Q ABROAD.
LONDON, April 10.-Continental opinion
! on the result Of the English election is no
D reassuring. The uneasiness Is not con
5 fined to Conservative journals alone, bu
prevails in all the European Capitals.
GLADSTONE AND AUSTRIA.
! Mr.. Gladstone's studied insult to Aus
> tria Is universally condemned as an TN
. statesmanlike and wanton disregard o
courtesy. A few days ago Mr.. Gladston,
was interviewed by trustworthy CORES
pondent Of the Vienna Augemeine Ztisung
, and said, in substance, regarding the Aus
trian incident, that he had been misrepre
| sented. He said that he understood per.
} fectly well the difference between the old
and the present regimes in Austria, but he
hated Metternich, and he added: ~ hate
all that recalls in the slightest his system
Of interference in the affairs OF the people
who are working out their own freedom.
The freed slsyonic races should be per
mitted to build their future without
molestation. Whoever among the
Austrians know the significance Of
the English expression, Hands of,
knows my policy-'Hands off," / repeat
what said about the policy Of Austria. 1
felt It my duty To say am the watchdog
that barks. II q watch dog does his duty,
he gives warning and won't have sand
thrown in his eyes" "But," added Mr..
Gladstone, laughing, ~ am the watch dog
that barks for the honor, love, freedom,
and fatherland Of the Austrian people,
and every free Cabinet Of Austria. At the
same time from other free peoples prop
erty and land hands off, say l. They
talk OF the Austro.Germ alliance aud OF
England's joiningi 1t. Let them talk. We
must know much more about 1t before We
sign q sanguine and light.minded certii-
cate, as / have already said in the Nine.
teenth Century. To what l stated in that
essay the friends and foes Of Russia have
added noticing. The policy there pro-
pounded was ever nv policy.
While Russia postpones the departure
OF General Skobelof in the anticipation Of
some easier solution Of the Asiltic EN-
broglio.
SPAIN WANTS GIBRALTAR.
Spain, imbued with conviction Of the
usual peace-at-any.price policy Of the Lib.
erals, again casts envious eyes at Gibral-
tar. CASTELAR,, speaking before Congress
in the discussion OF railway projected
from Xeras TO Algesfrias, In place Of one
projected along the coast from Cadiz to
the Capes Of Gibraltar, said: "We can
not and will not, renounce our claim to
Gibraltar. Mr.. Gladstone presents him
self before the electors with programme
ceding Gibraltar as he ceded the Ionian
Islands"
FL Diario Espanol, La Epocea, La PdtriG,
several ministerial, and all the Liberal
organs OF Madrid express their satisfaction
with the result OF the elections, which are
believed to close the active policy OF Eng
land abroad. All the Spanish statesmen,
CASTELAR, and Canovas, Liberals aud Con.
servatiyes, regard the fall Of Lord Beacons-
field as fortunate event for the Russian
policy in Asia aud the East.
CONFIRMATION AT cossrAsrrSoPLE.
In the Palace at Constantinople, there
is great excitement. The Consta ntinople
correspondent Of the Tms,, telegraphs as
follows:
tits admitted the elections in England
have produced on all classes here pro-
found impression and at the palace al.
most q panic. Wild speculations are
afoat regarding the consequences OF the
coming change in the British Ministry.
The Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians and
Christians generally have long regarded
Lord Beaconsfield as their most powerful
opponent and rejoice at his fall. The
more sanguine OF them assume that Mr..
Gladstone will Immediately form Cabi-
net and prepare to carry out his famous
bag and baggage policy; that is, to turn
the Turks out Of Europe, bag and bag
gage. The Sultan and his advocates are
thoroughly alarmed. We already see one
practical result OF his fears in the signing
OF the Trade settling the Montenegrin
question.
The Turkish public, as usual, is indiffer-
ent and apathetic. Lord Hartington's
recent declaration that the Liberals would
do all in their power to create European
coalition for compelling Turkey to intro
duce reforms, mas prouuceu mucn com-
ment, and 1t Is said with truth that for
months past the Porte has been uninten-
tionally doing all It could to create such
coalition. Never before has it shown
such an arrogant and defiant attitude to-
ward the Powers, and the consequence
has been that we have at this moment the
extraordinary phenomenon OF all the En-
bassies and Legations working heartily TO-
gether in several important questions, In
Guiding the case Of Colonel Commerofs
assassin. Never since the time OF the
Constantinople conference has SO much
world OF Pera. It Is confidently expected
that the change in the Ministry of Eng.
land will extend this unanimity to the
Greek frontier question, on which The
Porte has hitherto counted on British sup
