LONDON, March 13.-In the House of
commons yesterday Sir Henry Fawcett,
hember for Hackney, brought forward the
bsolution of which he had given notice,
declaring it was unjust and iniquitons for
England to throw upon India the entire
bst Of the Afghan war. An excited and
Important debate followed Mr.. Fawcett's
emarks in support of his resolution. Mr..
lladstone supported the motion in aspeech
Fhich lacked nothing Of vigor and acrimo-
II. He declared that the Imperial Gov
tnment, having transformed what was
Aerely local difficulty into an Imperial
Tar, it should not shrink from the pecun-
Sry responsibility of defraying Its
,st by tha expedient Of throwing the
|hole expense upon the already over
prdened and impoverished people of In

; the fact that early in this campaign
ord Lytton, the Viceroy Of India,
lad inthnated in his dispatches to the
India Office that in his opinion the entire
lost of the war should be betrayed by In
ia. Mr.. Gladstone went on to draw a
Eraphic picture of the people Of India, al
rays in peril of famine, sometimes perish
ing by tens of thousands for want of food
before the complicate and early machinery
2f the Government could extend the need

Pekin states that the internal peace efthe
Chinese Empire, which was until now be-
lieved to be more firmly assured than ever,
has. been again disturbed by the breaking

trouble is supposed to have been melted by
certain emissaries from the province of
Knangsi, in which so serious rebellion
was suppressed by the government in the
latter part of last year. Throngs of despe-
radoes crowd the streets demanding redress
of grievances, of which the principal is said
to be the Capitalization of power at Pekin.
