Lonpon, Nov, 18, 1870, ‘The following !s the despatch of Prince Goricha- koff to Baron Brunnow, communicated by Baron Brunzow to Earl Granville on the 9th of November, and referred to in the second paragraph of Kart Granville’s despatch :— TZARKOR SEL0, Oct. 20, Barox—In making the communication to the principal Secretary of State ef her Britannic Ma- Jesty, presented to you by the orders of his Majesty the Emperor, you will be good enough to make 11s import and object cleariy understood. A REMINDER. When at the commencement of the year 1863 a Conference was talked of for the purpose of prevent. ‘mg the war then imminent in Germany by the as- sembling of a congress, in discussing the basis of it ‘With Earl Russell, you were able to point out to him ‘the compensation and the guarantees which certain eventualities of a nature te modify the status quo existang in the East would render necessary to Rus- ae GRAVE MODIFICATIONS OF THE TREATY. ‘This was recognized by Earl Russell with the ut- most fairness. He did not deny that every altera- ton effected in the text and the spirit of the treaty of 1866 must lead to the revision of that document. Although these eventualities have not been realized Lord Granville will ret deny that that treaty has suffered grave modiilcations in one of its essen- tial parts, WHY PRUSSIA OBJECTS. What cannot but impress Russia in these modi- Acations is, not the factitious and hostile tendency toward her of which they bear the stamp; it is mot the consequences that may result to @ great country from the establishment on her frontier of a small quasi independent State; it fs, above all, the facility with which, ten years after its conclusion, a solemn transaction, invested with @ European guarantee, can be infringed in its letter and spirit under the eyes of the very Powers which ought to be ita guardians, NECESSITY FOR SEQURITY. In presence of such a precedent what value can Russta attach to the eficacy of this agreement and tothe guarantee of security that she believed she had found in the principle of the neutralization of the Black Sea? The equilibrium established in the East, therelore, 18 destroyed to the detriment of Russia, and the resolution taken by our august Master is to re-¢stablish it. Her Britannic Majesty’s government would never consent to leave the security of its coasts to the mercy of an agree- ment which 1s no longer respected, and it ig too Just net to recognize that we have the same auties sand the same rights. B ut what we especially desire to establish is that this decision implies no change in the policy lis Majesty the Emperor follows in the East. e U8 OTYOMAN EMPIRE NOT THREATENED BY RUSSIA, You have several times already been made to en- ter inte explanations with the Cabinet of London upon the general views the two governments hoid Upon this important question, and to point out a eonformity of principles and of interests which we have noted with much satisfaction, We have de- duced tuerefore, that it 18 neither from England nor from Russia that ihe dan- gers can come which could threaten the Ottoman Empire; that the two Vabinets have an equal desire to maintalm tts existence as long as possible by the settiement and conciliation of the differences between the Porte and the Christian subjects ef the Sultan, and that 4m case @ decisive crisis should occur, nothwith- standing these efforts, both are equally resolved to ask the solution, above all, in a general agreement of the great Powers of Europe. We have net ceased to entertain these views; we believe that their com- plete analogy renders a serious understanding pes mble “between her Britannic Majesty’s government and ours, We attach the utmost value to ttas the best guarantee for preserving che peace and the equilibrium of Europe frem the dangers which may result from the cemplications in the East. ‘HOPES THAT THERE WILL BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING. By order of his Majesty the Emperor your Excel- dency is authorized to reiterate the assurance of this to Lord Granville. We shall sincerely congratu- date ourselves if the frankness of these explanations should contripute to it by removing all possipility of misunderstanding between her Britannic Majesty's government and us.

Russian claims wits respect to a modification of the treaty of Paris, of 1856, as a natural expression tending towards an amicable settlement of a point of diMoulty. Prussia cannot perceive any reason for the present alarm of the consignatary Powers to the treaty. Russla may have appealed to the consig- nataries of the paper, asking for @ revision of fhe treaty of Paris, put one of these Powers (France) has at present no regularly organized sys- tem of government, and is, consequently, unable to take part in the deliberations of any congress or conference which may be proposed with a view of replying to the Czar, It appears to be admitted by Ear! Granville that infractions of the treaty of Paris have actually occurred in the cuse of the Danubian Principalities, and not by the action of Russia, Itis quite immaterial whether these infractions tend, in their consequences, to the interest of Russia or not, They nevertheless seem to justify her in declaring that certain other portions or clauses of the same treaty are no longer binding on her, more particularly when she disclaims in good faith the entertaining ofany intention to reopen the Eastern question or to commit any act hostile io the other Powers of Eu- rope or to Turkey. Such is the substance of the Prussian reply te Lord Granville’s circular, Prussia will adhere to tho spirit and tone of tus present note and keep herself aloof from taking part actively in the matter. PEACE MAY BE PRESERVED. Ip official circles yesterday peaceful solution of the Russo-Kastern question was anticipated. Of- ficers of the Prussian gevernment admit the fact of the existence of a secret understanding between Prussia and Prussia to the effect that they will co- operate in the event of a European war. WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK. ‘The Russian question ts viewed im Berlin as a matter in which Russia should decline to meddle. ‘The belief prevails generally that Russia will gain her point.

London, Nov. 18, 1870, A HERALD special telegram from Frank‘ort, dated in that city yesterday evening, says:—A heavy East- ern gale, or Eastern question storm, has blown over the Frankfort Bourse within the past few days. When the astern question first made its appearance on the scene of finapcia- operations here people startied very considerably, They were afrald of a European war. Tis first alarm cooled down by degrees, particularly when it was discevered that the whole matter was regarded calmly—indecd, With indifference—in government quarters. ‘The opinion began to prevail then—it became unl. versal soon afierward—that Eugland alone was in a position to take up the gauntlet of Russia, but that she wilt never do it, and that after writing some few acrimonious Stete paper notes she will allow Russia to deal with uke Paris treaty of 1856 at discretion. Even in careful finaucial circles here there is an evident disposition to justify Russia in ner act of following tie other Powers in disregarding the really effete provistea@et the Paris treaty, It is alleged by leading politicians that ever since the moment when Napoleon the Third proclaimed that the treaties of 1816 were at an end, and that too without having been taken to task for the asser- tion, the other Powers felt that the treaties’ law ana ebilgations had been set at naught. Count Bismarck alone of all the statesmen of Europe was candid enough to admit openly at that time that thenceforth “might would go before Tight” in the matter.

He fears to take any very decided step lest he may excite the enmity of Prussia, Premier Von Beust is anxious to resign his office. ‘The general belief entertained here 1s that the Russian movement {s in reality a demonstration which is intended soiely to work in the interest of Prussia, and nothing more.
