The Black Sen Question.
LONDON, March 1.-THE protocols of the
proceedings on the Black Sea question will be
laid on the table of the House of Commons to-
night. They are signed by the plenipotentiaries
of the seven powers represented Their general
features are of a
ConcII,ntory Tone
on the part of Russia, Willingness on the part of
Turkey to accept a decentralization of the
Black Sea, and Difference of the conference to
the wishes of either power. On January II
Lord Granville was chosen President. Lord
Granville regretted the absence of the plenipo-
tentiary from France, and declared that the
object of the conference was TO examine the
Black Sea question without partsanshlp, and to
discuss with perfect liberty the Russian propo-
Gals for a revision of the treaty of Paris.
Baron Brunnow Made n Statement
| which contaaped no trace of the imperative tone
| of Prince Gortschakoffs circular. Baron Brun-
| now's speech was most conciliatory throughout,
and was responded to in the same spirit by
| Mausouros Pasha. The conference then went to
work on the declaration to the effect that the
| plenipotentiaries recognize it as the essential
| principle of the
| Risht of Nations
that no power can shake off the engagement
of a treaty or modify its stipulations, except
with the consent of the contracting parties.
This friendly understanding was arrived at, and
on March Is the Due de Broglie gave his adhe-
sion to it. A second meeting took place January
"a, when Baron Brunnow stated that changes
had taken place since 1865, and that
| All Treaties Shall be Judged
| by new considerations arising in the interval.
He contended that the treaty of Paris really
perpetuated irritations by wounding the Russian
national sentiment.
The Turkish Ambassador combatted the argu-
ments of the Russian Ambassador, and declared
that Turkey was fully satisfied with the treaty,
but if the other powers thought it right to
admit
The Russian Demand
on that Government, and would give guarantees
equivalent and compatible with the rights and
security of the Ottoman Empire, he was
authorized TO concur. The other plenipoten.
tiaries while recognizing the justice of the
Turkish objections adhered to their former ex
pressien that the Turkish consent must be
rcondition of equivalents. At the third sitting
February Sd, on the treaty four articles were
proposed by Earl Granville. The second article
gave to Turkey the power to introduce ships Of
war of the
powers into the Black Sea only, If compelled
to do so for the security of the Ottoman empire
Monsouros Pasha objected to the phrase non
riyerain as restrictive to Turkey and offensive
to Russia.

instructions as very peremptory. At the sam
