EnSland's Imperfect Neutrality.
LONDON, Augusta.
The disappointment at Mr.. Gladstone's fall
ure to make positive declaration to protect
Belgium on Monday night, seems to be for
more general and even indignant than before
described. Throughout his speech the House
had an air of painful waiting, changing at Its
close to one of unsatshed expectation.
Lord Granville said that at some future time
he might be more specific, he gould not be
more ineligible, and even Lord Russell pro-
fessed himself satisfied.
Recurring to Mondays debate, the Times
says: .Armed neutrality in conjunction with
another great military power, cannot but have
a menacing significance, but Dlsraell only gave
utterance to the liberal feeling far better than
Glsdstone's, and was heartily approved in both
houses. The statement he drew from Gran
vile, though not explicit, was significant of a
more decided policy than before announced.
Still it does not meet the view of strong par
ty which insists that the only way for England
to keep out of war is by frank assertion of
her readiness to 60 into 1t when necessary"
Influential Liberals have already represented
to the government the danger of deserving
the same reproach from Prussia as from the
Ualted States, and urging that some decided
step be taken, or some clear declaration made
both as to Belgium and as to the operation of
the neutrality act. The discussion on coal will
not satisfy Prussia. Russells speech tonight
against France represented the prevailing SEN
timent In Parliament and out, when he insisted
on our neutrality being in condition to make
itself respected.
The new Foreign Enlistment bill, which was
read the second time In the House OF Com
mons on Monday, forbids the enlistment Of
British anywhere, or aliens in the Kingdom.
The building of ships is criminal equally with
the fitting out and equlpping of them, and the
Secretary Of State may issue warrants to seize
them and Courts Of Admiralty condemn them.
they escape, then the prizes are brought
here or restored to their owners.
Liberals and conservatives complain bitterly
that The government fails to comprehend the
determination of the people, and. that Glad
stones economical and sentimental shrinking
from war threatens to precipitate England into
the very conflict he seeks to avert.
The complaints of the German press on Eng
lands irresolute policy and imperfect neutral
ity, are felt to be just.
Journals friendly to the government are So
licitous that England shall do her whole duty,
press Lord Granvilles words beyond their
literal sense, and insist they mean all the
country wants them to mean. The Daily News
of tomorrow calls his response prompt and
satisfactory, adding that bis language was not
as unreserved as Ryssells, but 1t was as clear
and unmistakable.
EnRland's Defences in n Bad Condition.
The Times also publishes letters expressing
alarm at the condition Of England's defences,
which are represented to be in deplorable
state of unpreparedness. The correspondents
also declare the inadequacy of England's
cavalry and artillery to take the field to COM
pete with any formidable enemy. The writers
further complain Of the imperfect condition of
the army transports for the conveyance OF
troops, and say that only $4,000 men are avail
able In the whole United Kingdom to garrison
the entire defences Of England, and afford
protection to the coast.
Belgium the Victim.
Bernal Osborne, the member for Waterford,
made speech in Parliament last evening,
declaring that it was immaterial which OF the
contending parties was the Faust or Mephis-
tophiles Of the treaty, Belgium was the victim.
He urged the government to declare the in
