ENGLAND.
The following, from the Manchester Guard
an, liberal Journal, expresses the views Of
the most conservative element in the liberia
party: "Tbe view of the case on which alone
the attitude OF the Englsh Government has
hitherto been approved is that tho Turks arc
consciously reduced to the last extremity, and
that tho reluctance OF Russia to show hel
hand lailIy forms the only remaining obstacle
to tho termination Of hosilities and the en-
trance Of diplomacy upon tho scene. If thi!
infere1c, BE- unjust, it should be in the power
of the Government ct St. Petersburg to cor
rect it by q simple statement OF the dlthculte!
which it finds put 10 the way Of preliminary
settlement. Whether it be we'll founded Oh
not is, however, point which the Eogllsl
Government should, above all others, clear up
for 90 this point depends their claim to a sup
port which, if the Russian terms DO wilfuy
withheld or obscured, cannot be safely or con
sstenty refused to them
The debate upon the Governments motion
for supplementary vote was resumed in the
House Of Commons yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. George Otto Trevelyau, liberal, strongly
supported Mr.. Forster's amendment
Sir Robert Peel spoke in reply to MIR. TrcV
alyau.
MIR. Robert Low followed. He denied thai
vote was necessary to strengthen tho hands Of
the Government. The whole object 10 calling
Parliament together had been carefully con
| isolatedthe country, deprived it Of the power
to use its legitimate influence. and resortcd to
| the expedient of money vote to bolster up
their Influence and authority.
Mr.. Bourke, Under Secretary for the For
eign Department, said if be were TO speak with.
out reserve. he was sure there would not be
| O single opponent to the vote. Nobody could
look at the map of Europe without recogniz
ing that there was much truth 10 L1yaris as
sertiou that the Russian terms amounted to
the destruction OF Turkeys empire 10 Europe.
1t was obvious that this involved problems of
| the greatest magnitude. 1t rested With tho
decision Of the House whether lasting peace
should be secured, or ono made which would
be productive Of future wars. The Govern
ment asked fer the vote not as war measure,
but to enable them to exert the influence Of the
country, not only 90 behalf Of Eogland, but OF
all Europe.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach trusted that the
great liberal party would not be led to paralyzc
the arm of England at the time when it was
| more than ever necessary that it should be
ready to maintain the honor and Interests of
England and freedom of Europe.
