LONDON. Thursday, July t. 1873.
The following are additional points Of Prince BIS
marcks conversation with the correspondent OF the
Times on Tuesday, The Prince said he saw that
England would go to war on the question OF bhga-
ria and therefore whcne, on June u, the negotiation
between England and Russia broke down, he has
tened to the rival plenipoteutares and caused them
to renew their negotiations. Bismarck supposed an
agreement could be readily come to on the question
of the frontiers Of Roumcla etc. lie did not believe
any serious difficulty could arise relative TO Greece
The Greeks were doubtless an interesting people IL
il were a question Of choosing between the Greeks
and Turks, he should prefer the Greeks, as more
civilized; but the Turks, although they
would readily Weld TO Austria, who is great
and formidable. would defend themselves with
all their might against the Greeks. IL
was as if Germany under the first French Empire
had been required to yield to small
secondary state because she had been compelled to
submit 70 the mighty power OF Napoleon. Dis
marck added that for his part he would certainly
accept all concessions which were obtainable l3T
Greece but he anticipated no serious struggle IAN
the telcgrans received in London are III accordance
with the foregoing and anticipate that uicccc VIII
obtain very small concessions
In relation 10 Batum, Prince Bismarck SAID the
fact must not Oc forgotten that tho Russians hau
two bonds concerning A. one from Turkey ana the
other from England. hs Car had also spOkrn out
