IspecsaI Correspondence Of the Democrat
PARIS, July 81 1878.
Marshal MacMahon, the French President,
has signed
THE TREATY Or BERLIN,
and M. Waddington Intends soon setting forth |
the effect that treaty will have on French in !
terests It remains to be seen whether his I
views will coincide with Lord Beaeonsfield's, |
which are as follows: France knows we have |
resisted all proposals duplicating q division |
Of territory Disraeli emphatically denies |
there has been division OF European Tur- |
key) because the territory which might have |
been coded us would have aroused the sus- |
picons Of France. But the interests OF Eng |
land In the East are material interests, while |
those Of France are Of sentimental nature, |
resulting from tradition and, much as / |
respect them, they ought not to make us !
forget our own interests, which are more sub |
stantial
The English Times says:
"THE ANGLO TURKISH CONVENTION
could not injure French interests. II errors
have been committed the consequences will
rebound on Great Britain and not on Z rance. |
Notwithstanding this soothing assurance,
! France is dissatisfied with the results of the
treaty Of Berlin She seems to seize with
fbct
so happy as they might have been. Although
Disraeli has been be-titled anew, and Sails
bury hagbeen invested with the order Of the
garter, for the share taken by them In bring
ing about English possession Of Cyprus, dark
clouds looming out Of the near future seem
already to darken the brilliance Of the tri
umph. War rather than Peace may be the
consequence of the European pow-wow.
| Italy is in agitation, Greece in fnsurrection,
and the Liberal party in England dissatis~
| fled. France considers that England has
endeavored too faithfully to serve her own
ends in the late congress, irrespective alike Of
friend or foe, and cannot repress CLEAN Of
satisfaction in anticipation Of the annoyance
Britain will experience If her astute states
men have failed in their object. But
REPUBLICAN FRANCE,
growing at monarchical England, does not
prevent the Prince Of Wales from running
concerts at the Trocadero. English musical
genius has never shown very brilliant hereto
fore, but the Leslie Society carried off prize.
The Irish tenor, Mr.. Barton M 'Guckin, shone
pre- eminentIy in the first concert. GamDetta,
,, the Republican leader, was invited to break
fast by the Prince Of Wales, who is an adj
: mirer Of his talents. The invitation added
! much to the already established popularity Of
! his royal highness in Paris It would seem
as II Old preiudices were wearing away, since
Prince fears not to seek the friendship Of q
rank Republican.
9 There has been o general cessation of work
In the
NORTHERN MINES or AMIN
O on account of strike among about 5000
t laborers. The Bonhpartists have tried TO per-
4 vert the circumstances into political demon
j stration on the part OF the working classes in
5 favor Of the Imperialists. The true and sens-
{ laborers for francs ISL per day, surely not
an unreasonable one. Who could support 81
j family on less? Sxty-nne arrests were
) made, and yet there were no violences COM
q ing been stationed in the neighborhood to pre-
0 vent any unpleasantness. Nearly all the
j miners have now gone back to work.
