PARIS, July 19.-The Journal Off
ciGLe to-day has Significant article
on the attitude of Holland; with
which ii processes TO be pleased, and
continues, "But no one can ignore
the ambitious disigns of Prussia
against the independence of Holland.
Bismarck wished to make that
generous and illustrious little ma
ton submit as the Dan
ish. The Duchiss We're forced
submit. He wished TO tender HoI-
land the naval state of the North Ger
man Confederation, and make pre-
text for establishing close commercial
relations to place certain Prussian
custom officers at Amsterdam. The
patriotic emotion aroused in the Meth
erlandS at the town of Luxembourg
will also be rememberedI nor will
it be forgotten that without the
firm stand taken by France this
PruSsian policy would have resulted

The same paper has the following
in relation to Switzerland: ave
learn from several Swiss cantOns, and
particularly from Neufchatel, that the
military measures 'of the Federal
Government are not directed
against France hut are in
spired by a friendly neutrality.
Switzerland knows that she has moth
ing to fear from France, her national
ally and firm friend. The measures
taken by Switzerland to secure the re-
spect of Prussia, for her neutrality,
are in our favor, as by her
geographical position she pro-
tects an important position of our
frontier" The friendly feeling of the
Spanish people toward France is also
pointed out by the Journal, which
says: We hear from all those who
have noticed the law carefully in our
present conflict that our Government
and Chambers have avoided any acts
or expressions of unfriendIiness to-
ward that power. This results from
the feeling of sympathy between the
| two nations"
