LONDON, Nov. N.--The Cabinet council at
Windsor to-day decided to summon Parlia-
ment to meet OH the 9th of January.
In speech to-day at the Liberal demonstra-
ton, Earl Granville, foreign secretary, said:
at is a humiliating and discreditable fact that
in Ireland there is want of security for life
and property. 1t is impossible for this state of
things to continue. The public has right to
expect the government not merely to intro
duce some measure which is likely to cope
with the present emergency, but which will
provide for the future"
John Bright says the Cabinet did not decide
to do any hing definite in Ireland. He favors
maintaining order in Ireland by force, provid-
ed the measure authorizing the use OF force is
accompanied by bill revising the land tenure,
which he can approve. Without such bill be
is unalterably opposed to coercion. He says
the government are all as much opposed TO CO.
ercion as himself, and are devoting their ener-
gies 10 drafting land tenure bill which will
be the most beneticent irish legisl alton ever
brought before ali English Parliament There
will he no half measures about this bill MIR.
Bright promises that it will be a thorough pam
acea for all the ills of Ireland, which it pro-
poses to cure by hxlty of tenure, reasonable
rent, and an officially regulated peasant pro-
pIletary, which shall receive some sort OF State
aid.
LONDON, Nov. % The Observer under
stands that the first battalion of Guard, is Or
dered to Ireland. The Observers leading ar
tcle says, wha5 the Irish malcontents desire
is the repeal of the union. Ii the most ex-
treme proposals of the Land Leaguers were to
he carried into effect popular agitation against
English rule would lose nothing of its inlensi-
ty 1t is well nigh idle to hope that the Irish
disafection ran be removed renedied by
legislation. Our interest and dutv equally
bind us to remove any real grievances, but we
have also got to bring home to the Irish mind
the conviction that the Nationalist de-
mands are inadmssable. Things 10 Ireland
are drifting towards crisis, whose only posi-
Bile outcome is another Fenan rising.
The calamity can only be averted by making
it clear that no amount of agitation will induce
England to yield to pretensionS inconsistent
with the welfare of the realm
LONDON, Nov. %. The battalion of guards
ordered TO Ireland numbers about 500. and
will 90 as reinforcement. 1t contains very
few, if any Irishmen. 1t will leave London
Wednesday.
