THE SUBMARINE CABLE.
LATEST EUROPEAN NEWS. London, August 13. The first debate in the House of Commons, on the re-opening of Parliament, was on the Eastern question. Mr Bruce moved that the Government, respecting the existing treaties, should exercise it* influence to secure the welfare and equal treatment of the different religious races in Turkey. Mr Gladstone defended the English policy in the Crimea, and advocated the autonomy of the insurgent provinces. Mr Disraeli denied that the rejection of the Berlin note would be the cause of war. The war was due to the aggression of Servia. The British fleet was sent to the Mediterranean for the protection of British interests, and not of the Turkish Empire. Civil war between Turkey and her provinces gave ho cause for the interference of the Government. Great Britain was ready to help to pacify the belligerents. The motion was withdrawn.
Lord Granville regretted that the Berlin memorandum had been totally rejected without the substitution of counter projects. He described the policy of England towards Turkey as one of benevolence and neutrality. Earl Derby. said that the policy of England depended upon the result of probable war and concert of other powers.
The health of the new Sultan Murad is worse, and he is pronounced quite imbecile.
The Servians are stubbornly disputing the advance of the Turks.
