Prussian and Russian Diplomacy.
The New York Tribune Berlin special says at
the outbreak Of the present war, Gortschakofl
had several interviews with King William and
Bismarck. The neutrality Of Russia was the
principal object Of the negotiations, and Gortscha-
kor demanded the acqulescence OF Prussia in
the abolition OF that part Of the Paris treaty
which forbids Russia Keeping a fleet In the Black
Sea. Bismarck accepted the proposition, and 1t
was then mutually understood the claim Of Rus
sa should be put publicly forward on the conclu.
| sion peace between Prussia and France. By this
arrangement Bismarck was enabled, by the mid
die Of August, to send for two corps which had
been left for the defence OF the eastern province
Of Silesia, and Prussia was enabled to set time
for the beginning Of the war. By this understand
ing not only was the neutrality Of Russia secured
but Gortschalor had even pledged himself to re-
| strain Austria from interference between Prussia
and France Some weeks ago the cabinet at st.
Petersburg thought peace was about to be made
prematurely, and silence was broken concerning
the designs OF Russia.
