DIVIDED ENGLISH CABINET.
The main feature OF the week has been the Glad.
stone debate. The real story Of this discussion is
aot generally known. There have all along been
two parties in the Cabinet. Lord Beaconsdeld Is
decidedly Turkish in his sympathies, while
Lords Salisbury and Carnavon and Mr.
Cross are Russophiles. 1t was the ambi
ton of Beaconscld to crown his Ministerial
career with all the eclat OF great war, like wal
pole, Pitt and Pamerston. He had resolved upon
active Intervention. orders were given for the
organization of an army Of So 900 men under Napier
Of Magdala, with instructions to occupy the shores
OF the Bosphorus opposite Constantinope. 1t was
understood that Russia would regard such action
on Engand's part as a casus oeli. This
policy Of the Earl Premier strong party in
The Cabinet violently opposed. The press
divided The Dauy Telegraph and Pan MAJ Ga
Times opposed. Mr.. Carlyle, learning Of the reso-
luton, wrote his remarkable letter. Mr. Gladstone
followed with his resolutions This move brought
division among the liberals. John Bright
on the ground OF his conscientious scruples The
Marquis Of Harrington, on the other hand
leaned toward the Beaconsneld policy. The agta-
ton soon spread over the country and assumed
remarkable proportions In the same way as the
Bulgarian horrors agitation Of last autumn took
hold OF the people The effect was to completely
demoralize the liberals The Marquis of Harrington
resigned the leadership OF the opposition,
withdrew his resignation, resigned again,
and when, through the Intervention OF Earl
Granville, Mr.. Gladstone amended his resolution,
Harrington agreed to continue at the head OF his
party. The effect of this general shaking up was
that Lord Beaconsfeld was forced to agree to pol
Icy or neutrality, which MI. Cross declared in his
speech of few nights ago. The Marquis of Sails
bury, the leader of the peace party in the Cabinet
threatened to retire in the event OF the English
contingent going to the Bosphorus, and it is now
understood that the danger OF war. so far as Eng.
land Is concerned is at an end. 1t is believed how
ever that the liberal party has received fatal
wound, and that tho Marquis OF Harrington will re-
tire at an early day in favor OF Mr.. Forster.
