The Emperor has addressed the following proclama.
tion to the French people :—" Frenchmen,—There ale
solemn momenta in the lives of people, when the
nation ml honour, violenly excited, imposes itself with
irresistible force, dominates all interest, and alone takes '
in hand the direction of the destinies of the it .untry.
One of those decisive hour. has sounded for Franoe.
Prussia, to whion botit during and sines the war of
phti, we have shown the moat conciliatory di.po.ition,
hae taken no account of our good with°, and our for. ,
bearance. I..anthed on the path of invasion, the has
aroas-d defiance, everywhere necessitated exaggerated
armement% end has turned Europe into a camp, where
nothing but uncertainty and fear of the morrow reigns.
A lasi incident has COMO to show the instability of
internatonal relations, and to prove the gravity of the
Situation. In presents of the new pretensions of
Prussia we made our protestations to be heard. They
were evaded, and were followed on the part of Prussi•
by contemptuous proceedings. Our c iunt•y has re-
lented this with profound irritation, and immediate ly
a eiT fur war resounded from ore end of France to the
other. It only remains to uto confide our destinies to
the leot.inti of arms. We do not make war on Ger.
whine independence we respect. Let us wish
that the peoples who pompom the great German
natiouslity may freely dispose of their destinies. For

future. We with to conquer a lasting peace based on
the true interests of peoples, and to put an ed to the

fe•,..l,te. to .Tra themselves one against the other.
The clotinus Mg which we on., more unfurl before
'Om. who hose peon, keel us is the same which bore
throughout Europe the civilising ideas of our greet
