government The final decision arrived at was that
nothing could now be done, ssft was not expediens
to recognize the only governments with which any
relations could be at prent established in France

out London since It has been MADE known, and new
demonstrations are looked for Of moro serious
character than those already chronicled.
TINE FOB ENGLAND TO MOVE.
The English Ministers meet In council to-day, after
q long holiday. The nation Ia impatient al their
inacion while their generous ally OF twenty years s
struggling in her last agony. They will have to
move or be driven ANONYMOUSLY from power. As
stated In my despatch OF Wednesday, they will
adopt the former alternative and take immediate
steps to try to prevent the destruction Of Paris.
Such catastrophe, II permitted, would dishonor
England even more than France. The course OF the
Cabinet ia indicated by o leader in the London
Times this morning. It cannot says the Times,
rebound to our glory 10 express an opinion
without an intention OF enforcing 1t. 1t cannot, in
the judgment OF any person, rebound to our glory
to abstain from expressing an opinion when de-
manded OF US because we may ind ourselves differ
ing from powerful neignbor. MIR. Bruce's speech
at Greenock about Alsace and Lorraine is equally
significant.
PRUSSIA OBJECTS TO ENGLAND SELLING ARMS TO
FRANCE.
At the Cabinet meeting correspondence was
laid before the Ministry which mas just
taken place between Earl Granville and the
Prussian Ambassador, Count Won Bernstorn.
Count Won Bernstorfr two weeks ago addressed to
Earl Granville formal complaint against the con-
tinued shipment OF arms from England to France.
10 this Earl Granville replied that under the exist
ing laws Of England nothing could be done to
prevent such shipments, which might be made to
one Power as well as to another, and that Parlia-
ment alone could change the existing laws. On
Wednesday last Count Won Bernstorn addressed
second note to Earl Granville specifically stat
ing that the Prussian Embassy had positive evt-
dence Of the recent shipment Of four hundred
cases OF arms from Birmingham to France.
"This," said Count Won Bernstorn, as certainly no
neutrality as your Excellencys government must be
perfectly aware, In the present state OF affairs on the
continent that these arms are intended for use in
the fe at once against Prussia" To this note Earl
Granville replied by requesting Count Won Bretorr
to lay the proofs Of these statements before her Ma
jesty's government. Yesterday Count Won Bornstar,
without delay furnished the proof In support of his
statements to the British Foreign office. Earl Gran
vile replied by acknowledging the receipt OF the
Ambassadors last note. No action was taken by
the council upon the matter, which rests with the
Foreign office.
