THE CATAcAzY AFFAIR-PRINcE GoRTscHAKoFF
LOSES HIS TEMPER.
LONDON, Jan. 11.-Advces from ST. Peters,
burg state that Prince Gortschakoffs note to
Minister Curtin was published in the official
Messenger. An unusual course. 1t says that
Catacazy was ordered to come to Russia as soon
as the Grand Duke had departed from the Uni
ted States, and was informed that he would not
be returned to his post.
The Prince regrets that the painful affair did
not terminate with this acquiescence by Russia
in the request of Mr.. Fish, who ought then by
| the rule of courtesy between friendly nations,
to have considered it finally settled. The SUBJ
sequent correspondence shows that neither
sufficient attention nor respect was shown to
the Russian Ambassador while performing his
duties.
I- Mr.. Fish's letters present complaints against
Cataeazy, and thus invite the Imperial Cabinet
to judge his conduct. Many of these complaints
Catacazy has satisfactorily refuted, and on the
others Judgment will be passed when Catacazy
has full liberty to presens his case. The Prince
hopes the justice of this will be sufficiently I'M
derstood. The United States cannot expect
Judgment to be passed on Catacazy before he
renders his version of the unpleasant affair
The tone of the whole note is that of studied
insOlence. 1t is certain that Gortsehakoff has
lost his temper, and is excessively annoyed.
Notwithstanding the expressions of continued
amity, there is a decided GOODNESS in the rela-
tons of the two nations, W
