! Uitimatum.
J LONDON, Nov. 26.-At the request ot
Mr.. Gladstone Mr. Morley has comma
/ nicated to Mr.. Psrnell the following
letter written on Monday:
/ DEAR MR. MORLEY: Having arrived at {
! certain conclusion with regard to Mr.. Par.
neii's leadership Of the Irish party, have
| seen MI Mccarthy on my arrival in town
and have inquired from him whether I am
likely TO receive from Mr.. Purnell himself
any communication on the subject Mr.
Mccarthy replied that he was unable "a
give me any information. / mentioned ia
him that in 1852. after the terrible murders
| in Phpnix PARK, Mr.. ParncN, though to.
tally relieved from any idea of responsible
itv. had spontaneously written to me and
offered to take the Chiltern hundreds ia
method OF retiring from Parliament, an Of
fer much to his honor, but which / thought
it my duty to decline.
While lfnging TO the hope Of a communi.
cation from Mr. Parne!l to whomsoeyer ad.
dressed. Thought it necessary, viewing the
arrangements for the common cement of the
session to morrow, to acquaint Mr. MCCar-
thy with the con clusion at which, after is.
Ing all the means of observation and r, fec
was that, notwithstanding the splendid
services rendered by Mr.. Parnell to his
country. his continuance at the present mo-
ment In the leadership would be productive
OF consequences disast rous in the highest
degree to the cause of Ireland.
think may be warranted in askin You
so far to expand the conclusions given
above as to add that MIR. Parnells cont inu-
ance as leader would not only place many
hearty and effective friends of the Irish
cause in position of great embarrassment
but would render my retention of the lead
ership of the Liberal party, based as it has
been mainly upon the prosecution of the
Irish cause. almost q nulli.y.
This expansion of my views begged Mr.
Mccarthy to regard as confid- initial and not
intended for his colleagues generally, il he
found that Mr. Parnell contemplated spon.
taneous actien, but / also begged that he
would make known to the Iri h ing to-
morrow that such was my conclusion il he
should find that Mr.. ParnelI had not in con.
temptation any step OF the nature indicated.
l now write you in case Mr. Mccarthy
should be unable tn communicate with Mr..
Parnell, as l understand You may possibly
have an opening tomorrow through an
other .hannel. Should you have such an
opening l beg to make known to Mr..
Parnel the conclusions laid out IN this le,.
ter. have thought It best to put it in terms
simple and direct, much as / should have
liked, had it lain in my power to alleviate
the personal nature of the situation 8 re.
speeding the manner of C, nveying which
my public duty made it an obligation to say.

and jud ,ment WILLIAM f. GLADSTONE.
In postscript to his letter to Mr.. Nor
ey, Mr.. Gladstone limited, but obscure
~, that if Mr.. Parnell retained the
leadership of the Nationalist party he
should feel it necessary to reconsider
MS own position, as all probability of
carrying Home Rule during his lifetime
would have disappeared
