LONDON, May 1.-The delectloh
among the suppo. tiers OF Gladstone
has own rapidly to-day. The num-
Der OF adherents of Lord Harrington
and Chamberlain has risen from IS to
los. English and Scotch Radical
papers that hitherto supported Glad.
stone now concur in tie opinion that
his conclusioss are inadequate; thai
the JOINT commission is practically
impossible and that the home rule

crucial amendments are 10 be made
Toe opponents Calculate that
there will be a majority OF
forty against the bill. Gladstone
has been urged to assent to a
day to day discussion OF the

rly on the subj ct Thurs lay.

A UNION LEAGUE
is being formed in Ulster, the MEM
bers of which are bound to ignore the
DEGREES of the Dublin Parliament and
refuse to pay the taxes levied by that
body. The Duke OF Bedford sent
a blank check to the Liberal Unionist
Committee, and other aristocrats
romise drafts for any amount re-
auired. Foity-two members of the
House OF Commons are of the com
mittee.
THE GREEK QUESTION.
The dispatch sent by Earl Rose
berry, Foreign Minister, on the 9th
inst, to the British diplomatic repre-
sent,tives abroad, touching the Greek
question, said the course OF Greece
encouraged her enemies and disheart-
ened her friends. In paroxysm oil
irritation at the possible enlargement
of iendly Christian State Greece
rushed to arms and made
her elf a menacing element in
Eastern sffairs. 1t is impossible
TO expect that Turkey would
remain armed for an indefinite period
The strenuous appeals of the powers
alone caused the Porte to maintain a
pacific attitude by exercising mate
rial pressure. Great Britain adopted
a course more friendly, more favorab
to Greece than if she had left her to
firece conf ct with Turkey.
