New York, July 10.--A London dispatch says it is now known that an understanding has been arrived at between Russia, Germany and England, and that each nation is to have its share in the spoils of the sick man. France can not object as she fears Germany, and Austria is now so crippled that she durst not fight without Great Britain at her back. It is understood that Russia will be satisfied with Armenia and the independence of the principalities on the Danube. England is to receive Egypt and Cyprus. Crete is to be handed over to Greece. Germany's share of the spoils is supposed to be the Baltic provinces of Russia. Others apprehend that Germany will be allowed to further dismember Austria by adding the 8,000,000 Germans to the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm.
