wished peace and we have war. If we had sui 10
require the renunciation of the HOhenzolern candl
dature, should be with you, but now that we have
obtained that, we demand something else. You had
notonly obtained your result you had form and sub
stance both yet you say Prussia has not yielded in
form, and we have been insulted. Public opinion
will turn against u.s. the journals of Europe will be
against u.s. Prussia never would have resumed this
candidature. 1t would have been madness.
Due DE GRAMMoNT: Why, then, did she not promise'
NJ. ARAGo: Because you challenged her.
NJ. THEIRS: She refused, because you began all. l
know well that shock your feelings, but know
there is the heart Of the question have heard my
opinions echoed on all sides.
Great clamors here arose. and NJ THEIRS, in reply
to the interruptions, declared that he would only
Weld the tribune to violence" He then resumed:
We no longer live in the peace at any price times;
to demand at any price is the servity of cour-
tier. But am of no party.
NJ. DAVID accused Theirs of wanting patriotism
and bringing misfortune upon France. lCries of
"Orderp on the Left.
NJ. THEIRS: Misfortune upon France! 1t is not
who have caused it, 1t is they who would not listen
to our warnings you who voted Mexico and Sadowa.
Had you but permitted US to discuss now under
liberal regime, would you refuse to hear mel You
shall not hinder me from speaking; my duty is to
pour light on great fault.
Nothing could be so significant as such speech
from THEIRS who has constantly shown jealous dis
like of Prussia, readiness for war on any reasona-
BILE pretext and belief that France ought to do as
she likes in Europe Not word Of this speech ,cas
aoced TO reach England by telegraph There has been
a systematic effort to deceive Europe about public
opinion in France respecting war, and to deceive
France about the opinions of Europe kilograms to
English papers during the past week have misrepre-
sented the tone of the French independent press
and suppressed the manifestations against war;
The French kilograms declared that the French
press was all for war; This is true only of the Coy
eminent organs The D@bats, Temps, Rappel, Steele
RerGl, and Coche are all strongly opposed to it, The
most eminent Republican leaders were for peace!
Louis Blanc in the Temps and RdppeL protested with
matchless vgor and ability against this last imperial
crime. Even journals like the Figaro, mere organs
of what is popular to-day, have given but doubtful
support to the Government An immense majority
of the provincial journals resisted war. The demon
STATIONS on the Boulevard were police work; the
students took little part in what was attributed to
them A letter in the Rappel shows that the dispo-
siton of the Liberal party, as whole, throughout
France is against the war, but they can no longer
oppose it, Popular not i'll its origin the war fever
runs high for the moment and not even the French
exiles want to see France beaten. kilograms to the
French papers similarly misrepresented the English
press Some journals at the beginning were in
clined toward France in the hope that Prussia
would yield, and the kilograms give what was said
against Prussia but suppress everything against
France The press censorship was never more active
and INSCRIPTIONS. In spite of its first wavering the
English press now, without exception, charges
France with the responsibility for war. The Due de
Grammonts statement, with all its falsehoods, i'm
poses on nobody. The interview between Benedict
and the King is perfectly understood as premed-
tated insult by Benedict, and violation of every
diplomatic usage, while Prussias dignited attitude
under repeated provocatons has won her the SYM
pathy of Europe. G.w.s.
