2 N FOL CIGN MISCELLANY, SPEECH OF THE BRITISH PREMIER BEFORE" 118 CONSTITUENTS. HEB DEF RRIE RE ull a cars ar ants HIS VIEWS UPON THE PROPOSITIONS FOR REFOKM IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND UPON THE NEW SOCIAL MOVEMENT, On the 28th ult, Mr. Gladstone, the British Premier, paid his promisod visit to his constituents at Greeuwich, England, and delivered a speech, some points of which have already been received by telegraph. The following, howeyer, is 8 more comprebensive siu mary of this speech: t «1 am not ulout to spend a large portion of your time in discussing hg AL the reAtIons connected wilh the late sess on of Parilament. T.ey have been largely debatea and largely considered before many assemblies of Englishmen during tho recess, and I rejoice that the ablic mind has been gotively given to consider the his se of that sessfon. because it has resulted in dispelling entirely the dolusion of those who believe that because it bas been a session distinguished, unhappily, by peculiar fties in the mehod of oftering Parliamentary oppokition {eheers und terruption), it fag, therefore, been an un yroductive seston, And of all the Sharies that were Prougnt apainst the Government, he principal one that remaips is this, that they laid upon the table of Parbament too great number of measures. Now, gentlemen, I wish pos that chargo to make one obscrvation—it Is not exc usively in the option of a Government to determine what measures it whall lay on the table of Parliament. Now, gentlemen, it 1s often said that tho present Government has had a very easy task, because they have Leen supported by a very larse majority [interruption], and iuferences are drawn, perhaps by some of my fricnds—a kuot of about a score of persons over in that quarter to the lofu (a laugh) -to tho efl-ct tiat onr intellectual capacity must be very narrow indeed, juasmuch #8 we have experi anced ditheultics in doing what we wished to do while we had thes fan cnse hiberal majonty at our backs, Well, now, gentlemen, there is a delusion in the public mind apon thi= subj-et, and perhaps you will be eurprised when, not dealing with argument, but with fact, I inform vou that we re the first Liberal Government which has Lyver stiisled for three years with a large majority. [Cheers] Now, inmy tune, there have Docu thice Lib eral Gov inane nts with inrge majorities. “lwil for toe present assuiue that as regards the lass of zoo der sahects on wide Thad the honor of ad deeasibe von at the time of my election, and as rezards those hes ons to winch we have invited Parliument Sree) Lo apply itself, you may be disposed to thimk thal we Lave hol wade ab unreasonable or injudicious selection, taough we had to choose irom among Baby matters of coep interest and importance [cheers]; and will now say a word or two of the fuiure. [Cheers.) There is oie measure 0 particular, or rather one set of Jeasures, to Laing to a paintal subject oo which I cannot bere enter into detail, I mean those measures which are known by tie tae of the Contagious Diseases acts. I will on y ~~ure you that they have received the close attenhou of the Government—that we shall be ready Wen Lhe Casio arrives ib due course to state our views, and that, us we believe, it will then be your opinion that we have not fallen hort of the care and interest which the subject demands; that we have uot concealed frow our selves tie Cobenities that beset it, aud that the wodes in which we propose to deal with it may be likely to com man! fh ~cueral approval of the intelligent commuuily. (Cheers). KEFORMING THE HOUSE 0: LORDS. Now, g« ntl nen, there is a question of the future on which you have heard wuch said of late. I mean the question of the Constitution of the House of Lords. Leave tho Constitution of the House of Lords alone 1] Well, I am not prepared to agree with my friend there Jucery and a laugh], because the Constitution of the fouse of Lurds Las often been a subject of consideration amoung the wisest and most sober-ininded men; as, for example, when a proposal, of which my fricud disap proves, perhaps, was midea few years ago to wake a woderate addition to the House of lords of J iShe holding their peeruges for life. [Cleers.) ain net golug to discuss that particular measure; I will only say, without entering into detalls that would be highly interesting, but which the vast range of the subject makes impossible on the present oc casion=I will only say that I believe there are various particulars iu which the Coustitution of the House of fords mignt, under favorable circumstances, be im Prused, (Clhieers.) And I am bound to say that, though believe there are tome politicians bearing the nawe of Liberal who ajprove the proceedings of the House of lords with respect to the Ballot bill at the close of last session [cheers and nerruption], I wust own that 1 deeply lament toat proceeding. [Cheers] It seems 10 me to have been a great error. After the House of Commong, which had per formed other aud most serious labors tor four or five months, bad given the last six weeks of the session—six weeks of great labor—to maturing the Ballot bill, it ap pears to me to have been a great and grievous error—I cannot call it otherwise—on the part of the House of Lords, in the second week of the month of August, to gay that, really such was the time at which they had arrived, that it wus impossible for them to give to that measure the number of days—not a very large number of days, according to all precedent —it Ly have required of them. [Cheers] Why, m 1 the House of Lorde, which had a Conservative majority, in the face of the Whig Guverument, dove:sd not only the wonth of August, but carried September the fabars necessa n for a subject not more important than the bal Hg he FARE nd ly, the By hi a uto pu mely, pa Corporations. But the ou of Lorn at that time wa as led by a reat "Conservative MO guided by the Duke of Wellington and though I, for m; own part, am uot able on all other points to admire th statesmanship of the Duke of Wellington, I shall alway Frotonnaly admire the tact, the skill, the sound constitu ional principle with which he wauaged the House o Lords so as to prevent the placing of that Payiculs branch of the Legislature in dangerous conflict with th Joy iar and with the semtiment of the country neers, But, gentlemen, the reform of the House of Lords which has been recommended in many quarters, is briefly this—and here I shall agree, perhaps, with my honorable triend, if I uay so call Lim, or he will agree with me— the reform recommended is this, that we should eject and expel from the House of Lords what is called the hereditary Yiacipie. JGsens and Interruption.] Now, gentlemen, I hope that Iam at least in earnest and sin. cere intention what is called a Liberal politician; but betove I agree and before I commit myself to expelling from the House of Lords the hereditary pi tiple, 1 will tuink once, IT will think twice, will even think thrice. [Cheers.] It is not on account of tuis or that particular error com: mitted by a public gsselably tuat we are vitally or pro foundly to “hunge the established and accustomed usages and prine.ples of the Constitution. (Cheers.| Now, mark what buppe ed. Lord Bhaftesbury, whow I weu tion with a profound respect on account of his earnest and devoted philanthropy —Lord Shalvesomy went down to Glasgow, und received at Glasgow, 1 believe, a most warm welcome on the part of the vast Ropulaiion, and the working population of that city. en that oc curred some threw up their hats and said, “The people of Glasgow upjrove of Jad Shaftesbury ’s motion with re kard to the Ballot bill.” I think that was a precipitate con clusion [cheers], but 1 think it showed this, that the people of Glasgow, being a sagacious people, were not disposed ou account of that particular error to draw a rapid and precipitate conclusion either againgl a man or against a body who had performed distinguished ser vice. [Cheers.] No, gentlemen, this is a question of so wueh interest to us all that, even after the length to which I have necessarily been drawn, I must ask you to cousider two thlugs, Before a determine to expel the hereditary principle from the House of Lords, T ask you, the people of Greenwich, us TopreysLting the people ol England, to cousider, in the first place, Wht you will substitute for tle hereditary prin ciple. That's the difficulty.’ But I have another point to suggest, and it is this. I have a shrewd ~uspicion in iny mind that a very large Joprtion of the people of Eugland have a Sleaking kinduess for this ucreditary prineiple. [Cheers and laughter.) I don't wean, gentlemen, by that that a large proportion of the people of England desire, or intend, or would permit that which I hope they never will desire, intend, cr per wit—nawely, that the House of Lords should exercise a paramount influence over the legislation of the country. jCheers,) That is quite another matter. But this I do say, that tue peoples of England are not like the people of France, lovers of naked political equality. (Cheers. THE NEW BOCIAL MOVEMENT. You have all heard of the ‘seven points.’ [Laughter.| I an not going to enter junto the mysterious and mystical part of that transaction, which, I have no doubt, is des {tined, under the action of time, which brings all things to light, to undergo further elucidation. But there is one gentleman there 18 no doubt about at all, for he is in the thick of it. I believe be is a very distinguished man. Mr. Bcott Russell seems to have cast his eq around, and, after surveying the whole circuit of the commu nity, he thought he had got a secret whereby the discords of classes could be removed. Bo he JFotesded 10 Stal ize a body of workingmen whom he consi in some QefTee great or small, I don't say—to represent the workingmen on the one side, and: he also organ body to represent the other classes on the other side. Here was one body on one side, another body on t other side, and in fhe middle Mr. Scott Russell. [Laugh ter.] Mr. Hcott Russell comes in communication with both of these bodies. He speaks first to the one, and then to the other. [Laughter.) You have seen a clergy man first of all looks to the people in one part of the church, and one com 93 -_ IY a vi Co i carry upon thelr Whe ponsliley of the that many them perform thelr duties in an admirable and exemplary manner. (Cheers.] Well under these cireumsianees—and I hope while I romain in Zohlie life I shall be able to aot gealously and cheer fully with you for the promotion of liberal opiYions-1 for one never understood by liberal opinions eliher pre. cipftate conclustous or subverHve conclustone, and I trust we shall wel ider before we connrit ourselyes to vast changes and the introduction of new principles, and that we shall knew before we commit ourselves something of what the results aro likely to be.” “am A th i h hey backs of Mr. Gladstone retited amid uhiversal applause. &nb sequently a motion earnestly shanking him'for bis scr vices in the chuse of liberty and progress was carried without a dissenting veice. OPINIONS OF THE LONDON PRESS, From ‘The London (Independnt) of Oat. 30, We trust Mr. Gladstone will be content to Jhace the main substance of his legislation Jwxt session u remedial measures, There is no political question so vait or urgent that we should be required so wait any longer for that protection to life, health, and morality which one or two simple measures already propared would undoubtedly afford, Mr. Gladstone dwelt on a true and useful theme in warning his artisan hearers aguinat expecting legislation to remove all the social evils under which they suffer. But men are apt to fall Into this exaggeration whén they sce aronnd them gaging abuees which could unquestionably be re strained by the law, and when they are refused faciiitics which, by common admission, jegislation canld afford them, When the Legislature has done what is admitted to be within its power, it will be time to dwell exclu sively on the necessity for individual exertions. But, at present, with a Mines Regulation bill PORtpencd from year to year, a Sanitary bill wailing for the invasfon of cholera, and the Licensing bill absorbing agitation all over the country, individuals cannot be expee'ed to set tle down to patieut work, 1% necds anly the will in order to insure such measures as these boing carried, and if Mr. Gladstone will address himself to them he will com plete his claim to the confidence wluch his cumetituents accorded to him on Saturday. From The Dafly News {fea} of Oct. 1, Mr, Gladstone has disappointed the quidnunes. His speech at Greenwich on Buturday was siuply that of a wemwber of Parlinment addressing his conatuicnis, and was ju Do sense that of the Prime Minister of England issuing a mantesto to the nation, It contained no political revelations, let out no Cabinet seerots, and sand nothing that any member of the Cabinet wmigut not equally Bive said. Some anticipations of the speech Which the public were asked to receive aa hall anthorized revelations were altogether be side the mark, The fears of disturbance and of failure were equally vain, A bold experiment, the success of which depended almost equally on ospricions weal ber and 8 more capricious muititnde, was justified by the completest success, The later Autumn of un E. ghsh yeur rarely brings a more brilliant day. amd an open alr weeting on a holiday afterncon has never brought to gether a more uranmos and enthusiastic multitnde, His reception was even more a personal triumph (han a party success. Mr. Gladstene seemed even to his best friends to be venturing moeh to win but little, From The Standard (Comservative) of (xi. 30. Mr. Gladstone's Blackheath speccn, though, in our view, less objectionable and certainly less oflensive than most of his recent harangues, cannot but have been dis appointing and discouraging to Wis friends; aud we incline to thank thas, whatever may have been its effect on Saturday eveniug, the feeling of uneasiness and dis satisfaction must nave been still greater yesterday, when Liberal politicians had time to consider it bei and critacally, and to weigh and perpend the real wean ing of a tone 80 unusual, so moderate, and, above all, so Bpulogetic We think that the more thoughtful members of the party Ws infer from it that thelr cluef is clearly aware that nstituents are displeased with hiw, and that the same strange fate which pas rendered him uu popular with large bodies of men just in proportion as he 18 Pronaly jnte ciose relations with chem, aud which Las driven from one constituency to another in a wanner juost unusual among English Stutesmen of the first 1uuk, impehids over him in this last place of refuge also. ‘lhat he should be, ever temporarily, exeluded from Parha ment is of course neither probable nor desirable if such a thing should happen, it would be an indication of a serious defect in our electoral system as juackidery for bringing the nutural chiefs of parties und rulers of the country into the House of Comuwons; but it does seem eminently likely that at the next geneial election Mr. Gladstone's friends will find it exp«dient to repeat the maneuver of 1868, and find for hiw another alternative seat in the event of his deleat at Greenwich. a. THE FRANCO-GERMAN CONVENTIONS. PRINCE BISMARCK'S EXPLANATION OF THE COM MERCIAL AND TERRITORIAL CLAUSES. Prince Bismarck, in his recent speech in the Gerwan Parliament on the new Conventions with France, gave the following explanation of the parts dealing with the tariff on Alsace-Lorraine manufactures, and the retrocession of territory to France: When first we entered Wyo negotiations with France, the Alsace-Lorraine manufseturers wished to secure for themselves an exceptional position for five or six dears. Thesr views were Sipporied by the representatives of the manufacturing in rest in our own country. If the lating were frous of retaining the use of the ou w ran un their powerful cotpert 3 Bit to accord such a long. term fmpossible, If not for tmancial at say Tale fon political reasons. It would have been unwise to Jrolons the exceptional pas! on of the new prov beyond the time imperatively required for the Teal tection of commercial {inter In the original treaty we therefore stipulated for July 1, 1873, as the date up to which Alsace manufactures were to be imported into France at reduced rates. I re gret that in the new Convention I have been obliged to consent to a shortening of this term by six months. But as the French National Assembly have modified the orig: inal arrangement iu 8 way unacceptable to us, and as M, Thiers, when he took ft hos himself to settle with us on a different basis, required some conceasion at our hands to justify this conduct at howe, we could not but adopt the expedient proposed by him. That it would have been imprudent to indorse the vote of the Natioual As sembly 1s obvious. By demanding a privileged position for French manufactures in Alsace sinilar to that conceded to Alsatian manufactures in France, it aimed at constituting Alsace a sepa rate country, which, commercially at any rate, would have belonged to France rather thun to Germany, Had we 0 on od this proposal, we should have been obliged to reéstablish custom-houses on the eastern fron tier of the new province, and to preserve it for some time to come aa a distinct country. This was clearly not to be thought of. Upon the whole, I think the aitcrnu tive adopted will reconcile conflicting interests ae much as can be expected in a matter of the kind. Where po litical and commercial, financial and industrial Interests clash, it is always difficult to flud an expedient equally agreeable to all parties. As to three villugea we cede in the Convention—Avri oourt and the two ns—their possession is of no lm portance to us, They are on the LIXPIGDURE FILeF, snd belong to those localities which the French Govern ment wished to recover after the new frontier had been definitely fixed at Versailles. Another place of the sae category, and which has been likewise mentioned again in the recent negotiations, is a lui fo iron foundry known as Moymvre; but as the mine belonging to it, under the proposed arrangement, would nuve had to be divided into two parts, the one German, the other French, with a Custom-House under ground, we did not think it Jrasticable to oblige our neighbors in this particular, The three villages, however, are of no special use to us. They are inhabited French-speaking yeople, and, lying on the western declivity of the Donon ils, give us no better frontier than we have without them. We therefore considered them from the very out set as something which, in return 10r a counier conces sion, might be given 0 wi 8 good grace, and we have, now that occasion offers, acted upon this conviction and parted with them. We have Ikewise resigned a emall strip of land south of Avricourt, which concession will give the inhabitants of this village railway communication with France on French territory. As an equivalent the Freuch engage to build us the now terminus we in con Sequeog require on our side of the frontier. Bome valuable forests, situate in these communes, we have not given up. They are Crown lands and worth money. In recommending to you to confirm the Convention, I am ready to answer amy questions that may be put respecting the nature and bearing of the new agreement, The financial and territorial portions of the new agree ment form an indivisible whole and it is very derirable that we shonld be soon in a position to inform The French Government of our wish to exchange ratifications. EE ——mu— PRESIDENT THIERS PROMISES TO UPHOLD THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. M. Thiers received on the 26th ult. the members of the CouncilfGeneral of the Department of the Beine-et-Olse, upon which occasion he spoke as follows: You have all of you well understood me when I say that I am not wan of purty. Iam a Frenchman in trusted with the task of he Hiog sno fons to emerge from a cruel crisis. I am not author of the Ragublic, but I have received it as a trust. Iam a man of honor, and that trust shall not perish in ny hands nor through deed of mine; but the mistrust which the Re pubic inspires in many demands from all Repub foans ao strong attachment to the cause of order. The Republic has need to be wiser than a monarchy, and to show that it can exist side by side with order and re speot for the laws. The Government was energetic and resolute in the war which I was forced, although with a bleeding heart, to wage against the insurgents of Paris. It wishes now to be moderate, but it will not allow any one to disturb order, Huog pubis peace is indispensable to liberate our country. eo must inspire confidence in foreigners, and prove to them that Frauce is recovering, #0 that they may go and free our soil. We have not been able Lo recaln our glory at the point of the sword.

(A lsugh.] This is exactly, or almost exactly, what seems to have been done by Mr. Scott Russell.
