few days to the powers. requesting an opinion
as to the best course to be pursued. Some en-

been derived from tho cordial tone adopted by
Germany and which has boen noted In France
with mingled astonishment and disgust.
Public opinion in England is divided Tho

might have been rendered twice as difficult had

that the very statesmen who allowed him to 60
