delay IN the conVocation:
The importance of the circum-
stances which made me wish to OBJ

its weight, but has been Increased by
recent and more serious events.
A correspondent, of Friday, gives
an authoritative account of the rela-
tions existing between Russia and
Prussia. At the outbreak of the pres
ent war Prince Gortschakof had sew
eral interviews with King William
and Count Bismarck before their de-
parSure for the seat of war. The
neutrality of Prussia was the princi-
PAL object of the negotiations, and
Gortschakof then, as reward for the
neutrality of Russia, demanded the
acquiesence of Prussia in the aboli-
ton of that part of the Paris treaty
which forbids Russia keeping feet
in the Black Sea.
Bismarck accepted the proposition,
and it was then mutually understood
that the claim of Prussia should be
first publicly put forward on the con-
clusion of peace between Prussia and
France. By this arrangement Bis
marck was enabled by the middle of
August to send for the corps which
had been left for the defence of the
Eastern Provinces.
A correspondent at Versailles, on
Friday. says that nothing definite is
known of the progress made IN the
negotiations between Odo Russell
and Bismarck, but the Prussian feel
ing is that war cannot follow the ac-
ton of Russia.

A corresDondent in Berlin says
Silesia and Prussia were enabled to set
the time for the beginning of the war,
and by this understanding not only
was the neutrality of Russia secured,
but Gortschakof had even pledged
himself to restrain Austria from inter-
fering between Prussia and France.
Some weeks ago the Cabinet at st.
Petersburg thought that peace was
about to be made prematurely, aud
the silence was broken concerning the
designs of Russia, In Germany. No
one apprehends that war will be the
result. It is thought that the ques-
ton concerning the objections Of
Russia the treaty of 1856 can be set
tied by Congress.

LONDON, November 27.-Strenuous
efforts are being made TO bridge over
the difficulty In the Cabinet and avoid
an immediate rupture. Gortscha-
koff's note is considered decidedly bad,
and is nothing more than the first
circular repeated in e different Lam
guage. 1t disclaims, now as before. a
desire to disturb the>peace of Europe,
or to assail the integrity Of Turkey,
but declares, as before, that the in
tention is to set aside the treaty of
1856 without an appeal to the other
siguatories.
Granville's friends insist that il his
reply to Gortschakof was justifable
before, it is still more justifable now,
and If his colleagues refuse to support
him, honor dictates his retirement
from the Cabinet.
