At a meeting at St James’s Hall, Mr Gladstone condemned the Cabinet for pursuing a policy opposed to the wishes of Parliament and the people, and expressed his conviction that the making of Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Bulgaria independent of the Ottoman Empire would settle the difficulty. The revolutionists in Mexico have been driven from the strongholds, and General Guerra taken prisoner,

England proposed a conference of the Great Powers re the Eastern difficulties, but it fell through. It is understood that the Russian demands were such as could not

have been met by the conference. Russia offered Roumania absolute independence for permission to march her troops through their territory. Roumania consented, War preparations in Russia are very active.

The Cabinet, after consideration, declined. The Imperial edict by China expresses regret for Margary’s murder, and admits the right of foreigners to travel through the country. Envoys have been sent with letters of apology. An enthusiastic meeting of Greeks resolved that the position of the Greek provinces in Turkey is intolerable, and resolved to strengthen the army. Russia proposes the occupation of Bulgaria. The London Times declares that in insisting on this the Emperor had mistaken the mind of Europe, Overtures have been made by Russia to Austraia, The Porte grounds its resistance to the proposals of the Great Powers on its inability to control the mob and prevent the massacre of Christians. There is terrible suffering in some of the richest parts of Cuba ; 40,000 rations were distributed twice a week. A general insurrection in Algeria threatened. Terrible ravages have been made by yellow fever in the Southern States of America. Lord Derby in reply to a deputation, expressed his strong belief in the permanency of peace.
