&ags LONDON, Nov. 1o 1870.
The following despatch from Earl Granville has
oeen published tonight, in reply TO Prince Gortcha-
kors circular:-
EARL GRANVILLE TO SIR A. BUCHANAN.
FOREIGN OFFICE, November, 1870.
SIR-Baron Brunow made to me yesterday the
communication respecting the convention between
the Emperor OF Russia and the Sultan, limiting
their naval forces In the Black Sea, signed at Paris
on the 30th Of March, 1870, to which you allude
In your telegram OF yesterday afternoon. In
Count COZ p'Sw Of what passed Between s" Us, and now
propose to observe upon Prince Gortchakon's
dispatches Of the 10th and goth nit. communicated
to me by the Russian Ambassador on that occasion.
Prince GOrchakoH declares on the part or his lmpe-
rial Majesty that the Treaty of 1853 has been In.
sia and more especially in the case OF the Princi-
paties against the explicit protest Of his represen
tattve. and that In consequences OF this infraction
Russia IS entitled TO renOuncc those stipulations OF
the treaty which directly touch her interests. II
70 then annsnnced that she Will no longer be bound
ereignty IN the Black. Sea. We haYe here an
allegation that certain facts have occurred
th certain stipulatI0ns OF the treaty and the as
sumption made nat Russia, upon the strength Of
her own judgment as 10 the character Of those facts,
Is entitled To release certain other stipula
tiOns OF tlat instrument. This assumption Is limited
In its practical application to some Of the provisions
OF the treaty; but the assumption Of right to re-
nounce any one or It's terms involves the assumption
OF right to renounce the whole. This statement 10
wholly independent Of the desire Of Russia to be
leased from the observation OF the stipuatlons OF
the Treaty Of 1855 respecting the Black Sea- For the
question s In whose hands lies the power Of releas
ing @ always
right belongs only to the governments Who have
been parties to the original Instrument.
The dispatches OF Prince GOrtchak0f appear to
assume that any one OF the Powers who have signed
the engagement may alIece that nccnrrences hayo
with the PROVISIONS OF the treaty; and although this
view Is not shared nor admitted by the c0sIgnat0ry
a1es those or the
the case, but an announcementtO them that II has

For whereas their whole object 1t to bind Powers to

Prince GOrtchakoR has announced In these de-
spatcnes the intealion Of Russia to continue TO OBJ
serve certain OF the provisions OF the treaty How
aver an & the es viii Of that Poweyy
which 1t might at any time alter or Withdraw,
as the other portions of the comWunicatlons,
because 1t implies the right OF Russia to annul the
treaty. on the ground Of allegatlons 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 q
whether they are TO accept from her the announce
ment that by her own act without any consent from
them, she has released herself from solemn cove

ernment have received that communication with
deep regret, because 1t opens discussion which
