THE NEW WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. -.
The circular of Gorts ohakof concerning the
treaty of Paris is dated Oct. 81.
1t reciies successive alterations, and violations of
European treaties among them, that of 1856. He
IS unable to tell why Russia should observe the
latter when, it has been disregarded by others.
therefore, Russia disavows its obligation to limit
ed enjoyment of the use of the EuXine, and invites
the Sultan to enjoy equal rights with her She has
no wish to rekindle the eastern question, and only
aims at increasing her defensive strength. Gov
ernment prepared as compromise Substitute
Which Is an arrangement, of the questions at issue
on an equitable, and therefore permanent basis.
LONDON, Nov. -.

stones despatch OH the Russian note, and likcns
him to Lord Aberdeen.

southwark, British flag of observation will be cs-
tabshed in the Mediterranean, with Malta as a
rendezvous.

plants of Prussia about the tone of the Belgium
journals, that the press of the country is contitu

Tours Nov. Is.
The resolve on the part of the Russian govern
ment to withdraw from the treaty of Paris, creates
profound sensation here. 1t is said that IN Eng
llsh envoy has gone to Versailles, to demand King
Williams view of the matter
EXTENSIVE WAR PREPARATIONS IN ENGLAND.
War preparations are being conducted on vast
scale. The fortress Of Gibraltar is being reyCtuall
ed. A portion of the British fleet in the English
Channel has been ordered to the Mediterranean to
reinforce the English war vessels already stationed
there. Throughout England the preparations for
defence extensive. The Government is puf-
chasing powder in large quantities In the event
of declaration Of war Egypt .Servia and Itoumania
will unite against Turkey for independence.
THE VOICE OF THE ENTIRE LONDON PRESS FOR
WAR.
Al the London newspapers speak ofthe demands
of Russia for the restoration of sovereignty over
the Black Sea, and her repudia ion of the obliga-
tons imposed by the treaty of 1856, As insolent
They declare with one voice hat England win
stand firm to her treaty engagement and will not
stand alone in her attitude of compelling the obsel
vance of their obligation by the other cosign tory
powers and those directly bound thereby The
tenor of the articles are decidedly in support of the
attitude OF England as expressed in Earl Granville's
circular to Sir Andrew Buchanan British Minister
at st. Petersburg. The Times says that if the Rus
slams put a fleet in the Black Sea, Turkey will be
able to sweep it off If she is not, England and
other powers are bound to do so. The Standard
has bitter attack on Russia and Prussia, who, it
declares, conspired together to commit monsrouS
act of pertdy and violence in their audacous con-
tempt of public morality, Introducing chaos and
series OF endless wars. 1t procaims that no Eng
fish Ministry's existence would be worth weeks
purchase that dare not give right answer to this
most insolent challenge.
GROWING HATRED OF PRUSSIA.
The Post to-day says: 1.-The cause OF France has
now become the cause of Europe. All of the neu-
trial states are bound to assist her to obtain peace
anu leave her intact, or aid her to continue the war
Austria, Italy and Turkey whip Russia into sub
mission. Either Prussia must sign an easy peace
to liberate her forces, or France, OBTAINING them,
VIII show herself once more the savior of Europe
GRANVILLE's REPLY TO RUSSIA APPROVED
Granve's circular is approved in very opposite
quarters. Its rmness of tone has oceasioned as
tonishment. especially among the Tories whose
hfl ipaIi Thar
ais were scarcely less surprised. Yesterday they
expected an acquiescent policy, and prepar ed to &C.
fend It, To-day there is no such indication. Gran
vile has gone beyond the point where public opill-
ion viii support him. Some of the dipomatists
say openly that they can see no way out of it but
war. But it is equally difficult to see how this
Cabinet can 60 to war, or take steps leading direct
ly TO war, without being first constructed. Nor
is If yet the opinion of the Foreign Office that Rus
STA means to bring one on or that England will be
bound to accept the conflict. They say the situa-
can be formed, the answer of Gortschakof must be
known which cannot be for several DAYS probably
Will not be before Il fortnight
THE BRITISH CABINET.
Special to \. Y. World
London, Nov. Il. Notwithstanding the nomc,-
tary and somewhat forced unanimity existing in
the Cabinet upon the Russian question: it is known
that this unanimity exists only in the theory that
ri >sia will not.
ENGLAND WILL NOT RECDEE.
st. Petersburg 1S,-S p M The reply of the Rus
sian government to Earl Granve's letter was
promptly forwarded to London.
Russia adopts a high conciliatory tone, but re-
mans entirely firm i'll the position already adopted.
and regrets at length the statement that the move
ments of the prinepalites i'll the contrayenton of
the treaty of Paris enured to her IN advantage
She appeals to all friendly powers to the fact
That i Congress is mpractcable in the present state
of the principal European powers, and that Russia
expressly disclams any hostile intentions, de-
sire to disregard any of the provisions of the treaty
OF Paris. other than those which We're originally
admitted TO be unjust and oppressive, she would
deeply regret an interruption of the friendly rea-
tons, which she has endeavored to cultivate
with Great Britain, but she repeats her intention TO
act upon her previous notification in regard to the
Black Sea.
The general feeling of the people of st. Peters
burg is favorable To the position taken by the gov
eminent.
Prussia declares that she views lussia's claims Us
natural, and there should be amicable settle
ment OF the affair, and she cannot see any other
reason for alarm OH the part of the co-signatory
pow crs. Russia might have appealed to the co.
signatorlcs for the revision of the treaty but one of
them has at present no organized government and
is therefore unable to take part in any Congress
that might have been proposed. 1t seems to be adj
mitted by Earl Granville, that nfractons of treaty
have actually occurred in of municipalities, and
not by RuSSia's action. 1t is immaterial whether
these intractions conduce to the interests of Russia
or not. they nevertheless seem to justify her jim de-
clarng certain other portions of the same treaty
are no longer binding, especially when she dis
claims in good faith, any intention to reopen the
eastern question, or commit any act hostile to 9TH
er powers. This is the substance Of Pruss las re-
ply, and she will hold aloof from any further action
in the matter.
