Show Englitiiii'a Nlfimiloii. London, 1G. Much of the popul tr ut.tMnnc63 hern regarding the fulure ol lo:-t:igu n ilairv, grows out o( the alnn tt mi penetrable mystery in which tho BtMConsfield ministry shrouds insult, at its policy and the actual unlil.iry or political reason a mi wl.irii ll.nt 'pL'Ik'y is based. 'I he pc-upltf rtmliza now, very generally, that Disraeli was ullerly deceived when he supposed the Berlin treaty insured a long Eurnpuarj peace. They (ear he may again le deceived iu supposing that he can ride rounl)jhod over the ameer, without with-out provoking a dtslructive war on a widespread field. Heucf, their anxiety lor details as lo tUe real facts iu tin Afghanistan matter. It lookn to tht-m as if war or dishonor is the ilti-rmitive now staring England in tbe face, and they warn an opportunity opportu-nity to judge for themselves whether theee can be escaped. U bile they believe, with good reason, that tbe ameer has Russia at bin hack and would rather have a w.ir with Enc land than not, it is dillicult to tee how England can back out if tbe a ooeer will not. This conviction i-enhanced i-enhanced by the defiant elatiou over Eogland's embarrassment, which the Huesian press makes no eflort to disguise or cenceat. It becomes more aud mora evident that the Russian diplomatic tact closely to Russian interests as against England, and that tbe latter id utterly unable to practically discharge Ihe' responsibilities which it asauimd by tbe Berlin treaty. The apology ollered for Disraeli is that his age e telling against him, but h:s ministry I is Burely failing iD popular eUnnaMon as rapidly it was exalted a few months ago. If its recently renew d spasm of jealousy of Russia is not simulated sim-ulated in the interest of party intrigue, in-trigue, many sound thiukura pronounce pro-nounce it puerile aud exuggi-rit. d, poiulitg out that the recent iuri.irr-e tionary movements in Turssh pro vitK'ta are more reasonably attntmt able to interna causes than to Russian Rus-sian intrigue and aggression. |
