STAMPED SD• Pasha were of material assistance, Count Buol proposed to the belligerent Powers a general understanding to the following effect := ' 1. That the plan of limitation of numbers agreed to in Lon. don should be first proposed and be supported by Count" Buol. 2. That it should be proposed that Russia and Turkey, by mutual agreement, should maintain reciprocally a force no larger than that which shall remain to Russia at the end of the war. A list to be' drawn up, and the convention referred to in the treaty to have the same force as if it formed part of the treaty, Ship& of war of the allies to be admitted into the Black Sea in limited numbers, not exceeding for each half the Russian force. 3. In case of the failure of both these propositions, he thought that bases of peace might be found in the following conditions :—A general engagement to respect the integrity of,the Turkish empire on behalf of each of the Powers, and against any one of them which should violate this engage ment ; a provision that the closing , of the Dardanelles and. Bosphorus should continue to be the rule, with the excep tion that Powers which have not establishments in the Black Sea may be 'admitted by the Sultan to the extent of half the number maintained by Russia for each Power ; consuls in the Russian ports ; a treaty with Austria that if Russia shall in crease her naval force in the Black Sea beyond the number maintained by her in 1853 it shall be a, came belli for the con , tracting Powers. It was agreed that the guarantee of the in tegrity of Turkey shoultk bL proposecidoefore any of these plans, the questions being taken in the order of-1, guaran tee ; 2, closinr , of straits, atd limitation. I reserved my opi nion for further consideration. Such was the generalreeult of this important meeting. M. Drouyn de Pliuys called upon me in the evening, and we drew up together a rough outline of the proposals to be made. It will be seen that, supposing the second proposition to be rejected as well as the first, the value of the third depends on three things :- 1. Guarantee by all the contracting Powers of the territory of Turkey. 2. A system of counterpoise in the Black Sea. 3. The limitation of the Russian force in the Black Sea to the number of ships maintained before the war, under pain of war with the Allies. The value of this last article consists in the maintenance of the alliance directed against Russia. I confess it appears to me that if this third system can be made an u/timatunt by Austria, it ought to be accepted by the Western Powers. In saying this, I may appear to contradict my former opinions. But, in fact, Ido not retract those opinions. The system of limitation I believe to be far better than that of counter poise ; but the-question is between an imperfect security for Turkey and for Europe, and the continuance of the war. Should the Government of her Majesty, in concert with that of France, be of opinion that such a peace can be accepted, they will instruct Lord Westnaoreland accordingly. If not, I hope to be allowed to be heard personally before a final de cision is made. No. 10.

My Lord,—Count Colloredo has read to me a despatch from Count Buol on the subject of the third point, which forms the greatest difficulty iu the negotiations, and which is about to be taken into consideration by the Conference. Count Buol observes that, Russia having admitted the principle that her preponderance in the Black Sea is to be put an end to, there can be no doubt that apparently the simplest and most direct mode of attaining the end which the allies have in view would be by the limitation of the naval forces of Russia in that sea. This result might be obtained by Russia engaging either to reduce her fleet to a fixed number of ves sels, or not to increase their actual number; and the latter alternative, while it would make the sacrifice more easy, would come to nearly the same result, as half the fleet at Se bastopol has already been sunk by the Russians themselves. But Count Buol thinks that there may be Feason to ap prehend that Russia may oppose this solution of the ques tion, on the ground of its affecting her dignity and national honour, which the Emperor Alexander will have to consult as much, or perhaps even more, than his predecessor. He argues, therefore, that it will be necessary to provide for the case of Russia refusing categorically to enter.into any positive engagement to reduce her naval forces. In such an event, and supposing that a complete agreement had been come to on the three other points, would the belligerent Powers, Count Buol asks, consider it indispensable to con tinue the war on that account? But be adds that, whatever their decision might be, Austria, for her part, not being at present engaged in hostilities, would have no sufficient mo tive to declare war against Russia, if the solo obstacle to peace were the refusal of that Power to consent to the direct limitation of the Russian naval forces in the Black Sea. In order, then, to arrive at a practical solution of the ques tion, Count Buol is of opinion that recourse must be had to the system of counterpoise. For this purpose he says that several possible combinations present themselves. Russia and Turkey might enter into reciprocal engagements not to maintain in the Black Sea more than an equal number of ships of war. In this case the only other point to be considered would be the revision of the treaty of 1841, so far as to concede to the other Powers the right of maintaining a limited number of ships of war in the Black Sea, with the special object of watch. ing over the due execution of the arrangements for keeping clear the navigation of the Danube at its mouths. If, however, Count Buol adds, the naval forces of Turkey and Russia in the Euxine could not be placed in this manner on a footing of equality, the Porte might, while maintaining the principle of the closing of the Straits as a general rule, re serve to herself the right of calling into the Black Sea, as an exceptional:measure, even in time of peace, as many ships of war of friendly Powers as sho might consider necessary when ever she found herself menaced. If Russia persisted in maintaining in the Black Sea a fleet larger than could be required for purposes of defence, and refused to consent to any kind of limitation of them, it would be impossible to contest the right of Europe to consi der the maintenance of such force as a permanent danger to Turkey ; in this case the exception would become the rule, and the Porte would have continually reasons for giving fir mans to the ships of war of friendly Powers to pass the Straits. Such a state of things would, Count Buol thinks, be little agreeable to Russia ; and it is by strongly supporting this argument that it may be possible to convince Russia that it is more for her own interest to prefer either a direct or bull act system of limitation. I told Count Collerodo that I had listened to Count Buol's despatch with equal surprise as concern, as it was nothing short of an announcement that Austria would not adhere to the treaty of December 2, if the Western Powers persisted in car rying the third basis into effect, for Count Buol must be aware that his proposed system of counterpoise was both inadequate and impracticable. A reciprocal engagement between Russia and Turkey to maintain an equal number of ships in the Black Sea would secure the preponderance of Russia, whose ships would always be better manned, better armed, and in a better condition than those of Turkey ; but Count Buol proposed that at the same time other Powers should maintain a limited number of ships of war in the Black Sea, for the special object of keeping clear the navigation of the Danube, and upon that I begg e to observe that the special object might or might not be the real one, and Count Buol might be sure that England and France would not profess one thing while they intended another. If Count Buol's proposals were really to be adopted, I could only say that ships of war would be utterly useless at the mouths of the - - . laimbe to watch over the fulfilment of stipulations that a commission was appointed to carry out; that if these ships moved away from the mouths of the Danube Russia would have just ground for complaint, and that if England and France were suddenly to be at war with Russia this limited force might at once be overpowered by the force that Russia would be suffered to retain. But if England and France, under pretext of watching the Danube, were to send a force into the Black Sea to protect Turkey and keep Russia in check, then we should simply be continuing the present system, which effectually scares both these ob jects, but which system we are on every account desirous to put an end to. Count Buol's next proposal, that Turkey should call in as many foreign ships of war as she thought necessary, whenever she found herself menaced, appeared p me, I said, even more objectionable ;"fox it would impose upon the Western Powers the duties of perpetual police, while it would relieve Turkey from the care of providing for her own protection, as she would consider that 'she had acquired a right by treaty to call upon England and France for aid whenever she thought herself in danger, without reference to the cost and inconve nience to them or to the distance at which their fleets might happen to be stationed. As Count Buol, however, abandoned the notion of limiting the naval force of Russia, and conse quently of preventing its indefinite augmentation, Turkey would always be in danger, and consequently would always consider herself menoced. But what was the meaning, I asked, of this right to call upon foreign Powers Surely it could not be intended to uphold the independence of the Ottoman empire by a stipu lation which made its existence dependent upon foreign as sistance ? And what were England and France to do in the event of their obeying these calls, which might constantly be repeated Why, they would have to send into the Black Sea on each occasion armaments as powerful as they now main tain there, in order to be o❑ a footing of equality with Rus sia, and they must always be expecting and bo prepared to go to war with Russia. But Russia will be mistress of her own policy , and her own actions, and will know how best to carry out her own de signs at the right moment. So far from menacing Turkey, sho might establish the most friendly relations with her ; she might lull her into false se curity, and within three days after she had picked a quarrel with Turkey a Russian army might be in possession of Con stantinople and occupied in fortifying the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles; and while the navies• of England and France were upon a peace establishment a Russian fleet of 27 or 30 sail of the line might suddenly issue from the Baltic and sweep the British seas. The Porto would then learn, Europe would then learn, but too late, the value of that delusive right which it is proposed to confer on Turkey of calling in her allies at the approach of danger. Yet such were the terms, I said, upon which Count Buol seemed desirous to conclude a peace that was to behonourable and just, that was to maintain the independence and integrity of Turkey-, and that was to furnish solid guarantees for the future tranquillity of Europe, but I need hardly say that in such arrangements her Majesty's Government could take no part. If the war went on it would be for Austria to consider her own position, not only during its continuance after the pre parationg she had made, the language she had held, and the engagements she had entered into, but also at its con clusion when peace was made between the four belligerent Powers. She may rest assured, however, that, even though England and France were deprived of the immense advan tage of Austrian co-operation in a cause that is essentially Austrian, they will not abandon that cause, but they will use every means at their command, and will shrink from no sac rifice, to obtain their demands, which are founded on justice, and which have the safety of Europe for their object.—l am, &c., CLARENDON. (No. 2.) THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. (Extract.) Foreign-office, April 3, 1855. The Baron de Bourqueney's despatches having led the French Government to doubt whether it was the intention of Russia to accept the third basis in the sense in which it has always been understood by England and France, it occurred to M. Drouyn de l'Huys that the object in view might be effectually attained, and that the dignity of Russia might be better consulted, by excluding all ships of war from the Black Sea. M. Drouyn do l'Huys accordingly prepared a memorandum upon the means of giving effect to the " neutralisation" of 1 the Black Sea, and he proposed that, with the concurrence of her Majesty's Government, this project should be sub mitted to the Conference as a proof of the desire entertained by England and France to meet any reasonable objections on the part of Russia, and of the sincerity with which they la bour to bring the negotiations to a peaceful conclusion. I acquainted your Lordship by telegraph on the 24th ult. that her Majesty's Government acceded to the project of the French Government. The Baron de Bourqueney informed his Government that the project had not bean favourably received at Vienna, and M. Drouyn de l'Huys, after taking the orders of the Emperor, determined to proceem himself to Vienna for the purpose of but to come in the first instanceexplain i n t g o and London supportingin order his to vie e w st s a , blish a complete under standing between the two Governments as to the course that it would be expedient to pursue. M. Drouyn de l'Huys ac cordingly left Paris on the 29th ult., and on the following day a meeting was held here, at which were present the French Ambassador, M. Drouyn de rHuys, Lord Palmerston, Lord Lansdowne, and myself. The questions of the neutralisation of the Black Sea and that of the limitation of the Russian naval force in that sea were fully discussed. . With respect to the first (neutralisation), it was agreed to propose :- 1. That Russia and Turkey should have no ships of war in the Black Sea, nor in the Sea of Azoff, excepting some few small vessels, for the purpose of sea police, to prevent piracy; and that, as regarded the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, an understanding should be come to with the Porte, with a view to ascertain whether the Porte would not be willing to include those waters in the arrangement if it should be neces sary to do so, in order to obtain the consent of Russia to the application of the principle of neutrality to the Black Sea and to the Sea of Azoff. 2. That the ports of the two Powers in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff should be solely commercial ports. 3. That foreign Powers should be allowed to have consuls in those ports. 4. That there should be no menacing assemblage of troops by either PoWer on the shores of the Black Sea. 5. That the allied Powers (England, France, and Austria) should have the right to send their naval forces into the Black Sea if the provisions of the treaty should be violated. 6. That the two Powers (Russia and Turkey) should have the right to maintain a fixed number of light vessels for the police of the Black Sea, and unarmed transports exclusively adapted for the conveyance of troops. • With respect to the second question, viz., the limitation of the naval force of Russia, it was agreed to propose :- 1, That Russia and Turkey 'should each of .them maintain in the Black Sea, and in the Sea of .zofl, no more than four sail of the line and four frigates, witla proportionate number of light vessels for the police of thof seas, and of unarmed transports exclusively adapted for to conveyance of troops, and that this same limitation ihoulapply to the naval force which Turkey should maintain in 0 Bosphorus and in the Sea of Marmora. 2. That Englaw], France, and kustria should each be permitttd to maintain half that umber of ships in the Black Sea, that is to say, two sail f the lie, and two fri gates, and some smaller vessels for ach of e three Powers if they should think fit so to statiouthem. nssian ships of t s war not to be allowed to enter the Bospho , nor to pass through the Straits into the Meditetanean. 3. That, in case of danger to Turley, and on the demand of the Porte, all the naval forces of Eglaud, France, and Aus tria, should be allowed to enter the ;lack Sea, to assist in de fending, the Turkish empire. 4. That the contracting Powers sbuld be allowed to have consuls at all the Russian and Turkiii ports in the Black Sea and in the Sea of Azoff. t e. It was then agreed -1.. That the, two systems, namely that of the neutralisa tion of the Black Sea, and that of th limitation of the naval forces of 'Russia and Turkey in Ur Black Sea should be explained to Austria, and that she would be asked whether she would adopt either the one or'the other,' so as to co operate with France and England in proposing it to Russia, undertaking further to co-operate it war with France and England if the plan so proposed shoud be rejected by Russia. 2d. That it should be understood pat France and England. would prefer the system of inentralisition if Austria should leave the choice to England and Franc. • 3d. That if Austria - should refuse to bind herself to co operate in war with France and Egland, in the event of Russia rejecting that one of the two proposals which Austria might concur with France and Eughad in proposing, then France and England should propose he plan of neutralisa.; tion, and if it be rejected by Russia tie negotiation must be broken off. I have only further to add that her Majesty's Government rely with confidence upon the best ororts of your Lordship 'and of Lord Westmoreland, being used for carrying into effect the agreement which they have oomktowiththc Government of the Emperor of the French. • No. 3. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. TO TILE EARL OF CLARENDON.—(RECEIVED ARRIL 13.) Vienna, April 10, 1855. (Extract.) _ After the 'Conference yesterday K. Airouyn de Lhuys, Baron Bourqueney, Lord Westmoreland, and I met Count Buol and Baron Prokesch in Count Buol's official apartment. Count Buol addressed us in a very formal manner, and told us that he was about to explain to usfullY (a fond) the policy of the Austrian Government on the third point. He Said that the plan of neutralisation as develo)ed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys appeared to him on reflection . 4 come within the third point, and to attain its object vol . ! completely; that he should have no difficulty in saying that Austria would be glad to see it accepted. He had not, however, any hope that Rus sia would accept it, as she would thereby be disarmed iu the Black Sea, while Turkey would be armed in the Bosphorus, or at all events in the Mediterranean. He should, in like manner, be glad to see Russia consent to limit her forces. But, looking at the concessions Russia 01 had made on the first and s e cond point, and the pro pity of her acquiescence in what might be settled on the urth point, Austria was not prepared to go' to war on acc unt of the refusal of Russia to limit her naval force in the Pluck Sea. That force had been already nearly destroyed ; whaf remained was blocked up, and Russia would hereafter be afrd,id.to give offence to France and England, for fear of similar contiNuences. M. Drouyn de Lhuys answered these observations very ably. He laid it down as a principle that the value of a treaty or agreement of any kind is that each article, instead of being the cause of the separate members, became the cause of the whole ; that, without any treaty, Austria might have defended the Principalities, and the maritime Powers have sought to 21 put an end to the Russian p r eponderance in the 131 k Sea ; that the value of the treaty consisted in the unioi objects and of efforts. In this spirit France and England h ' efeaded the free navigation of the D a nube, and had A been thwarted in her endeavours on that subjecther allica ld have been prepared to continue the war in her support ; t at he ex pected, in like manner, Austria would urge the adop on of the third point, whi c h was very cle a r and positive in its te s; that, unless she did so the alliance would lose all binding force, and would soon crumble to pieces. He explained and defended the plan of neutralisation, which he conceived to be beneficial to the whole world. He, therefore, asked Count Buol very pointedly what he would do in support of the third point, which was essential to the conclusion of a durable peace. Before Count Buol could answer, I requested his attention to what I conceived to be the position of Austria. From the first moment of Prince Menschikoff's leaving Constantinople I had thought that, with the assistance of Austria, we might easily defeat the designs of Russia in the East; that without Austria we should have a. long, though doubtless a victorious contest. I remarked that there were three roads by which Russia might reach her long-cherished object—the possession of Constantinople ; one by Asia, the second by the Princi palities and Bessarabia, the third by the Black Sea ; that the Asiatic route might be put out of consideration for the present purpose ; that the route by the Principalities was stopped by Austria and the Allies ; and the third route re mains to be considered. Marshal Marmont had gone into this question as a military man, and had shown how, by embarking 10,000 men with 25 sail of the line at Sebastopol, and a march of 60,030 men by Bessarabia, Constantinople might be seized by Russia. He ar gued, however, that all depended on priority—this time we had the priority, another time Russia might have it. !might be told that Austria would intercept the invasion by,laud ; she had, however, not haerrup Led the passageot the - Dariinte or the siege of Silistria, and she might he equally" slow on another occasion. •I showed that the project of counterpoise was ineffectual, as we could not always have a large fleet at hand ; humiliating to Turkey, if she were always to lean on France and England; un safe for Europe, which would be kept in the perpetual ferment of preparation for war. We had, however, examined this plan carefully, in conformity with the desire of Austria, and only gave it up from being convinced of its inadequacy. I said M. Drouyn do l'Huys , had so ably explained the plan of neutralisation that no more need be said. Wo were however, ready to adopt the plan of limitation if Austria, on its rejection , would join us in the war. _ _ I alluded, lastly, to public opinion in England. I said we considered this as an European cause ; and that, both as a great Eilropean Power and from her position, Austria was called upon to take a leading part in defence of Turkey ; that we had made allowances for the difficulties of Austria, but we had felt deeply that, when she was prepared for war in July last, she had allowed division after division to be taken from Bessarabia to the Crimea, without attempting any diversion in our favour ; that we had still hoped, and the voices against Austria were few. But, if new, after the treaty of the 2d of December, Austria escaped its engagements by relying solely on the letter of that treaty, the irritation against Austria in England would be very great; that it would be impossible to revive confidence, or to, fasten again the parts of a cable which had failed to hold. It was the decisive moment for an alli ance which, if kept together, would accor9plish a great object. After some time spent in discussion, Count Buol seemed to me to depart from the course he had taken at first. He no longer said that Austria was determined not to support us in case of a rupture. Ho spoke of, treating the third point like the two former ; of coming to no previous resolution re specting war ; and of not engaging in hostilities for two ships more or less. Another meeting for Wednesday, with the assistance of Aali Pasha ' was proposed and settled. This has been, in my opinion, an attempt on the part of Austria to induce the Western Powers to relinquish their pro posals on the third point. As such, it has entirely No. 4. LORD JOIIN RUSSELL TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON. (RECEIVED APRIL 15.) (Extract.) Vienna, April 12, 1855. Another meeting was held yesterday at Count Buors, at which Aali Pasha and Arif Pasha were present. Count Buol read to us a paper which ho had drawn up. I afterwards asked him for a copy of this paper, but he declined to give it me, saying it had no official character, and had not been seen by the Emperor. The paper, however, contained the present resolution of the Cabinet. This resolution is to hear the propositions of the Court 'of St. Petersburg before committing themselves further. It may be that the answer of the Russian Emperor may be so unfavourable and so peremptory that Austria will at once concert with her allies on the mode of breaking off the negotiations, and stating to Russia a casus bell~. But it may be that the Russian answer will admit of further discus. sion in Conference, with a hope of pacific settlement. The Austrian Government declines, therefore, to give any further pledge at the present moment. • This resolution, natural enough in itself, was based upon very unsound reasoning. Count Buol maintained, that in the first draught of the four points it was stated that the treaty of 1841 was to be revised in the interest of the balance of power, but that the plan of reducing, Russian power in the Black Sea was an afterthought, and had been adopted by the Austrian Government rather to please her allies than from any conviction of its necessity ; that, while, they were ready to support the proposal in conference, they were not prepared from personal regard to their allies to go t o war without a case of proved necessity. M. Drouyn de Lhuys and I combated this reasoning. W e stated that the views of the French a nd En g lish Gover nments were no secret to Austria or to the wo rld . S p eeche s in Par - Ipivambleienhted in onth t e ke pa; i t on ef it t en he r Bonngitihshe part of the French, had Government, official notes attested in the most public manner , s ix or eight months ago, m ou ea r n ap e o p f re p h r e o n vl i d o i ns ng onfgethineet it. We appealed to Aali Pasha asdaoger, and our estimate of the to the reality of the danger of an attack on the Bosphorus by a Russian fleet and army, and he fully confirmed oar views by his own emphatic statements. Count Buol argued that it was not necessary to make Tur key equal to Russia, as in the s/stem of the baland of power small States could preserve their ind e p endence in the neigh bourhood of States far superior to t hem in th e number of their armies and the extent of their r esources. But this was answered by pointing to the Pocnliar situa tion of the Black Sea, where Russia had ke pt up a great naval force without any commerce t o g uard, in the presence of no rival Power, and too evidently for p ur p os es of aggres sion. Count Buol told us he had not P ressed the neutrality of the islands at the mouth of the Danube, as he NI as u he had done so, the Russian Minister would have broskerne , u if p the Conference. He said he could not p ro p os e war to the Diet at Frankfort for two ships mor e or less. • lamanswered d a that,hadAustria haertln n eutrality r r o ali ty f the Conference of the islands at the mouth of the Da nube, and should not ha ve argue d i n cenrehtaken place, I insisted on t the British Parliament that this w as a point whi c h on l y con cerned Austria, but I should have represented it as the cause of an ally ; and I was sure that three-fourths of both houses would have supported her Majesty's Governmennn such a quarrel. M. Drouyn de Plauys observed that s our treaty'of D e e. 2 was not with the Diet of Frankfort , but with Austria. VeboortthhantpoefallieluditatotiAonuse cases be Austria to makil, and eitheplauexpl neutrali sationess ed our belief that if this was done Russia w ould at once gite way. Count Buol positively declined to accede to thi s proposa l , and maintained his former reserves. ~ While I consider this course as not unna tural on the part of a Power which has hitherto kept out of the war, and is very averse to plunge into it, I co nceive t he Policy of such reserve to be unwise in itself, and unjust to he r a llie s ,— unwise, because Russia, after so many sacrifices of her pride and military position in the Principalities to please Austria, would nearly to a certainty give way, and thereby secure the peace Pit mach desired; W4 ll O t° .her allkc Incase after the sacrifices they have made and are making, it is due to them that their armaments should not retire from the Black Sea without obtaining in the conditions of peace some special security against Russian preponderance in that sea. The interests of Austria may be fairly supposed to outweigh in the Austrian Cabinet the general interests of Europe. There is, however, some chance that at the last moment Aus tria may prove firm. It seems to me that Russia must either refuse to limit her naval force in the Black Sea on the ground of her dignity and her greatness, or she must consent to make her limitation effectual for its objeCt. In either case our po sition is a good one. Our present business is to concert with the French and Turkish Plenipotentiaries the exact mode in whiCh we shall act in the Conference, and leave it to Prince Gortschakoff to declare the purport of the instructions which he may receive from St. Petersburg. Should these be of a nature to meet our proposals half way, M. Drouyn de l'Huys and I intend to 'declare at once what wo would accept, without any further discussion. If this is refused, we break off; if a fresh reference to St. Petersburg is asked we intend to say that we can only consent to" Such reference on condition that the answer must be a decided yes or no. 'For such an answer M. Drouyn de l'lluys and I should not wait. In relating what passed at the meeting I have omitted to, say that Count Buol, in the paper which he read to us, 'de Glared that if Russia were to refuse to guarantee the integrity of Turkey it, would be a casus belli with Austria.

Vienna, April 16, 1855. My Lord—The Russian messenger will arrive to-day; con ference will probably take place to morrow. The Austrian Minister wishes it to adjourn for further deliberation till next day. If other hope is lost I wish to propose to the Conference the following plan. The French Minister is favourable to it. Austria will not support any demand for cession of, territory. 1. As the existence of au aggressive Russian fleet in the Black Sea would be in flagrant contradiction with the as surance so often given by Russia that she does not wish to impair the integrity of the Ottoman empire, it is agreed : (1.) That with the exceptions stated in the following arti cles, the rule of closing the Dardanelles and Bosphorus, re cognised by the treaty of 1841, shall be in force so long as the Russian naval force in the Black Sea shall not exceed four sail of the line, four frigates, and six smaller vessels. (2.) That while the said rule subsists two sail of the line, two frigates, and three smaller vessels of any Power which has no establishment in the Black Sea, and which is in amity with the Sultan, may enter the Black Sea upon giving four days' notice to the Ottoman Government.

At no time shall any ships of foreign nations, beyond the small ships belonging to the Embassies admitted hitherto, anchor in the Golden Horn, nor shall any number of line of battle ships belonging to foreign Powers not having establish ments in the Black Sea excee ling four, pass at one time before the capital in •their passage from the Dardanelles to the Black Sea, or from the Black Sea to the Dardanelles, while the Sul tan is at peace. 2. The cession to Turkey of the islands at the month of the Danube surrendered by the treaty of Adrianople. 3. The Asiatic frontier, on the side of Russia, to be newly laid down and defined. . 4.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.— (RscElvEn Anna 21.) (Extract) Vienna, April 16, 1855. Wo bad yesterday a meeting of four hours' duration at Count Buol's. M. Drouyn de l'Huys, Baron Bourqueney, Lord Westmoreland and I were present. Count Buol, having been earnestly called upon by M. Drouyn de l'Huys to join the Western Powers in case of rupture, had prepared an ultimatum of the Austrian Cabinet. It was ob vious that great care had been taken iu preparing the ground upon which Austria means to take up her position. Count Bud dwelt especially on the importance of closing the Dar danelles, and the value of an European guarantee of the Turkish empire. But the real point of his discourse lay in the declaration that Austria would not assent to press Rus sia on the question of limitation further than the restoration of the s(atus quo of the Russian fleet before the war: The question was put in this way : If order to tarry into effect the third point, Count Buol - proposed the following to be-ma/warted Lo the Conference The clos ing of the Straits. 2d. The guarantee of Europe for the terri torial circumscription of the Ottoman empire. 3d. The prin ciple of a limitation of the Russian naval forces - in the Black Sea. In presenting this third measure as a cants belli to Russia, it was to be thus stated :—Limitation fixed at the number of the fleet before the war, to be completed according to the system of a balance of power. By this last phrase I understood was meant that as fast as the Russians should build ships, Turkey should be allowed to introduce ships into the Black Sea ; so that in some years, if Russia should have 15 ships of the line at Sebastopol, Turkey might have 15 sail of the line cruising in the Black Sea. It would be difficult and wearisome to give the details of a conversation which lasted for four hours. I will endeavour, therefore, to give an abstract of the arguments employed. Count Buol set before us the insignificance of the danger to be feared from the presenCe in the Black Sea of ten ships of the line not yet in existence, nor likely to be so for some time, compared with the advantages to be derived from a peace attended with such important concessions by Russia. He ex tolled the security which Turkey would obtain by the Euro pean guarantee. He spoke of the means which Turkey pos sessed for her defence. He again declared that the limitation of the naval forces of Russia had not entered into the original definition of the third point, and Austria had only adopted it it in deference to the urgent representations of the :Western Powers. But Austria would not make war for ten ships more or less. She could not justify such a course to Germany or to Europe. She had never pledged herself to war against Russia for such a cause, and never would. She would look to the whole of the peace to be made, and not to a single part. On the other hand, the French and British Plenipoten tiaries maintained that a limitation to be good for anything must be an effectual limitation ; that it would be a limita tion to say that Russia should not have more than 6,000 ships of war, bait such a limitation would be absurd. Look ing at the particular proposal before us, it was evident that the state of the Russian naval force before the war was the very state of danger against which wo were anxious to guard. M. Drouyn de l'Huys referred to the attacks on the Turkish ships at Sinope, and the declarations of Admirals Hamelin and Dundas that they could not with prudence divide their forces. I said that the British Government had always pointed to the Russian fleet in Sebastopol as a standing menace to Tur key, and to provide by treaty that this very forco might again be constructed and assembled would be a course they could _ _ not justify to Parliament or the nation ; that Russia, if she consented to limitation, would hardly refuse to agree to one that would be efficient. The closing of the Dardanelles and an efficient limitation were consistent propositions ; but, if the limitation was not to be efficient, the closing of the Straits would be inconsistent. He bad himself argued that the dan- ger consisted not in the magnitude of the Russian force, but in the tcte-a-tete of Russia and Turkey in the Black Sea. Yet this very danger he now proposed to restore. Count Buol was ready to propose consuls at Sebastopol and elsewhere in the Black Sea ; stations for small vessels at the mouth of the Danube ; the faculty for the Sultan of call ing the fleets of his allies to his assistance in case of menace ; and other subsidiary provisions. He laid it down as a prin ciple that the existence of an aggressive fleet in the Black Sea is a flagrant contradiction with the assurance so often given by Russia that she does not wish to disturb the integrity of the Ottoman empire. But he did not consider that a fleet of 15 sail of the line was excessive, or could be dangerous to Turkey. He spoke of 10 sail of line-of-battle-ships, not yet built, as not forming any real object of alarm to Europe. The Ottoman Minister, who was unfortunately not sum moned to meet us, is of a totally different opinion. Ho thinks it would be injurious to the Porte to require that we should devote her revenues to the fortifications on the Bosphorus, when internal improvements so urgently require her attention. He doubts whether any forts on the Bosphorus would save Constantinople from attack. M. Drouyn de l'Huys, in the conversation I am reporting, said that he was ready to increase the number of Russian ships of war to be maintained to the number now above water in the Black Sea. I added, that although I had no authority to do so I would undertake the same engagement. Count Buol, however, 'persisted in his proposal, and asked us to refer it to our Governments. It is not necessary to state the measures which Austria would be prepared to take to convey an ultimatum to Russia upon this basis. They are well conceived, and would be doubtless acted upon with good faith. But I cannot suppose that Russia would prefer war with Austria to a peace which would give her leisure and means to prepare a new attack on the Ottoman empire. In the case of such an attack renewed five years hence, could we rely on the Austrian guarantee of the integrity of Turkey? I apprehend that the same financial embarrass ment, the same doubt of Prussia and the German States, and an army reduced to the establishment of 1852, would para lyse her then, as they did in 1853. The occupation of the Principalities by Russia she felt to be dangerous to her existence as a great Power, and she risked war to put an end to it. But, that point accomplished, I fear we must not count upon her aid to save Constantinople from the encroaching ambition of Russia. No. 9. LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO THE EARL OF CLARENDON.-(RECEIVED APRIL 21.) (Extract.) Vienna, April 18,1855. Yesterday, after the Conference, the Plenipotentiaries of France, Great Britain, and Turkey, met in Count Buol's apart ment. There had been an anxious feeling at the result of our former meeting. The position on both sides appeared to be uneasy, though much more on the side of Austria than on ours. The war would, indeed, in all probability continue to be a struggle glorious to England and to France, and calculated to maintain the reputation of those two great Powers. But the waste of life and money would be enormous. On the other hand, the fact of Austria's declining to join in the war would have roused a very angry feeling in France and in Great Britain. With the Westera Powers alienated, Prussia triumphing over her in Germany, and Russia bent on her humiliation, her situation would have been almost in tolerable. These considerations on both sides led to the pre valence of a conciliatory spirit in the meeting of yesterday. After much discussion, which was conducted with great tern i per on all sides, mul in which the ,j4dgmeAt And tact of Aa No. 13. Lord Clarendon disapproves the proposal No. 2 of Count Buol, contained in Lord John Russell's despatch of the 18th of April. No. 14. THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND. (Extract.) Foreign-office, May 8, 1855. Count .Colloredo read to me a few days ago a despatch, dated the 23d ult., from Count Buol, stating that, th s e Rus: sian Plenipotentiaries having declined to take the initiative . - . . in proposing measures for giiinc , effect to the third point, and having rejected the proposal made b for that object by the four Powers, and having subsequently, at the 12th conference, on the 21st ult., brought forward a proposal of their own, which, having for its basis the opening of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to the ships of war of all nations, could not seri- ously be considered, it had become necessary, Count Buol said, to resort to other means for the solution of the problem. He had accordingly consulted the Plenipotentiaries of Eng land and France, who, after taking into consideration the position of Austrni, and the difficulties of various kinds that war would entail upon her, unless her motives for going to war were powerful and clearly established, had agreed to re- fer to their Governments two propositions that ;night, as a last resource, be presented to Russia as ultimatum;, the re jection of which would lead (entrainerait) Austria to war. The first of these propositions was a guarantee by treaty for tile Ottoman empire against Russia by a system which, " without imposing any direct or explict limitation upon Russia, would compel her, nevertheless, to impose a limit upon herself, as she would be under the weight of a gradu ated counterpoise, and a line would be traced which she could not pass without exposing herself immediately to war with the allied Powers." The second proposition rested upon a limitation that was to be the result of an understanding between the Plenipoten tiaries of Russia and Turkey. Count Thinl ennelisiscl his despatch by saying that, as her Majesty's Government were informed of the details ,of the propositions, ho had merely given the substance of them to Count Colloredo. I told Count Colloredo that the details alluded to by Count Buol had. not reached her Majesty's Government in a for mal shape, and I could therefore offer no opinion upon the vague proposals in Count Buol's despatch, or say more at that time than that her Majesty's Government were desir ous to consider any proposal for a safe and just peace that would give effect to the objects that Austria was pledged, in conjunction with England and France, to secure ; but, I added, as the Conferences were then suspended, and as Lord John Russell was to leave Vienna on the same day that Count Buol's despatch was dated, her Majesty's Government had determined to take no further steps until his lordship's ar rival, and they had had the advantage of hearing his advice and opinions ; the same course would, I believe, be pursued by the French Government, in waiting for the return of M. Drouyn de Lhuys. It is right I should here inform your lord ship that her Majesty's Government are not at this moment. any more than at the time when Count Buol's despatch was read to me by Count Colloredo, in possession of any written document containing in precise terms the proposal that Aus tria is willing to make to Russia. Such a document, how ever, was read on the 15th ult. by Count Buol to Lord John Russell and M. Drouyn do Lhnys, but he declined to give them a copy ; and when Count Buol was reminded of this by the English and French Plenipotentiaries before Lord John Russell's departure from Vienna, Count Buol stated that all the necessary information had been sent to Count Col- foredo, by whom, however, as I learned yesterday, nothing further has been received than the despatch to which I have already alluded. But Lord John Russell and M. Dronyn de Lhuys rely upon the accuracy ,of ,the cotes which they respectively took to assist their own recollection; and these have been the subject of anxious consideration on the part of her Majesty's Govern ment. In consequence of the determination taken by her Majesty's Government, and having ascertained that the French Govern ment concurred in that course of proceeding, I requested Count Colloredo to call upon me yesterday, and I read to him the following terms, which Lord John Russell had reported to her Majesty's Government that Austria proposed to address to Russia : - " 1. Guarantee as against each other of the independence and integrity of Turkey. "2. The closing of the Straits, with exceptions in favour of the allies, not in favour of Russia. "3. The allies may each have two frigates in the Black Sea. "4. If the Russians exceed the number of ships now ac tually floating in the Black Sea, the allies may have each half the number of Russian ships of war. "5. In case of danger the Sultan may call up the whole naval forces of his allies. " 6. Austria will propose to Russia an engagement not to increase her naval forces in the Black Sea beyond the actual number existing in 1853, and, whether Russia accepts this engagement or not, will sign a treaty with us making the in crease beyond 1853 a cases belli." I then proceeded to state that her Majesty's Government could not attach much practical value to the engagement of Austria to make, at some future period, a cases belli of the increase of the Russian fleet beyond a given amount, for she had already declared that it was beneath her dignity to discuss numbers, and that she could not admit that the question of peace or war should turn upon 8 or 10 ships of the line, and that if such were the case now, when circumstances enabled Austria to go to war with advantage, what prospect would there be of her doing so some years hence, under circumstances likely to be far less favourable, for the very same cause, though in a lesser degree, that she would not now entertain ? I reminded Count Colloredo that Austria was pledged to put an end to the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea ; and I asked how that pledge would be redeemed by the pro posal that the allied armies and fleets should withdraw from the Crimea and the Black Sea, and that England, France, and Turkey should agree by treaty that the naval forces of Russia should be re-established in that sea the same in number and in power as before the war, which amount we had oonatantly declared, and Austria had agreed with us in declaring, was a menace to the Ottoman empire and to the peace and equili brium of Europe. I said that on a former occasion I had ex pressed in strong terms to Count Colloredo the opinion of her Majesty's Government upon this proposal, and it was hardly necessary to inform him that that opinion was unchanged. I said I was sure that Count Buol would admit that the Plenipotentiaries of England and France had faithfully ad hered to the course of proceeding that he had himself sug gested in a despatch communicated to me by Count Collo redo in November last, that England and France should not, in the course of the negotiations, bring forward demands of a nature calculated to insure their rejection; and the best proof of their having done so would be found in the fact that the several proposals made by them to Russia had received the frank and cordial support of the Austrian Plenipotentiary; but as those proposals had been rejected by the Russian Plenipo tentiaries, who had declared that no limitation of Russian forces would be listened to, and no interference with tlr . , _ so vereign rights of Russia within her own territory vr i o n u a la _7 allowed, and as, moreover, they would not oven join f the r"' Ot and bona fide guarantee of the territorial integrity.: had not toman empire, little doubt could exist that Russ means abandoned her designs against Turkey; and that , w w o er u e ld ta a ll s e u n r f e o dly r cur soo ta n i e li r n o g r h lu er te a: b g e re for England and The time was now, therefore, arrivedof her engagements, France to invite Austria, in fulfilmen s • for g iving immediate executedsaggressive pow . to concert with them the meas th ur 2 e d.

No. 15. THE EARL of WESTMORELAND TO TgIR EARL OP CLARENDON—. (RECEIVED MAY 19.) (Extract.) Vienna, May 16, 1855. The proposition of Count Buol, a sketch of which was sent to your lordship in the telegraphic despatch of this day, Is annexed to this despatch. Count Buol has felt that since the publication of the pro tocols of the Conferences by her Majesty's Government the position of Austria in the eyes of the public would be ren. dared extraordinary if she did not take any measure to fulfil the words which he had himself used at the last Conferences —namely, that Austria would still seek the means of bring— ing about an understanding between the great Powers of Europe. Riving in view, therefore, the fulfilment of this engagement on" the part of Austria, which had now bees made public, and having, as a second object, to give to the final closing of the Conferences (if, indeed, they were to be . • - closed) the dignity of an official form, Count But)]. had , drawn up the propositions now submitted to your lord ship, which he thought had' the great advantage of not. betraying that that perfect unity of ideas between Aust4a and the Western Powers which had been so manifest during the whole course of the negotiations had in any manner been disturbed. Count Buol, therefore, making use of the right to convoke . , the - Conference, which appertain s t o eac h o f its members- so long as it is not formally dissolved, proposes to state to the . assembled Plenipotentiaries that, in accordance with the lan guage he had held as the 12th and 13th Conferences, he had invited them to assemble, in order to submit to them the pro position which accompanies this despatchlail the stipulations of whiish had originally been suggested by the British and French Plenipotentiaries. Count Buol believes that the proposition wih be sup ported by the representatives of England and France, and that it will be rejected by the Russian representatives, as it has already in part been rejected by them. Count Buol would then declare, on the refusal of the Russian Plenipo tentiaries to entertain this project, that it appeared to him that there was no further object for the meeting of the Conference, which ho would then formally close. In communicating this plan to Baron Bourqueney and my self, Count Buol begged that our GovernMents should be so licited to consider its communication as of the most confiden ti Lal character. With regard to the proposition itself, ho pointed out to us that it was entirely based upon ideas which had ema nated from the British and French Plenipotentiaries, to which he added some modifications of his own. He stated distinctly that the proposition, such as it was, was one which must be either accepted or rejected by Russia, and that ho would not bring it forward as one capable of bearing discussion and mo dification. Count Buol then stated that, as he still considered that the project which had recently been submitted (as Austria's ultimatum to Russia) to the British and French Govern ments, and rejected by them, fulfilled the engagements which Austria had taken with regard to the third basis, he would not consider that the rejection of the present proposition by the Russian Plenipotentiaries in conference would entail upon Austria the giving effect to the extreme obligations of the treaty of the 2d of December. Count Buol then said that while he recognised the right of the British and French Governments to abstain from the Conference which he intended to convoke, he must remark to us that such abitention would constitute the rupture of the negotiations by our Governments, and would thus render pa tent the dissidence of opinion which prevailed between them and the Government of Austria. (Enclosure.) PROPOSITION TO BE SUBMITTED BY COUNT Boon TO TUB CONFERENCE. 1. The high contracting parties being desirous that the Sublime Porte should participate in the advantages of the good understanding established by the law of nations among the various States of Europe, severally engage to respect the independence and territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire, guarantee in common the strict observ ance of this engagement, and will in consequence consider every act and every event which would be of a nature to endanger it as a question of European interest. If a difference should arise between the Porte and one of the contrNctiug Powers, those two States, before resorting to arms, should place the other Powers in a position to obviate this contingency by pacific means. 2. The rule respecting the closing of the Straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, established by the treaty of July 13, 1811, shall remain in force, with the exceptions specified in the following articles :- 3. Each of the contracting Powers which has no establish ment in the Black Sea will be authorised by a firman from his Highness to send into any station in that sea two frigates or vessels of smaller force, in order to protect their commerce and to exercise the necessary inspection. 4. The Russian Plenipotentiaries and those of the Sublime Porte will propose in common to the Conference the equal effective force of the naval armaments which the two sea bordering Powers will maintain in the Black Sea, and which must not exceed the amount of Russian vessels at present afloat in that sea. The arrangement which they shall have ,'made in this respect shall form an integral part of the general treaty. There shall 'also be inserted in the treaty the measures which the said Plenipotentiaries shall have agreed to, with a view to enforce the precise and constant observance of the stipulations of the present article. ' 5. In the event (which God forbid !) of the Sultan being me naced with aggression, he reserves to himself the right of open ing the Straits to all the naval forces, of his allies. No. 16. THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND. Foreign-office, May 29. My Lord,—Your despatch of the 16th* has been received and laid before the Queen. Your Lordship states in that despatch that Count Buol has felt that since the publication of the protocols by her Majesty's Government the position of Austria in the eyes of the public would be rendered extraordinary if she did not take any measures to fulfil the words used at the last Con ference—viz., that Austria would still seek the means of bringing about an understanding between the great Powers of Europe ; and that having in view the fulfilment of this engagement, together with the object of giving to the final closing of the Conference the dignity of an official form, Count Buol desires to convoke the Conference, and to sub mit to it the proposition which is inclosed in your Lord ship's despatch. Count Buol expects that this proposition will be supported by the representatives of England and France, and that it will be rejected by the representatives of Russia; and Count. Buol would then declare, on the refusal of the Russian Pleni potentiaries to entertain the project, that there was no fur ther object for the meeting of the Conference, which he would then formally close. Your Lordship will convey to Count Buol the best thanks of her Majesty's Government for this communication, which they regard as a fresh proof of the good-will of Austria and of her earnest desire to promote the, restoration of peace; and you will state to his Excellency that her Majesty's Govern ment consider that they would be wanting to the frankness and good faith which have hitherto characterised the pro ceedings between Austria and the Westeru Powers if they hesitated to make known the objections they entertain to the course which Count Buol proposes to adopt, and the groands on which they think that the engagement taken by his Excel lency at the last Conferences will not be effectually carried out by a project which he says lie expects that Russia will re ject, and which cannot be acceptable to Euglaud and France. Either we are prepared to give up the conditions which, with the concurrence of Austria we have hitherto demanded as the means of carrying out that object of •the third point which consists in making the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea cease, or we are not prepared to do so. If we had brought our minds to despair of sueceel in war, and were ready therefore to make peace on any terms which would at once put an end to hostilities, then the pro posal which Austria offers to make on our behalf to Russia would be inexpedient, because it contains the principle of limitation to which Russia has already objected, and her ob jections to which she has now publicly announced in her cir cular of May 10th ; and, if such were the hopeless state of our affairs, it would be necessary to make some proposal that Russia would be likely to accept, instead of one which, in tho opinion of Count Buol, Russia is almost certain to reject.. But if, on the other hand, we still think the future pro spects of the war sufficiently favourable to entitle us to persevere in demanding the conditions which we have put forward as affording a foundation for future security, then the proposal of Austria is open to serious objectious, be-_ cause, though it contains the principle of a limitation ?f the naval forces of Russia in the Black Sea, the principle is not applied in a manner that would be effectual for its pur pose ; and it does not contain the principal of consul tap P th o e i n i t i r a n t which hand may supervision , be agreed whichupon is mightthe best uot security exceeded,ha without the knowledge of the Sultan and his Allies. nesty is altogether omitted in the propo h s I must also observe that the stipulatiointiotrofacgeounnetrtuari and no allusion is made to Sardinia, eis now in active co operation with England and France , and interests they are especially bou nd en titled to become a Iv an t d o war, is contracting party to any treaty of peace. fororviwdhe,osane dignity and by her active co-operation in the war suede us to empower her to But what are the inducementschseulcdhooufftebrsyotuosutrriabethoapfeiro- Russia p m o i s g a h l st of fe peaceheld There are, indeed, two in a nc emen e ts w w od hi p e r h o ? out to us as a temptat ion to make ren to Russia. 1 ., a n probability, be accepted by Russia, and that . t h e ir nature won be satisfactory to made, being in The one would be, that su t c h h e asproplaals intended to be be obtained on te • • terms alike honourable to us, both parties, an g security against the renewal of war.

But in the present case no such inducements are held out ; the conditions are not in would satisfactory to us. We are told that Russia would, in all probability, refuse them ; and Count Buol informed your Lordship that this rejection by Russia would not lead Austria to give full effect to the obligations of the treaty of December 2 by uniting her arms to ours. The only con sequence, then, of the course of proceeding which Count Buol propcses that we should adopt would be a formal declaration by Austria that the Conferences were at an end, and, it is to be presumed, a subsequent announcement that she had de. termined to maintain her neutral position, and to take no Part with England and France in the war. Undoubtedly, in the present state of things, her Majesty's Government see no advantage in the continuance of the Con ferences, and are prepared to concur in their being closed ; but au announcement by Austria that she meant to take no part in the war would bo most injurious to the cause which Austria has, morally an d politically, espoused, and would, on that account, be deeply regretted by her Majesty's Govern ment. The value which her Majesty's Government attach to the Austrian alliance is too well known to Count Buol to need * Ito. 15. _=~►~= ni
