PARIS, Oct. 25, 1868.
The new map or Europe and General PRINTS letter
to Monsieur de Girardin are. the two productions
which most interest Partisan politicians. The
former shows that France has no reason to CON-
plain even after the changes on the other side OF
the Rhine much less warranted also in expenditure
on excessive ornaments, for she Is more powerful
by alliances and free IN her movements than ever
when possessing vast territory. The conduct Of the
French Cabinet, as regards Spain, cannot be too
highly Appreciated there Is not so much as desire
expressed respecting the future Spanish government
and any allusion attributed to either the
Emperor or Empress is instantly denied. Thus,
o report spread a few days ago that the
Empress had preference for Don Carlos and would
support hs pretensions to the title OF king but an
official paper contradicted this by saying .that the
Empress wished it to be known she entertained no
project distinct from that OF the government Of
France.n
The letter writing from statesmen, or men OF the
day In Spain to French Journalists Is deeply to be
regretted However retcent the writer and however
attering the tribute TO the power OF the press still
the principle Of controversy on which these commu-
nicatons based leads far away from the will OF
Spain. The French may be proud OF this acknowl-
edgement Of their influence, but dtplomatists are
earnestly gratifed that General Prim should have
concluded his letter to the Lfberte with the assur
ance that 1t is his last. Notwithstanding these
objections General PRINTS views testify solid good
sense. He opposes his practical ideas to projects
