England Greatly Excited

LoNpoN, July 29.-Tho galleries and
Hobbies ofthe House of Lords we're crowd
ed tonight with spectators to hears state
ment OF the Governments position in the
present war. Lord Granville said that
the Government was embarrassed by Ok
plosive material lying around, with match
es ready lighted, efforts to eXtinguish
which have been useless, though Lord Ivy
Gus had been able to hold back the deola-
ration of war five days. Tue incident at
Ems between Benedict and even the King
of Prussia was remarkable, but no insult
was intended. All observance of the Pa
ris protocol which provides for the settle
ment Of disputes by mediation, was ropu-
dated by both parties. In the presence
of this war England had but one duty, and
hat was to observe neutrality. Malmos-
bury aud Russell approved the attitude
and action Of the government. The war
was wholly needless and ineXcusable.
Parliament would certainly sustain the
government i'll its policy of neutrality and
avoid an opportunity for intervention.

other hand, while condemning France for
breaking the peace, closes her eyes to the
