of foreign affairs, Won Moster, the German
pleasantness arising fIom the visit4of the
empress on Herbette, the French ambas-
sador at Berlin. This has given rise to a
considerable amount of diplomatic cor
respondence by telegraph and otherwise,

be deeply resented in Berlin, nobody for
an instant doubts, and there are many
people who look forward, not without
feeling OF apprehension, to the effect the
present unpleasantness may have upon the
mind Of the emperor Of Germany. Calmer
minds, ever since the project to get French
artists to exhibit in Berlin, have been spec
ulating on what the effect would be upon
the people of Berlin, if, for instance, the
celebrated pictures of Detaille, giving,
from the French point of view. incidents
of the Franco russian war of 1870 and
1871, which are clarifying to French arms,
were exposed on exhibition in the capital
of Germany.

of articles unfavorable to France, arising
