LONDON, Sept. 10.
The London papers Of tomorrow will
publish an interesting correspondence be-
tween tho Prussian Ambassador at Lon.
don, Count .Bornstorff, and the English
Foreign Minister, Earl Granville. Count
Berfnstorif complains ,ot the violation OF
English neutrality involved in extensive
sales Of English arms to France. he re;
iers to,yariOus cases which have come
within his knowledge, and winds upSllS
saying that England will be morally re-
sponsfble for the blood shed on foreign
fields through the agency Of few Eng
fish tradesmen.l Count BernstOrtt claims,

TINT the war would have ended sooner,
and that fewer Germans would have been
killed, had not England permitted these
abuses to be Derpctrated. Earl Granville
replies in u dispatch, dated only yester,
day, by travcrsing the assertions OF Count
Bcrnstortt. Hc goes on to say that
during the Crtmean war Prussia, pre-
tending to be neutral, permitted the Rus.
sian government 10 bring arms bought in
Belgium through the Prtlssian territory.
He repels the accusations levelled OF
Great Britain he declares that the atti'
tude Of England should be one Of bencv:
client, not malevolent, neutrality; and
says that the sort Of neutrality which
Prussia asks would have been necessarily
hostile 10 France. The markets Of Eng
