DEBATE ON GLADSTONE’S RESOLUTIONS, The debate on Mr. Gladstone’s resolutions began yesterday afternoon in the House of Commons, There was a denso crowd present, both in tho house and galleries. Prince Louis Napoleon and other distin- guished foreigners were in tho latter. The scene was animated, Tho Peers’ galleries were full. Mr. Aytoun gave notice that ho would ask Mr, Hardy, Secretary Of State tor tho War Department, to-day, whether it is true that a special roster has been prepared for certain regiments for foreign service, including a brigade of Guards, Mr, Gladstone, in reply to a question by Mr. Tre- velyan, said he accepted the latter’s amondment to the second resolution, Tho amendment is worded as follows:—“'Tho House is of opinion that the Porte, by its conduct toward its subject populations, and its Tefusal to give guarantees tor their better government, has forfeited all claim to the moral and matorial sup- port of Great Britain.” Mr. Gladstone gave notice of hig intention to move the first and second but not the other resolutions, The Marquisot Hartington thought these resolutions might receive general support, and asked Sir Jonn Lubbock to: withdraw his motion for the previous question, who consented. There was a most tu- multuous scone. Sir Stafford Northcote thought the House was Placed in a ridiculous position, but ot two unpleasant. nesses he would choose the least and consented to go on with the debate. The House finally agreed to allow Mr. Gladstone to Move the resolutions with Mr. Trovelyan’s amend- ment fhe third and fourth resolutions were aban- doned. MR. GLADSTONR’S STRONG SPEECH. During this preliminary discussion as to whether the Honse should suspend the ordinary business so as to permit Mr. Gladstone to move the resolutions, Mr. Gladstone explained that he had given notice of his Tesolutions in response to repeated challenges from the Ministers, and in order that the opposition should des clare ite views in the House, He had never proposeda romoval of the Ministry, but bad asserted the neors- uty of a modification of their policy. He desired no Party advantage, but he wanted to relieve his country from a most serious risk of dishonor and guilt. He ‘would be the basest of mon if, bolieving that danger existed, he did not endeavor to avert it, After the House had agroed to suspend the ordinary business, Mr. Gladstone, in moving his first resolution, said he did not intend to move a censure on the gov- ernment, because he did not sce what public intor- est would be thereby promoted. He did not re- frain because he believed them uncensurable, for be knew no chapter in the history of the last sixty years of our foreign policy #0 deplorable as tbat of the last eighteen months. He repoated his former accusatfons as to Sir Henry Eliiot’s encouragement of the Turks during tho Conference. The Conference became a farce from the moment Turkey was informod that England would not enforce any decision that might bo arrived at. There was a power behind Lord Salisbury which determined he should not sucoved, and when the Porte was informed of the fact it drew from the Grand Vizier expressions of gratitude to Lord Beaconsfield. Mr. Layard’s mission was another mistake, because Mr. Layard is a partisan of Turkey. A declaration by the House that Turkey had lost all claim to the moral and material support of England was in bis opinion neces- sary, because, under the name of moral support, as much had been done as might at some not distant day be done in the name of the protection of Bri interests, The squadron sent to Besika Bay to protect Christians had been increased toa fleet to over. a the board provinces of Turkey. For the last two or three months we seemed to havo been re- lapsing Into the position where outrages were to be regarded as a matter of sentimental roxret, action in regard to which was to be determined by what might be considered British Interests. The reiorms in the Turkish constitution, in which Lord Derby had ex- pressed disbelief, wore revived in Karl Derby’s answer to Prince Gortschakofl's circular, In that answer Lord Derby, not expressing the feeling of the country, had ventured in the namo of the country to rebuke the Power which bad mado itself the organ of the united governments and the solemn conclusions of Europe. He (Mr. Gladstone) looked with some suspicion on the movement of Russia alone, The settlement of the question by Austria and Rassia would be unsatisfactory, because, as neighbor- ing States, they are exposed to great temptations. But the conscienceof mankind would no longer be content with remonstrances and expostulations. “If we are unprepared to go further,” said Mr. Gladstone, “we must be prepared to see the duty pass into other hands,”” Mr. Gladstone declared that the Porte, especially Midbat Pacha, ireotly in. stigated the Buigarian atrocities, “It ts,” said = he, “4ncompatible with the honor of England to be content with protests and romon- Strances alter the atrocities had been mentioned in a royal speech. No British interest 1s endangered. Russia was not mad enough to touch British interests, Bhe knew we had given her a magnificent position. Bhe could plead that what she asked was what all Europe asked. But others were content with refusal and sho was not.”” It wasa terrible thing to infu: foto the minds of the Turkish Christians that Russia was their only hope. The Eastern ques- tion could 30 longer be trifled with. It could only be satisfactorily settled by the united action of Europe, ‘His complaint against the government was that when- ever thoy had seemed to concur in promoting united action they bad always done #0 under conditions that rendered it futile, He personally adhered to all the resolutions he had originally placed on paper, bat was thankiul for Lord Hart Ington’s aid as far it went and would feel even more thankful for the aid of the government, because ho fully recognized the importance of unan- Imity. The cause of those who revolted against their Parkish oppressors was one of tho noblest that ever animated a human breast, Whether England now do- fended or deserted the cause of oppressed nationall- tes, tho knell ot Turkish tyranny had sounded; its downfall, come from whose hands it might, would be gladly accepted by Christendom and the world, MR. GLADSTONK'S OPINIONS CRITICISKD, Sir Henry Wolff (conservative) deprecated binding ‘the country toa hard and fast line of conduct, Ho sjmoved that the House decline to entertain any reso- aiiution which might embarrass the government in its aintenance of poaco and the protection of British in- rests without indicating any alternative line of pol- icy. Sit Henry Wolf's motion emanated directly from [apie government, Sir Stafford Northcote having sug: ted its torms during the preliminary debate, Mr, Joseph Chamberlain, radical member tor Bir- ingham, said the House bad a right to know to what length the government considered Russia should be lowed to go without English interferonce, Mr, Cross, the Home Secretary, believed the country would be astonished at Mr. Gladstone at the last joment dropping the most muterial point of bis lutions, The government’s policy had been roughows consistent and straighttorward, There NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1877—TRIPLE SHEET. SCENE 4 separate Lord Salisbury from his colleagues till the blue books showed they were united. The chargo now made, that thero was a power behind which determined that Lord Salisbury should not suc- ceed, should not have been ventured by a man in Mr. Gladstone’s position without some foundation. Mr. Gtadstono durst not tell the House or the country that he wos prepared to go to war against Turkey as the ally of Russia, and yet that was tho point to which his policy would tend, The very basis of the Constantinople Conference was that the independence and integrity ot the Ottoman Empire should be maintained, and it would have been a gross breach of faith if 1t bad been declared, as Mr. Glad- stone seems to think it should have been, that the decision of the Conterence would be enforced by war, Turkey's reply to the protocol was blind and foolish. She is now suffering for her folly, But there was nothing to justify Russia im holding the protocol like @ pistol to her head and acting in contravention of the treaty of 1871. The Power responsible for brouking the united action of Kurope is Russia. Turkey is now engaged in a death struggle, God alone knows what may be tho result. But the whole efforts of the British government must be directod to localizing the war and preserving strict neutrality, If the Czar keeps his word, plodged to Lord Loftus, that he had no intention been some tue back an empt made ty | Monday, The Russian Tolegrapuio Agency reset to take Constantinople, but only to obtain the amel- foriation of the condition of the Christians, there would be no question of interference with British interests, If the opposition advocated war against Turkey they should plainly say so; but if they only intended to bark loudly and not bite, such a policy is wholly unworthy and would never have tho sanction ofthe pablia. The opposition appeared to attach more importanoe to Having the liberal party united than hav- ing the country united in view of the dissensions of Europo. ‘The debato was adjourned until this afternoon. The Pall Mall Gazette says:—'‘We understand that, acting on tho advice of Earl Granville, Mr. Giad- | stone will withdraw the greator part of his resolutions and amend the remainder, with a view to avoiding a division of the liberals.

France bas officially announced her neutrality. ‘Servia has assurod Austria of hor neutrality, In order not to afford an occasion for Austria to de- part from neutrality the Russian commanders have received orders not to cross the anute neur Kalafat nor jom anywhere with tho ser- n army.

The Moscow Slavonian committees have issued an appeal to its emissaries urging them to arouse in the districts occu- pied by Russians new national lie, both with regard to spiritual, especially ecclesiastical, and material affairs. Tho Russian Telegraphic Agency, announcing the delivery of Lord Derby's answer, says:—‘We are as- sured that the Russian government will not reply to it That would be to carry on a controversy when it {s a question of making history. ”” The Berlin National Gazelte believes Russia will not roply, because the only possible reply would be a dec- laration of war. The Paris Moniteur, the organ of the French Foreign Office, 6 it is certainly a most cus incident, The Courrier de France declares it is impossible to imagino a more alarming diplomatic document. “We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that it is a perilous indication of coolness betweon England and Russia and Germany.” Lord Derby's reply has prvdaced considerable sur- prise and sensation in Berlin. It is sald to havo caused serious pain and displeasure at St, Petersburg. The Paris Temps, commenting on Ear! Derby's note, says:—Such language ts rarely used in communications from one friendly Power to anothor.
