The journal 0fficiel publishes q circu-
lar of the Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
dated July 81, addressed to diplomatic
agents of France at foreign capitals.
The circular mentions explanations
made on the 18th of July in regard to
the rapid events of negotiation, in
which as fast as we redoubled our efforts
to preserve peace, secret designs were
developed of an adversary resolved to
render peace impossible. Whether the
Berlin Cabinet had judged war necessary
for the accomplishment of their projects
against the self government of the
German States, or were barely satisfied
at having established in the center
of Europe a military power formidable
to all neighbors, they had wished to turn
to account a power already acquired, by
displacing definitely to the advantage Of
Prussia the international equilibrium.
The premeditated intention to refuse US
guarantees, which were indispensable to
our security as well as our honor, showed
itself by the strongest evidence in the
conduct of the negotiations. The cir
cular then mentions the candidature Of
Prince Hohenzollern, and declares that
the Berlin Cabinet had hoped to place
the Prince on the throne of Charles the
Fifth by surprise, believing Europe
would accept it as an accomplished fact.
France, in spite of her temporary dis
pleasure, would hesitate to oppose the
expressed will of the Spanish people,
who were friendly to her. The French
Government, informed of the threatened
damage from this intrigue, did not hest
tate to denounce it to the representatives
of the people or to foreign powers. All
have felt that Prussia was alone in her
INSCRIPTIONS policy, and that knowing
herself to be without the support of COM
mon right, she has, nevertheless, sought
to impose upon Europe the further
abuse of SO dangerous on extension of
her influence. France took up the cause
of power, knowing it to be the cause of
all people manacled [menaced] like her.
self, by the disproportionate ~aggrandize-
ment Of n royal house. In 80 doing,
she has not placed herself in opposition
to her own maxims and policy, or to
those of the great powers. The circular
cites as proof the cases Of Belgium,
Greece and Naples, and the refusal of
the great powers TO allow any of their
Princes to mount those thrones. The
circular then mentions the withdrawal of
Hohenzollern and the refusal of Prus-
STA to give guarantees, and other Incl
dents which have followed, adding that
France ought to demand guarantees,
since Prussia had already given her
positive word that Prince H~ohenzollern
should not mount the throne of Spain,
when, in March, 1869, there was a ques-
ton of his c~andidature. AT that time
the French Minister at Berlin told the
King that no Prussian could reign in
Spain. Count . Bismarck replied that
France need not concern herself at q con
tingency SO improbable, and Herr Won
Thiel, Prussian Under Secretary for For
eign Affairs, gave his word of honor that
q Hohenzollern was not and could not be
a candidate. If assurance SO solemn can
not be relied on, diplomatic intercourse
must cease. In regulating such pledges,
Prussia challenges France, who o only
demands, in view of previous %tergiyersa-
