 LONDON, Dec 1S.-The rupture of diplo- matic relations between France and Bull garia on the pretext of the expulsion of the French journalist Chadouine now proves to be the initial step of French diplomatic scheme to ask the sultan to use his suzerian right to interfere in Bulgaria in Russia's interest r
 Advices were received at the foreign of fee tonight that M Carbon, the French ambassador at Constsntinople, has de- manded and will obtain a formal conference on the subject with the sultan tomorrow. This develop ment is no surprise to Lord Sails bury and his diplomatic allies in Vienna and Berlin. M. Cambon, in an interview with the foreign minister of the porte on Wednesday last was understood to inti-
 
 Prince Ferdinand the government of France must look for redress to the suzerain before taking directly active measures. .AsM. Ribot must know or expect that the porte will decline to interfere in 8 question con- corning the internal administration of Bull garia anxiety pivots on what the French government will do next.
 The Austrian government, probably act ing in concert with Lord Salisbury and Chancellor von Caprivi, supports the Bulgarian bureau. Austria's agent at Sofia has melted Premier Stam- bulof to address 8 note to the governments of Turkey, Germany, Aus tria and England, vindicating the expul- sion of Chadouine. It is known all round that M. Ribot does not care straw for the expulsion or the expulsee,
 The St. Petersburg weekly, the Vedomo- sti, after suggesting that it is possible that France, failing to obtain satisfaction, may blockade Bulgarian ports, says that Russia would protest against the appearance of French i1onclads before Varna or Bour- gas.
 If M. Ribot's policy results thus the peace of Europe is over.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1S.-The Novoe Vremya prints semi-of6cial article con- corning the dispute between France and Bulgaria growing out Of the Chadou1ne incident. The article approved the action of France in withdrawing her representa- tives from Bulgaria and declares that if France had yielded in her demand that the decree of expulsion against Chadouine should be rescinded, she would have es- tablished dangerous precedent.
 The Novoe Vremya adds that had such precedent been established England would take advantage of it in Egypt.
 France, the paper further says, cannot rest content with the recall of her repre- sentative at Sofia. We presume that M Chamben, the French ambassador to Fur key, will not conceal from the sultan the necessity for further action on the part of France.
 The Novositi says that the Chadouine incident may render it incumbent on France and Russia to intervene to prevent Bulgaria from being made center of agi- tation by the dreibund and base for Aus tria's advance upon the Balkans.
 The Novositi also says that whatever the outcome of the present difficulty may be. the incident shows that Russia is right in regarding the Coburg regime in Bulgaria, supported by the dreibund, as a perms- nent danger to Europe. V"
