ROUGH ON OUR "ANCIENT FOE."
The Paris correspondent of the Mel bourne Telegraph writes that the bombardment of Alexandria was a God, send for the Conference, as it cut several Gordian knots for them, and reinstated the status, and perhaps the prestige of England's " claim in India." The only regret is that England did rot commence her salutary and' sanitary work weeks ago, relying, as of old, upon her good self, and not fettered, baulked, and humiliated by the tergiversation and unreliability of France. She is now free ; let her keep herself so, and, if possible, for ever. France does not know her own mind for five minutes, She has neither definite programme nor stable ministry, and her legislators blow hot and cold every moment. The French are both riled and down in the mouth at England coolly acting without them, and reaping all the honor and glory. Every incident, real or imaginary, is chrcnicled with a gusto that reflects on English doings. Thus spite and jealousy becomes clear as a road to a parish church. By treating all with sublime indifference is the master reply of England.
