FRENCH VIEWS OF THE ATTITUDE OF ENGLAND
REPORTS OF THE INTENTIONS OF OTHER
GOVERNMENTS.
LONDON, July II, 1870
The Moneur (sem-ofiiciaD says England is much
concerned for the welfare of Belgium. France de-
sires that the neutrality of Belgium be maintained,
but will require that Prussia be held to an equal re-
sponsibility. The Monier thinks that after all En-
gland is more uneasy regarding the attitude of Prus
STA than of France in regard to Belgian neutrality.
The same journal holds friendly language toward
Spain. 1t ntmates that France would be willing to
support the father of the King of Portugal for the
Spanish throne.
Belgium relies upon the British, French and Prus-
sian assurances of neutrality for the immunity OF her
territory The report that the bridges the Belgian
frontier have been destroyed is contradicted.
The Governments of Holland, Denmark and Italy
ahenl hot Nypg
France and Prussia.
Austria will remain neutral if Russia does not take
part in the coming struggle.
DOpiHiOn Rationale Prince Napoleon's organ,
says 1--WE learn from good authority that Italy has
rendered TO France NJ he lattes OPTION either her
friendly neutrality or unconditional aid" 1t adds
that Prussia has offered province to Austria III
change for an alliance.
The British Foreign Office has not yet received
official notice of the declaration of war between
France and Prussia.
The London Times intimates that the recovery of
Alsace and Lorraine, containing the modern prov
inces of Moselle, Meurthe, Meuse VOsges, Upper
Rhine and Lower Rhine, are the real objects of the
war on the part of Prussia and in that she has the
sympathes of mankind. The Times hints that
English Intervention is probable in of Prussas
losing strength.
The Spectator, in its issue to-day, predicts the
suit of the war; that the BOnapartes will be found
to have exhausted Heavens patience.
The Shipping Gazette feels certain that the doctrines
of the Paris Conference privateering and block
AIDES will be recognized in the coming struggle and
possibly the immunity of private property aioat 1t
also thinks England should remain neutral, even if
France take Holland and Belgium. The German
shipping will stay at home, the French will find no
charters, and business will fall to neutral flags.
