Gd.ssle this afternoon has a leading edit.
oriAl on the Eastern question, which con.
cludes a. follows, "English jealousy

ity and not only leave the Government
free to act against Russia, but in certain
contingencies compel them so TO act"
The Tines, in It's financial article, says
that one Of the rumors on the Stock Ex.
change yesterday was that Lord Derby
had Withdrawn from negotiations on the
Eastern question and the Cabinet had
ordered the occupation Of Constantinople
by the British forces, so that there would
be ino conference, but immediate war.
This rumor ia probably the foundation
oi the following statement, which the
FIndncier makes editorially to-day: e
Wa can state, not officially but very
confidently, the course the British Cabi-
net have resolved upon ii Russia invades
Turkey. In such case British army
corps will Immediately occupy Constants.
nople and defend It against all attacks.
Il Is calculated that not more than 25,.
600 troops are needed, and British en-.
gineer officers are already makipga sur
vey for thorough defense Of the Turkish
capital. rI1-. -.a .i ug'
NoTE.-The latter statement probably
grows out OF a Reuter- telegram from Con-
stantinople OF the 14th inst, stating that
several officers Of the corps Of Royal En-.
gineers had arrived in that city. NJ
The Rnaneisr adds that England's OBJ
ject Is not 10 participate in q war between
Turkey and Russia, who may fight out
their quarrel, whether 10 Asia or Europe,
but to protect Constantinople and the Dar-
danelles from seizure by Russia. Eng
land would simply hold Constantinople
In pledge temporarily, on behalf OF tie
other powers and the world at large. As
soon as a neutral State was formed on the
Bosphorus, or such other arrangement
effected as Europe may ultimately deter.
mine upon for the wardenship Of the Dar-
dauelles, England wouldlWithdraw. Thus
the ministerial policy Is perfectly clear
and free from future entanglement. It
has distinct object Of vital importance
to the British interests, and beyond that
object the Government will not go.
The foregoing,in all probability, has
no better foundation than the Stock Ex-
change rumors before mentioned which
the Times merely reports without COM
ment, but 1t shows the current Of opinion
here among the supporters Of the Minis.
Try; but there is q strong division In
public sentiment about the course the
Government ought to pursue.
