TO RENEW NEGOTIATIONS.
In the house OF Lords this afternoon,
Earl Granville, secretery of state for
foreign affairs, in answer TO an inquiry,
stated that England and Russia had
agreed to renew negotiations in London
concerning the Afghan frontier and the
meeting of the delimitation commission
had been arranged in detail. He said
both England and Russia had agreed
that the difficulties which had arisen
from the Penjdeh incident should be
submitted to a full investigation and
reference TO friendly powers.
Lord Granville said that both govern
ments would facilitate the inquiry as
much as possible. The Penjdeh district
will remain neutral territory during the
progress of negotiations. The Rus
sian government, continued Gran
vile. has stated its readiness to
consider the question of Withdrawing
their troops SHOULD the decision of the
Afghan boundary commission prove to
be against them. Any differences that
may arise regarding the Interpretation
OF passages in the dispatches of the two
governments would be dealt with in q
manner consistent with the honor of
both countries.
To other interrogatories, Granville
said the British government had sane
toned the seizure of LIE
Bosphore Egyptien without giving
any opinion as to the legality
of the action. France having demanded
a reopeninG of the Office OF the paper
aud the punishment OF the persons con-
cerned in the act of its seizure, England
caused legal inquiry TO be made into
the matter and ascertainieg that the
suppression of lie Bosphore Egyptien
disolaiming her share of responsibility
for the act of seizure, advised Egypt to
apologize TO France and the BOsphore
Egyptien to reappear.
GLADSTONE.
Mr.. Gladstone stated in the house of
commons this afternoon that no COM
had rs yet passed between
Russia and England in regard to the
reported occupation OF the island of
Port Hamilton by England. In re-
sponse to a question by Sir Stafford
Northcote, Gladstone saids all impede
ments in the way of a friendly prosecu-
tion of the correspondence on the AT
ghan question between England and
Russia appeared to be removed. The
two governments, he said, were now
ready to refer to the sovereign of some
friendly. state any. difficulties which
may be found to exist in regard to the
agreement of the 18th of March,
with view to settlement OF
the matter, If made consistent
with the honor of both sides.
Gladstone said both Russia
and England were prepared to resume
forthwith in London communications
on the main points of the line of delimit
ing the Afghan frontier, but details of
the line would have to be examined and
traced on the spot in conformity with |
condiGions formally agreed upon. "Rus-
sia," said the premier, "has expressed
herself willing to agree to the removal
of Russian outposts,"
