LONDON, Jan. 26.-Ans Wering q pro-
lOuged explanation from CarnoVRn,
who had resigned, the Earl OF Beacons-
field said that after Lord CarnOVAD's
speech, one was al q loss to understand
why be resigned. He reminded his
hearers that the Government, when
laying down British interests, had de-
clared tina, the occupation OF Constau-
tinople would not be regarded with in
difference, and England desired a main
tenance Of the existing treaty regula-
lions as 10 the straits. In ordering the
fleet 10 the Dardenelles In certain con-
tingencies, the Government desired
simply TO guard their interests. Unless
they acted up 10 II, then the dispatch
defining England's interest might be
regarded merely as words. He be-
lieved If the conditions Of their neutral
ity were violated with respect TO any
OF the foreign ports, all his colleagues
were resolved 10 do their best, as their
duty TO their country and their Sow.
ereign required them to maintain the
policy they had laid down. II those
who said the Government had taken
needless precaution In stipulating the
exclusion OF Egypt from the theater OF
war, heard ell the wild aud perilouS
propositions that the Government had
heard, they would be Of different opin-
ion. The Cabinet never hesitated or
differed regarding the adhesion to the
policy Of conditional neutrality, oil.
though the method Of carrying the
policy into effect was Of course q ques-
ton open to discussion. The Govern
ment should, ct the proper moment, be
perfectly prepared to vindicate the
measures which they had taken. He
believed these measures were likely Ia
have q most salutary effect. He must
tell the House frankly that these meas
ures were part Of consistent policy
that the Government had resolved Il
} pursue aud which they originally an
nounced-namely, to observe neutral
fly, but If that neutrality we're TO de-
pend on their allowing their greatest
. interest not to be defended, he would
say he was no longer In favor Of neu.
trality, but of the interest Of his country
and the honor of his Sovereign"
Earl Granville asked whether an ar
misliCe had been concluded and wha
. lie terms were.
