aoRrscHAKorF's CIRCULAR.
St. Petersburg, April ll.-Gort.chakof's
circular to the ambassadors, accompanying
his reply to Lord Salisbury's circular, re-
grets the latter, which, besides criticising the
treaty Of San Stefano, did not say what the
British government desires. He believes
that il Lord Salisbury will make known
their wishes, a better understanding Of the
situation may be reached. Az to congress-
the circular says that Russia can only reit.
crate the declaration that each power, Rus
sia included, would have full liberty Of sp.
probation aud of action. Regarding Bess
arabia, and the two year occupation of Bull
garia, the intimate effects Of Gortschakoh7 8
circular is not reasarine. Il is pointed out
here, that the government cannot accept the
invitation to formulate counter proposals; (;
that the question must be settled by the
powers jointly. In Vienna, where only
telegraphic summary has yet been received,
the most serious deduction is that the hope
heretofore held out from St. Petersburg Of
the revival of the congress negotiations, is
not confirmed BY Gortschakof's circular,
which says nothing about accepting Eng
laads condition for going to the congress.
Without some such concession on the part
Of Russia, no steps can he taken towards
peaceful settlement. Tie suddeness with
which the circular was telesraphed to Lon
don during the debate on the address to the
queen, exci,es remarks. A special edition
Of the Times containing it, was issued about
o'clock Tuesday night. Sir William Yer
non Harcourt and Leonard Henry Courtney,
liberals, distributed the papers in the house
Of commons. The text Of the circular was
specially framed with the view Of inauen-
cling public opinion here, and was hurried
into the hands Of the members Of the Parlia-
ment, IL hope Of edscling . vote on the ad-
dress.
