BRITISH EXPLANATIONS.

LoNDoS Thursday Aug. g. 1877.
Earl Feversham in the House of Lords and Mr..
Bentinck in the House of Commons, this afternoon
consented at the request of the Government, to re-
srain from calling attention to the Eastern Question,
for which they had notices on the paper The
Governments request is based on tie conviction, as
stated by Sir Stafford NOrthcote, Chancellor of the
Excli%Ger, in the House of Commons, that Discus
sion now would be disadvantageous to the public
service. Mr.. Bour1e, Understanding for the For
elgn Department, in reply to a question, SAID:
There has been no negotiation between England
and Austria regarding the mobilization of Austrian
troops in case ROumania or Seryia participate III
hostilities or the Russians enter Serya. The Gov
ernment knows Of no direct negotiations between
the Car and the Sultan therefore there Is no ground
for protest. | do not know that Austria has COM
municated with Russia or Turkey on the subject"
There has been considerable newspaper gossip
about the supposed facts which Mr.. Bourkes an
swer fasify.
THE PREMIER DEFINES HIS COURSE.
In the House of Lords tonight the Earl Of
Beaconsiield. acknowledging Lord Feyersham's
courtesy in withdrawing his notice relative TO the
Eastern question, said: "When this cruel and
destructive war commenced Her Majesty's Gov
ernment announced that it should adopt a
policy of strict neutrality on condition that
British interests were not imperled. Russia
has returned an answer, which l think L am
authorized in describing as conciliatOry and friendly
TO the communication in which L have defined what
we considered to be our interests. The Government
has no reason to doubt that Russia viii honorably
observe the conditions which the subject of
that correspondence. But whatever be the case, the
maintenance of those conditions Is the pOcy OF the
British Government"

The resolutions were very numerous. Many re-

upon National affairs are as follows:

not a mere confederacy The successful issue of the
Revolutionary War founded the nation. The sue
ccssful issue of the tOr the suppression OF rebel

nation must be maintained for all time against all
foes at any cost

and obligations are National. The property OF the
citizen is taxed for the support OF the National Gov
erumcut HIS services arc demanded, and, II need

sacrificed in its defence. In RETURN IL IL the most
solemn mOmentOus and imperative duty OF the Ma

tutiOnal power, to extend it's protection TO every
citzeu-native and naturallzed, white and cOloIed,
whether menanced by tyranny abroad or by pOlltl-
cal prosecution, now shielded under the heresy OF
States rights at home.
Ihird-LOcal self-gOyerDment IN all matters that
are local must be strictly adhered TO. In 10 com
munity i'm the world has this been more completely
attained than in the town governments common To
