Paris. July A.-The Paris papers are hlled
with expressions Of pleasure at the reception OF
the French fleet at Cronstadt. though every
thing was carried out in accordance with the
program previously announced. which, Of
course, detracts from its importance an
event OF especial significance. fev OF the
more conservative Journals content themselves
with thanking the government for its honors 10

officers, but the more volatile Of the Parisian
editors profess 60 see in the extension OF cour-
tesies 10 the French feet strong tendency 20
the inevitable Franco Russian offensive and de-
fensive alliance. Though the latter view is ex-
pressed chiefly by Journals Of littl. or no infiu-

LONDON, July 24.--Advices from Sofa state
that deep interest is felt in the Bulgarian capi-
tai in the outcome Of the Coburg family coun-
Gil, which it is expected will be held at the
estate of the Archduke Joseph in Hungary in 9
few days. The meeting 10 understood to most
deeply concern Prince Ferdinand, mas
much a. it il believed TO have been called to
discuss the matrimonial prospects of the
Bulgarian ruler. Prince Ferdinand and his
mother are to be present and the Princess
Stephanie, widow Of Prince Rudolph of Austria,
and her mother, the Queen of the Belgisns, will
also attend, together with several Others con-
nected by birth or marriage with the Coburg
family. Current gossip has il that the real
purpose of the gathering is to discuss the pos
sibility of matrimonial alliance between Fer
dlnand and Stephanie, an event which would
require the sanction of the Emperor and En-
press OF Austria. the King ana Queen of the
Belgians, and probably arouse opposition Of
many other courts.
