Truth has the following : — I fail to understand why Geueral Gordon is not informed that he cannot be allowed to roam about the Soudan chastising the inhabitants whom Mr Gladstone has recognised as " brave men fighting for their independence m their ancestral home," and shelling towns. It may be his sincere opiuion that this is the way to secure peace, order, and prosperity, but it is not that of the Liberal Cabinet, and Lord Wolseley ought to employ his resources m protecting the Soudanese against this Joshua. The latest news of the siege of Khartoum is that its defender has been shelling Berber.
