New York Tribune special There was great ex-
,cIsement, but no panic, over the Russian news IN
the stock exchange and elsewhere. Some such
Russian step has been so long expected that the
public was partly prepared for it. 1t is the form
and the peremprorin ess Of Russla's declaration
which have created surprise, rather than the de-
mand itself. There is nothing yet like talk about
war, but the English Cabinet is in no mood to he
deferred by the prospect OF collision, in which,
however, it does not believe. There Is nobody
who says that Englan d will not In any case go to
war. Both here and perhaps still more in conti-
mental cabinets sen Sc OF the impossbilty OF per.
misting open dictation by Russia Is uppermost.
The following correspondence has passed:

Stf-Baron Brunow made to me yesterday
communication respecting the convention be.
tween the Emperor OF Russia and the Su tan,
limiting their naval forces In the Black Sea, sign
ed at Paris on the 3oth March, 1856, to which you
allude In your telegram Of yesterday afternoon.
In my dispatch OF yesterday gave you an ac-
count Of what passed between Us. and l now
propose to OBSERVE upon Prince Gortschakoh's
dispatches OF the l9th and Goth ult., cOmmunica-
ted to me BY the Russian Ambassador on that oc-
casIon. Prince Gortschakof declared, on the part
OF his Imperial Majesty, that the treaty OF 1856
had been infringed upon in various respects to
the prejudice or Russia, and more especially in
the case of the priHcipaiities, against the explicit
protest OF his representative, and that III conse-
quence OF these infractions Russia Is entitled to
renounce those stipulatiors Of the treaty which
directly touch her interests.
1t is then announced that she will no longer be
bound by treaties which restrict her right Of SOW
e:eignty in the Black Sea. We have here the al
legation that certain facts have occurred which,
I'm the Judgment of Russia, are at variance with
certain stipulatons OF the treaty, and the as
sumption made that Russia on the strength or
her own judgment Us to the character or these
facts, Is entitled TO release herself from other sLp
ula,ions OF that Instrument. This assumption Is
limited in its practical application TO some OF the
provisions OF the treaty but the assumption OF
the right to renou:ice any one OF It's terms In
wolves an assumption OF right to renounce the
whole.
This statement is wholly Independent Of the
reasonabeness or unreas0nableness, on It's own
merits OF the desire of Russia to be released from
&ho 0f>S nf n n
1856 respecting the Black Sea- for the question is,
s.In whose hands lies the power OF releasing one
or more OF the parties from all or any OF these
1t hs always been held that that right belongs
onlypto the governments who have been parties TO
the original instrument.
The dispatches OF Prince GCrtschakof appear to
assume that any one Of the powers who have
signed an engagement may allege that occur
rences have taken place which, IN It's opinion are
at variance with the provisions OF treaty, aud
although this view is not shared nor admitted by
the consgnatory powers, we may found upon that
allegation not request to these governments for
consideration or the case, but an announce
ment TO them that 1t has emancipated ITSELF or
holds ftsef emancipated from any stipulatiOns Of
a treaty which it thinks ft to dsapprove. Yet 1t
is-qute evident that the effect OF such doctrine,
or or any proceeding which, with or without
such avowaL is founded upon it, is to bring the
entire authority and efficacy OF treaties under
the discretionary control OF any one OF the
powers who muy have signed, the result OF
which would be the entire destruction OF trea-
ties In their essence; for whereas their whole OBJ
feet to bind powers to another, and for this
purpose each one OF the powers surrenders por-
tion OF its free agency, by the doctrine and pro-
ceedings now In question: one OF rhe parties, In Its
special and Individual capacity, brings back the
entire subject into It's own control, aud remains
bound only 10 ITSELF Accordingly Prince GOrts-
chaEof has announced in those dispatches the
Intention OF Russia to continue to observe certain
Of the provisions Of the treaty. However satis-
factory this may be In itself, It Is obviously ex
preston Of free will OF that power, which 1t might
at any time alter or withdraw, and iu this it Is
open TO the same objections as the other portions
OF the communication, because 1t implies the right
OF Russia to annul the treaty on the ground of
allegations Of which she constitutes herself the
only Judge. <
The question therefore arises not whether any
desire expressed by Russia ought to be carefully
examined In o friendly spirit by the cosignatory
powers, bur whether they are 10 accept from her
the announcement that by her own act, without
any consent from them. she has released herself |
from the solemn covenant.
2eed scarcely say her MajeSty'S Government |
haVErecelved this communication with deep re. |
gret, because It opens discussion which might |
unsettle the cordial understanding 1t has been |
their earnest endeavor to maintain with the Rus |
sian Empire; and for the above mentioned rra- |
sons It Is impossible for her Majesty's Government
to give any sanction on their part to The course
announced by Prince Gortschakon
II, instead OF such declaration. the Russian Gov |
ernment had addressed her Maesty's Govern |
ment and the other powers who are parties to the
