BERLIN, 4th March. An important speech was made by Prince Bismark in the Reichsing lo-day in which he stated that he never advised the British samoza tion of Egypt. His advice, however, has been repeatedly asked by the British Government, on this subjent, and hin counsel to Britain had boon to come to an understanding with Turkey. Prize Elsmarok further said that the present diplomatin tension between Britain and Gor- many was owing to the publication of the Blue and White Boobs on, Colonial Affairs. Prince Bismarck and several members of the Reichstag complained of the publication by the British Government, in the Blue Book, of Sir Edward Mallet's laterview with Princo Bismarck on the 24th January last. The North German Casette refers, in a leading article to-day, to the same subject, and says that the malevolent spirit displayed by Brilsin in publishing the re- salts of the interview alluded to, will put and to the confidentist oxchange of lows between
