France Jealous of England.
EXCITED DEBATE IN THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. FRENCH TROOPS TO BE SENT TO AFRICA. [pee pbess association.] Pahis, JuneS. In the Chamber of Deputies, M. Etieune, in a bellicose speech, complained that England was everywhere dogging France in the extension of her Colonial Empire, particularly in Africa, and making allies of the enemies of France. England's attitude, he declared, was due t?a desire to increase her hold on Egypt. Mr Hanoteaux, Minister for Foreign \ffairs, also referred to the British policy in Africa, and expressed the opinion that the Anglo Congo agreement was a violation of international law and an evasion of the right* of Turkey and France. This being so, the agreement must be null and void. The French Government had already despatched reinforcments to defend their rights in Upper Oubaughi and prevent further aggression on the part of the British. Amidst a scene of great excitement the Chamber unanimously endorsed the action of the Ministry. It is currently reported in the city that Captain Monteil has been ordered to occupy a'l the points belonging to France on the fourth degree in Africa, and if necessary to reconquer possessions which they have lost.
