INDICTNINT AGAINST TUC TIeEIMMITIT.

I hold before.. I have held in the Blase ui Commons.
that the faith and honour of the country have been gravely
compromised by the foreign policy of the Ministry; that
by the disturbance of confidence, and lately even of pence.
which they have brought about, they have prolonged and
aggravated the public distress; that they have *laments I
tna power and influence of the Russian Eoip:ro even
while estranging the feelings of the population ; that they
have embarked the Crown and people in an unjust war (the
hi than war), full of mischief. if not of poaltive danger.
to India; and that by their use of the treaty-making and
war-making powers of the Crown they have abridged the
just rights of Parliament, and have presented prerogatives
to the nation under the unconstitutional aspect which
tends to make it insecure. On the assertion that the
liberals offered a factious opposition, MI. Gladstone mid
the Esstern Question began in 1875, aiid down to the year
1576 there wee not one word of hostile comment from the
Liberal party. How was it faction in the Liberal party to
remain silent during all these act., to extend their con-
fidence to the Government in the affair of the Turkish
even when that Government was acting in con-
tradiction to the whole apirit of civilized mankind—
certainly in contradiction to the united proposal of the
five Great Powers of the continent It was far more
difficult to justify the Liberal party upon the other side.
Why did they allow the East to be thrown into cant cutout
Why did they allow the concert of Europe to be broken
up I Why did they allow the Berlin Memorandum to be
thrown behind the fire and no other measure put in Its
place! Why did they allow that fatal progress of events
to advance unchecked so far, even alter toe fields of
Bulgaria ha 4 flowed with blood, and horrors—known and
unknown—had ascended to heaven from that country!
There was an outburst—an involuntary outburst, for the
strain could no longer be busno—from tho po..ple of this
country, in every part of the country, denouncing those
massacres. But that wise not the action of the Liberal
party. It was admitted by the Government themselves
to be the expression of the country—inisle LW they said,
but still the exprossion of the country. It was alleged
against the Liberals that they were governed by a factious
spirit -an ungovernable desire to got into allow, but men
must be men of very extraordinary tastes to take inch •
succession as will bi left by the previa Government
IL inghter and chen-st He hopeA the: the verdict ot the

FINANCE,

Mr. Walston, roinudeti toein that the C nivreative*

that they I. f them three millions of the Alabama award
to pay, • payment which the liberals ought to have male,
but which wag made out of the surplus handed OM to
them. The only answer tu that wee that the three millions
were p tid by them in the year before thy left office.
The only effect of their surplus was that the Terbs, who
had since dune nothin.; etc pt add to the burdens of the
people, were able to comitienca their career with a large
remisaion of taxation.
