According to the news received from
Berlin. Prince Gortchakoff addressed him
self first to the English Ambassador, in
communicating the resolutions which had
been formed at the Conference with respect
to the Eastern Question, and asked 0lm
if he thought he could accept them. The
English Ambassador replied thas be could
not do so without instructions from his
Government. Prince Gortchakoff said that
he had concluded, from letters he had To-
ceived from Lord Derby, that the English
representative was armed with sufficient
power to express his views. On receiving
a reiofader in the negative, the Prince
accepted compliance all referendum. The
representatives of France and Italy then
adopted the sam course, and all three
gave their adherence under the condition
stipulated by Lord Odo Russell.
France and Italy have officially notified
their adhesion to the stipuIations made
in Berlin.

On May 5 Mr.. Charley brought on a mo-
tion in the English House of Commons in
reference to the conduct of Governor
Hennessy but at this stageo of the proceed
ings the motion was generally regarded as
premature. In discussing this point, the
Daily Ncws says -" No good that we can
see could possibly have come of Mr.. Char
ley's attempt 10 force a premature discus
sion on the conduct ofGoyerDor Heuncssy,
and we cannot believe that there was
much excuse for the honorable members
occupying the time of the House Of Com
mons with the subject last night. It is
out OF the question that the House could
arrive at any decision Just noW as To
Mr.. Henressy's policy and proceedings, or
even adequately review the course otreeeHc
events il Barbad0s.' The STANDARD also
deprecates Mr.. Charloy's action in this
matter, aud says ;-' It may turn out that
Mr. Hennessy has been guilty Of all the
charges brought against him. But Oh the
other hand, it may be shown that he is
entirely innocent of them. We wish to
give no opinion either way. But we sub
nit that Mr.. Hennessy is, at least, entitled
to fair play, and fair play he certainly did
not receive at the hands of the honorable
member for Stafford. Mr.. Charley accuses
Governor Hennessy Of having disregarded
the instructions of the Secretary Of State
for the Colonies, of having attempted to
force confederation upon an unwilling
colony, of having stirred up the ignorant
passions of an excitable mob, of having
packed the hall of the Legislative Council
with roughs to intimjdate the members,
and, in a word, of acting in a most I'M
constitutional, high-handed, and improper
manner" Replying to the structures of
the Standard Mr. CborInv savrS g he had
