FRANCE.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Paris correspondent
Of the Manchester Guardian says: 1t is now
certain that Austria has refused to sanction
the Anglo French scheme for the liquidation
Of the Egyptian debt 1t appears that Eng
lend had taken an engagement with Austria to
abide by her decision In the matter. This pro-
duced here much discomfort and great dis
trust of England's Intervention. These an
noyances are unfortunate, especially In the
present iuncture, when Frenchmen iealously
watch English movements and are apt to mis-
interpret every act against French policy as
an advance toward Germany.
For the past week the Republiqase Francdise
has been sharply attacking the English Cabi-
net, and Its example is followed by other lead
Ing papers.
