London, Sept. 24.-The Right Hon.
William E. Gladstone, Liberal leader, re-
plying to the request of the general man
ager of the Associated Press for an ad-
vance proof of the important speech he
is to deliver to-day before the Reform
club, of Liverpool, sent the following
autograph letter to the Associated Press:
"Hawarden, Sept, 23, 1861 can only
so far anticipate what may have to say
at Liverpool tomorrow as to signify to
you in this way that shall recommend
giving the warmest support to the
queens government, together with the
largest discretion, assuming, however,
that they will not include in their policy
as a proper instrument of war with their
united, or mainly united Europe, but not
at all excluding it from their choice,
should they find it to be the only alterna-
tive open to them for action on the sole
responsibility of this country for the full
dllment of the covenants which have been
lisgracefully broken.
II remain, dear sir, very faithfully,
"W. E. GLADSTONE"
YIRM BUT CONSERVATIVE.
The radical pro.Armenian papers have
been antioi patipg political upheaval as
result of the speech that Gladstone
would make to-day, and it is now evident
that he proposes to uphold the hands of
the Marquis of Salisbury, instead of TAX
ing a stand against him.
Gladstone's reception on his arrival in
this city, and on his appearance at Heng-
ler's circus, where vast audience was as
sembled, was enthusiastic in the extreme.
The meeting adopted resolutions de-
claring that the massacres at Constanti-
nople were "a disgrace to the oiviliza-
tion Of the nineteenth century"
Mr.. Gladstone then moved the follow
ing resolution, which was received with
great applause: "That this meeting trusts
that her majesty's ministers, realizing
to the fullest extent the terrible condition
in which their fellow Christians are
placed, will do everything possible to OBJ
tain for them full security and protec-
tion; and this meeting assures her ma
jesty's ministers that they may rely upon
the cordial support of the citizens of Liv-
erpool in whatever steps they feel it nec-
essary to take for that purpose"
IN THE INTEREST OF HUMANITY.
Mr.. Gladstone said: ~ entertain a
lively hope and strong belief that the
present deplorable situation is not due
to any act or default of the government
of this great country. (Cries "Oh," and
chesrs.) The present movement ia based
on the broad grounds of humanity and is
not directed against the Mohammedans,
but against the Turkish officials, the evil
dsnce Of whose barbarity rests in the in
credible official reports.
Mr.. Gladstone alluded to the supine-
ness of the ambassadors at Oonstanti-
nople, and said: ~ believe that the con-
tinued presence of the ambassadors at
Constantinople has operated as dis
tinct couutenance to the sultan, who is
thus their recognized ally.
"We have just title to threaten Tur-
key with coercion that does not in itself
mean war, and think the first step
should be to recall our ambassador.
(Cheers) When diplomatic relations are
suspended England should inform the sui
tan that she will consider the means of
enforcing her just and human demands"
