The Cabinet Approves the Queens Speech
The Programme Discussed.
LONDON, Aug. 13-The Cabinet met this
afternoon and remained in session two hours and
half. All the ministers were present except
Lord Ashborne. Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
The Cabinet decided, among other things, to ap-
point royal commission to inquire into the Bel
fast riots. The Cabinet finally approved the
Queens speech, and Lord Salisbury will go to
Osborne on Sunday to submit it to her Majesty.
A majority of the members of the Cabinet were
in favor Of proroguing Parliament until Feb
ruary, unless unlooked-for events in Ireland
should make an autumn session necessary. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, expressed confidence in the governments
ability to preserve order without having recourse
to special legislation.

endeavoring to move to my rear shall fall back
to my supplies at Westminster.
Here General Sickles stopped for moment
and then impressively added, He had already
sent Buford there two hours before"
General Sickles In long statement refutes
General Meade's statements, seriatim, and says:
In conclusion, allow me to repeat that General
Meade's recently published letter, far as re-
lates TO the orders and instructions therein al
legged to have been given to me, is fatty contra
dicted by his own official report of
the truth and by his own testimony
before the committee upon the conduct OF
the war. In his official report General Meade
says that the Second and Third corps were ii-
rected to occupy the Cemetery Ridge on the
left of the Eleventh corps" That is the only
statement in General Meade's official report TO
indicate the position of the Third corps. Now
we will see how guardedy he speaks of 1T in his
testimony: About or half-past o'clock in
the afternoon, proceeded from my headquarters
to the extreme left in order to see as
to the posting of the Fifth Corps and also to in
spect the position of the Third Corps, about
which was in doubt. General Sickles had sent
to me earlier in the day that there was in the
neehborhood of his corps some very
good ground for artillery, and that he should
like to have some staff officer of
posting of the artillery He also asked me
whether he was not authorized to post his corps
in such manner in his judgment he should
deem the most suitable. l answered General
eral instructions / have given to you; any
ground within those limits you choose to occupy,
I leave to you;" and ! directed Brigaaier-
general Hunt. my chief of artillery, to accomp-
any General Sickles and examine and inspect
such positions as General Sickles thought
good for artillery, and to give General Sickles
the benefit of his Judgment. General Meade's
general instructions to me were all verbal, and
persuaded that Generals Slocum. Howard.
Pleasanton, Doubleday, Robinson Howe,
Williams, and other corps and division
commanders in the Army of the Potomac would
agree with me in the observation that General
Meade was very imperfsctly informed as to the
movements and operations of his corps, divisions
and brigades during the 1st and End days
of July, 1863 leave the issue where General
Meade puts it. Military critics more competent
will decide whether or not General Meade's
judgment or my judgment was correct
