Matters here, in relation to our for
eign policy, arc every day assuming a
more serious aspect. The Greek affairs
are not in a way that is likely to lead to
peace. The French and Russian gov
ernments appear to be generally dissat-
isfed at the turn affairs have taken, and
the Ministers of both Governments have
left England. No person in England
was aware of this state of things until
the absence of the French and Russian
Ministers. 1t gave rise to some inquiry
in the House of Lords on Thursday
Lord Brougham called the attention of
the Marquis of Lansdown to the subject
of the departure of the French Minister
on the anniversary of her Majesty s
birthday, and hoped that no diminution
of friendly feelings existing between the
French and English, was to be inferred
from that event.
The Marquis replied that the dcpar-
ture of the French Ambassador on the
Queens birthday, was entirely acci-
dental, and was owing to the desire of
the French Government to have the be-
ncfit of his presence in Paris.
In the House Of Commons Lord Pal
merston gave an explanation by no
means satisfactory He said that the
disturbance between the British and
Greek Governments had been so far
settled that no apprehension need be en-
tertaincd-that harmony had been made
lasting. The only matter remaining
was the investigation of Col. Dacifair' 5
claims upon Portugal. With respect to
the question, whether the good under
standing between the British and French
Governments had been interrupted, his
Lordship said that the French Govern
ment would have preferred, as we'll as
our own, that it should have been effect
ed through their Intervention. Circum-
stances, however, had intcrposcd to the
adjustment. He trusted nothing would
arise from this to disturb the friendly
relations between the two Governments.
The French Assembly, however, took
up the matter warmly.
Lafittc, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
has been highly complimentcd for his
decision in relation to the French Am
bassador. The affair has very scri-
Gus aspect. The funds, which arc al
ways test of public feeling on these
occasions, experienced a decided shock
no Thursday. Consols, which stood at 9G
the previous evening, declined 2 3-4 per
cent, but they subsequently rallied and
closed at 95 to 95 IA.
The excitement relative to the new
election law is spreading in France, and
petitions against it are pouring in from
every quarter. The authors of the
Constitution are decidedly of the opin-
ion that any attempt to limit the fran
chise of the Constituent Assembly is
illegal. Part of the National Assembly
concurrcd in this decision Three lead
ing journals and several leading officers
of the Naval Guards have been punish
ed for signing petition against the new
law. Apprehensions of a serious insur-
rection, in consequence of this law,
have been revived within the last few
days. The trade at Paris is in a more
satisfactory standing than since the rev.
olution Of February, 1913. Accounts
from the agricultural districts, however,
are not cheering. The farmers have
sown but little. 1t is feared that the
harvest will not yield sufficient for con-
sumption.
The Princess Of Schwartzcnburg Ru-
goldstadt and four rcigning Princes of
Rheims, have ceded their rights of sove-
reignty in order to advocate the unity
of Germany.
We learn from Vienna that the Church
insurrection will be one of life and
death, so exasperated are the minds of
men on this subject The Lloyd says
the general interest of all, whatever
creed they may be, now calls for the
separation of all churches from the
State, for that liberty now granted to the
church at Rome successfully involves
the removal Of all restrictions from all
communities.
The Porte has signifed to the Austri-
an and Russian Minister that they must
consider all restraint on the Hungarians
now at an end.
The steamer Asia reached her dock
