THE DEBATE ON HART1NGToS's RESOLUTION.
LONDON, July 30.-The debate in the
House of Commons on Lord Hartington's
resolution was resumed to-day by Lord
Sandon CONSERVATIVE, who defended the
Government policy.
Mr.. Gladstone followed Lord Sandon.
Mr.. Gladstone began by reading letter
which he had addressed to Lord Beaconsfeld
asking him to cite instances in support OF
the accusation OF uni ustitiable and reckless
attacks. He declared he never attacked the
Government without deep sense Of re-
sponsibility. He never assigned any dis
honorable motives to The Premier, his at
tacks upon whose policy were based upon
irreconcilable and fundamental differences
of opinion and feeling. He made long
review Of the results OF the congress. He
regretted the selfish jealousy OF some OF
the Powers in regard to Greece. With Ser
via and Montenegro independent and Her.
zegovna irrevocably annexed to Austria, it
was impossible to deny that the partition OF
Turkey, il not rs complete, was great as
that OF Poland. He desired the elevation
Of the native races instead OF the superces-
sion OF Turkey by another Power, and
complained Of the Governments policy
from first to last. He said they must feel
some shame when they looked upon the re-
suits obtained. and what might have been

selves from Russia. two years ago. They
had left Russia the finest possible field
for working against the present ar

throughout the congress had done
their utmost to prop up Turkey and keep
down the subject races. For the first time
in history their attitude was not in accord
ance with free institutions. The assertions
OF Lord Beaconstield relative TO British
efforts in favor Of Greece were not sup
ported by anything in the protocols. The
conclusion OF the AngIo-Russian agreements
was pratjcal condition Of the high-sound-
ing pretentions OF Lord Salisbury's role.
The Government thereby surrendered their
power OF action in the cause OF freedom.
He had been associated with all the greatest
statesmen Of the nineteenth century, and did
not hesitate to say that not one OF them
would have imposed such responsibility
upon the country. He could not regard
such policy rs within the limits of reasona-
BILE craftsmanship. He asked what the
Government would have done il a foreign

extreme which had been avoided by the
greatest statesmen. A new phase of the
Eastern question had been opened by this
startling novelty, which set the laws OF Eu-
rope at naught, was unjust to the other
Powers, OVERRIDE the rights OF Parliament,
and laid new burdens on the people.
MIR. Gladstone spoke two hours and half,
and was greeted with loud cheers as he took
his seat.
