There was a debate in the Lords on Monday on

the Greek -massacre which under other circumstances would have been of importance, but which is now hopelessly out of date. The world is at war, England is isolated, and we must for the moment 'depend more or less on the honesty of the Greek Government when professing its desire to do justice. The inquiry, however, is going on, Lord Granville—whose first speeches in his new office Save been strikingly good, marked by great caution, but without useless reticence—states distinctly that he insists upon redress, and the massacre is not one of the events which diplomatists forget. We can present our demand six months hence as well as now.
