BNABATED WAR PREPARATIONS In
FRANCE.
Hopes Expressed OF an AmIcabIe
settlement Of the Question.
Great Excitement throughout Europe

BERLIN, July 10.-Military men
here appear excited about the Span
ish imbroglio. Il is not thought pos
sible that war will result from it.
The PruSsidn Gross Gazette, a min
isterial organ, disapproves of Gram .
mont's declaration in the French
Chamber, and says he must know, as
every one does, that the King of Prus-
sia and heads of the Confederation
are all Indifferent to the elevation of
Leopold to the Spanish throne. He
had no right, in the absence of evil
denee, to charge another power with
disposition TO disturb wantonly the
European equilibrium since Hohen-
zollern is a free agent, and may or
may not accept the crown. His de-
cision will not affect Prussia's neu-
trality.
PARIS, July 10. 5P.M.-The excite
ment on the Bourse is unabated.
Rentes continue to decline, and are
quoted at SO francs 25 centimes.
According to the latest news nego-
tiatioDs continue, but it is impossible
to say what will be the result.
L
Hohenzollern had settled the whole
question by withdrawing his accept
ance of Prim's offer, but the C0RSti-
tutiOnnet, In an extra, contradicts the
rumor. and adds the following COM
ments: The Prussian journals say
their government has been a stranger
to the candidacy of the Prince. If
this was so, the Prussian Government
should now prove its sincerity by
forcing the Prince to renounce the
offer"
The Prince is under the authority
of the King of Prussia, and the lat
ter thus bas the peace Of Europe In
his hands. The answer of Prussia is
expected tonight or to morrow. If it
is unsatisfactory, the necessary meas
ures to enforce with arms the right of
France, will Immediately be taken.
Already the government is preparing
for an emergency.
A telegram from Ems says: Count
Bendetti, the French Ambassador,
before his interview with King Will
liam, saw the Baron Werther, Prus-
sian Ambassador at Paris, who had
come to Ems to consult with the
King. The Baron told the French
Minister that the government
of Prussia was profoundly sur
prised at the attitude of France.
1t could not comprehend this haste
to assume hostility, except as a veri-
fication of-the belief that France had
for a long time desired war on the
Rhine"
A Vienna dispatch states that the
Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs
received with coldness, a communica-
ton from Spain relative to the candi-
dature of Leopold, and in his reply
to the Spanish Minister, he dwelt upon
the Ill OBJECT such surprise could not
but produce. Belgium journals pro-
nounce as calumny the statement
that the King Of Belgium had any
part in procuring the offer of
Prim or inducing its acceptance.
The GdulOis has a report that
Prince Napoleon has gone to Copen-
hagen to make a proposition for a
treaty of alliance with Denmark and
Sweden.
While negotiations are going on
with great activity, the French gov
ernment makes no attempt to conceal
its warlike preparations.
The Emperor remains at st. Cloud,

A large number of army and naval
officers, who were In Paris on leave,
have disappeared, and doubtless were

francs tne, for violation of the press
law, and offence against the Emperor.

from Madrid.
Reports say the Unionists in the
Cortes will vote against IIohenzollern,
unless the question becomes inter-
national.
The Imperial publishes an account
of an interview between Sagosta and
Baron Mereier, the French Ambas-
sador. SagOsta complained that
France opposed all nominations for
the throne save that of the Prince of

under the influence of Prussia, and
regretted the susceptibility of the
French Government.
The report in the Paris Gaulois
that Espartero pronounced against
HoheDzolleren. and called on his

tradiction is given on the best au-
thority.
