j'PA1AcE OF ZANKoE SCIo, Oct. 49,
Baron: The successive attentions
which the compromises considered to be
the, foundation Of tue equilibrium offEu.
rome have in these. last years undergone,
have obliged the Imperial Cabinet to eSN
anime the influence on the political posi-
ton of Russia thcreirOm resulting.
Amongst these compromises that which
interests us most directly Is the treaty or
the 18th and 8Oth iOf March, 1856. The
spccial convention between tho two pow:
ers bordering on the Black Sea annexed
to this treaty contains engagements on
part Of Russia to limit her naval forces TO
incOnsidcratc dimensions. In return the
treaty offered her the principle Of the
naturalization OF this sen. In the view OF
the signatory powers this principle was to
remove all possibility Of conflict, whether
between tho Powers bordering. on the
Black Sea or between them and the mari
time Powers. 1t was to increase, the
number Of territories called by the unani-
nous agreement Of Europe TO enjoy the
benefits Of neutrality, and so to protect
Russia herself from all, dangers OF aggres-
sion. The experience Of fifteen years has
proved tllat!this principle, upon which de.
bends the security Of the whole cXteat Of
tbc frontiers Of tic Russian Empire in this
direction, rests only on theory. In TACT,
while Russia disarmcd in the Black Sen
and even by a declaration, recorded In the
protocols OF the conferences, ,loyally denied
10 herself the possibility Of taking efficient
measures of maritime deienCe IN the
adjacent scapOrts, Turkey preserved
lie right of keeping up unlimited payal
forces in the Archipelago and straits.
France and England preserved the power
of concentrating their nsquadrOns in the
Mediterranean. Moreover by the terms
OF the treaty the entrance into the Black
sea was formally and forever prohibited
TO the flags Of war whether Of riparian
poWers or any other power; but by virtue
Gf Convention, called "Straits ConVcnT
tion p the passage through themnwere
closed only In time Of peace. 1t results
from this contradiction that the coast Of
the Russian Empire remains exposed to
MI aCGrcssions, even on the part OF less
pOwerlul StatesS as soon as they possess
naval forces, to which Russia would be
able to oppose only few vessels O. small
dimensions. The treaty Of the 18th and
8Oth OF March, 1856, moreover, has not
escaped the infractiOns TO which most OF
tho European compromises have been
subject, and in the presence OF which II
would be difficult to affirm TINT written
law, founded, d,dpon the respect for treaties
as A base Of public law and rule for rela-
lions between ,Statcs, has preserved the
same moral sanction which It may have
had in other times. We have seen the
principallties ol Moldayia and NalIaclla,
The fate of which had been fixed BY q
treaty Of peace and by subsequent proto,
coils, under the guaranty Of tho great
Powers, effect series Of revolutions rs
contrary 10 the spirit as to the letter
Of these compromises, and which led
them first TO o union and then 70 the
sovereignty Of foreign prince. These
events occurred with the conseut
Of the Porte Hul the acquiescence
Of the Great Powers. OF, ,at least, withouu!!
tho latter having thought It necessary u
make their DEGREES respected. The rep
reSentatiye of Russia was the only one "a
