OF Spain had not pronounced ON the trans
action, and France had yet to know the de-
tails of an affair which had been conducted
in secrecy. The French government would

no pretext would it permit German power
to place one OF its princes on the throne of
Charles the Fifth. He hoped, however,
that prudence in Germany, and wisdom in
Spain, would avert extremities.

The project of General Prim.
