the House and country atlarge on the fact
that the good sense and moderation of the
powers primarily interested as parties in
the Luxemburg difficulty, had had the eff

Cabinet acted in accordance with constitu-

Members of the house were aware that
England, .and-what was an uncommon oc-
currence, the esremainder of the great pow
erS who were parties to the Luxembourg
and Belgo-Holland treaty of the. year 1889,
had absolutely guaranteedSthe territory of
lLuxemburg to the King of Holland at that
ltime. What the Government had nowsdone
was merely to adopt that guarantee to pres
ept circumstances of the case, and render
lit efficacious in view of, the changes which
had taken place in the Germanie rCenied-
