| to submit TO the Porte for the re stora-
| tion Of peace, and the Pofte's etion
| thereon. .,...... ,.....
While proceeding to act in this media
tion, she thought it right, after inquir-
| ing into the facts, TO denounce TO the
| Porte the excesses committed in Bulga-
ria, and express her reprobation Of
their perpetrators. Her Majesty next
speaks Of the armistice aud conference,
In which she was represented. and said !:
In taking these steps her object has
been throughout TO maintain the peace
of Europe, and bring about q better
government in the disturbed provinces
without Infringing upon the independ-
ence and integrity OF the Ottoman EN-
| pire.
She regrets that the proposals have
not been accepted by the Porte. but the
result of the conference has been to
show the existence OF general agree
rnent among European powers. which
cannot fail to have a material effect
upon the condition and govern ment OF
| Turkey.
She trusts that the armistice when ex-
pired will lead to the conclusion Of an
honorable peace. She has acted In cor
dial co operation with her allies, with
whom. "a with other foreign powers,
her relations continue friendly. Papers
on these subjects will be forthwith laid
before the Parliament.
Her majesty alluded TO her assump-
ton OF the imperial title at Delhi, which
was welcomed with professions Of afleo-
tion. and the famine in India, to arrest
which every resource will be employed.
The remainder OF the speech Is devoted
to colonial and home matters.
