England's Policy-Her Troops to Occupy
Constantinople, and Hold 1t Against
Attack.
An editorial in the Pail Nall Gazette con-
cludes: English jealousy and English sus-
piciOn are thoroughly aroused. Any overt
act on the part of Russia in the direction of
her suspected aims, would deepen this sUs.
piciOn into active hostility, snd not only
leave the government. free to act against
Russia, but in certain contingencies compel
it go to act.
The Times to-day, in it's financial column,
says one of the rumors ON the Stock Ex-
change yesterday was that Lord Derby had
withdrawn from tho negotiation on the
Russian question, and the Cabinet had or
dered the occupation of Constantinople bv
the British forces, so that there would be
no cOnfere noe, but immediate war. This
rumor is probably the foundation of the
statement which the Fnamcier makes edi-
torially to-day: "We can state, not official
ly, but very confidently, the course the
British Cabinet have resolved upon if Rus
sia invades Turkey. In such q case q
British army corps will Immediately occupy
Constantinople aud defend it against all at
tacks. 1t is calculated that not moro than
1000 troops are needed, and British engi-
neer otficers are already making 9 survey
for thorough defense of the Turkish cap
ital."
lNOTE.-The latter statement probably
grows out Of Reuter- telegram from Con-
stantinopie on the fourteenth instant. stat.

whether in Asia or Europe, but to protect
Constantinople and the Dardanelles from
seizure by the Russians. England would
simply hold Constantinople in pledge, tenn
porsrily, on behalf of the other powers and
the world at large. As soon as . neutral
State was formed on the Bosphoros, or
may ultimately determine on for the ward

willingly withdraw. Thus, the ministerial
policy is perfectly clear and FREQ

division in public sentiment about the
course the government ought to pursue.

The Times Advocate: Rs:.,s. Cooperation ~'tA
The Times continues to advocate co-Opera-
tion with Russia in enforcing upon the Porto
| satisfactory reforms, and has q powerful
leading editorial on the subject today, in
| which it cites Intervention in Syria in 1860,
and the French occupation of the Lebanon
by the acquiescence of all the treaty powers,
and shows that military interference in
Bulgaria would have an exact precedent,
and that as the Porte yielded to European
control of her internal affairs, then she
would do go in the parallel case now pre-
sented. The organs of the Liberal party
strongly oppose any action in sense hos
tile to Russia. The Standard, Telegraph
and Pail Mall Gazette do not believe that
England can remain neutral.
The Post, while strongly anti Russian dis
posed, believes Russia has abandoned the
idea of demanding or seizing material
guarantees for the execution of reforms, or
| Of insisting upon autonomy in the sense of
infringing on the independence of Turkey.
1t thinks, therefore, that the conference
may arrive at an arrangement satisfying
Russia's legitimate demands, while respect
ing equally the legitimate susceptibilities
and the Independence and sovereign rights
Of the Ottoman empire.
