scunstances necessitate it, and tie Neither

manner satisfactory to itself and Curacao.

London, Nov. 6th.-Pars dispatches state
that at an e%xtraor iinary session of the Ca
biuat it has been unanimously decided not
to accede TO the German dempnds. II Ger
many were as cOnc'liatory is France au un-
Outstanding colld be IeIdily reached by
mutual expressions of regret aud acceptance
of arbitration, but France can make no
other concession, and her refusal to
censure the French officials is definite.
M. jules Cambon, the French Ambassador,
has communicated the above, and Herr Won
Schoen, the Minister OF Foreign Affairs, IN n
reserved reply, has intimated that possibly
Prince Won ltalo,in, he German Ambassador

by disgusl ut a collapse SO palpable as
to affront even German intelligence. Ger
mans have refused to be deceived by
SO puerile q manmuvre, and the Government
has also perceived it is L aking itself rdlcu-
lous before the world. The danger lay, not
IL the wGr]ike sentiment Of the Germans,
Tut in the Aaisel's bitterness at The recfp-
ton OF his interview, which is reflected IN It's
almost reckless reaction upon his advisers,
but even they perceive it is inopPortune to
repeat the pressure upon France, which le-
suited in NJ. Delcasses dismiss al thee years
