MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Prussia Acknowledges the Claims Of
Russia rs to the Treaty of 1856.
LONDON, November 1s.
Herald specal: have authority for stating
that telegraphic dispatches have been received by
the government, indicating the position taken by
Prussia In regard to the Russian question.
Prussia declares that the views claimed by Rus
sla are NATURAL and that there should be an anil
cable settlement Of affairs. She cannot see any
reason for alarm Oh the part OF conslgnatory
powers Russia might have appealed to the con-
signatory powers for revision OF the treaty Of
Paris, but one Of them has at present no organiz-
cd government, and is therefore, unable to take
i
posed.
1t seems to be admitted by Granville that in
fractions OF the treaty have actually occurred IN
the case OF the principalities and not by Russa's
action. 1t Is lmmaterial whether these nrrac.
tions conduce to the interests OF Russia or not,
they nevertheless seem TO Justify her In declaring
that certain other portions OF che same treaty are
no longer binding, especially when she discIaims
In good faith any intentions to reopen the Eastern
question, Or commit any act hostile to other pow
ers. This is the substance Of Prussias reply, and
she will bold aloof from any further action In the
matter.
