THE PRUSSIAN ANNOUNCEMENT.

Bismarck's Diplomatic Circular Announcing
the Declaration of War by France-Napo-
Icons "Pretexts Invented for the OCCASION,
The following is the text of the circular ad-
dressed by the Federal Government to its diplo-
matte agents abroad, announcing that France
declared war to Prussia
BERLIN, July 10, 1S70.-The Imperial Gov
ernment of France has sent to us, through it's
Charge dAffaires, the enclosed document which
contains the declaration OF war; 1t Is the first
official document we have received from the
French Government relative to the grave affair
which has occupied the world for fortnight.
In that document the French Government gives
the following reasons for the war it makes
against us:-Firstly, the refusal of the King to
pledge himself that the advent of a Prussian
prince to the throne of Spain should not take
place with his consents secondly, the alleged
notification to the Cabinets of the refusal by the
King to receive the Ambassador of France, and
to continue negotiations with him. We sum-
marily answer to those allegations that his
Majesty the King, having from respect for the
independence and the autonomy of the Spanish
nation and for the freedom of the resolutions
of the princes of the Hohenzollern house, never
thought of putting Prince Leopold on that
throne, the demands to which his Majesty has
been subjected to obtain assurances for the
future were both unjustfable and arrogant
To have suspicion that he entertained an after
thought of an intention hostile to France was
but gratuitous invention. The alleged notif-
cations to the Cabinets never took place, and
the King never refused to treat with the French
Ambassador. On the contrary, the French
representative never expressed the wish to
enter into official negotiation with the Kiag's
government. 1t was personally, and in a
private conversation with the King at Ems, that
he spoke about the questions referred to- At
home and abroad the German nation has recog-
nized that the efforts of the French Govern
ment had but one alma humiliation, which
the nation cannot bear. 1t has recognized
that war, which Prussia could never have
thought of, was imposed by France. The whole
civilized world will admit that the motives put
forward by France do not exist, that they are
merely pretexts invented for the occasion. The
German Confederation and the allied Govern
ments of Southern Germany protest against an
aggression which never was called for, and
they will repulse it with all themeans God has
given them. You will leave copy of the pre-
sent despatch with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the Government to which you are
accredited. BISMARCK.

TwICkESHAN, June 10, 1s7O-Gentemen: "A pro-
position to aofogate the exceptional measures
which fall heavily ON us has been brought before
you. In the face OF that demand we deem 1t our
duty not TO remain silent Ever since 1S49, under

the law which exies us-one OF mistrust, which
nothing then justified; nor has aught occurred to
render it more excusable since that date, and we
now come forward to renew our protest before the
representatives OF the nation.
IL is not favor which we ask for, but our right
that which belongs to all'Frenchmen, and of which
we only are deprived

HENRI DORLBAEs Duke dAumale.
ROBERT DORLEANs, Duke de Chartres.
The Marquis de Pire moved to respond in
the affirmative to this appeal, but the petition
was referred TO the Committee on Petitions,
who, at the request of NJ. Olivier, about
week later reported unfavorably on the applica-
ton, the Emperor intimatng that the time had
not yet arrived to grant such favor, and add
ing that he will urge the removal of the re-
straipts whenever, in hisEudgment, it is safe and
proper to do so. Yesterday in the Corps Legis-
latif, Deputy Estancelin repeated the motion to
abrogate the decree of Punishment, but it again
failed.
When the candidature of Prince Leopold of
HohenZollern for the throne of Spain was
sprung upon Europe early in July, it was cur
rently reported that the Orleans princes had
hand in bringing it about, which is doubtless
correct as they could readily foresee that it
might result in complications which would give
them the opportunity to return to France, not
as suitors for their rights as Frenchmen at the
hands of Napoleon, but as the undisputed
claimants of the throne. Since the outbreak
OF the war with Prussia it has been reported
that they have been prodigal of their means for
the benefit of the French wounded, reasonable
bid for the sympathy of their countrymen,
| and now that Napoleon has been driven almost
to the wall, they have all joined in demand to
| be permitted to serve the cause of their i'm
perilled country A London cespatch of the 10th
| states that the Duke d'Aumale has offered his
| services to the Emperor, while despatch pub
lished by US yesterday reports that the Prince
| de Joinville has asked leave to serve in the
French fleet. He and the Duke d'Aumale are
now at Weisbaden, awaiting developments, and
| the Count de Paris is in England. In a few days
| it is possible that the whole family may be en-
| abled to return to France and take the reins of
| power which are about falling from the feeble
| grasp of the man who has refused them their
| simple rights as Frenchmen and patriots

Royal Government must eonflne itself, during
actual hostilities, to passive attitude, and OBJ
serve the neutrality demanded by such an atti-
tude. True, that attitude does not exclude the
watching over the security of the monarchy
and of protecting its interests by placing
ourselves in such a position as TO save
1t from every possible danger. We see countries
whose position Is guaranteed by international
stipulation, and who are not slow notwithstand-
ing, to make considerable sacrifices to be
enabled to meet every contingency and 10 pro-
tect themselves. Such examples ought not to
pass without any notice, for they prove how
wide is the conviction that il is not enough to
remain neutral, unless neutral countries are
ready to cause their independence to be
respected in case of need. Most assuredly in
circumstances such as those in which we are
placed feebleness as well as passion can be
a source of danger for the countries
as well as for the Governments. There
are two shoals that a nation ought to
avoid in order not to be repulsed from the wav
traced by her own interests. The Austro-Hun-
garian empire must resist any pressure must be
deaf to any sudden feeling, If it wishes to re-
main the master of its destinies, If it wishes not
to be left to the mercy of events. The sincerest
desire of the imperial and royal governments is
to preserve the monarchy from the eventualities
to which great portion of Europe is exposed
We shall not cease to have that object in view
and all the measures we are taking are dictated
solely by the wish to secure in the meantime the
calmness and the interests of the nations of
Europe. - Won BEUsT.

CONTRABAND OF WAR.
The Coal One stion and Its Vital Importance tn
France-Its International Aspect.

correspondent of the London Times writes
as follows from Berlin, under date of July 26:-
Prussia has q small fleet; France has large
one. But to make a fleet of use it is necessary
to give 1t motive power, and the French are
bent on doing all the mischief they can very
naturally, in the Baltic and along the coasts of
Prussia and Hanover. To prevent and impede
their operations as far as possible, the Prus-
sian authorities have put the lighthouses out
of commission, removed the buoys and left
the coast in darkness and the sea pathess; but
they cannot hinder the enemy from establishing
blockades of great ports and landing forces to
make demonstrations more or less serious
against their inland towns. The French, how
ever, would be obliged to act in stormy seas and
to keep at large far from their supplies. In this
state of things it is reported that the French
have chartered many vessels at Newcastle and
elsewhere TO load with coa with which to sup
ply their feet in the Northern Seas. The news
has caused great commotion in the Cities and
the Prussian authorities have l hear, called
Lord A. Lotus attention to the
transaction in energetic terms regard
ing such an employment of neutral
vessels as breach of neutrality. Undoubtedly,
it would seem that such chartering of neutral
ships would come within the terms of the act of
George II cited in her Majesty's proclamation.
The use of British vessels as 'store-ships' for
beigerents is distinctly forbidden in case of
war. 1t is difficult to argue that vessels char
tered with cargoes OF coal for Che use of French
fleet engaged in hostile operations against
power with which we are at peace, and sent out
to put their cargoes on board that fleet in the
open sea- are not acting as 'store-ships' for an
enemy. 1t is unfortunate that some clear under
standing as to the nature of coal has not been
arrived at by all the great powers. 1t would be
rather stretch of terms to hold that if coal be
contraband of war, the trade in it between
neutrals and belligerents should cease, and
that England, for instance, should not sell coal
to the merchants of France, because the French
Government might buy it for war purposes.
A. -l,1I&
fict on neutrals good deal of the evils of war,
for which they we're not responsible. Horses
may be, and are, considered contraband of war,
but it will be hard to persuade a Yorkshire
breeder that he ought not to sell his horses to
Frenchmen or Prussians because they are fight
ing each other. 1t is obvious that considerable
complications and difficulties may arise from
these questions. / believe that Great Britain is
bound by the French treaty not 10 prohibit the
export of her coal; yet coal is the life of steam,
without which a fleet is of little value"

AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY.
Count Won Beust's ipIomatic Circular on tn
War Crisis-Austria Neutral, but Independen
and Prepared.

Count Won Beust's d diplomatic Circular the
War Crisis-Austria Neutral, but Independent
and Prepared.
The following is the text of the despatch
Count Beust forwarded on the war crisis to the
diplomatic agents abroad of the Austro-Hunga-
rian empire. Itsays:- h
AS soon as the candidature of the Prince of
HohenZollern to the throne of Spain took a turn
menacing the tranquility of Europe, the pre-
servation of peace was the sole object OF our
efforts. We could not think OF assuming the
part of an arbitrator in the conflict that had
burst ont so suddenly, and 1t would not have
become us to pass judgment on the value of the
arguments brought forward by both parties.
Most of the Cabinets, without any concert, have
taken an Identical attitude, and the
Imperial and Royal Government associated
itself with the efforts made from several quarters
to arrive at pacific solution. Absorbed by that
task, to which we devoted our active zeal and
in the hope that the tension would diminish, we
waited until now TO adopt the attitude that
commended itself to us should war become in
evitable between the two powers implicated in
so regrettable quarrel. However, we must
admit now, with O deep regret, that our own
afforts and those made by the other powers hayf
not any further chance OF success. Far from
diminishing. the quarrel has been pushed to sich
a pitch that the boundless passions leave no
pround for an efficacious mediation. The decla-
ration of war by France has reached Berlin, and,
in face of so decisive a fact, | cannot delay any
longer TO give you the instructions yoa are TO
follow-instructions dictated by the interests
and the dignity of the Austro- Hungarian EN-
pire Since we have not succeeded In prevent
ing, tor our own sake and for Europe's sake
the dreadful perturbation which viii be the in
eyitable result of the collision between two
powerful nations, at least we wish TO lessen its
violence To attain that end the Imperial and
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-08-12

ration at the present juncture; but think It
behooves the neutral powers to anticipate all
contingencies, to be on their guard, and, IL
necessary, 10 adopt timely measures"
