EUROPEAN PRESS COMMENTS on BEAcoNs-
FIELDS SPEECH.
LONDON, July 20.-The Paris and Vienna
newspapers generally comment favorably
upon Lord Beaconsfeld's statement In expla-
nation of the treaty of Berlin, in the house of
lords, Thursday. The Italian government
and conservative organs continue to attack
England. The Italian Radical papers do not
notice the subject of the English occupation
of Cyprus, but exclusively devote attention to
the Austrian standard. The assertion that
the Italian ambassador to Vienna had been
TO Rome on this object is denied. The am-
bassador went to Paris on leave, his visit be-
ing unconnected with politics.
THE RUSSIAN PRESS DISSATISFIED WITH THE
TREATY.
LONDON, July 20-The Russian unofficial
press is more or less dissatisfied with the
treaty. Before its conclusion, Aksakoff,
Pan-Slavist agitator, made such a violent
speech at Moscow against the Russian con-
cessions in the congress, that he was warned
personal attack on the car. A Berlin letter
says the Slavophile enthusiasts are disap-
pointed. The liberals would have been will
ing that the state of war should continue,
because they hoped out of its results to gain
basis of constitutional liberty, but an i'm
mense majority of the Russian people, the
mercantile community and the wealthy, as
well as the lower masses, are heartily glad of
the return of peace.
PAPAI, AFFAIRS
LONDON, July 20.-A dispatch from Rome
says that instructions have been given for the
preparation of lodgings for the pope at Peru
gia. The French representative at Rome has
been assured by Cardinal Franchi, the pom
ti6cal secretary of state, that the pope's alb
sence from the Vatican will not disturb the
papal relations with France.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 20.-There is rea-
son to believe that pacific settlement will be
effected with Greece.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS CONDITION.
BERLIN, July 20.-The Emperor Williams
condition continues favorable. He took a
carriage drive too day.
GLADSTONE DECLINES THE LEADERSHIP OF
THE LIBERAL PARTY.
LONDON, July 20.-As the anniversary of
the establishment of the Liberal association
in Bermondsey street, London, tonight, Mr..
Gladstone made a long speech, in which he
begged to decline resuming the leadership of
the liberal party. He powerfully attacked
the manner In which the people had lately
been governed. No despotic government in
Europe would have dared to do what this
cabinet had done-acceptinR such RESPONSE
bilties unknown to the people. He criti-
cised the treaty of Berlin, whereby England
consented to replace under the despotic rule
of Russia Bessarabla, which belonged to free
Roumania Russia retains her claim to heavy
indemnity, which she can always make a
pretext for war. At the same time the treaty
desires the integrity and independence of
Turkey. With regard to the convention with
Turkey only one epithet is possible, namely,
that it is an insane covenant, and none of the
great English statesmen of the last forty
years would have signed it. 1t is, to our
shame, a convention of absurdity and du-
plicity; it is odious to every valuable feeling
of the country, and has alienated the friend
ship of foreign powers. England has sold
Bessarabia to Russia, the brave Montenegrins,
cong lests to Austria jealousy and selfish
ness, the Greeks to Turkey, and lastly. Turkey
herself to England. Gladstone concluded by
hoping that the ministry would shortly be
judged by an appeal to the country.
