RUSSIA AND THE TREATY OF 1856, Effect of Prince Gortchakoff’s Circular in Turkey. DIVISION OF FEELING IN AUSTRIA The Russian Empire Determined on a Bold and Honest Course. THE POSITION OF PRUSSIA. The Slippery Diplomacy of Great Britain. ASt. Petersburg letter in the Indépendance Belge ways President Grant has offered Russia the co-ope- ration of the American vavy. ‘The London Echo Berlin correspondent telegraphs that a new treaty will be proposed without neatrali- zation of the Black Sea, Tae French representative ‘will take his seat on behalf of the Goverament of Nauonal Defence. ‘The semi-oNicial 8! Petersburg Go’os says that the proposed conierence being likely to consider the substance rather than the furm of the Russian de- mands a pacific solution may be regarded as oer- taip. Advices from Constantinople state that General Ignatiet, being questioned as to the recent arma. ments, said they were insignificant and tor defen sive purposes, Russla was prepared to give better guarantees for the salety of the Porte than those of the Paris Treaty, The Vieuna correspondent of the London Stand- ard telegraphs that a council of Ministers held at Pesth on the 2d resolved that Austria would accept the proposed couference only if Kussla expressly acknowledged its competency and withdrew her notification; lastly, if the other Powers agree to joivt action in case Russia refuses, The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardtan says:—“It 13 stated on good authority that all tie Powers, excepting France, have ac- cepted the proposal for @ conterence. The date is mot yet fixed; but London will be the place of assembly.

If any of your readers were here they would at once see this. Jn reading over tie articles in the Russian journals we mect @ great deal of sophistry and much special pleading, bui also sound practical sense and arguments which are hard tu reiute. On the other hand the Russians find a cons.derable amount of fault with the arguments and views of the foreign press, ‘Wit,’ they say, ‘is our condact so heinous when yeu all approved the action of Italy a few weeks ago in rec¢cting the September Convention the moment France was dowur We show that ihe Treaty of Paris was broken by the union of the Principalities, again: t wich we protested, and you say that we have no reason vo complaiu because that does not injure us, 1s tue treaty not broken all tue same, whether our interesis ure particularly adected ornot?

France, Ttaly and Prussia have acted thus, aud the world pew pretends lo belicve the; were mght. When we, without intrigue or subterfuge, do uot break a treaty, but boldly and honestly say ‘This is unendur- able, we Will not Keep it leager’—that ts, only de- clare our intention of breakiug 1t—)ou iaik of de- stroying [ath m treaties, of violating our plighted faith, &c.; but we have as yét done no.iing but de- clare our intentions—legalize them you wisa, When we prote-t aga nst an infraction of a treaty, such as the union of the Principailiies, you say, ‘ob, We can do nothing, It is a sate ae ompii,’ and ge you call a congress and legalize. What a Wretched subterfuge tuat is!

Tbe London correspondent of the Scotsman writes:—“I can repeat, on the best authority, that our government 1s satisflea with tic conduct of Prussia in regard to the Russian note and disposed to be hopeful as to the maintenance of peace. Ican also add that, not only has the course taken by Lord Granville 12 this matter been approved unanimously by his colleagues, but Lord Derby and other conser- vative statesmen have also, | have reason to believe, taken the oppertunity ot privately commu feat, their satisfaction with it, While speaking ef Lo Granville { may mention that, netwithstauaing his labors at the Foreign Office, he found time to write un arucle for the recent number of the Edin- burg Review-—1 need hardly say, not the one on France and Prussia. As for that much-talked-of article, I believe there is no longer any question that it was composed by Mr, Henry Keeve, the editor of the Review, trom memoranda supplied by Mr. Glad+ stone, The Premier is thus responsible for the facts communicated, and also for certain general views of policy, but nov for personal criticisms on foreign governmenis which are so freely bestowed, aud which, it is Sxprenely: Aenean irom one not munelied by oiticial cence. a The London Spectator say Prince Gortchakofs answer means just this:—‘l shail do as Lilike, but Dt wik it over with a respectable oid man lke you af you think that will do you good, Quarrels make such a voise |? In another article the Spec/ator ex- presses @ fear that we shall have to fight ta the end, and fight under circumstances far less favorable than at present. Sup that, with the Army of the Loire extinct and Paria surrendered, Germany alirms that the Russian demand 14s entirely in ac- cord with common seuse aud must be supported. Are we, then, to recede, or to fight without an ally against allied Powers disposing of nearly two mil- hons of men? This last consideration must have engaged the attention of the Cabinet, and one can- not avoid the suspicion that its resolve hag been ouly @ compromise beiween @ party of war and @ party of submissiov, the rity of war ‘accepting tue policy because it yields nothing, the arty of submission approv- ing it because any postponement of hostilities may avert-the necessity for having resort to them, ‘There is certaiuly too much sppearauce in the Ger- man suggesuon of a desire to gain tume and shift the subjeet matter of quarrel.
