Duke de Grammont has issued another
circular, reaffirming that aggressive pro-
positions originated in Berlin. France
made none. On the contrary, she COM
menced her disarmament. Count Bis
marck based his proposals on his anxiety
about the plans Of Russia, giving details,
which Duke de Grammont temporarily
withholds. The Duke concludes: 'Ow-
ing to the falsehoods which Bismarck
has already uttered through fear, he has
lost all claims to be believed hereafter.
PARIS, August 4.
The journal 0fficiel publishes a diplo-
matte circular of Grammont, on disarma-
ment. The document, after refuting the
statements of Bismarck, terminates thus:
IF Europe remains armed, if a million
men are on the eve of the shock of battle,
it can not be denied that the response.
bility is Prussia's, as she repulsed all
idea of disarmament when we caused the
proposal TO be made. AT that hour, when
France confdingly reduced her military
contingent, the Cabinet Mt Berlin was
secretly organizing the candidature of
Prussian Prince for the throne OF Spain.
History will say Prussia sought the war
by inflicting upon France interference
with the development OF her political in
stitutions, an outrage no nation could ac-
cept without incurring contempt.
