Of Gramont, that Germany had confessed the inn

The only written document which Prussia has re-
coiyed from France since the beginning of the
quarrel reached Berlin at 1901 p. on Tuesday last
and was the declaration of war 1t declares that the
Emperor of the French is obliged to consider the
proDosal to elevate a Pussan prince to the throne
of Spain as an attack the security Of France, and
he desires that Prussia diSayOw the scheme. This
Prussia refused TO do reserying her right to be
governed by circumstances The Emperor says he
is forced to consider this determination as equally
lnenacing to France and the European equilibrium,
and particularly as IL was rendered the more sgnii-
cant by The communication made by Prussia TO the
Cabinets Of Europe giving account OF the refusal
toIecciye the French ambassador. The paper con-
cludcs:
"Ihc French Government, therciore,is taking steps
fol the defense Of its honor and injured Interests, and
having adopted all measures which the circumstances
render necessary considers Itself at war with Prussia
The Prussian Government has issued circulars to
all the cousus Of North Germany in foreign States,
recurring them to forward Immediately all Germans
liable TO military duty, paying their PASSAGE TO
FaheTland, and furnishing them with such articles
as NAV be necessary. They are also empowered to
forward on the same terms all volunteers who may
wish no fight for Germany The sailors of the Ger
man ships now in English ports are returning TO
Prussia TO enlist in the armies, and the EnghSh
backwards are empticd to man the German navy.
The Queen of Prussia leaving the Rhine
pIOyince for Berlin issued farewell address to the
inhabitants She says she has lived twenty years
among them, and has experienced nothing but Their
attachment and devotion for the King, his children,
ard herself. She would willingly stay, but sacred
duties call her elsewhere. The enthusiasm OF Ger
many is the voice OF God. Her sucrngs in the past,
ao fbe BLESSINGS which Rave followed them for half
o. century warrant continued trust in Him for time
and ttc!uIty.
