THE czAR ON THE SITUATION.
LONDON, November 21.-The Foreign
Office publishes dispatch in which Lord |
LOTUS, the British Ambassador 10 Rus
sia, reports in detail what passed at the
audience he had with the Gar on the I'd |
Of November. He reports that the Car
said he had sent the ultimatum 10 the
Porte because he feared the discontinue
Of the Seryian army might be followed by |
atrocities. The Porte had by q
series OF maneuvers frustrated all
attempts at q pacifcation. The present
state Of things was intolerable. Unless
Europe was prepared to act firmly and
energetically, he would be obliged to act
alone. He regretted to see that invet-
crate suspicion and continual fear Of
Russian aggression still existed in Eng
land. The Gar remindad Lord Lotus
that he had on several occasions given
most solemn assurances that he desired
no conquest. He had not the smallest
intention to acquire Constantinople. Such
an acquisition would be unfortunate
for Russia. The following are the exact
words OF that portion Of the dispatch re-
ferring to Constantinople The tCEar
pledged his sacred word OF honor in the
most earnest and solemn manner that he
had no intention Of acquiring CONSTANT.
nople, and that II necessity should force
him to occupy portion OF Bul lgaria it
would only be Professionally until the
peace and safety Of the Christian popula.
ton were secured. The Car could
not understand, when both coun-
tries had common object, namely,
the amelioration OF the condition Of
the Christians, and when ne had given
every proof that he had NO desire for
conquest, why there should not be per.
feet understanding between England and
Russia, based on the policy Of peace,
which would be equally beneficial to
their mutual interests and to the inter.
ests OF Europe generally. The Car said
nothing could be more absurd than the
intentions attributed to Russia Of the fu-
ture conquest of India, which was per-
feet impossibility. he deeply deplored the
distrust manifested in England, and ear.
nestly asked me to do the utmost to dis.
pei 1t, and charged me to convey, to Her
Majesty's Government the solemn assur.
anees he had given me. The dispatch al.
so states that in regard to the rumors
that Servia and Roumania demanded
that they should be erected into indepen.
dent kingdoms, the Car says that there
is no intention Of establishing any such
Kingdoms. Such course would be folly.
The Gar explained that he had per.
mitted tho officers to go to servia pro-
yided they left the Russian service in
the hope Of calming agitation in Russia.
The foregoing dispatch was verified BY
Prince GartschAkoff before It's transmits.
sion to Lord Derby and approved rs
representing the views ep-
pressed by the Gar. Lord Derby
replied instructing Lord LOTUS to
inform the Car and Prince Gortschakotf
that the Queen and her government re-
ceiyed the Cars assurances with the
greatest satisfaction. The Russian gov.
eEnment having requested the publica-
ton Of this correspondence, as it contain.
ed assurances Of nature calculated to
tranquilize public feeling, Lord Derby
informs Lord LOTUS that be granted this
request concerning publication, and re-
