THE ANGLo-TURKIsH CONVENTION.

THE ANGLO-TURklSH CONNENIlON.
LONDON, July ia correspondent at
Berlin is authorized to deny most positively
that France has asked Russia whether she
would not prefer to give up the idea OF
Asiatic annexation rather than see the Anglo
Turkish treaty carried out. 1t is understood
in France that England occupied Cyprus
instead of Egypt, although strongly urged
TO take the latter course, because she did not
wish to disturb her good relations with
France. Lord Beaconsfeld, at Tuesdays
sitting said he was convinced that the result
Of the congress would be highly gratifying
to Europe, and that this happy result was
due to the persistent and devoted efforts of
its illustrious president. The congress has
already read fifty articles of the treaty of
peace. At Wednesdays sitting the question
of enforcing the treaty was discussed.
Prince Bismarck pointed out that there could
be no question of collected action, as the
powers were interested in such different de-
grees. The congress resolved that the re-
spectve powers should charge their ambas
sailors and consuls TO watch over the execu-
ton of the clauses in which they are inter
ested.
Il Berlin special says it is reported that
the French and Italian delegates have tele
graphed home, asking if they should form
oily interpellate the British representatives
concerning the AngloTurkish convention.
Tie Interpolation is improbable, as Earl
Beaconsled and his colleagues have alread y
refused to bring the convention under dis
cussion. The Asiatic frontier, as now fixed,
gives Russia about half of the land between
her old frontier and Erzeroum. This is con-
siderably less than was allotted to her by the
ltLxc {l,r
tier of the Daghantedgh, but retains the hills
overlooking Obi.
LONDON. July 1.-THE excitement regard
ing the Anglo Turkish alliance has not sub
siled, and there is much agitation among
political parties in England. At present
only very small majority Of the opposition
favor directly challenging the government
policy. Lord Harrington, liberal leader,
will to-day, in the House OF Commons, call
for papers and information on the subject
of the Auglo-Turkish convention, and when
these are produced the opposition will decide
what course to take. The conservative
press continues to warmly support the
governments measure, and the
Times argues that the task undertaken
could not have been practically avoided, and
would have beed unavoidable sooner or later.
Sorae of the liberal press, however, claim
there is more acute anxiety among the con-
servatves than can be estimated by reading
the conservative papers. correspondent
of the Manchester Gua1dt0n says short
life is predicted for the alliance by some.
1t is pointed out that Lord Beaconstield's ar
rangement robs the pashas of the right to
plundcr the populations they misgovern.
The bureaucratic class will revolt against
:; foreign protectorate which forbids specu-
lation and Furnishes for misgovernment, and
they will soon intrigue for the establishment
of Russian protectorate ii Russia IS so IN
cined. The British protectorate can be ter
minated at any time by the nominal sur
render OF those Russian acquisitions i'll Asia
which were the specific condition for Eng
lands interference. For these difficulties
the p esent canon between Turkey and Eng
land provides no remedy.
The Fronch people continue alarmed
about England's new acquisition in Turkey.
The Lepublique Flttnc0iso described the
convention as detrimental to the interests of
Mediterranean powers, and offensive to the
dignity OF members of the congress. That
journal personally attacks Lord Beaconsfeld,
and expresses the hope that congress will in
sist ON having the treaty submitted to it.
Tho entire press show the greatest irritation
Enough all are not SO abusive as the Repub-
HQRG f3ancaise.
