In the house of lords this afternoon
Lord Derby read telegram fr m Mr..
Layard, am bass alor nj ConstantinOple,
denying for himself aud Server pasta
the statement made some days ago hy
the Daily News Adrianople CORE
spondent that Server pasha declared
that Turkey had been misled and en-
couraged to fight by promise OF Eng
lish support, particularly by Lord ReaN
consfield and Mr.. Layard.
Lord Derby appealed to Lords Fra
theden and Campbell not to bring on
their motion, that the terms OF the
armis,ice justify the government In
taking every precaution to discourage
encroaohments by which the treaties
OF 1876 and 1871 are unfortunately
threatened. The government, Lord
Derby said. could not discuss the ar>
mistice.
In reply to the question Of Lord
Granville, Lord Derby responded tnat
Admiral Horribly moved the feet to
Mordania bay on account of better an
chorage there and better Geographic
communication with Constantinople,
and that there were no further advices
regarding Russian advances on Con-
stantinople, that information had been
received regarding q possible advance
on Gallipoli, but the government had
not had time 10 consider 1t.
A special to the Times from Pera

to resist the invasion.
