LONDON, April i.-The text Of Lord
Sslisbury's paper had not reached st.
Petersburg or Vienna yesterday even
ing. but Judgments on telegrBphie
summaries thereof show that its tenor
is very we'll understood at st. Peters
burg. Ii Is regaIded ~ proof that the
congress could not have succeeded il u
had met. in spite of this circular. At
Vienna the effect Is 80 satisfactory Ne
to almost compensate for the failure
OF congress to make negotiations.
Despite the speeches OF Lords Gran
Vile and Harrington TO the deputsiioD
of the National liberal federation a.
Westminster Palace hotel yesterday,
il Is not believed that the opposition
will take any strong line against the
governments policy. Sir. Gladstone
and his followers may endeavOr to
force the party leaders into active an.
tagonism, and independent m-mber-
may Introduce resolutions disrppTav-
ing the calling ont OF the reserve. int
there will he strong counter Iniiuen-
ces, which party leaders are not likely
10 disregard. A moyement has a.
ready received the adhesion Of sixty or
seventy liberal members, having for
It's object to prevent the party from
trammeling the governments foreign
policy.
The Times In leading editorial ar
ticle, strongly condemns the objects OF
the depu.ation, and sharply cfItiCises
the speeches OF Lords GTanvilis and
Harrington. Ii says: "The deputation
themselves are bound To admit that
they did not in all cares represent the
msjorities In the constituencies, and
there are no means of knowing how
far the constituencies share the senti.
ments expressed. If the government
views are faliacious, IL il the duty oi
the opposition To endeavor 10 restrain
the government, and enllshten the
country. If no such stteInp; is made,
or IL 1t fails, 1t can only be concluded
that the deliberate Judgment Of the
country Is In favor OF tie general
policy OF the government Lord
Granville Is hardly fair, therefore, in
assigning to the government the un.
divided responsibility in such n crisis
Ii cannot be too often reiterated that
| We only ask Russia to enter into the
congress without reserve, and liste II
before she asks any final decision To
what the other powers may have to
say respesting the preliminary treaty
she has made with Turkey. A more
moderate request could hardly be
made, aud TO designate il, as Was done
yesterday oy the deputstion, as war
like policy, is unjust and misleading -
A Berlin dispatch says: TIE Ger
man iron~clad fleet will proceed TO the
Ess, beginning In May.
The Manchester Guardian, a liberal
Journal, strongly condemns tue sort OF
pressure this deputation Intended tc
put on liberal leaders, as well as theIr
assumption that the government
policy Is wArlike. The ministers, Il
says, are not to be held Responsible, II
peace IL threatened or broken, becsu-.
they oppose aims which, though un
svowed and iilegitimste, are clearly
within the scope OF the Russian policy
In the house Of commons THE eve
Mug, Mr.. Gladstone asked, fret, IL II
was the intention OF the government
In recent communications regarding
the congress, to reserve to Itself Ih'
liberty to Withdraw from the cougres,
upon proposal to d;scuss any matter
the discussion Of which IL di. not thinl
admissible, and secondly. Why Eng
land refused preliminary conference
Sir Stafford Northeote. chancellor a
the Exehequer, replied, firstly, al
England wanted at the congTess va
the discussion Of every article az tn
treaty, and secondly, that I.oid Derby
dispatch gave the reason for drciiuin,
the preliminary conference. Mi
Gladstone thereupon gave notice d
, would raise the discussion ta.norro~
because Of Sir Stsfford's uns.tisfzrieI,
