English Parliament.
LONDON, February 25.-In the House
OF Lords, Lord Stratheden Campbell intro
duced motion similar to the one he was
to have offered last Monday evening, but
which, on appeal OF Lord Derby, he did
not bring up, as the government de-
clared It could not then discuss the SUBJ
iact. The motion is in substance that IN
the opinion OF the House the conditions
proposed by Russia to the PJrte are such
ss 10 satisfy Her Msjesty's govern
ment in taking every precsu-
tion to discourage encroachtnents
by which the treaties OF 1856 and 1871
are threstened.
In the course of the debate which fol-
lowed, Lord Derby spoke in decided
terms concerning Russis's demand that
an Egyptian tribute be pledged for the
payment OF Indemnity bonds. he said
it might turn out that British interests
would be very much involved in any
claim for payment Of part of the indem-
nifty from that tribute. lie pointed out
that the occupation OF Armenia would
bring the Russians no nearer TO India.
Her Msje:ty's government, when they
adopted the policy of neutrality, were
aware that Russia must eventually
triumph and very great changes ensue.
1t was unfair 10 blame the government
now, because q state CT things bad arisen
hich WAS the necessary resul! of an stti-
tude of neutrality which the nstion al
the beginning of the war supported
them in taking up. Lord Derby con-
cluied by moving the previous question,
which was agreed to without division.
