alton Of Savoy has startled England aud ex-
cited the suspicion Of Austria.

cred IN important speech in Parliament. and
took occasiunlto make known the views of

ships speech, that government regards the
act as being iraught with danger TO the do
m'nion Of every sovereign in Europe. 1t
sets lad precedent, and is also ir violation
Of the treaties Of 1915 The whole lone Of

and looks to = coalition Of ali the other DOW

John Russell to almost declare in Ills speech
that England is ready to join the other great
powers Of Europe to put q stop 10 the work
Of annexatio" which France has begun.
The TACT is that England and the other
powers are afraid that France will 70 on
