourt, in that @rrondissement, turns and follows the crest of the mountains between the valleys of the rivers Seille and Vezouze, in the Depart- ment of Meurthe, to the canton of Schirmeck, in the northwestern corner of the Department of the Vosges; thence it runs to Saales, divid- ing that commune, and after that coincides with the western frontiers of the Upper and Lower Rhine Departments until it reaches the canton of Belfort; thence it passes diagonally to the canton of Delle, and there terminates by reaching the Swiss frontier. An alteration made at the last moment in these boundaries gives Belfort to France and cedes additional territory around Metz to Germany. These lines are to mark the boundary of the territory which the German empire shall ‘possess forever, A high commission is to be formed, composed of representatives of both ‘ations, to regulate the frontier. The follow- og modifications are, however, allowed:—In the Department of Moselle the villages of Marie aux Chenes and ef Vionville are to be- Jong to the Germans, and in the Department of. Haut Rhin the city and fortress of Balfort re to remain in possession of the French. THE WAR INDEMNITY. Arr. 2. It is agreed in this article that Franco shall pay to Germany five milliards of francs a3 awar indemnity—one muilliard, at leusp in 1871, and the rest in the space of three years from the ratification of the treaty of peace. THE EVACUATION OF FRANOE, ArtioLe 8 provides that the evacuation of “Yrance by the German forces shall commence ‘on the ratification of the treaty by the National | Assembly, The German troops will then im- mediateiy quit Paris and the left bank of the Seine, and also the Departments of Cher, Indre et Loire and Seine Inferieure. The French troops willremain behind the Loire till | the signature of a definitive treaty of peace, excepting in Paris, where the garrison is not te exceed 40,000 men, The Germans are to evacuate the right bank of the Seine gradually | vefier the signature of a definitive treaty of peace and the payment of half a million of francs. After the payment of two milliards the Germans are to hold only the depart- ments of Marne, Ardennes, Meuse, Vosges and Meurthe and the fortress of Belfort. After the payment of three milliards the Ger- mane are to keep only 50,000 troops in France ; put if sufficient money guarantees are given the Germans will evacuate the country com- pletely at once ; otherwise the three milliards | will carry interest at the rate of five per cent per annum from the ratification of the treaty to final payment. ‘WUE INHABITANTS OF THE OEDED TERRITORY. Arr 4, The German troops are to make no further requisitions, but the French govern ment will find food for the army of occupation, | In the ceded departments favorable arrange- ments will be made with the {nhabitants, and Lime will be given them to move out if they please. No obstacle will be placed in the way of their emigration, thence | nip ipeaieenren een peas Tho French railways are to lend carriages and engines to the Germans at the same price as they charge the French government, FINAL SIGNING OF THE TREATY. Arr. 7. Immediately on the ratification of the treaty it will be defialtely signed at Brussels. MANAGEMENT OF THE OCCUPIED DEPARIMENTS. Art. 8. In this itisagreed that the manage- ment of all the occupied departments shall be handed over to French officials, subject, how- ever, to the German commanders, in the interest of the German troops. OTHER MATTERS. Arr. 9. It is we!l understood that the Ger- mans have no anthority over the departments not oceupied by them, Art. 10. These presents are to be submit- ted and done by the 26th of February. THE AGRERMENT FOR THE OCOUPATION oF PARIB, The subsequent Convention provides as follows :— : Article 1 prolongs the armistice to the 12th of March, Article 2 provides for the occupation of Paris by 30,000 Germans, and agrees to the separation of the French and German troops, Article 3 agrees that no more requisitions shall be made by the German troops, If aay are made the mistake will be rectified, The treaty winds up with the usual words, “Done at Versailles, this 26th of February, 1871.” Count Bismarck Notified of the Ratification of the Troaty—It is Signed by the Emperor— The War indemnity. Lonvon, March 8, 1871, I send the following report for the informa- tion of the New York Heratp:— THE TREATY SIGNED BY THK EMPEROR, A Versailles telegram dated the 3d says that M. Favre to-day notified Count Von Bis- marck of the vote of the National Assembly, ratifying the preliminaries of peace. Count Von Bismarck at once replied that he was ready to exchange formal ratifications, and that the Emperor had already signed the treaty. THE WAR INDEMNITY. A despatch from Versailles says the French indemnity is payable in three instalme nts, viz.:—One milliard of thalers in 1871, two milliards in 1872 and two milliards in 1873. Interest is only payable on the last instalment, from which the proportion of the debt apper- taining to Alsace and Lorraine, estimated at one-half milliard of thalers, and the cost of the railways in Eastern France, is to be de- ducted, FRANCE.

The Emperor William intended to make a solemn royal visit to Paris to-day, but the pro- ject was upset by the rapidity of legislative action by the National Assembly of France, ARRANGEMENTS FOR EVAQUATION, Yesterday afternoon General Vinoy received atelegram from Count Bismarck, in which the Prussian Premier requested him to de- spatch officers immediately to Versailles so as to arrange the conditions and plan of the evac- uation to-day. General De Walden left Paris, consequently, at six o'clock in the evening for Versailles, duly commissioned to complete thé details with General Moltke, who will act on behalf of the Emperor William, A considerable amount of commotion pre- vailed in the streets of Paris yesterday, but there was no serious trouble. GERMAN SOLDIERS MOBBED IN PARIS, A few German soldiers, wearing their side arms, visited the gallery of the Louvre. The French populace became excited at the fact of the appearance of the Germans outside of the line of demarcation which had been already agreed on, and General Vinoy, ob- serving the growing trouble, persuaded the German efficers to order the men back, Tho gate of the Tuileries was closed. LETTER FROM FAVRE TO BISMAROK. Minister Jules Favre has written a letter, couched in very indignant terms, on the sub- ject of the manner in which the occupation of the city was conducted, and urging Bismarek in strong terms that the Germans evacuate Paris immediately.

On Wednesday night, after the entry of the Germans, the troops, who were quite weary, bivouacked in the Champs Elys¢es, They made holes in the ground and lighted fires in them, Across the holes they placed sticks, on which they suspended their cans of soup. A ROW, A alight disturbance took place at the barriere, Several Prussians entered and asked for coffee, The Frenchmen refused to supply them and a row ensued, Finally the parties came to blows, but, fortunately, there was no blood shed, A VISIv TO THE OCOUPIED QuARTER. After five o'clock in the evening none of the public were allowed to enter the Prussian quarter, but the possession of a powerful document, which I exhibited, admitted me. I found the Germans behaving in a most orderly manner, Many of them were examin- ing the public buildings of interest, All their horses are picketed on the pavements of the streets, RETURN TO THE FRENOH LINES, After remaining in the German limits for a brief while I returned to the French quarter, and was sharply scrutinized both by soldiers, including the sentries, and by the citizens. Every precaution was taken against a rising. The city was wonderfully quiet. Some few pedestrians were drunk, and one of these tried to embrace me, weeping at the time over the unhappy fate of hia beloved country, THE NATIONAL GUARDS, The National Guards of Paris have declared that they will not part with the artillery they have seized. They have taken the mitrailleuses to the top of the hill of Montmartre to avoid giving them up; but, on the whole, they are very quiet, Black flags in large numbers are floating over various parts of the city, EXPEOLED DEPARTURE OF THE GERMANS, It is reported that the Prussians will leave to-day.

Arrangements for Evacuation—Parls Excited Germans in the Louvre—The Olive Branch Rejected—Prussian OMcers in Paris—Favre Gone to Versailles. Lonvoy, March 3, 1871, Iam enabled to report, for the information of the New York Herarp, that the French authorities are endeavoring to make such ar- rangements with the Prussians as will hasten the evacuation of Paris. PARIS EXOITED, It is believed the Germans will leave this evening, or at the latest to-morrow morning. There is in consequence great excitement in Paris, GERMANS IN THE LOUVRE. A crowd of the Parisians observing some Prussians in the courts of the Louvre and the Place du Carrousel yesterday attempted to use force for their expulsion, but were kept back by a line of troops and pieces of cloth were hung over the gate to hide the Prussians, Conflicts are expected if the Germans do not soon evacuate the city. TAK OLIVE BRANCH REJECTED, Sov of the Germans wished to pass the line of demarcation, offering their hands and saying, ‘‘Now peace is concluded we friends,” but were regulged with the reply, are NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1871.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. — ee: “We are conquered, but, with the conditiona imposed by Bismarck, wo never caa be friends.” PRUSSIAN OFFICERS IN PARIS.

The Sovereign Pontiff to Re- main in the Holy City. Hierarchical Review of the Exist- ing Situation, The Question of a Flight from the Vatiean— Defeat of the Alarmists, DECLINING HEALTH OF HIS HOLINESS, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HENALO, Lonvox, March 3, I87L. I have received a special Heratp telegram from Rome, dated in the Holy City yesterday, in which your correspondent reports the exist- ing situation of the Pontificate, as it is affected by the Italian occupation in the present, and likely to be influenced in the future by the temporal policy of his Holiness, Pope Pius the Ninth, and by the declining health of the Sovereign Pontiff. I transmit the letter by special cable tele- gram to New York. The Heraxp correspondent writes as fol- lows:—The report which has been in cir- culation for some months past, both in England and Ametica, to the effect that his Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth had resolved to leave Rome in face of the Italian royal lay entry to the city, is not true, as I have ascer- tained from very excellent and distinguished authority. TO REMAIN AT THE CENTRE, The Popé will remain in Rome so long as he is assured that actual personal insult or per- sonal violence, which was at one time feared, are not imminent, by reason of the altered condition of the government and the excite- ment or confusion incident thereon, HIERAROHIOAL DEBATE AND RRSOLVES, The subject matter of the Pope's departure from the city or otherwise was discussed seriously between his Holiness and the Car- dinal Secretary of State, Antonelli, at the in- stigation of the chiefs of the Jesuit erder; but the Pope, acting according to the promptings of his own independent judgment, decided to remain—cheerfully and with good grace, It is said that Pio Nono reasoned on the premises in the light that, if he should leave the Vatican, the officers of the Italian govern- ment would immediately confiscate both the palace and its contents for the use of the State. HIS HOLINESS’ HEALTH DECLINING. I can also state, as another reason for his not adopting any hastily-considered resolve, that the aged and venerable Pontiff is just now suffering from general debility ; his health is weak, and he entertains the opinion that if he took his departure from the Holy City under such circumstances the Christian peoples would be told, perhaps say, that the Papacy had been really discomfited towards the close of his reign. The German Mission to the Court of the Holy See. With regard to the representation of the lay governments near the Court of the Holy See I can state to the Herap that bis Excellency the Bavarian Minister here has provisionally assumed the functions of German Ambassador near the Pope, in place of Count Von Arnim, who has been transferred from Rome by the Emperor William, and commissioned as his Majesty's Ambassader to the French govern- ment in Paris. THE FILKINS CASE. ALBANY, March 3, 1871, The testimony in the Fikias ease to-day was with regard to the prisoner’s financial embarrassment prior to the robvery, the pistol he purcnased at the awnbroker’s and the identification of the revolver found near the scene of the robbery as the one sold by Scott on the day of the robbery; also tdentifying the money sent by the express on that day.

TELEGRAM TQ THE NEW YIAK HEAALO, Lonpon, Maron's, 149Tt. My cabie report of the Parliamentary proceeitings, ag given underneath for the Henan, of a very important and quite interesting character: — In the House ef Commons yesterday evening, Mr. Patten (conservative), member for North Lanca- shire, resumed the debate upon the Irish quesuon, He urged the withdrawai of the mouon for “a com- mittee to devise further measures and to grant greater powers lo cnable the government to effecta- ally reproas the muxchief of secret combinations im Ireland, and particularly in Weatmeath county; an® @ return to the policy of authorizing the government to entirely suspend the writ of habeas corpus ia cases of absolute necessity.” He said “that the government had, by ita motion, confeased the fail- ure of tie Irish pottey.”” Premier Gladstone, in reoty, objected to the course suggested by the memver (rom North Lancashire, which, he saad, “was Dased on the exaggerated stato- ments of Mr, Goscnen,” In the course of further discussion and in reply to some remark4 of Mr. Disraeli the Premier gait he Was quite willing to see the right honorable genue- man exalt over the supposed superiorily of the tong policy tu [reland, which was simply that of coa- quest, In the meantime the government might post pone the inquiry if t} were found upon investigakom to be untimely and premature, ; Mr. Gladstone asserted that (ne government woulk violate the constituion if tt should suspend (he habeas corpus unless the necessity for such action Was first assured by an iry, and concinded by * warm appeal “ior the adoption of the motion before the Howse." ‘bhe Premier was evidertty itt in health, and exhibited signs of mental anxiety durmng the debate, “Sir Robert Peel an! other members followed tu a Vigorous atiack upon the government, asserting “that it was acuon and not investigation that wad wanted—action which the opposition would gladiy back—tu check dissatisiaction indamed trom Amer- tea.” ‘he Solicitor General sougtt to interpose, and de, nounced the ingratitude wile had been shown tow leader who had tisured the passage of so mang important measures without ever before incurring the denunciation of a feebie-minded tory, Ho scoredt Mr. Dtsraeti as Shakespeare's lean apothecary, whose poverty aud not bis will drove him (gsuce resources, At this point Mr. Maguire moved an adjournment of the debate, but Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone both protested against it, and defeated the mo- tion. A motion for aa adjournment of the House waa also defeated amid great excitement, The motion for a select committee to inquire ime the [rish question was adopted by eighty-one ma- Jority, and the session terminated soon afterward.
