LONDON, April l6.-The following state
| ment gives the only authority and tOunda-
| ton, SO far as can be ascertained, for the re-
! ported differences between France and Ger
many, mention of which was made in these
| dispatches yesterday.
The London Telegraph of Monday, basing
| an editorial article upon the assertion made
oy it's own Paris and Berlin correspondents,
SAID: eve regret to learn Of the relations
| between France and Germany, the critical
conditlon whereof made known through
these columns. is creating the greatest anx-
1ety TO those by whom it is best appreci-
The Telegraph further expressed the belief
that it is only by the exercise OF discretion
at Paris and Berlin that grave complica-
tiOns may be avoided
| The statements of correspondents. uDon
which the foregoing is predicated are in sub
stance that Germany distrusts the good
ialth OF france; Is displeased at the extent
OF the armament and military organization
which the Theirs government is carrying
| forward, aud that Prince Bismarck is about
to enter formal protest against the course
France is pursuing, in which he will declare
the necessity for prompt and decisive ac-
| tion on the part of Germany, even to the
! extent of reoccupying the departments of
" L.
| the empire.
| In addition to these statements of its cor
| respondents, the Telegraph asserts editori-
ally that it is known on the highest author.
| ity that the speech of President Theirs at
| the adjournment of the French Assembly
created grave impression at Berlin.
| Neither the letters nor editorials of any
other London newspaper give confirmation
| or countenance to the assertions of the Tel
| egraph, and it having been limited that that
journal is in some way in the service and
| interest of the German Chancellor gives the
| general impression that the whole story is
| fabricated as sensation, or with the design
| of aiding some speculative scheme.
| The English note delivered at the Geneva
| arbitration says that claims for indirect
! Losses are not admitted by her majestys
government to be within the scope and in
tention of the arbitration.

| childs, the Duke of Norfolk and many

with his family at Mazda Hill, suburb of
| London, last night murdered all his chill
| dren. four in number, and then committed

The following note accompanied the
| counter case delivered to The board of arbi-
tration at Geneva yesterday, on behalf Of
Great Britain
The undersigned are instructed by her
| majesty's government to say, that while
presenting counter case, under special
reservation hereafter mentioned, they find
it incumbent upon them to inform the ar
bitrators that a misunderstanding has IN
fortunately arisen between Great Britain
and the United States touching the nature
and extent of the claims referred to in the
treaty of Washington.
The misunderstanding relates to the
claim for indirect losses under three heads.
| First, in the transfer of American ship
ping to the British flag; second, the loss of
| the sum enhanced by insurance; and third,
| the loss from the prolongatiOn of the war.
| The claims for indirect damages are not
! admitted by her majesty's government to
| be within the scope and intention of arbi-
| tration.
| Her majesty's government has been and
! is still in correspondence with the govern
ment Of the United States in relation there
| to. As that correspondence has not been
brought to final ISSUE her majesty's gov
ernment desires that arbitration shall pro-
ceed with reference to claims for direct loss.
They have thought it proper in the mean
time to present counter case, which is
strictly confined to direct claims, in the
hope that the unfortunate misunderstand-
ing may be removed.
Her maiesty's government hereby ex-
pressly and formally notify the arbitrators
that this counter case is presented without
prejudice to the position assumed by her
majesty's government in the correspond
ence whereto reference has been made,
and under the express reservation of all
her majesty's rights in the event of differ
ences continuing to exist between the
parties. If necessary, further communica-
ton will be made to the arbitratOrs.
