This report consists chiefly of a .somewhat lengthened statement by GcuerarSelby Smyth on the. pre sent condition]of the militia forceB within the Dominion^ and on the . best means to be employed for rtudeiing these 'forces more thor- __ . [ onghly einicienfc, and making the cjiintry more .secure in any even tuality; y It is not .necessary* to give in detail thB% suggestions of General Smyth. WVhave no doubt they will be carefully considered by those more especially connected with the Department, as well as by all the Ministers, and treated; with that respectful attention duar to anything coming from such a source. The time allowed for the yearly drill the General considers imuch too short, and very possibly he is right in this opinion. The effici ency of those reviewed during the year was such as, with few excep tion, to call f$>rth unqualified p-~ probation. The active militia at present cofwista of 43,729 men, with 17", field batteries. Tho reserve militia, ranged in three classes, comprises 655,000, making a total of about 700,000 men liable to be called out for the defence of the " country Waen required. General Smylh is Btf ongly of opinion that all shpuld be made o contribute to the sup- portrof of the military defences of the country whatever may be their jtbeoreticul opinion about ths law- filness'of War, as in the case of Canada any-war possible .must ul- ways bo- of a. defensive character. The Military College at Kingston is reported on favorably, and alto gether a hopeful vt^w is taken of the future of tho uiilitia forces in the Dominion. - / over for further consideration- while th7it of the navigation of the Danubo is left in tho [position in which it -was. la fixing the boun" daries of Montenegro and Servia, a zone of Turkish territory will bo left between. the two frontiers to tillow Hie jPort'e to .maintain com- niunication -with Bosnia and tho Herzegovina; Bulgaria will include Burgas, Varna, and Kustendje, but not Saloniea, nor Adrianotdo ; and liussia will hiiTO power to cedo tie Dobrudscha to Koumauiii in return for Bessarabia. The cession of tho Turkish.fleet is not included in tho conditions ; tho indemnity is reduced to twelve millions sterling, and tho-"Egyptian tributo is un affected. Further conditions provide that tho Princo -of Bulgaria shall not bo a raember of uny Huropean reigning family ; that the amount of tho Bulgarian tributo shall not bo fixeaj for two years ; that all the Bulgarian fortresses .shall bo razed, und ull Turkish"!foops fibull leave the country ; and that tho Russians shall return homo through tho Uosphorua^embarking on tho Sea of Marmora, but not entering Consfattinoole. The treaty of peace has been 6ent to St, Petersburg, f&r_ ratification, and some .fartlier-conce-ssinhs have'been made by KpHto^-.by: which the period q'f the OTisnpation of Bulgaria will be limited to eight months, and tho^westerji extension of the new Principality will be reduced, between Salonica and Mitrovitza. Thero is some talk of a. proposition being made.at the CongreKS for the annexation:;to Austria of Bosnia .and the Herzegovina, ; and it is even'asserted that Austrian troops rare moving southwards with this object in .view. The Austrian Government will.demand the vote of credit from the-^delegation to morrow.
