New Mexico and Colorado as States
Urged-TeNt Of the Russian Note.
WASHINGTON, November 19.-Viscount
Treilhard has had an unofficial interview
with Secretary Fish, and will soon be re-
ceiyed as the successor Of NJ. Berthemy.
Berthmy has informed Secretary Fish that
Treilhard's credentials are on the way from
Paris.
1t has been ascertained from the proper
sources that 10 important correspondence
has recently occurred hearing on the Ala
bama claims, or the Eastern question.
Delegations from New Mexico and Color
ado are here urging their admission into the
Union.
The following is the text of Russia's note:
TzARKoE SELO, October 20.-BarOn-In
making the communication to the principal
Secretary OF State Of her Brittanic Majesty,
presented to you by the orders of his Maj
esty the Emperor, you will be good enough
to make its import and objects clearly un-
derstoOd. When. at the commencement OF
the year 1866 Il conference was talked Of for
the purpose Of preventing the war then immi-
nent in Germany by the assembling OF a
congress, in discussing the basis of it with
him the compensation, and the guarantees
which certain eventualities of a nature to
modify the statu QtO existing in the East
would render necessary to Russia.
This was recognized by Earl Russell with
the utmost fairness. He did not deny that
every alteration effected in the text and the
spirit of the treaty OF 1886 must lead to the
revision of that document. Although these
eyentualities have not been realized. Lord
Granville will not deny that that treaty has
suffered grave notifications in one of its es-
sential parts, which can not but impress
Russia that these notifications have not the
Fictitious and hostile tendency toward her,
of which they bear the stamp. 1t is not
the consequences that may result to great
country from the establishment on her
frontier, of a small quasi independent State.
1t is above all the facility with which ten
years after its conclusion, a solemn transac-
ton invested with European guarantees
can be intringed in it's letter and spirit
under the very powers which ought to be
its guardians. In the presence of such a
precedent, what value can Russia attach to
the efficacy of this agreement, and to the
guarantee of security that she believed she
had found in the principle OF the neutraliza-
ton OF the Black Sea! The equilibrium es-
tablished in the East, therefore, is destroyed
to the detriment OF Russia, and the resolu-
tion taken by our august master is to re-
establish it.
Her Britanic majesty's government would
never consent to leave the security of its
coasts to the mercy OF an agreement which
is no longer respected; and it is too just not
to recognize that we have the same duties
and the same rights; but what we especially
desire to establish is that this decision i'm
plies no change i'll the policy of his majesty,
the Emperor, follows in the east. You have
several times already been made to enter
into explanations with the cabinet Of Lon
don, upon the general views the two govern
ments had upon this important question,
and to point out a conformity of principles
and Of interest which we have noted with
much satisfaction,
We have deduced, therefore. that it is
neither from England nor from Russia that
The dangers can come, which could threaten
the Ottoman empire; that the two cabi-
nets have an equal desire to maintain it's
existence as long as possible by the settle
ment and Cancellation Of the differences be-
tween the Porte and the Christian subjects
OF the Sultan. and that, in case decisive
crisis should occur, notwithstanding their
efforts, both are equally resolved to ask
the solution above, all in 4 general agree
ment OF the great powers OF Europe. We
have not ceased to entertain these views.
We believe that their complete analogy
renders serious misunderstanding possible
between her Britanic Majesty's government
and ours.
We attach the utmost value to it as the
best guarantee for preserving the peace and
the equilibrium of Europe from the dangers
which may result from the complications in
the East.
He hopes that there will be no misunder-
standing. BY order OF his Majesty, the En-
perOr, your Excelleney is authorized to re-
iterate the assurance OF this to Lord Gran
vile. We shall sincerely congratulate our
selves If the frankness of these eXplana-
tons should contribute TO it by removing all
possibility of misunderstanding between
her Britannia Majestv's government and u.s.
! I'm, etc. GORTSCUAkOFF
