Prim's Offer Of the spanish Crown-Thc
. German and the Nativists.
PARIS July !, 1870.
The political horizon looks very squaily. coun-
Gil OF ministers was held yesterday morning at which
1t was determined to resort to the force OF arms
should that alternative be necessary in order to pre-
vent Prusslan prince taking possession of the
throne OF Spain. The arsenals are TO be inspected
and the frontier fortresses OF France placed on
war footing without delay.
The cause OF this sudden excitement is Mar shall
Prim who has offered the crown of Spain TO the
Prince Hohenzoern at present quietly vegetaing at
Bonn on the Rhine. He is brother OF Prince
Charles, now governing Roumania, thirty years
King O. roTsa srIa % To a hsvs Sse h' ssS sS

disiasteful TO his countrymen, he being
descendant OF Murat, who, during the war OF in
dependance, bomharded Madrid. The name OF
Murat Is still exccrated in SPAN. BY adylces re-
celved from the Spanish capital It appears thai
Prim has acted entirely on ms own responsibility
anG without consulting his colleagues. The people
Of Madrid are furious, and, Notwithstanding the
unquestionable preference OF Spaniards in general
for monarchical insututons tncy viii udonb tediy
prefer republic To having descendant of Murat
on the throne. ,s.,, r. ~ +, ~ ?

ofer made by Prim and indeed 1t IS stated in one
telegram that The nomination Of a new King would
be proclaimed without even being submitted tn the
Cortes for approval. The object which Marshal
Prlm had In view when he made Offer OF tie
Spanish crown TO q lieutenant OF the guards closely
uiiled 70 the royal family or Prussia must have been
the chance OF contracting an offensive and defensive
treaty with that country.
The prompttudc and frmness displayed by the
French government may however, prevent the ac-
COmpishment or this design
