The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-08-31
THE CONTINENT.
The French Atlantic Cable.

The Moniteaw publishes the following note:-
"In a letter addressed to the Frdnce OF the 18th
of August NM Blackmore aud Eugene DeleSsert
peIs st in affirming that oral we'll as written
engagements had been entered into with them,
and that tney have legal right to the Conces-
sion of the submarine telegraph to the United
States. The Government repels such inainua-
tions as entirely erroneous. The Admlnlatra-
ton, which III such matters has been caretul TO
employ only the regular and unimpeachloe
methods of public tender, to which II has had
recourse three times, awaits and hopes that the
claimants will at last decide on carrying their
complaints before the Council OF State, which Is
the only jurisdiction in such difference. A
longer hesitation on their part wolll be tacit
admission of the absuTdItY OF their pretensions."
War RumOrs.
The Temps regrets TO say that its correspond
ehce from Berlin, Vienna, aud Madrid is OF
yery Warllke tone. The interview between the
Car and the King of Prussia is considered very
significant. The Wdnderer of Vienna says that
the recent attacks OF the Russian pres on Prus-
sia we're but max to avert attention from the
close relations OF the two Powers. Now that
they are ready they drop the mask, aud the
interview between the two sovere'gns reveals to
the world the fact OF their close intimacy. The
Auenlr NdItOnGi hopes that IN the lace OF such
grave facts France is not going to engage in "a
mad enterprise against Germany" Such an
enterprise could only succeed "sy having Aus
tra as an ally, aud the late visit of Prince
Napo con has proved that Austria cannot or Will
not aid us against Prussia"
An UItimatum,
M. E. Girardin, in the Llberte Of August ls,
puts forward the uitlmatum OF France in the
following demands: I'VE demand tnat the
work of 1929 should be resumed, and that
negotiations should be opened with Prussia on
this basis:-Prussia to be allowed to incor oorate
the whole of the Saxon territory, as she has
incorporated Hanover under the condition that
she will concur III and actively promote the
formation of FrancO-Germau State, cOmpre-
bendiug Belgium, Rhenioh holland, Rhenish
Prussia Rhenish Hesse, and Rhenish B4-
rulpd
SaXOny, under the title of "Klng of
the Kline Country or some such name. Again,
Fra0ce would have no objection that instead of
one kinedom OF about 1000 900 Of people there
should be two-leaVing the kine OF the Belgiaus
as he is at present with his 100000 subjects,
and creating new kingdom OF the Kline lan1s
with 4,534.000 inhabitants. ln case Prussia
should refuse TO accede To this pacdc arrange
ment, we demand that France should no longer
hesitate IN pushing the line Of her actual from
tier 10 that OF her natural frontier. We demand,
in q word, what we last year called our share
OF the rlVer.'"
