QUEENS SPEECH.
Ny Lords and Gentlemen: It
is with much satisfaction that |
sgain resort 70 the advice and
assistance of my Parliament. My
relations with oil powers continue
friendly. The course of events since the
propagation Of Parliament has tended. 10

tenance of European peace on the prlncl-
plies laid down by the treaty Of Berlin.
Much, however, still remains to be done

march upon Cabul and in the advance
upon other lines of action, reflects the
highest credit upon the officers and men
of my British and native forces, whose
bravery has shone with wonted lustre in
every collision with the enemy. The |
abdication of the Ameer and the unset

recall Of my troops impossible for The |
present, but the principle on which my
government has hitherto acted remains |
and while determined to |
