NApoLEoN's PROCLAMATION.


Paris, July %.
The Emperor's proclamation to tho
people of France, after referring
briefly to the crisis, says:
Prussia, to whom we have given
evidence during, and since the war of
'66, Of the most conciliatory DISPOSE.
ton, and has held our good will of
no account, has returned our for.
bearance with Entertainments. She
has aroused distrust in all quarters,
necessitating exaggerated arguments
and has made of Europe camp
where reigns distrust and fear of the
morrow.
An official incident has disclosed
the instability ofinternational under
standing, and shown the gravity of
the situation. Prussia was made to
understand our claims. They wore
evaded and treated with contempt
uous treatment. Our country mani
tests profound displeasure at this
action, and quickly the war cry re-
sounds from one end of France to
the other. There remains nothing
but to confide our destinies to the
chance of arms.
We do not make war upon Ger
many whose independence We re-
spect. We pledge ourselves that the
people composing tho great German
Nationality shall dispose freely of
their destinies. As for US, we do.
mand the establishment of state of
things guaranteeing our security, and
assuring the future. We wish to
conquer . durable peace based on the
true interests of the people, and to
assist in abolishing the condition of
things-when all nations are forced
to employ their resources in arming
against each other.
The glorious flag of France which
we once more unfdrl in the face of
our challengers. is the Same which
has been over Europe spreading the
civilizing ideas of our great revolu-
ton. 1t represents the same princi.
pies; it will inspire the Same devo::
ton.

at tho head Of that valiant army
which is animated by love of country
and devotion to duty. That army

quarters of the globe. / take with
me my son. Despite his tender
years, ne knows the duties bis name
imposes upon him, and he is proud to
bear his part in the dangers with
those who fight for our country.
May God bless our efforts. A great

From Paris to-day, news dated

to forco Denmark into hostilities
against Prussia, Notwithstanding the

The secret treaty which was pro.
jected between France and Russia
monopolizes the attention here Of tho
public press, and in Parliament in
tense Indignation is manifested at the
duplicity Of tho powers concerned.
The action of Napoleon is considered
insulting to England. Complete
ignorance of tho negotiation is pro-
fessed at tho French Embassy here.
A dispatch from Brussels states
that the account Of tho treaty pro-
jected between France aud Prussia,
presented in the London Times this
morning, is authentic.

BAILEY, of Alexandlis county, is President,
shall cause the toll gste to be removed back, so
that persons visiting the cemetery ut Arlington

ii the bridge is not repaired While on this
