Speech OF DisraeIi at AyIesbnry.

LONDON, September 20.-The Earl OF
Baconsfeld. late NJ. Disrseli, made a
speech in Aylesbury to-day. He said
that early in the year. because OF failing
strength, ne informed the Queen that she
must not count on his services after the
conclusion of Parliament. He then con-
templated losing his political career but
had remained Premier at the unanimous
wish of the Queen and his colleagues. He
believed there
Never was an English Government
which had more difficult affairs to deal
with than the present at this moment.
Under ordinary circumstances, whatever
were the external difficulties of the Brit
ish foreign minister, he would have the
consolation of knowing that be was
backed by the country; but it would be
atiectation 10 pretend that such at the
present time WAS the position of Her
Maiesty's government. URhappily
a great portion of the peo-
pie have arrived at conclusions
which the government think will, II
carried into effect, be injurious to the IN
terests of England and fatal to any chance
of the maintenance of European peace.
Lord Baconsfeld whilst praising even
impolitic enthusiasm MS elevating the
country, proceeded to
Stigmatize as Worse
than Bulgarian atrocities the conduct OF
any man who would avail himself OF
popular enthusiasm for the attainment OF
his individual ends by Il course which ho
may know 10 be injurious to the interests
of his country and the welfare
Of mankind. lie continued,
will relate what, even at the latest mo
ment, is the prospect Of maintaining
peace, and what | think not Of inferior
Importance 10 the vital interests Of Eng
land He proceeded TO review the course
of the Eastern question. Alter the re-
fusal to agree TO the Berlin memoran-
dunn, the British government commun'.
Gated freely and frankly with the other
powers. Lord Derby lost no time IN
Laying DOwn Principles
on which he thought tranquility might
be restored. These communications were
taking place constantly, and there never
was n more monstr0us assertion than that,
during this time the government was
carrying on a sort Of a
War with Russia.
We received on the whole from the other
powers cordial attempt to cooperate
with US in every way, but from no power
did we receive that assistance so cordially
and completely as from Russia. / think
that in the spring OF the present year
the negotiations might have resulted in
peace, on principles which would have
been approved by every good man, but
unexpectedly Servlan, that is TO say Sc.
cret, societies Of Europe acting through
Servia,
Declared War ON Turkey.
In conducting the government of the
world there is not only soverelgns, but
secret societies 10 be considered, which
have agents everywhere-reckless agents,
who countenance assassination and pro.
duce a massacre. War between Servla
and the Porte having commenced,
1t was quite impossible TO car
ry out ideas which we sug.
gested. The Servian war u wicked
and outrageous. Servia in its relations
with the Porte, has violated every prin-
ciple Of honor and morality. He closed
by saying that the next step for
the British Government is 10
70 revert exactly ~ the position which
1t occupied before the Servian war be-
gun, namely, ~ attempt with
Concurrence Of Europeaa Powers
20 settle the relations between the Porte
and the Christians, and nameds sthe basis
LAID down by Lord Derby. l believe all
great powers sincerely desire TO come TO
a conclusion on the subject. Is it the
desire of any sensible man that instead OF
such n course we should Pusue wild plans
Tor driving Turks from Europe, which
every European Government IL aware
would, if attempted, lead TO European
