man Observation-Disclosures News
| The steamship City of Washington, from Liver
pool 10th, and Queenstown 30th August, arrived al
| New York on Tuesday afternoon.
| The following the most important points oil
her news:
FRANCE.
PARIS, August 27th.-There will be no meeting
between the Emperor and the Queen of Spain this
year.
The considerable falling off in the customs duties
during the months ofthe present year hav-
ing caused some uneasiness in financial circles an
official explanation has been published to the effect
that it is caused by the reduction ir duty on raw
material and produce.
PARIS, Tuesday, Aug. 2S.-The Court de Persig-
ny, in his capacity of President, opened to-day the
slttngs of the General Council of the Department
OF the Loire with speech of which the following
is n summary:
The Count commenced by observing that he was
about to examine the existing probabilities of peace
being maintained in Europe and said
The Emperor's programme of Bordeaux has not
been changed Without pretending to abolish war
the Emperor has, however, repudiated the inheri
tance of mere fighting for the sake of vengeance
for the defeats of the first Empire. Before the
inauguration of the present Empire two extraord-
nary questions were pending, viz the question of
the East, that of Italy, neither of which could be
resolved by means of diplomacy Although the
avoided they were carried out with promptitude
and the Emperor succeeded in realizing the object
for which they were undertaken.
The destruction of Sevastopol prevented Russia
from taking possession of Constantinople and the
Eastern question was confided to the charge of uni
ted Europe.
As regards the war in Italy, the Italian States
were delivered from Austrian domination, and the
principal object of the war was thus obtained AL
though the Italians jeopardize the independ-
ence which they acquired in consequence of the war;
the principle of Observation-Disclosures a recognized
rule of international policy, exercises dominating
influence over the further developments of the
question.
1hese are the only questions which occupy the at
tenIioh of Europe at the present moment.
Inc aPnrehensOns entertained in Germany re-
spectng the Rhine frontiers and the fears of an in
vason current IN England do not merit serious dis
cusSion.
P. Inc knlne k Is no longer a strategic frontier.
France being much stronger when Germany is di-
Vlded, VIII never support the project of German
unity for any compensation she might obtain.
Concerning the relations between England and
France, neither of these two Powers desires to en-
ter upon such terrible struggle as a war between
them would be. The English nation is peaceful
Their virtuOus Queen and the eminent mtn in pow
er desire to maintain good understanding be-
tween the two nations. In view of so many great
results obtained by France, and the ustre which
they throw around the French nation, it is natu
raj that uneasiness and distrust should have arisen
in Europe.
tiOns in Italy, neither did she counsel Austria to
follow the fatal policy which led to the rising of
the Italians nor is she responsible for the treaties
which Austria concluded with the Italian Princes.
France used every possible effort to prevent the
conflict. If the Emperor kept silence before the
outbreak OF the war, in reference his promises
repulse the attacks of Austria upon Italy, it was
with the motive of leaving the Italians in igno-
rance of his powerful assistance, which, had they
been aware ofit, would have spread increased ex-
element among them.
Thus the silence with which the Emperor has
been reproached disadvantageous to himself
alone.
The same can be said in reference to the eession
of Savoy and Nice to France.
The Italians, after the conclusion of the peace of
Nlllatranca, having acted in violation of that
treaty on the other side of the Alps, France could
not renounce her Alpine frontiers, seeing that
great Italian kingdom had been constituted
France has never concealed her intentions, either
from Sardinia or from England. She has deceived
nobody.
The Emperor has certainly replaced France in
her legitimate position, without shaking the conf
dence of Europe. Taken whole, the policy was
pure and honest. If he has made in Italy, it
was only because the other Powers not willing
to engage on their own responsibility. As soon as
it was possible to arrive at definite result, he
concluded the peace desired by the world.
Since 1915 France has been forced to follow the
role imposed upon her by the treaties of Vienna
Another spirit reigns, and the political system
of 1915 has been subverted by Europe herself
This system was the result of violent transition,
which by two great conyulsOus entirely disturbed
the European equilibrium.
Since then it has been the great interest of Eu.
rope that general reconciliation should be effect
ed between the different Powers, and that France
should, by common consent, resume the position
which belonged to her in the Councils of the Pow
ers. She no longer threatens nor is threatened
Her work is achieved and the mission of the new
empire is accomplished.
The military role of France in Europe is at an
end. 1t affords me great happiness to be conscien
tiously able to say that an era of peace and pros
perty Is now opening for Europe.
The WOniteur contains the following telegram,
dated Chambery, the 9th inst. evening:
Their Majesties have arrived and have been re-
ceived with enthusiasm.
