BERLIN, June 5.

The Saxon Minister at this Court has presented
to Count Bismark a despatch from Baron von
Beust, replying to the statement of the Prussian
Government that the Saxon armaments had partly
been the cause of the armaments of Prussia.

The despatch says : " No warlike preparations
took place in Saxony either in the first or in the
second fortnight of March. The 14th of April may
be taken as the date when the armaments or rather
preparations against a surprise from Prussia com-
menced, that being the day when the purchases of
horses were ordered ; the soldiers on furlough were
only called in on the 6th and the reserves on the
7th May. Count Bismarck has already stated in
his despatch to the Prussian Minister at Stuttgard,
dated May 22, that the Prussian armaments had
commenced at the beginning of March."
