War In Europe.


The Koniteur has published another semi-oiti-
cial article on the relations of France and Ger
many. After dsclairling any intention OF the
part Of the French Government, of interfering
with the independence OF the Germanic Confed-
Grafton. the Konitelr says:
''The French Government has nothing 10 con-
ceal, because it mas nothing 10 disown. The Pc
siton it has assumed in the Italian question, far
from wa-ranting the distraction in Germany,
ought, on the contrary, to inspire it with conf
dence. France could not think Of attacking in
Germany what il wishes TO shield in Italy. Her
policy. which disowns all ambition for conquests,
follows only the rules laid down by international
law-rhe happiness Of people and the interests
of Europe. In Germany as in Italy, it wishes
nationaities, recognized 10y treaties, 10 be main
tanned aud strengthened, because it considers
them as one of the essential bases of order in
Europe To represent France as hostile to Ger
man nationality is not OILY an error, but con-
t-adicton. The Government Of the Emperor
has for ten years exerted its influence 10 remove
difficulties and settle them equitsbly.'
