mand as insolent.

LONDON, Nov. IL. - The report
which reached this city, this morn
ing, OF the capture Of the German
steamers Havana and Lepsig, was err
roneous. The steamers are now at
Bremen haven.
The Prussian bark Hermann Heb
Mauns, was blown up by the French
frigate, off the coast of Ireland, yes
terday. The story Of the capture of
the steamers probably originated from
this circumstance.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE following
is the addition to Gortcbakoh 8 cir
cular received last night: At several
instances and under various pretexts,
entrance to the straits have been
|, opened to foreign ships of war, and
that of the Black Sea to whole
squadron, the character Of which was
a violation of the character OF abso-
Lutte neutrality, ascribed to these wa
> tiers. In proportion as the pledges
7 offered by the treaty grew weak,
! especially the guarantees of an ettec-
tive neutrality of the Black. Sea, the
introduction of iron clads ships were
unknown and unforeseen, and the
. conclusion of the treaty of 1896,
z AUGMENTED for Russia dangers of
!. an eventual war, By increasing
: in considerable proportions, already
evident in the equality of the re-
: spective naval forces. In this
: state of things His Majesty. the EN-
peror, was obliged to ask himself,
what are the rights and what the
. duties which accrue to Russia from
these notifications In the general sit
= uation, and from those infractions of
:, the epgagements2" To which he has
> not ceased to be scrupulously faithful,
!. although they were conceived IN a
spirit Of mistrust with respect to him.
Upon q mature examination of this
: question, His Imperial Majesty has
: arrived at the following con-
! clusion, which you are direct
E ed to bring to the knoWl-
! edge of the government to which
you are accredited. Our August Mas
= ter cannot admit, in law, that treaties
. infriDged in several of their essential
= and general clauses, remain obligato-
: ny on those which touch the direct
interests Of his Empire. His Impe-
rial Majesty cannot depend on fiction,
! which has not Withst0od the test OF
: time, and be put In peril by his re.
1 Iespect for engagements which have not
: been observed in their integrity. The
!. Emperor, confding in the sentiments
Of the equity of the signatory powers
of the treaty Of 1856, and in
the consciousness they have of their
own dignity, instructs you to declare
4 that His Imperial Majesty can no
q longer consider himself bound by the
obligations of the treaty of the 18th
to 30th Of March, 1856, so far as this
limit has the right of sovereignty In
j the Black Sea, and that His Majesty
y considers it his right and duty to give
Il notice to His Majesty, the Sultan, in
g respect to the special convention, adj
y ditional to the said treaty, hieh fixes
g the number and Dimensions of the
Y ships of war, which the two
Is Riperian powers reserve the right OF
@ maintaining,in the Black Sea; that he
y Loyalty gives notice of this to the pow
70 ers signing and guaranteeing the gen
u eral treaty of which this special Con
b Vention constitutes an integral part
9 that he restores TO His Majesty, the
10 Sultan, full possession of his rights
n in this respect, as he equally re-
q claims his own for himself. In dis
7S charging this duty, you will be
II careful to state that our August
81 Master has in view only the security
Os aud dignity of his Empire. 1t is by
y no means the purpose of his Imperial
Is Majesty to raise the Eastern question
e upon this point. He has no other
~ wish than the preservation aud consol.
!. idation Of peace. He fully maintains
g his adhesion to the general princi-
n pies OF the treaty of 1856, which set.
So tied the position of Turkey In the
% European system. He is ready to
Il come to an understanding with the
a powers who signed this arrangement
az either to conform to its general stip:
% ulations or to renew them, or to suU.
~ stitute for them any other equitable
~ arrangement which may be thought
a suitable to secure the repose of the
