MR GLADSTONE'S CHANGE OF FRONT.
Commenting on this subject, tho "Times" B ay ß : _« Now that Turkey is fairly out of the way, and there is no risk, because no possibility, of our being in alliance with her, even he is prepared to look with vigilance, and even with some degree of suspicion, on the demands of Russia. Even he protests against the supposed claim of Russia for a cession of Bessarabia, with the power it would involve over the navigation of the Danube. Even he thinks it expedient to exclude her from the position of a Danubian Power. With respect to the Straits, and even with respect to Bulgaria, he avows that he has some common ground with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Towards Bulgaria, indeed, he proposes to deal with a harshness which few of his own folfollowers will support, and which many of his supporters will disclaim. But, with these sentiments avowed by one who has been the most ardent supporter of Russia up to the present time, it is clear the Government will not lack support in an attitude of vigilant observation at the Conference in relation to that Power."
