MANCHESTER, January 4.-The
Guardians London dispatch says:
The supporters of Lord Beacons-
feld's policy, contend that Earl
Csrnarvon's speech was intended
not to expound but To influence the
Cabinets views. There Is some
justification for this Judgment. 1t
is no secret that Earl Derby's No
yember speech was q surprise to
the Premier and also a source Of in
tense annoyance to him, but 1t is
likewise well known that the Pre-
mier has been giving instructions
to Layard, Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, over the head of the
Foreign Secretary. If Earl Derby
attempted to force the hand of one
section of the Cabinet in Novem-
her, it is equally probable that
Earl Carnarvon may be resorting
to similar expedient now that the
dangers of the situation have be-
come more definite. Such are the
views of those who believe that the
Earl Of Carnarvon's speech ex-
pressed no more than his personal
opinion. l am bound to say they |
are in a minority. Some of Earl
Carnarvon's colleagues may differ
from him on such questions as the
justice and wisdom of the Crimean
War, but they are perfectly unaui-
nous as to the necessity of this |
country having q voice in the final
settlement. Wednesday and |
Thursday the Cabinet are under
stood to have addressed themselves |
to some of the difficulties involved |
In the means for bringing unanim-
lty to successful issue. The terms |
OF peace ara not now unknown to |
them; and, as represented here,
they are much more moderate than
was expected. According to one |
account, which is accepted III wei.
informed quarters the peutralizs-
zion of the DardXnelles is
not even mentioned, but there IL
oession of territory in Bsssarabia
to the old frontier. l suppose the
of Servia aud ROu-
mania, the accession of territory
to Montenegro and the cession of
Batoum and Kars are parts of the
scheme. With the new light thus
thrown upon the situation, it
would not be surprising if our
government advised the Sultan to
make a direct appeal to Russia.
The Times, referring to these
interpretations, says:
There ought to be an end to the
mystery and ambiguity which
have of late shaken every interest
IN the country. The time has more
Than come when the government
should cease, whether at home or
abroad, to have two voices. The
public have no wish to inquire too
into the idiosyneracies
Of individuals or the secrets of
Cabinets, but the serious and vital
interests of the country would be
by any prolongation of
his ambiguity. The public would
Justly resent any fresh encourage
nent to recant. The policy upon
which the country is resolved and
% which the ministry are pledged,
s one recommended not only by
'xpediency but by justice and hon
", and any menace or deviation
rom it cannot longer be endured.u
