| GAMBETTI's OPINION OF THE TREATY OF
| BERLIN.
PARIS, July 24.-M Gambetta, III an in
| terview concerning the treaty of Berlin, said ::
In my opinion 1T may be affirmed that the
treaty OF Berlin has modified in very essen
| tial way the basis of the understanding of
| 1873. and think that France has every rea-
son to approve of a change which modifes a
| combination formed apart from her if not
against her. The change brought about in
| England s policy is another consequence of
not less Importance resulting from the con-
gress, On which France cannot but congratu-
| late herself. In establishing herself at Cyprus,
as an advanced guard, and in constituting
herself the protectress of the Asiatic interests
of Turkey, Englaud has abandoned that
policy which | shall call insular, to resume
policy OF watchfulness upon the continent.
France cannot but hail this change with
gladness. Things have returned to their
logical and natural course. The interests of
France and England are so closely connected
that the return of England to less narrow
policy rescues the two States at the same
time from the temporary isolation into which
they had CHANGED to fall. In consequence of
the change brought about by the congress, the
IL Sas east fhe 81 France and Eng
land. already somewhat identical, have be-
come more so, and | congratulate myself in
the name OF my country, on a change which
deem very fortunate and very assuring for
every one. | will not enter further luto a
detailed examination of the treaty, which |
should not be able, perhaps, to approve of in
all Its parts, but what | have mentioned will
prove to you that cannot be classed among
those who are the adyersaries of the Berlin
congress"
