THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE LONDON
CONFERENCE.
The Journal de Debats,, speaking of the re sult of the London Conference, says: Ir quime all the proverbial gruician of the chief organ of the English Government to rejoice at au issue which is only a deep humiliation for the policy parsined during the last forty years by the Western Powers. England suffers for her Prazsian policy, nad Earl Grunville particular auffers for the unfortunate one quiousness with which he has riellel to family predilectima. Every fruit of the Orimean War is lost. We must not be satisfied with fine words, but frankly face the situation. As far as we nog oonegued, we have done for a long time with politics and sentiment. The word of France is broken to-day. It may quee more be unsheathed from the scabbard, but it will not be for Turkey. The aim will not be so dia, tant as the integrity of the Ottoman Empire." *Other juginile write in thê samo atrisin.
