ENGLAND & EUROPE.
IBy Electric Telegraph— Copyright. 1 Loxms - , February Hi. fx the House of Commons the Ad-dross-in-reply was adopted. Mr Labouchere moved that an assurance was required from England to the effect that the report of the Anglo-Italian Alliance, which had not bet-n officially contradicted, was not hostile to France. Sir James Fergusson, Under-:-seereiary for Foreign Affairs, in reply, denied that the Government had contracted a military or naval engagement with Italy, and also ridiculed the idea that any hostility was displayed by either nation to France. He expressed the opinion that the peace of Europe at the present time was more assured than a year ago. He admitted there had been parleying between England and the other Powers. Mr Gladstone said that the assurances given by Sir James were satisfactory, and he was quite satistied that Lord Salisbury's Foreign policy was generally sound. After discussion, Mr Labouchere withdrew his motion, his object having been effected by the debate.
