Karl Granville’s Keply—Impossible to Sanc- tion tao Russian Course. Lonpon, Nov, 16, 1870. The following despatch from Karl Granville has oeen published to-night, in reply to Prmce Gortcha- Koff's circular:— EARL GRANVILLE TO SIR A. BUCHANAN. Forgan Orvice, November, 1870, Sim—Baron Brunow made to me yesverday the communication respecting the convention between the Emperor of Russia and the Sultan, limiting their naval forces in the Black Sea, signed at Paris on the 30th of March, 1870, to which you allude in your telegram of yesterday afternoon. Ip my despatch of yesterday I gave you an ac- count of what passed between us, and | now Begpose to observe upon Prince Gortchakoi’s jespaiches of the 19th and 20th ult., Communicated to me by the Russian Ambassador pn that occasion. Prince Gorchakoff declares on the part ef his Im rial Majesty that the Treaty of 1856 has been in- fringed in various réspects to the projudice of Rus- sia, and more especially in. the case of tho Princi- inst the explicit protest of his represen- tative, and that tn ence OL this: 1 tion, Russia is entitled to renounce those stipulations of the treaty which ——. ere ber panes a will no ae dpus whch restrict fer rignts tore in ther Black. Sea, . We have hero. an all ion that certain, facts have oecurred which, inthe ji ent of Ruasia, are at variance with certain stipulations of the treaty, and tbe as- sumption made that Russia, upon the strength of her own juagment as to the character of those facts, ts entitled te release hersel{ from certain otherstipular tions of thatinstrument, This assumption ts imited in its practical application to some of the provisions of the treaty; but the assumption of a right to re- nounce avy one of its terms Involves the assumption of a right to renounce the whole. This stavement 18 wholly independent of the desire 6t Russia to be re- leased from the observation. of the stipulations of the Treaty of 1856 respecting the Black Sea. For the question is, in whose hauds lies the power of releas- ing one or more of the parties from. allor any of Uhese stipulations’ It nas always been held ‘that right beiongs only to the gevernments wilo have been parties to the original instrament, The despatches of Prince Gortokakoft appear to assume that any one of the Powers who have signed the cuneqemen ta allege that accurrences havo taken place which, opinion, are with the provisions at variance if the treaty; and although this view 1s not shared nor admitted by the.co-signatory Powers, may found upon that allegation not are- juest to those governments for the consideration of the case, but an auneuncement.to them that it has emaneipated itself or holds itself emancipated from any stipulations of the treaty which at thinks fit to disapprove of. Yet it 1s quite evident that the effect ot such doctrines, and of auy proceeding which, with or without avewal, 1s founded upon it, isto bring the entire authority and efficacy of treaties under the discretionary control-of each one of the Powers who may have signed them; the result of which would be the entire destruction of ‘treaties in thetr essence, For whereas their whole object it to bind Powers to one-another, and for this purpose each one of the arues surrenders a portion of its free agency by ue doctrine afd procecding now im question, one of the parties, in its separate and individiat capa- city, brings back the entire subject into 1is OW con- trol, and remains boun‘ only to Itself. havea $d Prince Gortchakoif has announced. in. these de- Spatcnes the intention of Russia to continue to ob- werve certain of the prévistons of tlie treaty. How- ever satisfactory in liself, it js obviously an expression of the free will of that Power which it might at any time alter or withdraw, and in thatitis just open tothe same objection as the other poritons of the comryuntcations, i tached to If in Jormer times, The cipaitties of Moldavia and Wallachia, the destinigs of which bad been fixed by the treaty of by the subse- quent protocols under the guarantee of the great ‘ewers, have gene through @ guecession of pavolns tions contrary to the letter and the spirit of those transactions, They have been united in one State, then submitted to @ foreign prince, and. ail these changes have heen effected with the Consent of the Porte, with the conpiyance of the great Pewers, or, at least, without @ny cfort en their part to make good their remon+ sirances.

But however this'may be, #9 far as this country at least is concerned, a great diversion has been af. fected; the Franco-German war has been thrown into the background. For you, and indeed for most other European countries, the Eastern question is only one of H bcining political and commercial in- terest; for Austro-Hungary it is ‘a question of ltie and death.
