AONDONi July 90 ne correspond
ence between England and France
relating to affairs in Tripoli has been
issued.
A dispatch from Lord Granville,
Foreign Minister, to Lord Lyons,
ambassador to France, on the 18th
inst. states that in view of the ques
toned incorporation Of the Tripolitan
Turkish empire, as well as its prox.
unity to Egypt, Her Majesty's govern
ment could not regard an interference
Of whatever description on the part
Of France in Tripoli in the same man
ner as they viewed that which oc-
CURED in Tunis. Lord Lyons having
laid the substance of the above dis
patch before the French Foreign
Minister, was assured by him that
France regardel l Tripoli as indisputa-
bly, a part of the Ottoman empire. and
that she had no intention whatever of
either invading it or attempting to es
tablish any exclusive or predominant
influence in that country. The re-
monstrances which had been addressed
to the Porte, he said, had been mild
and friendly, and had not been made
until France had very good reason to
believe that Turkish emissaries from
Tripoli had been stirring up disaffec
ton in Tunis. The Porte had been
warned Of the danger which must
ensue if fire was lighted in Tripoli
which should spread to Tunis, and it
had been assured that if, contrary to
her hopes aud wishes, France was
driven to military measures, she
would take defensive measures only
and French troops would not cross
the frontier of Tripoli. The French
Minister declared it would be real
and great sorrow to him if anythin
should occur to weaken the close and
cordial understanding between France
and England in regard to Egypt. The
correspondence concludes with dis
patch from Lord Granville to Lore
Duferin, ambassador at CONSTANT
uople, iustructing him to advise th,
Porte 10 exercise great prudence in
not giving causes for plausible com
plant to France.
In the House Of Commons yester
lay, Lord Randolph Spencer Church
Ill, conservative, gave notice of his
intention to move on the third read
ing of the land bill, resolution to
The effect, that the bill being the result
Of revolutionary agitation, encour
.qes reputation of contracts, and i
opposed to individual liberty and j.
calculated to diminish security of
property and prosperity in Ireland,
nd to endanger her union with Great
Britain. 1t is understood that the
notice was given without any con
sultation with Conservative leaders
md against their wishes. Iti is be
| ieved if the resolution is pressed to a
livision the regular opposition will
bstain from voting.
The Standard says The resolution
deserves to take high rank among
the masterpieces Of false tactics and
political recklessness. There is not a
single arguments in its favor.

A Paris correspondent of the Times
says The true reason for Fastening

report to Paris to the effect that a
serious insurrection might be expected
to break out in September. A great
