PARIS, March 29ik.
The air in electric with expectation tonight, and numerous rumors are current of grave things that are in contemplaifon. Among those which sie circamatantially formulated are that the resignation of M. Berthelot as Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced yesterday, was dan to the wish of M. Haurgeois, the. Premier, to recall Baron de Courcel, the French Embassa- doe in London; that. Franco's kaval reserva squadron bas been ordered placed upon a war footing, and that France and Russia will convene
■ European conference to discuss the powers of the Egyptian-Debt Commission to act against the vote of a minority of the powers gasrapiecing the debt, and to discuss, also, the evacuation of Egypt.
There is a growing ballef among Frenchmen that the infands, between Great Britain and the Dreibund, as a whole, is not as cordial as it was belfeved it was when the Nue expedition was first announced. The signs of the soreconciled attitudo of Germany toward Great Britain have been keenly anted to France for two weeks past, and the conviction has grown that Germany, though glad to avall herself of Great Britain's assistance to her aliy, I'aly, will not take a more leulent view on that account of any other forward movement by Great Brimia.
Whether the disturbed condition of affairs in South Africa gives France - hope that there will be inserted the wedge to brank sinnder again the newly formed friendship of Great Bella and Germany is a matter of surmise. But that France regarde the alliance of Great Britain with the Dreibend as less formidable, because less well assured, is evident from many things.
How far the French Ministry will re-amume the silt stillede of priest against the Nile rxpedition, adopted in M. Berth-lot's report in als communication to Lord Defferia when the expedition was first annonaced, and subsequently softened in face of the outbreak of unbridled French patriots, is the question of first interest in Paris to-night and which it is hoped will be answered in the Chamb r of Deputies.

The case hinged solely upon this point. In cidentally expert evidence was introduced to show that it was possible that the conditions which Dr. Flayfair found might exist and Mrs. Kitson still be an honest woman, but this issue was not directly involved. It was not a question of medical ethics, but justice.
Janice Hawkins, who presided, made it clear in a few remarks that where medical and legal ethics chashed, no matter how unanimous, the medical profession might be, law was supreme, Premiuent physicians testified in Dr. Playlair's favor, and advanced startling theories. Sir John Williams, physician to the royal family, declared that it was within the discretion of any one of the 23,000 physicians in England, on his own responsibility, to disclose a secret without com suling a patient if he deemed it his duty for the protection of his wife or, farally, as in case of crime.
This moved the Judge to inquire if he con- sidesed it the duty of the doctor to inform the public prosecutor in case he found that a patient had subuhted to an illegal operation. Sir John ́replied that' the College of Physicians had answered, “Yes” to precisely that question.
*Then all I can say is, rupfad Mr. Justice Hawkins with some hast, # that it will make me Very careful in the selection of my medical men.
