the country received our declaration Of
the 9Th Of July, led Us 70 commence ne
gotiations with Prussia 70 secure her re-
coguftion OF the validity Of our grievarI.
ceS We did not treat with Spain, whose
Independents we have no wish 70 tram
lmel, nor with the Prince Of HohenzolleEn,
whom we consider TO be under the shadow
OF the King, nor have We advanced any
Othsr grievance than the candidacy Of the
Prince for the Spanish crown. The PTus-
sian Minister of Foreign Affairs opposed 70
Us determination not TO receive our rep
resentations, pretending TO ignore the

he would IN future oppose the candida

himself the right 70 consider the circpm-
stances. Even after this refusal ne did
not break of the negotiations, but ad-
jnuIDed our operations until this date.
TesterIlay We were Spptised that the
King Of Prussia had notified our EmbsSa-
dor that he would no longer receive him,
and 70 render the, rupture more obvious,
he gave notice 81 lis action TO the Cabi.
