There seems to be q possibility that the
friendly relations at present existing be-
tween England and France may be dis
turbed. The French Cffcial papers intimate
that comments of the English journals re-

coming serious. The London papers have
construed this paragraph Of the Monteur
into n menace. and sharp replies have been
made by the Times and Morning Post, the
English organs of the Government. Public

Anglo Austrian alliance is necessary TO
countcract the threatening alliance between
Russia and France.
