Parliament Queens Speech.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The following is the
Queens speech:
My Lords and Gentlemen:
It is with much satisfaction that | again re-
sort to the advice and assistance Of my Parlia-
ment. My relations with all powers continue
satisfactory. The course Of events since the
prorogation of Parliament has tended to fur.
nish additional security to the maintenance OF
our open peace on the principles laid down by
the treaty of Berlin Much, however, still
remains to be done TO repair the disorder
which the late war has afflicted on many parts
Of the Turkish empire.
| A Convention for the suppression Of the
slave trade has been concluded between my
government and that Of his Imperial majesty,
the Sultan.
AT the close of your last session, expressed
the hope that the treaty Of Gundamuk had
happily termiminated the war in Afghanis'
tan; in conformity with its provisions, my
| enemy with his retinue was h0norably re-
ceived and entertained by the Ameer a
Cabul. While engaged, however in the ex
ercise Of their duty, he and those connected
with the embassy were ireacherOusly attacked
by overwhelming numbers and after hero
ic defense they we're almost all massacred
An outrage so intolerable called for condigT
chastisement, and my troops, which. pursuaD
TO stipulations, either had withdrawn o
were Withdrawing from the territory govern
ed by the Ameer were ordered TO retrace tbei
steps. The skill exhibited in the rapid marc
upon Cabul, and in the advances upon othe
lines Of action, reflect the high st credit upof
the officers and men Of my British and nativ
forces, whose bravery has shown with wante
lustre in every engagement with the enemy.
The abdication of the Ameer and the unse
tied condition of the country rendered th
road Of my troops impossible for the present
but the principle on which my governmental ha
hitherto acted, remains unchanged; and Will
; determined to make the frontiers Of my II
dian empire strong, l desire 10 be in friendl
relations alike with those who may rule
Afghanstan, and with the people Of that coul
: try. My anticipation as TO the early estal
lisbmeat of peace in South Africa, have bee
fulfilled. The captured position Of the Zul
King and the breaking up Of my military o
ganEation on which bis dynasty was bast
upon, have relieved my possessions in thl
. part Of the world frsm the danger which ser
ousiy impeded their advancement and eoDsi
4 eration.
