eiGn Affairs On the Situation.
PiRIs, July 22.-The Journal 06'eiel
publishes q circular Of the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, dated July 81, ad-
dressed to the diplomatic agents of
France at the foreign capitals. The
circular mentions that the explanations
made on the 18th Of July In the Cham
beers, in regard to the rapid events Of
negotiation, in which as fast as We re-
doubled our efforts to preserve peace,
secret designs of our adversary were
developed, showing that they had re-
solved to render peace impossible.
Whether the Berlin Cabinet had judged
war necessary fol- the accomplishment
of Their projects against self-govern-
ment, the German States are hardly
satisfied at having established In the
centre of Europe a military power
formidable to all neighbors. They had
wished to turn to account the power
already acquired by displacing def
nitely to the advantage Of Prussia the
lntimation of an equilibrium. The
premeditated intention to refuse us
guarantees which were indispensable
to u security as we'll as our honor,
showed itself by the strongest evidence
in the conduct of the negotiations.
The circular then mentions the can
didature of Prince Hohenzollern, and
declares that the Berlin Cabinet hoped
to place the Prince on the throne Of
Charles v by surprise, believing Eu-
rope would accept the accomplished
fact, and France, in spite Of her tenn
porary displeasure, would hesitate to
oppose the expressed will Of the Span
ish people, who were friendly to her.
The French Government, informed Of
the damage from this intrigue, did not
hesitate to denounce 1t to the repre-
sentatives of the people, or to foreign
powers. All have felt that Prussia
was alone in her INSCRIPTIONS policy,
and that, knowing herself to be with
out the support Of common right, she
has nevertheless sought to impose upon
Europe the further abuse Of so danger
Gus on extension of her influence.
France took up the cause Of the bal
ance of power, knowing it to be the
cause Of all people manacled BY
thrones.
The circular then mentions the with
drawal of Hohenzollern and the re-
fusal Of Prussia to give guarantees,
and other incidents which have fol-
lowed, adding that France ought tode-
mand guarantees, since Prussia had
already given her word that Prince
Hohenzollern should not mount the
throne of Spain, when In March, 1859,
there had been a question of his candi-
dature. At that time the French Min
ister at Berlin told the King that no
Prussian could reign in Spain. Count
Bismarck also replied to France that
she need not concern herself at a con-
tingency so improbable; and Herr
Won Thiele, the Prussian Under Sec
rotary Of Foreign Affairs, gave his
word Of honor that q H~ohenzollern
was not and could not be a candidate.
If assurance so solemn cannot be relied
upon, diplomatic intercourse must
cease. In repudiating such pledges,
Prussia challenges France, who now
only demands in view Of previous ter
giversations, that the formers renun-
citation of her designs be made real
and permanent.
The circular concludes by disclaim-
ing that history must assign to Prussia
The responsibility Of the war, which
she had the means Of avoiding, and
which, while she affects to deplore, she
has rather sought.
The circular adds: "Under those
circumstances, Europe has been wit
ness; let Europe pronounce upon the
Justice of our cause"
