MIR. GLADSTOYES PAMPHLET

We have received an early copy of Mr.. Gladstones
pamphletentitled Bulgarian Horrors and the Ques-
ton of the East" which published on the 9th
inst In the present aroused and excited temper OF
the English mind il cannot fail to produce power
full effect 1t is an unusually bold, and even fierce
arraignnent of the Disraei Government for its
whole course In regard to the Eastern question.
Within the compass of Ga pages, Mr. Gladstone mas
compressed very thorough review OF the subject IN
its political bearings dealing with its most delicate
aspects in spirit of great frankness He begins by
describing how the present situation has been
brought about--a situation which he characterlzes
as one which compels the English nation ITO choose
between leaving its most sseredduties unperformed'
aud taking the performance OF them primarily INTO
its own bands" He then says:

Mr.. Gladstone thus describes the course of Turkey
since the CTimean war;
Twenty years ago France and England determined 10

We have not space to quote his examination OF tic
course Of the English Government, after the urst
news of the horrors in Bulgaria became generally
known. Most of the particulars have already been
given here from time TO time, as they appeared IN
the English papers. Mr.. GladstOnes allusion to Mr.
Eugene Scbnyler's report is a graceful recognition
of the services of our own Government in causing
the truth to be revealed TO the world:

Mr.. Gladstone denounces in the strongest terms
the sending of the English feet TO Besika Bay, on
the ground that il gave direct encouragement and
moral support Turkey: he contTadicts Lord Derby
pOint-blank in declaring that the Bulgarian out
RACES were continued for some time after the arrival
of the feet; and he prOnOunces the diplomatic dis
cord with Russia latter the Berlin Conference a
crave bunder. His language on the latter point is
so remarkably frank and emphatic that we must
quote it,:

our Government, game Of extreme ndlsCreton Pre-
most maladroitly aud ost assluOusy played into her

epce dictates Russia, for the present epoch, what
