{ In the House of Commons, on the 30th,
Mr.. Gladstone read letter which he had
addressed to Earl Beaconsfield, asking him
to cite instances of % reckless and unjustifi-
able attacks upon the Government F" with
which he had been charged by the latter.
He declared he never attacked the Govern
ment without deep sense of the respon-
sibility, and that he never assigned any dis
honorable motives to the Premier. He then
reviewed at length the results of the Con-
gress. With Servia and Montenegro indie
pendent, Bulgaria practically so, and Bos-
mia and Herzegovina irrevocably annexed
to Austria, it was impossible to deny that the
partition OF Turkey, il not as complete,
was as great as that of Poland. He urged
objections similar to those made by Lord
Harrington to the military situation created
by the Anglo-Turkish convention. He had
been:associated with all the greatest states
men of England for half a century, and he
did not hesitate to say that not one OF them
would have imposed such responsibility on
the country. He could not regard such a
policy as within the limits of reasonable
craftsmanship. The Government had, in
ratifying the convention before Parliament
was made acquainted with it, pushed the
power Of the Crown to an extreme which
had been avoided by the greatest statesmen.
Mr.. Gladstone was greeted with loud cheers
as be took his seat. -.-, ,......., .
