LONDON, Nov. %, 1876.
1t is very evident that the Russian government
has insisted upon the publication Of the LOTUS
Derby correspondence at this time in order that
the true attitude OF Lord Beaconsheld at the
Mansion House dinner should be clearly understood
in England. After a few hours consideration of
this remarkable publication loses all Importance
regards the actual question of peace or war, and
becomes interesting only as showing the cheap no.
toriety which the Prime Minister hoped to make by
bullying Russia after she had expressly disclaimed
hny intention Of attacking Constantnople. The sit
uatlon will be very clearly understood If cite few
dates. The communication made by the Czar to
Lord Lotus bears the date OF November . The at
titude OF the Czar and the details OF his solemn
Petersburg were known in Downing street exactly
one week before the annual entertainment of the
Ministry at the Lord Mayors table. In fact Lord
Derby had sent his congratulations to the Ambassa
dor and his thanks to the Czar several days before
Fleet street trembled with the tread Of the Lord
Mayors borrowed elephants and his painted Indians
from St. Giles.
THE LORD MAYOR APPLAUDs.
Therefore, with that correspondence carefully
pigeon-holed Lord Beaconshed felt very Of his
ground and sat his champagne glass aside that he
might the better amrse and delight the young men
with the sharp-pointed pencils The Lord Mayors

This was all very well across the street from and
under the shadow Of the Royal Exchange, and the
brokers and messenger boys were proud Of their
Premier the next morning when they read what the
young men with the sharp-pointed pencils had
taken down. This speech was uttered on the night
OF the 9th.
THE czAR DOES NOT APPLAUD.
Strange to say, however, the speech did not read
30 well at Moscow 1t did not seem funny: it did
not sound patriotic. The Cars mind naturally
wandered back to the I'd inst and he was rea-
sonable enough to think that he had been made
use OF by Lord LOTUS and his master.
The Car had no elephants handy nor painted
sepoys, but he extemporzed speech, nevertheless
