THE G.O.M. ON CRETE.
Mr. Gladstone has sounded a trumpetblast, says the Wastminster, on the question of the moment by issuing a powerful pamphlet on the Cretan question. It takes the form of a letter to the Duke of Westminster. The right hon. gentleman deolaros the Concert of Europe to be good or bad, according as it is used, and thinks it is now being used badly. He does not Bay abandon it, but reminds the world that this country has an existence, a character, and a duty of her own. He holds the coercion of Greece to be a shameful policy, and, as regards Crete, would assign it to King George without terminating the suzerainty of the Sultan. Cyprus also, when convenient, ho would transfer to Greece. Finally, he bids the English remember that freedom is the very breath of their nostrils. The pamphlet has attracted great attention, not only in the Old Country, but on the Continent and in the United States.
