§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHexpressed a hope that the representative of this country at the Conference which was sitting at Constantinople would enter that Conference without any spirit of partisanship. Since the Turkish Government had obtained funds from this country, they had conducted themselves in a much more demonstrative manner, and they had made a new attack upon Montenegro. He could not help regarding it as a great anomaly that the Porte should have fortresses in a country where it did not otherwise possess a single acre of territory.
