(Translated for the New York HERALD.) Great excitement reigned among tne Deputies at the opening of the meeting of March 22, The late events in Paris were discussed with much animation, the speeches made by Thiers and Favre on the preceding day being, how- ever, the chief topic of conversation. The at- tention of the Deputies was also occupied by the sound of the cannonade heard since the morn- ing. It was generally attributed to the opening of the German Diet, which took place on the same day. The cannonade came from the forts of St. Denis, at present occupied by the Prussians, The galleries were crowded by the public, and nearly all the pro- minent government officials were tn attendance, The Chamber was opened by the President, M. J. Grévy, at three o’clock in the afternoon. After a personal controveray between M. Louis Blanc and M. Juignet, to which the Assembly paid, however, very little attention, M. Jules Favre, the Minister for Foreign A! , and when he pronounced the wo! ta the whole Assembly and spectators were hushed into silence: M. JULES Fave \--Gentlemen, the exce; ‘cumstances in which we are placed do not verm! ‘ernment to pass in silence ons of those incidents which un- fortunately I have predicted. | I told the Chamber yesterday is As that the criminal enterprise which is directed in Pi against the government and authority of the National focal Reve d the whole of France in the danger of an immediate total or partial resumption of hosulities by the German forces. I added that it was to be feared that the city of Paris, having violently separated herself from ber government, would be trea.cd as an enemy. Well, thea, the very moment I had said tlis I received from German Chancery a despatch whici was even more important than that to which I had alludec in my preceding discourse. Last night I received anotuer, te contents of which | cannot con- ceal from the Assembly, Ihave sent the named de- —_ to one of my colleagues, who is Mayor of an arron- copay it in Paris, in order that he may publish it through- out a Tere M. Favre read the correspondence that passed be- tween him and the German commander, which was published in yesterday's HERALD, |. Favre continued—The sad extremity in which we are laced, gentlemen, left nothing else for me to do. I must, Rowever communtcate to you confidentially the formal as: surance which I had given as a member of the goveroment, that it 1s the firm intention of the Assembly to re-establish the authority of the law at any price, because it should pre- vailabove all criminal resistance. The Prussian staif has entered into negotiations with us to which I attach good hopes. Ihavea rigorous duty to fulfil, and accom: plist it to the best, of my, power. | But 1 wish, gentlemen, fhat those who throw the country into these calamities should undersiand the responsibility which weizhs upon them in the face of history and civilization. (Very d.) I have nothing else to tell you, except that, Teaolved to do our duty, we shall certainly induce the popu: lation of Paris to protest againat the jude to which they are subjected by a handful of men who have,consummated & bold erime, and that in a few days my prom|ses—the engage- ments which I uave taken—wil, thanks to your aid, be easily ed. ‘The following discourse was delivered by M. Jules Favre on the preceding day, with regard to the revolutionary acts of the Commuue and the assas- sination oi Generals Thomas and Lecomte. M. JULES FAVRE—I have just heard that the men of order in’Paris, who are, Iam sure, very numerous, demand, asa tisfaction, which we cannot refuse them, to manifest their etic condemnation of theYnunicipal vote. Ino not doubt incerity of their intentions, and am sure that there was not one among them who approached the ballot in the of the sition to which Paris resident of the Council has to us and we shall be with with her, and although supe- the army rst sign wo humiliatiny face {s unfortunately reduced. said :—“Let Paris show but ber. We have not ceased to rior considerations have compelied us to briny hither we have sald at our departure, ‘At the shall be with you.’ Indeed, Fectlermen, this ia the sole duty 1° of all men of honor under ‘the present conditions. Time resses, and I conjure you to reflect on this. It is not alone By words, but by deeds, and energetic deeds, that this ovil must be combated. (Approbation.) If you would not the evit be left without remedy—and it will not, I hope—if Zou would not that it should attain to proportions that woald Gisnonor our unfortunate country. (Very good, very good.) Well, then, the honest citizens of Paris only accept with a shudder the shameful yoke imposed upon them by a handful of wretches, against whom they have the courage to pro- test. 'M.

(Bravos and applause.) Admiral SatsstT—Yes; they have done this at the risk of their lives, M, FAvBe—The press of Paris has, as you see, gentiemen, protested almost unanimously against the guilty actions of which the capital is now the victim. And be not deceived when you are told that an act of sovereignty could disarm the intamous passions which now acek full scope; I do not say that they deceive vou; Heaven forbid that I should im- pute to any one in this Assembly a bad intention | But they (the members of Paris) are deceived. (Movement.) Let the ‘Assembly, in its sovereign power, afirm what we have thought 80 tong, what the President of the Council has s0 well expressed—viz., that Paris must enjoy her municipal Iiberties, that her magistrates must be elected, that them only belong the administration and disposition of the fortunes of the city, My honorable colleague, the Miuister ot. tbe Interior, and I have prep 1 cok lan of law, which we should have submitted to you yester- Gay, if it had not been nece: to, give the introductory Srylanations, and to sssure ourselves thal we were acting 1k concert with you.

General Clement Thomas was on the Boulevard Rochechorurt ; he perceives groups of people; he re in the interest of peace and order; he ws carried away; he is recognized. It was he, mdeed.

Termination of the Buckhout Trial—Argu- ments of Counsel—A Strong Plea tor Con- viction—The Case Given to the Jury. After seven days of arduous attention the trial of Isage ¥. W. Buckhout for the murder of Alfred Rendall, ta the Court of Oyer and Terminer at White Plains, Westchester county, was terminated yester- day, when, the arguments of counsel on both sides having been heard, the Court briefly charged the jury, which retired at a late hour to deliberate. Ex-District Attorney John McKeon, of New York, addressed the jury in a speech of over seven hours’ duration, during|. which he reviewed the whole of the testimony adduced, and argued that all the cir- cumstances elicited throughout the trial tended to prove the insanity of the accused at the time the crime was committed. Henry L. Clinton, in @ masterly argument, which consumed about three hours, commented at length on the evidence in the case, and contended that the defence had entirely falied tn establishing the in- sanity of the prisoner. He maintained that the pro- secution nad shown by the most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that the accused was guilty of cold-blooded, deliberate and premeditated murder, After a thorough review ol the evidence Mr. Clinton concluded as follows:— Something must be done to stay this modern ten- dency through the forms of law to violate law, tn the Name Ol justice to perpetrate THE MOST TERRIBLE INJUSTICE ; through judicial machinery organized to protect so- ciety to let loose crime in our midst and every- where expose tie innocent to the mercy of criminals, who, by @ verdict of acquittal at the hands of a jury, receive a roving commission to rob and murder with impunity.

The Black Sea Opened to Navigation by Imperial Proclamation. Official Modification of the Treaty of Paris of 1856—Effect of the London Conference—The New Treaty—Public Opinion and Cabinet Confidence in Turkey. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sr. Perens buRG, April 6, 1871. The diMcult question of the navigation of the Black Sea, which has so frequently been made a subject for a Europo-Asiatic war agitation, may be regarded as settled, for some years to come at least. T have to announce to the readers of the HERALD, by cable telegram, that the Journal de Saint Peters. dourg of this morning officially published the rati- cation of the Turco-Russian convention abrogating the hitherto existing restrictions on the navigation of the Black Sea by armed vessels of war and other- wise, and thus modifying almost to obliteration the Treaty of Paris of 1856. To attain this object, even independently of the London Conference, General Ignatieff, the Russian Ambassador in Constantinople, spared no argument toshow how dangerous and unwise any other course would be for Turkey, and has done his utmost to in- Spire the Sultan and his Ministers with confidence in Kussia’s loyalty and trienaship, The facts will pro- bably show that, contrary to what has been said or apprebended, the Porce does not separate its interests from those of the Western Powers, Tho Treaty of London of 1871. That the readers of the HERALD may be enabled to estimate the provistons and force of the new Europo-Kastern arrangements completed in London, it is necessary to recapitulate that by the action of the late Conference held in the English capital the appendix to the Treaty of Paris Known as the *‘Con- vention des Detroita,”” under which the Porte was bound to exclude all foreign ships of war from the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, with the excep- tion of & limited number of small vessels for the service of the embassies and the protection of the mouth of the Danube, was abolished. {n future no restrictions whatever are to be pissed on the power ot the Porte te admitships of war into the Dar- danelies. The new treaty ts signed by Count Bernstorff, re- presenting North ter Count Apponyi, Aus- tria-Hungary; Earl Granville, Great Britain; Cheva- ler Cadorna, Italy; Baron de Brunnow, Russia; Musurus Pacha, ‘Purkey, and Duc de Broglie, ¥rance. On the 13th of March, 1871, the fifth sitting of the Conterence took place in London, at which the Duke de Broghe was presented by Lord Granville. At this sitting the plenipotentiaries of Russia and ‘Turkey announced that they had received authority from their Courts to conclude @ convention abro- gating the stipulations of that signed in Parts in 1856, relating to the number and force of vessels of war which each riverian Power should maintain in the Black Sea. The proposal received the full assent of the Conference. A penaleg the treaty—that of Great Britain—which had been prepared during the siting was brought in, read, found in due form, and signed and sealed by the pleuipotentiaries, ‘The following is the text of THE LONDON TREATY OF 1871. ARTICLE 1. Articles 11, 13, 14 of the Treaty of Paris of March 30, 1856, a3 well as the Special Con- vention concluded between the Subl. Porte aud Russia, aud annexed to the said article 14, are avro- gated and replaced by the following article:— Akt. 2. The principle of the closing of the Straits of tue Dardanelics and the Bosphorus, such as it has been established by the separate Convention ef March 30, 1896, is maintained, with power to his Ln. perial Majesty the Sultan to open the said Straits in tme of peace to the vessels of War of the friendly and allied Powers, in the event that the Sublime Porte should consider tt necessary, in order to se- cure the execution of the stipulations of the treaty of Paris of March 30, 1858, Arr. 3, The Black Sea remains open, as hereto- fore, to the mercantile marine of all nations. Art, 4, The commission established by article 16 of the Treaty of Pans, in whi the Powers who joined tn signing the treaty are each represented by a delegate, and which was charged with the desig- nation and execution of the works necessary below Isaktoha, to clear the mouths of the Danube, as well as the neighboring parts of the Black Sea from the sands and olber inpediments Which obstruct them, in order to put that part of the river and the said parts of the sea in tho best siate for navigation, is maintained in its present composition. ‘Tue dura- tion of that commission is fixed for a farther period ol Wwelve years, counting from April 24, 1871—that Js to say, till April 24, 1583, being the term of the re- dempuon of the loan contracted by that commission, under the guarantee of Germany, Austria, Hungary, France, Great britat ty Italy and Turkey. * * Arr. 6, The Powers possessing the shores of that Part of the Danube where the cataracts and the tron gates offer impediments to navigation, reserving to themselves to come to an understanding with the view of removing those impediments, the mgh con- tracting parties recognize irom the present moment their right to levy a provisional tax on vessels of commerce of every flag which may henceforth vene- fit thereby, until the extiuction of the debt con- uracted for the execution of the work; and they de- clare article 15 of the Treaty of Paris of 1856 to be iuapplicabie to that part ot the river fora lapse of time necessary tor the repayment of the debt in question. - Ant. 7. All the works and establishments of every kind created by the European Commission tn execu- tlow of the Treaty of aris of 1856, or of the present treaty, shall Coutinue to enjoy the same neutrality which has hitherto protected them, and which shail be ¢ ually Tespqoted for the (uture, under ail circum- stances, by the high contracting parties. Tue vene- fits of the immunities which result therefrom shall extend to the Whole administrative and engineering staf of the Commission. It 1s, however, well under- stood that the provisions of this article shall in no way alfect the right of the Sublime Porte to send, aa heretofore, its vessels of war into the Danube m its character of territorial Power. Ant. 8. The ugh contracting parties renew and confrm all the stipulations of the treaty of March 80, 1856, as weil a8 of its annexes, which are not annulled or modified by the present treaty.

Attitude and Feeling of the Turkish Govern- ment. ‘The Turkish government professes entire satisfac- tion at the result and great confidence in the future, La Turquie, of Constantinople, nas issued a semi- Official article expressing the conviction that “to- day the neutralization of the Black Sea is @ matter of the utmost Indifference to the Suitan’s Cabinet.” The writer savs:— Before the Franco-Prussian war there would have been an outcry if Russia had undertuken to anuul article fourteen of the Paris Treaty; but since that period the imvention of torpedoes has dissipated the dream of tron-ciads; tuerefore, the neutraliza- tion of the Black Sea, which in 1866 was a ques- tion of life and death to Turkey, has now lost its im- portance.” La Turquie gives, a8 an Instance, the French fleet, admitted to have beenguperior to that of Turkey, having been rendered Totaliy inactive, and asks Whether the many millions lavished on that fleet exercised tue siightest iafuence upon the movements of the German land torces, and replies in the negative. Why, — therefore, should Turkey feel at all uneasy respecting the Russian desire for @ Black Sea fleet. Therefore, in Constantinople the Russian diplomacy meets no opposition. The only grudge Turkey has againt Prince Gortchakoff Is for his assertion that Kussia is (ureatened by Turkeu, @ statement totaly unfounded, Turkey being a peaceable Power, which would never threaten her neighbors, weak or strong; Turkey desiring nothing more than to be enabled (o compilete,. undisturbed, her work of reconstruction and — internal progress, while maintaining ber integrity and indepen- dence. Prince Gortchakoi? would therefore have done much better openly to avow the real motive of nis action—viz., the injured pride of a great nation being compelled to be subjected to treaties in her own waters and on her own territory. La Turquie concludes that the question is jluced to one of satisfaction for wounded feelings; therefore for Turkey BO real preyudice, nO real danger can exist, COLORED ORPHAN ASYLUM.
