DERBY's REPLY TO PRINCE GORTSCHAKoFF's
CIRCULAR COUNT Won MoLTKE'S CoNFIDEN-
TAI, ADDRESS TO TIE GERMAN STAFF.
LONDON, May 7-12:3O Z. M.-Business
on the Stock Exchange is fiat. Consols
opened at 90, and were subsequently. bet
ter Lord Derby's reply to Prince Gortscha-
koff's circular had Il bad effect. The Paris
Bourse ia also fat, and rentcs arc quoted at
about 102 francs, partly on account vi the
British news and partly in consequence OF
4 sensational article in the Figaro yes
terday purporting to be confidential
address of Count Won Moltkc to the
German staff explaining the necessity
for his recent speech in the Reichstag, saying
it was intended as cold shower for France.
France is peaceful now because she knows
that she is not able to fight Germany, but il
she had fair chance her bitter hatred
against Germany would inevitably break
forth. Such chance would be an alliance
which she now has prospect OF ctlccting
with Austria. The latter has never forgot
ten Sadowa, and Russia is now, Us in 1870,
able to enforce her neutrality.
Count Won Moltkc said it might be neccs-
sary for Germany, in the event OF such an
alliance, to act with the like swiitncss OF
the former campaign. The officers would
shortly receive detailed instructions for
measures to be taken with view to the
complications which the Count hoped might
not arise, but which he deemed it his duty
to provide against. Until such instructions
were received the staff would continue to
he guarded by the instructions OF 1876.
The Figaro says In the course OF his
address Count Won Moltkc drew mastery
parallel on the French German armies, and
incidentally remarked that the Russians
will need all their resources to overcome
tie Turks. Though unquestionably the
foregoing is having an effect on the Paris
Boursc, it seems ridiculous after Count Won
Moltke's public utterances; and the Figaro
is VIGOROUSLY INSCRIPTIONS sensation
mOngcr.
MIR. GIADsToSE's RESOLUTIONS, AGAIN.
LONDON, May In the House OF Com
mons to-day, during preliminary discus
sion as to whether the House should sus-
pend the ordinary business SO As to permit
Mr.. Gladstone to move his resolutions, Mr..
Gladstone explained that he had given the
notice Of the resolutions in response TO re-
heated challenges from the Ministers and in
order that the opposition should declare its
views in the House. lie had never pro
posed removal of the Ministry, but had
asserted the necessity OF modification OF
their policy. He desired no party advaE-
taee, but he wanted to relieve his country
| from most serious risk and dishoHor ana
guilt. He would be the basc>t OF men II,
| believing that danger existed, he dld not
cndeavor to avert it. After the House had
agreed to suspend the ordinary business, Mr.:
| Gladstone. in moving his first resolution, said
Il tn
| Government, because he did not see what
public interest would be thereby promoted
| lie did not refrain because he believed them
censurable, but because lie knew no clap-
ter in the history of the last sixty years OF
our foreign policy so deplorable as that OF
the last eighteen months. He repeated
his former accusations as 10 Sir Henry
Eliott's encouragement OF the Turks
during the conference. The conference
became farce from the moment Tur-
kew was informed that England would
not enforce any decision that might be ar
rived at. There was power behind Lord
Salisbury which determined he should not
succeed; and when the Porte was informed
of the fact it drew from the Grand Vizier
expressions OF gratitude to Lord Beacons-
! field. Mr.. Layard's mission was another
mistake, because Layard is Il partisan OF
| Turkey.
TNoie.-Gladstone' motion has been so
modified and amended as to make Its adop-
ton OF little consequence

! TIoNS-THE. TINES on THE SITUATION.

| The Times, in its financial article abiding
to Saturdays depression, says: a tendency
| to panic peryades the city on all sides in
consequence of distrust OF the Govern
ment's intentions. 1t may pass away, but
there is danger that any bad news now
would develop it.
The Times, in leading article. says: We
think Russia's assumption OF the concur
renee of Europe in her action made for
NAL protest imperative. Earl Derby's dis
patch makes this protest with effect and
dignity. Our hands, at all events, are free.
