BRITISH HOSTILITY TO RUSSIA.

ANGRY DISCUSSIONS IN THE LONDON PREsS-RUssA
WARNED THAT TIE BRITISH GOVERNMENT MAY
BE FORCED TO GO TO wAR-rHB OCCUPATION OF
CoSsTANTISOPLE PROPOSED.
LONDON, Friday, Nov. IL, 1876.
This afternoon The Pal Mall Gazette has
leading editorial on the Eastern question, which con-
cludes a. fcIows: English jealousy English suspicion.

tina suspicion active hostility, and not only leave
the Government free to act against Russia, but In GER
tain contingencies, compel them SO TO act"
The Times to-day in its financial column says: One OF
the ru'uors Stock Exchange yesterday that
Lord Derby had withdrawn from negotiation on the
Eastern question: the Cabinet had ordered the
patton Of Constantnople by the British forces so that
there would be conference but immediate war; This
rumor is probably foundations OF the following state
ulcnt which The Finaaeer makes edil,riaIly today:
We can state. officially, but very confidently tho
course the British Cabinethaye resolved upoa Russia
nyades Turkey. In such case, British army corps VIII
Immediately occupy Constantinople and efend II against
all attacks calculated that not more than $4,000
troops are needed and British engineer officers are al
ready making q survey for thorough defense OF the
Turkish capital"
The Fia7ncier adds Engands object is not TO par
cipate in a war between Turkey aud Russia-who may
FIGHT out their quarrel whether in Asia or Europebut TO
protect Consantinope and tic Dardaneles from seizure
by Russia. England would simply hold Constantlnople
IN pledge temporarily behalf OF the other Powers and
the world at large. As soon rs neutral state was
formed Oh the Bosphorus such other arrangements
effected as Europe may ultimately determine upon for
the wardenshp Of the Dagdaness, England would VIII
lingy withdraw. Thus the ministerial policy is per-
fecy clear and free from future enhancement IL has

and beyond that object the Government VII not co."
The foregoing all probability has no better founda-
ton than the Stock Exchange rumor before mentioned,

PACIFIC POLICY ADVOCATED.

Russia in enforcing upon the Porte satisfactory reforms,

day In which cites the intervention IL syria In 1850
and the French occupation of the beodnon by acqui-

Interference Bulgaria woul have an exact precedent
and that Turkey yielded 20 European control OF her

now presented.
THE LIBERALS FOR PEACE-THE TORIES FOR WAR.
The organs OF the Liberal party strongly oppose any
aeilun ina a sense hostile 10 Russia. The Standard fefe-
orauh and raj Nal Gazette do not believe that Engl,nd
can remain neutral. The Post, somfomclai organ,
while 9. sngy antRussan, g disposed TO believe that
Russia a. Abandoned the idea of demanding or Selling
material guarantees for the execution Of reforms, or OF
insisting upon autonomy in the OF infringing on the
ndependeuce Turkey It thinks therefore, that the
conference may arrive at an arrangement which viii
satisfy Rnssias legitimate demands while respecting the
equally legitimate susceptibilties, Independence, and
sovereign rights Of the Ottoman Empire.
