conclusion Of the ministerial statemen
relative TO Tunis made in the FrenCl
Chamber ot Deputies, yesterday, will bt
received throughout Europe with unmix
ed amusement. Every political section II
England agrees that the reasons for thu
expedition advanced by the French MiL
lister OF Foreign Affairs are the msres
pretexts, and that the real reasons, which
the latter part OF his circular reveals, are
unworthy OF any State that processes tC
be guided In itA international relations by
the ordinary rules OF morality. 1t would
be idle to pretend that the action o.

done herself harm with English pub.

feeling Of jealousy, either commercial or
political, that produces this result, but ls
one OF concern that nation which seemed
to have entered upon better path should
allow itself 10 be turned by financial
and commercial interests into o course
not In accordance with the bes. traditions
or the public law.
