REUTER’S TELEGRAMS.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN. London, July 14. In the House of Commons to-day, the Irish Land Bill was again under consideration in Committee. Clause 25 and 26 were passed before the House, but the latter, providing for grants for emigration, met with further obstruction, and was only carried after the sitting had been protracted to an unusual length. In the course of the debate on the latter clause, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone censured the obstructionists in strong terms, and stigmatised the tactics of the Parnellite party as calculated to degrade the proceedings of the House. Paris, July 14. The anniversary of the French Republic was celebrated to-day as a public holiday throughout the country. Festivities were organised in all parts of this city, and passed off with great eclat. Telegrams are to hand to-day from Tripoli, announcing that certain emissaries despatched to the French Government by the Governor General at Tripoli had been placed under arrest on their arrival at the capital.
