The rupture o. the negotiations has been made known

from statesman not usually deficient in either logic

The explanation OF j ord Clarendon in the House OF
Lorcs last night has given official confirmation to that
which rumor had already suggested with regard to the
details of the conferences OF yenn. II appears that the
Allies prcnosed to Russia that the
Euxine should be declared neutral sea- open the
commerce, and closed TO the ships OF OF all nations;
the other that the Russian force in that should

The Russian Penpotentiaries rejected both these pro-
positions, and afterwards made some counter PROPOSE
ton Of the osp, which England, France and Austria
unanimously agreed inadmissibe. Still, however,
Lord Clarendon Is unable to tell what Austria
is about to adopt Count Baol conser that the
