In the House of lords on monday after noon the Earl of Beaconsfield after a Retro Spect of the government s past policy criticised the treaty of san Stefano draw ing conclusions similar to those contained in lord Salisbury s despatch. Lie said that although every article of the treaty was a deviation from the treaties of 185g and 1871, he would not Call them violations because had they considered at a Congress As eng land desired they might have been regarded As suggestions. He showed pc the pos session of Bessarabia was not of rifling local interest. Lord Palmerston had strongly insisted upon its cession to Roumania As involving Tho Independent navigation of the Danube. A Congress could not take place after Russia s refusal to conform to her pre Vious engagements and to submit the whole treaty of peace. Lie pointed out various ways in which the existing situation in the East imperilled the British Empire. The egyptians once threatened constantinople. There was consequently no reason Why the russians might not March to the sex canal. He could not conceive Why England should be unarmed when All the other Powers were arming. The Freedom of the British Empire must not Only be enjoyed but maintained. Earl Granville criticised the details of the government s past policy but declared he would not commit himself or his friends on the present phase of the question but leave the government to their own responsibility. Upon a review of the Drew conclusions favourable to peace. Lord Derby declared that the calling out of the reserves was the sole or principal cause of his difference with his late col leagues. He said matters were at a dead lock where neither Side would give Way for fear of a loss of dignity. He for one would not press matters at this moment and in crease the groundless irritation which had already existed lie denied the existence of an emergency justifying the calling out of the reserves. The ohly conceivable motive for haste of which however he would not accuse the a design to take advantage of the War feeling in the country. Even an austrian Alliance was very doubt All the other Powers were certain to stand aloof. Under these Circum stances should England be not Drifting but Rushing into purposeless War he admitted that circumstances might Force England into War but at present he could see no ground therefor. Lord Cairns said the smallness of Tho in crease of the army did not justify lord Der by s inferences. The Berlin Nord deut he 2bitiing, hither to strongly pro russian now lectures Russia and Austria sharply for not concerning an agr sement for peace while the War lasted. It says that though the Powers Are agreed on main principles Russia has fettered her sell by the san Stefano treaty and England and Austria by a solemn International pro test have rendered the position still More difficult instead of formulating their conditions before the fall of Plevna. The Zeitany nevertheless Hopes for peace. Thie article has caused a sudden cessation of warlike utterances in the austrian Semi official press. The ministerial montage Itegue states that Hopes for a peaceful settlement Are justified by the fact that Prince Bismarck is earnestly exerting himself to prevent a european conflict. It is thought by some that Bismarck is endeavouring to bully aus Tria into a settlement. Constantinople advices Are conflicting. Some say that Vefik Pasha is about to re tire to be succeeded by Raouf Pasha who will be succeeded by Osman Pasha. Both Are russian sympathizers. One despatch says the Bond fide return Home of the rus. Sian troops has begun another that Only the depleted regiment Are returning and their places Are being filled by fresh troops from the North. The general news Lawless pro russian than heretofore. The movements of the russian forces on the Danube and in Roumania indicate a de termination to prepare thoroughly against the contingency of an austrian attack in the rear. All the passes of the carpathians practicable for artillery and trains Are covered by positions which the russians have just occupied. Russian troops Are constantly moving from Bulgaria into Rou mania. Large shipments of powder from Dortmund Prussia into Russia Are re ported. The Agency Tusse says it is authorized to deny that Russia threatened to oppose the discussion of the Bessarabia question by the Congress. The Mayence also says the character of the latest news encourages a belief in the possibility of a resumption of the Congress proposals. It is stated from St. Petersburg that Gen. Ignatieff had abandoned the idea of return ing to Vienna and was about to Start for constantinople when he was detained to see whether his services might possibly be required at the Congress. St. Paul april 10. In the House of commons last night the debate on the address to the Queen in reply to her recent message announcing the Call ing out of the reserves was continued. Sir Wilfred Lawson on behalf o the radicals moved the amendment of which he had previously Given notice con testing the necessity of calling out the re serves. This amendment was rejected by vote of 319 to 64. The Marquis of Harf cing ton or. Forster and Many other liberals abstained from voting. Or. Gladstone and or. Bright supported the amendment an amendment proposed by sir George Campbell f praying her majesty to scoop j the preliminary conference suggested by Germany and abstain from Iso lated action while declaring that England is ready to support the other Powers against the spoliation of Roumania was withdrawn. The address was then Agrado to without a division. A Berlin special Gays that notwithstanding the favourable reports in the press there is reason to believe that Bratianu the Rou Manian Premier is dissatisfied with the re suits of his visit there. Germany declined to use direct pressure upon Russia for the withdrawal of her claim to Bessarabia. The the government has advised Bratianu to Lay his claims before the Czar and Endeavor to come to terms by an amicable arrangement. The journal de St. Petersburg says that Russia demands that the benefits obtained for the christians shall not be secured by inf Lacious stipulations like those of the treaty of 182g, but by material guarantees. Russia cannot accept an ephemeral Deci Sion of a Congress because it would not assure peace. If Europe be disposed to undertake a settlement of the Eastern ques Tion in the sense of emancipating the christians Russia will not raise any difficulties but the discussion of Tho question at Issue must be inspired by Confidence not jealousy. Tho austrian official Abend Post states that owing to the ministerial declaration made yesterday in the British parliament the prospects of the assembling of a Congress Are again thrown into the background. Eight thousand thessalian refugees from the burned villages in thessaly have taken Refuge in Greece. They Are utterly Desti tute. The Drift of the news from constantinople is again distinctly pro English. New objections have been taken by the turks against the russian military movements in Progress. Russian garrisons have relieved the Rou maniacs at Widding Nicopolis and Ras Sova and the russians the Danube from its Mouth to the Servian Frontier. A constantinople despatch says the rus sians Are completing the fortifications begun by the turks at tche Medja and Servos. Fresh purchases of arms Are being made by Tho turkish War office. A member of the Berlin banking House of Mendelssohn was in Paris yesterday seek ing the co operation of the Paris houses concerned in last year s russian loan to place about three Hundred millions of francs More but was unsuccessful. A St. Petersburg Telegram says the feeling gains ground that some formula will be in vented which will remove the obstructions to the assembling of the Congress. The i All mall Gazette says in View of the factious opposition which not daring to move a hostile Resolution seeks to hamper the government by such speeches As lord Granville a lord Derby a the Duke of Argyll s and or. Gladstone a we Call upon the government to dissolve parliament and thus terminate Tho anarchy which has partially paralysed it during the last two years.
