LONDON, November 17.-Granvilles circu-
lar is approved. In every opposite quarter
it's firmness Of tone has created astonish-
organ this morning is silent. Leading Lib
erals are scarcely less surprised. Yesterday
they expected an acquiescent policy and
were prepared to defend it-tO-day there is
no such indication.
Granville has gone beyond the point
where public opinion will support him.
Some diplomats openly say they see no way
out of it but war; But tits equally dlhcult
to see how this cabinet can go to war, or
take steps leading directly to war, without
being reconstructed; nor is it yet the opin-
ion at the foreign office that Russia means
to bring on, or England be compelled to &C
cept conflict. They say the situation 10
undoubtedly grave, but before an opinion
can be formed, the answer of GOrtschak0M
must be known, which can not be probably
for fortnight.
Granvilles dispatch was delivered by
Queens messenger at st. Petersburg, on
Tuesday.
An instant reply is not expected, nor is 1t
be beheved that GortschakOf anticipated an
answer like that he received.
1t is also affirmed, though an understand
ing is believed to exist between GOrtscha-
koff and Bismarck, that Gortschakoff did
not consult Bismareks wishes as to the
time of the prOmulgatiOn Of this declara-
tion and that Bismarck desired it post
Bismarck desired the declaration post
poned. but GOrtschakOff thought himself
in the position to force the Chancellor's hand
The second element necessary in estimating
the probability of war is the knowledge Of
Prussia's exact position, which may not Do

Bismarck was advised Of RusselPs mis-
sion, and it has since been announced thas
he will be obliged to leave headquarters for
a short absence, on account of his health.
and visit the countries. This may cause q
delay both at St. Petersburg and Versailles.
There is anxiety expressed to know
know of this step, of which its legation at
London and St. Petersburg were unaware.
The Tribune correspondent at st. Peters
burg telegraphs that the Russian note u
universally approved, and that all the pa
pers contain strong articles expressing the
hope of a peaceful result, but stating that
the country is ready for war if necessary.
The Imperial Ukase orders the Russian
army to be recruited upon the Prussian plan.
A correspondent at Berlin telegraphs as
follows: In official circles o peaceful so
luton of the Black Sea question is looked
for.
It is freely admitted that an understand
ing exists between Prussia and Russia, IN
case of war, that they will act together.
The news from London and Vienna to-
day caused panic on bOurse.

Turkey protests against the action Of
Russia, and calls upon the great powers
who are a party to the treaty to enforce its
provisions.
Rumors are afloat of an undertaking
between Russia and the Khedive Of Egypt,
looking to Egyptian independence.

The Doiy Ne,cs of Friday says: The
Russian feeling in England was dying
ideas of policy is fast becoming absolute
prejudice.
The recent action of the Imperial govern
ment has suddenly revived it in more than
wonted strength. The circular of Carts
chakOff forces upon those who hoped better
things, to doubt whether after all, the semi
Asiatic power which occupies Eastern Europe
really belongs to our international SYSTEM
acknowledging the common obligations OF

was comparatively, the other dav, brought
| within the public OF Europe, and now Russia
| seems disposed to Danish herself from it, A
power which discards its most solemn
pledges as soon as the opportunity offers,
goes far to place itself beyond the range OF
diplomatic intercourse: A nation which
does not acknowledge the force Of treaties
can only be dealt with by the force of arms,
| if it is to be dealt with at all.
| The announcement which GOrtschakOfl
makes that the Emperor withdraws from
the treaty, so far as it restricts his rights IN
the Black Sea, that he declines to fulfill the
conditions by which he purchased peace
years ago, leaves him almost alone
LONDON, November IA zsibane cor
respondent, writing from st. Petersburg
under date of the twelfth instant, says
GortschakOf's letter was presented slmu!
| taneOusly at London, Vienna, Constants
nOple, Florence and Tours. On Wednesday
last, after he knew OF the delivery OF hit
note in London, GOrtschakOff called II
person last night at the English Embassy
and offered to show the dispatch to Sal
Andrew Buchanan, explaining that he hat
chosen to communicate directly with tht
respective courts rather than with theiI
representatives here, to avoid all misun
derstanding, rumOrs and exciting kilograms
The news fist became generally known
to-day, the new Turkish ambassador having
learned it at the English Embassy.
Comparatively few know of it even yet.
At the English Club, the rendezvous Of the
governing classes, on Saturday -
scarcely any one had heard of the action
taken. The Assistant Minister of Foreign
Affairs was equally ignorant. So far as ]
can learn, GOrtschakotfs demands are gen
orally approved Of by the Russians. AL
others are greatly excited. 1t is confidently
believed that Austria will fight if England
will. The Russian government must fee
prepared for any event, or it would mo-
have ventured on step so bold Russian
officers say they have carried out for four
teen years the humiliating conditions of thu
treaty with scrupulous fidelity, and thai
now is their time or never. They believe
England will not fight.
