A GERMAN VI EW OF ENGLAND'S FUTURE.

A Correspondrnt of the 'Morning Post' translates for that journal a forecast of ' England's future, from a German point of view,' which lately appeared m ' Kladderadatsch.' Some of our readers may find it amusing : — English journals intimate that if Russia were quietly to appropriate Kar. and the whole of Armenia, British interests would not be affected. Rnssia retains possession of Kars ?nd Armenia. According co English newspapers the features of the war would havn no prejudicial effeci, as regaid. England,- should Russia take an I keep Constantinople and Asia Minor. .Russia seizes Constantinople and j annexes Asia Minor. The English press makes public the opinion that if Russia forcibly possessed herself of the Suez C-mal and Egypt, England could have no reasonaole objections to offrfr, for she bas always the s» fer road for the defence of India round by the Cape. Russia occupies Egypt and seizes tbe Sens Caual. English newspapers openly state that if Russia were to conquer India it would be only a matter for congratulation, as she costs no end of money, and is a heavy burden to England. Russia takes India. English papers begin to touch on the probability of a Russian invation of -England. General raerrisment is caused by this. A vas Russian army, however, effects a lauding, conquers England, and abolishes the English pi ess. Eugland now consists only of Heligoland, which the German empire, out of a feeling of regard, allows to remain undisturbed.
