ENTHUSIASM DYING; OUT IN FRANCE.
LONDON, August "A Paris correspond
ent Of the Daily Ne~< writes on Tuesday
that the enthusiasm for war has entirely dis
appeared in Paris. II is now evident that
war with Germany means a prolonged arug-
gle against one million Of armed combat
ants determined 10 defend their own country
and If possible give the French such lesson
that hereafter the Empcror's peculiar mode
Of making his reign m era Of peace by at
lacking his neighlOr will In rendered i'm
possible. 1t is announced that the fOrtifca-
lions around Paris are to tn placed in a
of defence, and the EmperOr's adj
mission that the war will lie long, have sig
nally dampened the artiOr of those who
that within Il fortnight glorious
peace would be established and the supreme
CIV of the French arms would Ike signed in
Berlin. They are still told that the Ger
mans are trembling at the idea of encounter
ing Metraillense and Turcas, but this legend
has lost its effect
THE DIPLOMATIC CIRCULAR OF GOVERNMENT
PARIS, August 4-The official journal pub
fishes diplomatic circular Of the Govern
mcnt on disarmament. The document, after
refusing the statement Of Bismarck, termin-
ltes thus: eff Europe remains, If million
men are on the eve of hattie, II cannot I've
denied that the responsibility is Prl-sia's, as
she repulsed the idea Of disarmament when
We caused the proposal to he made, and he
gan by giving the example. Her conduct is
explained BY the fact that at the hour when
France unhdingly reduced her military,
contingent to the Cabinet al Berlin,
was secretly organizing candilatnre Of u
Prlssian Prince for the throne Of Spain so
provocative of mischief Whatever calum- |
MES the Federal Chancellor may invent, we
lear not. He has lost the right to be BE-
level. The conscience Of Europe and his
ory will say Prussia sought this war by in |
licting upon France, preoocupied with de-
relopment of her political institutions an
outrage no nation could acela without in |
,urring contempt.
