q conditional alliance has been concluded be-
tween France and Italy, and that the new
treaty stipulates that in case of certain even
Qualities France is to pay to Italy $1,000, 900
francs, and leave her free to make Rome the
capital of the kingdom.
PARIS, July 2S-Midnight. The Emperor
arrived at 4P. NJ. at Metz, where the impe-
rial headquarters are established. A procla-
nation to the army will be issued tomorrow.
There are still some hopes of peace. Ne
gotiations of some sortarep roceedingactively.
Lord Lyons is constantly with the Duke de
Gramont.
CHERBouRo, July 2S.-The second division
of the Baltic fleet is still in port. More IRON
clads will arrive from Brest, and the Mediter-
ranean feet, under Vice-Admiral F%ounchon,
comprising together seven ships. Prince
Napoleon will command the Baltic expedi-
tionary corps. All the troops for this corps
will not be in Cherbourg for a week, by which
time the two main divisions of the fleet
will begin the attack at some point on the
Prussian coast.
LONDON, July 2S.-The floor, galleries,
and Hobbies of the House of Lords we're
crowded tonight with privileged spectators
anxious to hear the statement of the Govern
ment's position in the present war.
Earl Granville said the Government was
embarrassed by the explosive material lying
around it, with matches ready lighted, the
efforts to extinguish which had been useless,
though Lord Lyons had been able to hold
back this declaration of war for five days.
The incident at Ems between Count Bene-
detti and the King of Prussia was remark
able, but no insult was intended. All OBJ
servance of the Paris protocol, which pro-
vides for the settlement of disputes by medi-
alton, was repudiated by both parties.
in the presence of this war England had
but one duty to observe-stric neutrality.
Bismarck, in a despatch to the North Ger
man ambassador in England, confirms the
authenticity of the recent treaty published in
the London Times. He says since 1866
France has necessarily tempted Prussia with
offers of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT at the
expense of Belgium and South Germany. He
is confident that France will not obtain any
enlargement of territory even by fighting for
it, and says that if the disclosure made by the
Times had been withheld, France, though
fully armed, would have repeated her offer of
peace at the cost of the extinction of the
kingdom of Belgium.
BRUSSELS, July 2S.-The Iadepcndanc
Beige of this city to-day publishes a letter
from its Berlin correspondent which throws
some new light on the secret treaty proposed
to Prussia by France. The correspondent
says he has seen the original draft of the
treaty in the archives of the War Office at Der
lin, and ~certifies to the accuracy of the copy re
Gently printed by the London Times. France
has frequently demanded this document from
the Prussian Government through her repre-
sentative at Berlin, Count Benedict, but il
all cases has been refused; and now that sh,
is satisfied that its recovery is impossible
assumes a hostile attitude towards Prussia.
