Berlin, Oct. 18. Thoro.is great soreness in political circles in Berlin and depression on the- Bourse owing to Le Matin’s articles. It is semiofficially bioted that Britain diplomatically proffered assistance. An assurance is given tbat tbe allegations are baseless, yet tbe inspired Koloiscbs Zsitung emphasises the necessity of taking tbo revelations seriously, as proving that M. Delcasso roliod on Great Britain for support in his dangerously warlike policy. It adds : “ Britain or Franoo is alone able to explain wbat led him to that conviction.”
