A Ministerial Expose of the French
Attitude. %
PARIS. July 6.-In the Corps Lsgislatit
to day Duke Gramont said it was true that
Gsn. Prim had offered the throne of Spain
TO Prince Hohenzollern, who had accepted
it, but the people of Spain had not pro-
nounced on the transaction, and France
had yet to know the details of the affairs
which had been conducted in secresy. The
French Government would persist in
its policy of neutrality, bat under
no pretext would it permit the German
Powers to place one Of its Princes on the
throne Of Charles V. He hoped, however,
that prudence in Germany and wisdom in
Spain would avert extremities.
Paris journals oppose the project ot
Gen. Prim.
