(Special to Pbess Association.) London, August 23
The expected debate in the House of Commons on a motion to proclaim the Irish National League is exciting much interest. Mr Gladstone, who has returned to London, has intimated his intention of tabling a motion on Thursday "That an address be presented to her Majesty the Queen opposing the proclamation."
The Gladstonian Liberals are determined to use their utmost powers in opposition to the Government obtaining Parliamentary sanction to the proclamation. Fifty of these Liberals are undecided whether to join the league.
