If the Government said again last night, that !
/. was now certain tia: no combination Of
the powers would be formed against Russia. |
Five Governments besides Russia sgned the
treaty Of 1855, and al ough. equally to be
asgrieved at Russia's violation thereof, b..
they will not even write 4 collective note re-
against the violation. In 1857

@! the provisions of the treaty restricting
sovereignty on the Black Sea; he is now
quite willing anxious-to make still
higher bid for the friendship Of Russia. The
Congress will meet and Russia will gain her
point. Granvilles letter does not mean war
England has no wish for struggle. Her.
self and Turkey are on one side, and Russia,
Prussia and the United States are on the
other. The remaining powers are mere
spectators. Article 9th Of the treaty Of 1856
requires reference Of the questions which
may arise, to the friendly powers, prelimi-
nary to any act Of hostility. An overt act,
not simply declaration, is necessary to con-
Nltupc Dredch OF the treaty.

nation, which will he able to substantiate
by evidence in a few days, OF secret al
lance, offensive and defensive, between Rus

Prussia and France. The fact that after the
treaty Of Paris, in 1851, supplemental

Of the treaty Of Paris by Russia as ccsas
beui, and to act aggressively with Turkey in
such event, is regarded As seriously comprO-
missing England, and as freeing Russia from
all obligations to respect the latter treaty.
The eighth article Of the treaty of Paris pro-
vides that no signers shall declare war for
real or supposed infringement of the treaty
until after giving the signers an opportunity
to inquire into the cause and endeavor IL
make settlement by mediation. The secret
treaty Immediately afterwards entered into
by England, France and Austria il regarded
as a violation of this article, and rs imply
ing treachery and bad faith toward the other

Russia, the United States, acting on the pre-
cesient set by England in the Alabama case,
will cover the ocean with priva,eer- under
