The Text Of Thisrs' Debate in the CORPS
LsgiSIatif.
NEW YORK, July lS.-The ITi6uls''
correspondent telegraphs that not ont
word of Thiers' remarkable speech
was allowed to reach England by tele-
graph; that there has been a SYSTEM
attic scheme afioat to deceive Europe
about public opinion in France re
specting the war, and deceive France
about the opinions of Europe. The
telegrams to English papers during
the mast week have misrepreSented
the tone of the French independent
press, and suppressed manifestations
against war. The press censorship
was never more active aud unscru-
pulous, in spite of its first warning.
The English press now, without eXcep-
fion, charges France with the respOn-
sibiiity for war.
1t appears that after Grammont's t's
declaration a demand was made fOl
the dispatches, Olivier, after re
fusing 10 give them, was compelled
to admit that France had finally de-
clared war on account of the PruSsian
dispatch communicating TO European
courts the Kings refusal to receive
the French Ambassador, and that this
dispatch, thus made the basis of war,
had not been seen by any French
minister. The government had, in
fact, declared war on what purpOrted
to be an abstract of that dispatch,
supplied by two French spies, whose
names were withheld.
When the war was announced, the
left refused to join in the shouts of the
majority. When the majority voted
an extra war credit of 800, 600, ,000
francs, the left again sat silent. Theirs,
after declaring his love for his country
and patriotic determination when war
should be declared, to grant to the
Government the means of eOnquering,
said: "Our duty is to reflect. The re
ceptiOn you have Just adopted is the
death of thousands Of men. One in
slant, l beseech you, of reflection.
Bethink you of May S, 1868. You re-
fused then to hear me when sought
to show what was about to happen.
Let that recollection persuade you to
listen now. The principal demand of
the Government has been conceded.
NY conscience tells me l fulfill duty
in resisting imprudent passions, and
representing sOberly the country's in
terests. In this is it for you to break
the peace on the mere question of sus-
ceptibility? You are shedding tor
rents of blood for the question of form.
If l had the honor to govern my
country, should have wished to give
it time for reflection. l regard this
war as an imprudence, and its Occa-
sion as ill-chOsen."
After the dispatches upon which the
declaration was made had been re-
peatedly demanded and as often re-
fused. Olivier said: 81 will read two
dispatches, but not the signatures, for
our agents would be sent away" He
then read part Of one confirming the
refusal of King William to receive
the French ambassador, and two dis
patches nom French agents abroad,
giving the substance of Bismark'S 5 cir
Cular. The circular itself NJ. Olivier
did not pretend to produce, and con-
cluded by saying: ave go to war
with a light heart and confident in
our army. We will tell the whole
truth. What we could not endure
was the semi-ofhcial communication
TO all Europe of the rejection of our
ambassador, all the more significant
because done in the most courteous
terms."
Thiers replied to Olivier: " 1t is
TO a blunder that we owe the war with
Prussia. She ought to have been
attacked when she desired to unite
the German States; then war would
have been legitimate and we would
have been sustained. l blamed Sado-
wa at the time; to-day the world de-
mands legitimate complaints. Prus-
sia also has committed a great fault
in negotiating with Spain, yet Prus-
sia wished peace and here we have
war; if we had still to require her
to renOunce the action of the Hohen-
ZOllern candidature, / should still be
with you. But now, that we have OBJ
tanned that, i've demand something
else. You had not only obtained your
results, but you had form and sub
stance both, yet you say that Prussia
has not yielded in form and we have
been insulted. Public opinion will be
against US, the journals of Europe
will be against us. Prussia would
never have resumed this candidature.
1t would have been madness"
