France Not Hostile to England.

PARIS, March 19.-It is semioflicially
declared that the utterances of NJ. Berthe
lot minister Of foreign affairs, regarding
the gravity Of the consequences Of the
British expedition to Dongola do not pos
sess the meaning attached to them. They
merely referred to the question Of using
the Egyptian reserve fund for the expedi.
tion. NJ. Berthelot will, 1t is said, make
q statement to that effect in the chamber
Of deputies this afternoon.
Altogether Franco seems to be anxious
to remove the effect produced by the bulle-
tin embodying the substance of tho inter-
view between NJ. Berthelot and the Brit
ish ambassador, Lord Dufferin. While the
government wishes 1t understood that
France is closely interested in the matter,
in no way desires to assume an atti-
tude of hostility toward England. IL was
necessary that France should clearly de-
fine her attitude at the outset and in
view of the friendly relations recently es-
tablished with England the government
was of the opinion that frank language
would bo the most likely to remove any
possible misunderstanding that might
arise.
The Temps, in commenting upon the
matter, expresses views similar to the
foregoing.
The Gaulois says NJ Berthelot's ac-
ton is the result Of an intimation from
tho khedlve that If France stood with fold
ed arms nothing remained for him to do
but to support England"
The Figaro says: "Great Britain's atti-
tude in Egypt is an outrage upon all Eu-
rope. Lord Salisbury and his cabinet have
been more deeply committed than they
would have wished, through the action OF
Lord Cromer, British diplomatic agent in
Egypt Only 4,5 800 troops are being sent
into the Sudan, instead of the necessary
go, O00 and Lord Cromer is speculating
upon this fact for a check to the advance
Of tho British force, which will lppiVa
the amour propre Of England and delay
her evacuation of Egypt. Europe must
not be caught In so clumsy n trap"
The statement that the French squad
ron in the Levant has been ordered to
Egyptian waters is denied by the govern
mont authorities.

ST. PETERsBURG, March Englnnds S
rapid move in Egypt seems to have stag
gered public opinion here. The Viedo-
mosti admits that England seems to know
the pulse of central Europe better than
any one else. The Novoe Vremya Is silent
except for the remark that we now have
real war in prospect, and that if the Egyp-
tian troops prove insufficient Indian
troops will be found necessary.
