DIRECT TELEGRAMS FROM EUROPE.

■■;: . '- ♦ —: [By Submarine Cable.] REUTERS SPECIAL TELEGRAMS, London, January 25th. The Press considers that the European Powers are bound to enforce the demands made by the Conference. I At a great Tory meeting, held at Liverpool, Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, insisted that it was to the interest of England that peace should be conserved, and it was that feeling which guided the (Joverninent in their policy regarding the Eastern question. He denied the charges made that there was any jealous feeliDg towards Eusgia. Such statements were only calculated to hamper any effort at intervention on behalf of the Christians in the Turkish Provinces. The Government carefully avoided any false policy of coercion, though the Porte had acted unwisely inrejecting the proposals. But he admitted that the Porte was free to choose its owa course. No European power would be justified in considering the rejection as an insult. ; The Hon. Asheton Cross, Secretary of State for the Home Department, said he believed that the prospects of peace were better1; than they had been for months past; I Tooth, Vicar of Hitcham, has been imprisoned for defying the judgment of the Court of Archea.
