SUEZ MAIL NEWS.

[By Thlbgrafh.] [Via Russell.] The F. and O. Company's s.s. Bosesta arrived at Albany this morning from Galle at 11.30. The following is the summary of the English news:— LONDON, September 84. Mr Parnell, M.P., commenced his autumnal agitation campaign in Ireland on the 19th inet., when he delivered a speech to a great meeting on the land question at Innes. Mr Farnell stated his confident expectation of being able to push a Land Bill through next session. He stated that the extent to which the Bui would go would be measured by the determination of the people not to pay unjust rents, and to keep a firm grip on their homesteads. He exhorted his hearers not to bid for farms when others had been ejecl-od. The situation with respect to Eastern affairs is extremely critical, owing to the refusal of the Forte to give orders for the cession of Dalcigno to Montenegro. Conflicts are consequently apprehended, not only between the Montenegrins and Albanians but also between Turkey and the Powers represented by the combined fleet now at Bagusa. A small detachment of Rizi Pasha's troops hold Duleigno, while the main body are encamped between the Albanian and Montenegin forces. Admiral Seymour has summoned Biza Fasba 'to deliver Dal igno to Montenegro. The reply of the Pasha is still awaited. In the event of a refusal it is understood that the Montenegrins will attack the place with the support of the combined squadron. In view of this contingency, Admiral Seymour has gone to Cettinge to arrange for joint action with the Prince of Montenegro. Meanwhile the Forte has issued two circular notes protesting against the pressure exercised by the Powers as being a violation of the Sultan's sovereign rights and disclaimerg the responsibility for any anarchical agitation which their action may produce in the Mohommedan world. Council succeeds Council at the Palace, but resistance seems to have been determined on. The Sultan remains deaf to the remonstrances of Mr Gosohen and of the Other ambassadors, however energetic. In Prance the Ministerial crisis resulting in the resignation of the late Prime Minister has again displayed the omnipotence of M. Gambetta in French politics. M. Freycinet's position has been untenable ever since his delivery of a recent speeoh at Mortauban, wherein he apparently sought to extenuate the rather alarming utterances of M. Gambetta at Cherbourg. The festivals just previous to this alone gave great offence to M. Gambetta, but M. Freycinet rendered the breach still wider by announcing a temporising policy towards the non-authorised religious bodies affected by the March decrees. All non-authorised orders were to share the fate of the Jesuits unless they seoularised their position with the French Government. The orders in question, thinking to divert the storm, issued a declaration affirming, though somewhat vaguely in some respeots, their submission to the institutions of the country. This declaration was the result of negotiations between M. Freycinet and the Vatican. But, in acoepting it, the French French Premier exceeded his powers and aroused the hostility of M. Gambetta and hie party in the Cabinet, who resolved to carry the war against Clericalism "a outranoe." M. Jules Ferry, the present Premier, carried out the expulsion of the Jesuits, and is determined to treat the other orders with no lest rigor. Triokett and Laycock have reoeived new boats. Trickett's waß built by Jewitt ol Dunston-on-Tyne. It pleases him hettei than any boat he ever had. It weighs 23lbs and is very strong.

There i plenty of money on Henloi. BOMBAY, Ootober 8. A despatch from General Primrose t

| General Barrows has been published, but it throws little light upon the question raised in connection with the May disaster. Its I meagreness illioited a sharp censure from the Viceroy. The Commander-in-Chief's statement is confirmed that Lieutenant McLean commenced the aotion by advancing two guns without orders. This is suggested as accounting for General Burrows' fighting in an unfavourable position when better ground might bsT» been chosen close at hand. General Burrows states that the men behaved well, with the exception of two companies of Jacobs* Biflas, till the critical moment, whon the native infantry gave way and the cavalry, when called upon to charge, did not obey orders. After the first yielding on the part of the infantry the aotion speedUy was irretrievably lost.
