LONDON june D.--ln the House OF Com.
mons last night Mr.. RyIsuds tLlberaIl, In
moving for further papers on the Anglo
Turkish Convention, contended that In
spite Of the failure Of the Turkish provinces
OF reform the Convention was binding on
us, and that In the not impossible event OF
IN Armenian insurrcction and Russian in.
PREVENTION We should lie bound to 20 10
Turkeys assistance. BE therefore recon.
mended that we should intimate distinctly 10
Turkey that we withdraw from the Conver.
ton. Asa consequence OF 1t he said we should
have 10 give up Cyprus, which be strongly
advised. Holding our acquisition OF Cy.
prus was an infraction OF public law and
the cause, as be showed from the converse
tons OF Nr. Waddinaton and Lord Sails
bury Of Berlin, OF the present difficulty
concerning Tunis. Sir Henry Wolf (Con-
lseryative) said that TO hand back Cyprus to
Turkey would be to restore It to misgoy-
eminent. There was no analogy between
our acquisition OF Cyprus and the French
proceedings In Tunis. Sir Charles W.
Dixie, Under Foreign Secretary, said
there were no papers which could
be laid before the House. He agreed,
he said, ia much which Mr.. Ry.
lands had said in regard to the
AngIo-Turkish convention, but, he pointed
out that II was q different thing to copdemn
the treaty and to revise II, and violently to
upset the conyentiOni might endauger the
peace OF the East. He hoped, therefore,
the House would not press any such course
on the Government. He argued that there
was no analogy between the acquisition OF
Tunis and OF Cyprus. although our ex-
ample bad been OF bad effect. Mr.. Glad
stone, alter warmly euloeizing Mr. Go.
schen's services at Constantinople, stated
that Lord Dufferin-the newIy-appoint-
ed ambassador 10 that court-carried
with him instructions to put forward
the settlement OF the Armenian ques-
ton. Mr.. Gladstone violently attacked the
secrecy OF the late Government In regard
| to the conversations OF Lord Salisbury and
NJ. Waddngton, and said II the French
policy in Tunis bad been dangerous TO the
public peace, and il it had involved a
breach OF public faith, England, by the
evil example she set, would have weakened
beT right to protest against 1t. 1t was, he
said, a departure from the European con-
cert which the late Government had there
by destroyed, and which the present Gov
eminent bad Iabored and would labor TO re-
build. The House was then counted out.
