Peru, March 5.—It is stated that the Russians will begin to leave Roumania immediately, some embarking here and others at San Stefano. The treaty of peace has been sent to St. Petersburg for formal ratification.
Vienna, March 5.—At the opening of the congress a motion will be brought forward, probably by the German delegate, in favor of the immediate annexation to Austria of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prince Bismarck has quite recently renewed his advice in favor of such annexation.
London March 5.—The talk in the lobbies of parliament yesterday evening was all peaceful, the members even discussing the prospects of a longer Easter recess than usual, and an earlier prorogation in autumn.
The Sultan has sent the following telegram to the Emperor:
Constantinople, March 3.
On the occasion of your majesty's accession to the throne I offer my congratulations, with the desire of renewing our friendly relations.
I thank your majesty for your congratulations, which I received simultaneously with the news of the signature of the peace. I perceive in this coincidence a presage of good and lasting relations between us.
San Stefano, March 5.—The amount of tribute to be paid by Bulgaria is not to be fixed for two years, during which measures will be taken to ascertain the resources and revenues of the country, which will be occupied by fifty thousand Russian troops two years, or until a national army can be formed and rendered capable of maintaining order. The tribute when fixed will be towards paying the Russian war indemnity. The ultimate form of government, whether constitutional or absolute, will be decided partly by the Bulgarian assembly and partly by Europe.
Servia will have Nicsics, but not Widdin, which will remain Bulgarian. Thessaly and Epirus will share the administrative reforms stipulated for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
London, March 5 —A San Stefano correspondent says: Roumania is not included in the peace conditions. Russia has told Turkey she must treat directly with Roumania, whose pretensions are too great.
Vienna, March 5.—The newspapers are dissatisfied with the peace conditions as far as they are known. They express the opinion that the most difficult phase of the crisis is yet to be passed. They say nobody wishes to disturb the great result of the war, the liberation of the Christians, but while the demands calculated to lead to a conflict with England have been dropped by Russia, similar consideration has not been shown for Austria.
It is stated that Count Andrassy will make a full exposition of his policy to the delegations which will meet probably on Thursday.
