Public opinion and . majority of the
French journals are opposed to accepting
the dispatch of the father of the Prince
Hohenzolern to the Spanish government ss
final settlement OF the question. Most of
the journals assert that the ministers went
30 far in their declarations, that peace, with
the direct acknowledgment on the part of
Prussia, would be more shame than q sue
cess for France. The official journals an
nounce peace as settled.
Last evening the Duke de Grammont,
Minister of foreign affairs, announced to the
senate and corps legislstif that the French
Ambassador to Spain had officially made
known the renuncis ion of Prince Hohenzoll-
ern of the Spanish crown. "The negotia-
tions which we have been pursuing with
Prussia" the Duke said, "hsve had no other
object, bu, they have not yet tern mated !;
so it is impossible to-day to furnish the
Chambers and country with general expose
OF affairs" The senate received this state
ment coldly. The Duke then asked the
senate to postpone discussion on the inter-
pellation until Saturday next, because to-
day has been set apart for discussion in the
protested, but on the request Of Rouher, the
proposition was assented to.
The journals yesterday gave the details Of
the military preparations, which are still
continued. Last night three or four hun
dred students made demonstration in the
streets while returning from . public ball.
They shouted "Vive France down with
Prussia ~ and sapr he "Marseillaise' with.
out interruption by the police.
BERLIN, July l5.-The disposition of the
people Of Prussia seems to be calm. serious
and resolute TO fight for the national honor.
The Borzen Zeitung says war is sure, be-
cause France wants it. The Borsen Courier
says the French pretensions are q direct
insult to Prussia and King William. War
is inevitable.
ROME, July l5.-In the Ecumenicsl
Council yesterday the dogma of infalibility
was adopted by q vote of $50 alternatives to
SS negatives and &C conditional.
BRUSSELS, July Is The French Emperor
is dissatisfied with the mere withdrawal OF
Hehenzollern, and persists that Prussia
shall formally disavow the cafdidsture.
The King of Prussia formally refuses,
alleging that, to sccede to this would only
produce more eItrsvsgsnt demands from
France
LONDON, July l5.-The feeling through
out Europe is still one of general unessi-
ness. The tone of the Official papers of
France is eminently pacific, but that of the
other journals is hostile and wsrlike. The
want of confidence at the exchanges of the
various European capitals is fair reflex of
the public sentiment.
The Telegraph this morning says
Though the Prince Hohenzollern renounces
his osndidsture, and the King of Prussia
indorses that renunciation, still il is too early
to believe in peace. The formal reply of
Prussia to that effect is the only thing that
will restore confidence. The only response
thus far has been naughty, offensive and
e1treme-doubslsss designed to be firm and
dignihed."
Espsrsero denies ever having urged Gen.
Prim in favor of Alfonso in preference to
Leopold.
EMS, Nassau, July l5.-The French
Ambassador yesterday demanded an audi
ence of the King of Prussia, to exact that
Hoheuzollern's remuneration be perpetual,
and that the royal veto be applied to any
fresh approach to the Prince on the subject
of the Spanish crown. The King declined
to receive the Ambassador, and assured him
through an sidede camp that he had no
further communication to make.
