LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 10, 1878.
The committee organized TO urge early meet
ing of Parliament in view of war with Afgbanistan,
having asked Lord Beaconsfeld to grant them an
interview, the Premier has written letter to their
Chairman. Lord Lawrence, in reply.
Lord BeacOnsfield says he is nt q loss to perceive
what useful purpose can be served by more ex-
tended expression. through a deputation from the
committee of opinions which Lord Lawrence and
others have so frequently and copiOusly explained
in regard to the assembling of Parliament
Tho Government will, he says, as a matter OF
course be prepared, in the event of the commence
ment of hostilties Ill India. to advise her Majesty
to make such communication to Parliament as the
letter and spirit of the act regulating the relations
of the Crown with India may seem to require
This would seem, he adds, to be a not less salts
factory, and scarcely less constitutional mode of
meeting the occasion than series of memorials and
deputations. The papers relative to India will be
published before the end of the month.
This reply has Occasioned much dissatisfaction.
and indignation meetings are threatened.
Lord Lawrences committee to-day passed reso-
luton regrettng Lord BeacOnsheld's refusal to re-
ceve a deputation, and emphatIcally condemnlng
his apparent determination in the event of war
being declared not TO advise her Majesty to consult
