FOREIGN.
A GERMAN VIEW OF THE MIDDLE.

London, June 23.-Official correspondence
on the Egyptian question shows that Prince
Bismarck informed Count Won Muster, Ger
man ambassador here, that he was opposed to
joining the English and French intervention
in Egypt, because he believed it would lead
to disagreement and quarrels between France
and England, which, whatever might be said
of his supposed policy, he would be glad to
see it avoided. Lord Granville, minister Of
foreigns, in April suggested that England,
France and Turkey each send general to
France objected to the plan as dilatory, and
as possible of leading to sending of Turkish
troops on the sultan's authority. On the I'd
of May, the French government suggested the
sending of fleets, and agreed if they failed to
effect the desired object, that the calling in of
Turkish troops by France and England would
be the least Objectionable form of armed inter-
venton.
