In his note asking that Hsssia he
no longer held amenable TO these PRO
visions Gortschakoff says: tssE sate
The special correspondence be-
tween the two powers bordering o.
the Black Sea, auusxed 70 this treaty
contains an engagement On the part
Of Russia to limit her naval forces %

The experience OF fifteen years has;
proved that this principle, upon which

theory. In fact, while Russia disarmo
ed in the Black Sea and even Ly .
declaration recorded in the protocols
OF the Conferences, loyalty denied
herself the possibility Of taking eff.
cient measures of maritime deferse in
the adjacent seas and ports, Turkey
presumed the right Of keeping uv
unlimited naval forces in tho Arch
ipelsgo and the Straits. and France
and England pressrved the power Of
concentrating their squadrons in the
Mediterranean. Moreover, by the
terms Of the treaty the entrance in
to the Black Sea is formally and for
ever prohibited to the hag Of war,
whether Of the riparian powers or
sny other power. But By virture OF
the convention, called the Straits
Convention, the passage thrsaghs
these straits is closed to flags Of waxr
only in times Of peace. Il results
from this contradiction that the coasts
of the Russian empire remain expos
ed to all aggressions even on the
part Of less powerful States as soon
as they possess naval forces, 70 which,
Russia would be able to oppose only
= few vessels Of small dinensions.-
Gortschakoff then cites several
infractions Of the treaty by other
powers, and says that at several
intervals and under various pretextsy
the entrance to the Straits has been
opened to foreign ships Of war, nd
that Of the Black Sea to whole. sqnad.
