THE SPANISH THRONE.

WARLIKE DECLARATION or Tug FRENCH GOTERNIIIINT.

General Prim has offered the Crown of Spain to the
Prince Leopo'd of HohenzollermSigmaringen, and he
has acoe pted the effer with the greatest eagerness.
Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern is the eldest .on of
the reigning Prince of Hohenzollern, who in 1849 sur-
rendered his sovereign rights to Prussia. His Esther
lives at Dusseldorf, and is considered is • mother of
the Prussian Royal family. The Prince is 35 years el
of age, and was married in 1861 to !aerie, the sister of
the present Ring of Portugal by whom he hu three
sons. His younger brother is Prince Charles of Rou-
mania. In religion he Is • Roman Catholie. He is •
Colonel In the lit Regi.nent of Prussian r oot Guards.
This act of General Prim has greatly surprised his
friends, who are bolding meetires to concert meaeures
for averting, if possible, this disastrous catastrophe.
Spaniards, of all shades of opinion, cannot forget that
the Prince of Hohenzollern is grandson of • Prioress
Woofing to • family which is emended in Spain as
baring caustd torrents of the perest Castilian blood to
he shod.

The Frenob Government hu been completely taken
by incense at the news. The semi-official papers spcak

!Prince at Madrid would be equivalent to tie re-estab•
lishment of the Fmpire f 'haties V. in favour of
'Prussia. The l'atrie goys that Frcich policy I. based
00 respect for nato nal icerereignty, adding that Fiance
strictly elrerves this principle, and cannot consent to
see it disregarded by °then, The Cotsfiiiifioneel ad-
verts to the rumours diffused throughout &irons
previous to September, 1804, to the ilTect that Count
Bismarck inspired the Spanish revoluti ,nary chiefs,
and it recalls the fact that at the same epoch the
Prussian Premier regarded the revolution in Spain as •
meet favourable diversion. The same peper &aka if tbe
present affair is a se,ti..l to the same policy, and says ,
that the candidacy if Prince Ft Acne 'ltem disturbs the
world, and will foment civil war in Spain.
The Regent hen approved of the conduct of General
Prim, and the Cabinet authoikeil the Minister for
Foreign Affairs to open such diplomatic negotiations as
should be de. riled exp.-dient.
The re-assembling of the Spani,ll Cones will take
place on the 22nd of July and the election of a sovereign
on the Ist of August. The Ministerial et+ expect that the
Prince will receive 200 yetis. It is said that the Prinoe
will some toll adrid OD the Int of November, and will
be brought brought from a German port by a Spanish
squadron. Eta civil list would be axed at twenty

At the sitting ef the French Corps Lfigislatif on
Wedneaday evening. the Doc de Gratin:nook replying to
U. flohery's interpellation relative to the undidscy for
the gnomish Throne, spoke as follows :—'• We do not

M. Emile 011ivier added :—" The deelaretion made
-by the Due de Grammont betray. no uncertainty as to
the question whether the Government desires peace or
war. The Government wi.loni for pesos pa.sionately,
but with honour. The Ministry is convinced that the
Due de Grammont's statement will bring about • peace-
ful solution, for whenever Europe is persuaded that
France is Atm in her legitimate duty it does not resist
her desire. There is no question here of • hidden
object, and if a war be necessary the Government will
not enter upon it without the aseent of the Legislative
Body, for we live under a Parliamentary rlgiete.

peesle when we say that we deal.e peace, and when we
give expression to our conviction that if all party dis-
tinc.ions are obliterated there will be peace." The
speech...l of the Ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs
were warmly, and almost unanimously cheered, and
great excitement prevailed.
