Lord licaconslclds letter to the Duke Of
Marlborough, the Lord-lIcutCnant'oi Ireland,

campaign, which Is IN opposition to Homo
Rule, and the maintenance OF Eugllsh in.

SERIOUS purpose, and 50 have realities behind

tho close OF this loitor must curry all the
weight which belongs 10 the ultoranoos o

hut this ine0hblo blessing cannot

strong expressions, perhaps imprndently
strong, but tho cosntry will not fall 10 be

which must DO assured to have prompted

Premier, they can only be successfully avert
ga BY duo exercise OF English influences.
Tho Times then says Il these great practical
questions aro before Europe IL is matter Of
vital Importance to know whether tho minis
try Of the day has tho confidence of the
country and whether its policy, therefore,
con be rolled upon. This issue has
been raised by the resolution Of
Parliament, and Lord Beaconsled con-
cludcs by expressing thohope that, whatever
may be the consequences to her Majesty's
present advlces Of affairs, that tho country
will return to the Westminster Parliament
mombers not unworthy Of the power Of
England and resolved TO maintain IL upon
any question of foreign policy. The Times
thinks thai the present government may
lnirly count on the support OF public opinion.
The Liberal party during the last few yearshas
made many fatnl errors and is now at crisis
in its career. To adhere obstinately to the
limo which II has followed for the last three
years, would be fatal errors of influence,
but the case would DO different " IL should
frankly accept what has been accomplished
in the past, and give clear pledges to the
country and to Europe, that in tho event Of
It's return TO power, there would be no dis
locating in the foreign policy Of England at
present. The real views of the Liberals are
utterly obscure, but the whole result Of the
coming struggle will depend on the attitude
taken by them within tho next few days,
BEAcoNsFlELD'S LETTER.
Tho following IS the full text OF Lord
Beaconsiled's letter TO the Duke Of Iarl-
borough "No. 10 Downing street lareh
My Lord Duke; Measures re-
speeding tho State Of Ire
land, which Her Majesty's government
have so anxiously considered, and in which
they were so much aided by your advice aud
authority, are now about TO be submitted for
royal assent, and il is at length in the mower
of our ministers to advise the Queen to re-
eur to the sense Of her people. Those arts
of the agtators, which represented that Eng
land, instead Of being generous and
friend, was indifferent to
the dangers and sufIerings of Ire
land, have been defeated by measures
at once liberal and prudent, which Palia-
ment almost unanimously sanctioned. During
six years of the present administration It's inn
of ireland and the conduct Of
our several countrymen Of that Island occu-
pied much of the care of the ministry, and
they may remember with satisfaction that in
this period they have solved one Of the most
difficult problems connected with lis govern
ment and people by establishing
system of public education open to
all classes and all creeds. Nevertheless the
danger in its ultimate results ia scarcely less
disastrous than pestilence or famine, and
which now engages your exeellency's
anxious attention, and distracts that country.
A portion of the population is attempting
to sever the constitutional tie which unites il
to Great Britain, that bond which has
favored the power and prosperity of both.
1t is TO be hoped that all
men of might will resist this destructive
doctrine. The strength OF this nation de-
ponds on the unity Of feeling which should
porvade the United Kingdom and its vide
spread dependencies. The first duty Of an
English minister should be to consolidate the
which renders, irrespective of
the educated as our own in equal
love of liberty and law,.and yet, there are
some who challenge the expediency Of the
character of this realm, and
having attempted and failed to enfecbe our
colonies by their policy Of decomposition,
they may now perhaps recognize in the
of the United Kingdom
q mode which will not only accomplish but
precipitate their purpose. The immediate
dissolution Of Parliament will afford an OPP
to the nation to decide upon
course which will naturally influence its
future fortunes and shape its destiny. Never
in this country has there been an occasion
more critical. The power OF England and
the peace Of Europe will largely depend on tho
verdict of the country. Her Mnjesty's pres
emit ministers have heretofore been able to
secure that peace so necessary to the welfare
Of all civilized countries and so peculiarlyo OF
interest TO our own, but this
neffable blessing cannot be obtained
by the passive y. principle OH
