ENGLISH PARLIAMENT--REsIaNa OF
LORD DERBY.
LONDON, March 2S.-The House Of
Lords was very crowded this afternoon
Many members of the Lower House we're
present. Lord Derby entered soon after
Eve o'clock and took seat below the
gangway instead Of on the Treasury
bench He rose almost Immediately, and
announced his resignation IS Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs, which he said had been
accepted by the Queen, and he only con,
tinued to hold the Office until the ap.
pointment of his successor. He regret
ted that under the circumstances It would
not be justifable to follow the customary
course of explaining in detail the differ
ences which led him to resign. The Cab.
met had arrived at certain conclusions OF
a grave and important character, in which
he was not able to concur. To prevent
needless alarm, he would say that be did
not consider those measures as necessari-
ly tending to bring about war. He gave
the Cabinet credit for sincerely desiring
European peace, but should not regard
the measures which have been resolved
on as prudent in the interest OF peace, sor
necessary for the safety Of the country.
When the concurrence OF Parliament is
asked for measures of which he had spo-
ken, he would vindicate his opinions, He
would state, however, that he did not
dissent from the Cabinets view of the
conditions upon which Europe might GO
into the Congress He lamented the OBJ.
stacles to the meeting Of the Congress,
but said the fault did not rest with this
country.
Lord Beaconsield said he would will
ingly refrain from noticing the reasons
which Influenced Lord Derby to resign
until the period when those reasons
might be legitimately considered by the
House. So much mischief might occur
from unnecessary mystery thatit was bis
duty to say that, in consequence of the
belief Of the government that the con.
| gress would not be held. and that the
hopes fof rectifying the disturbed balance
of power In the Mediterranean had ceas'
ed, it was the duty Of the ministers to
consider what steps should be taken to
prevent the impending mischief. They
had therefore advised Her Majesty to
avail herself of the services OF her re-
serve forces, and message to that efec
would be laid before Parliament He had
! felt Of late that the political ties between
Lord Derby and himself must soon ter
inmate, but he had believed that it woulG
be in very different and more natura
manner, namely, that be Beaconsfeid
would disappear from the scene. whil'
Lord Derby would remain to take tht
leading part in public affairs. He wat
sustained at the present moment by tht
confidence that the policy Of the govern
ment recommended to Her Msjest,
ty would tend to the maintenance ot, her
empire, the freedom of Europe and th'
greatness and security ofthe country
