/ BERLIN, July "A, via London.-The
only written document which Prussia
has received from France since the be-
| ginning of the quarrel, reached Berlin
on Tuesday, the 13th inst, and was
declaration of war. It declares the
Emperor of France is obliged to con-
slider the proposal to elevate Prus-
! sian Prince to the throne of
Spain, as an attack on the
security of France. and he desires
Prussia to disavOW the scheme. This
! Prussia refused to do, reserving her
right to be governed by circumstances.
/ The Emp peror SAYS he is forced To
consider this determination as equally
menacing TO France and European
equilibrium, and particularly as is was
rendered more significant by Prussian
communication made by Prussia to
the Cabinets of Europe, giving an ac-
| count OF a refusal tOreceive the French
Ambassador. The paper concludes:
'The French Government therefore
| is taking steps for the defense of its
honor and interests, aud having
adopted all measures which circum-
stances render necessary, considers
1 itself at war with Prussia eirv
