to the King Of Prussia: ssi 80 a.
&" Your MAJESTY. In the present
grave circumstance, it may not appear
an unusual thing to receive letter from
me, but as the Vicar on earth of God and
peace l cannot do less than offer my med
iation 1t is my desire to witness the
cessation of warlike preparations, and to
stop the evils, their inevitable, conse-
quence.e My mediation is that of a
Sovereign whose small dominion excites
no Jealousy, but who.inspires confidence
by the moral and religious influence he
personifies. May God lend an ear to my
wishes, and listen also to those I form
for your Majesty, to whom j would be
united in the bonds of charity.
Given at the Vatican, July 20, 1870.
(Signed "PlUs."
The postscript adds: rs
81 have written identically to The En-
peror,"
The Kings reply is as follows: IS
MosT AUGUST PoNTIFF: I am not sur
prised, but profoundly moved, at the
touching words traced by your hand. It
is the cause and voice of God that peace
be heard How could my heart refuse to
listen to so powerful an appeal God
witness that neither Inor my people de-
sired or provoked war. Obeying the
sacred duties which God imposes on SOW
ereigns and nations, we take up the
sword to defend the independence and
honor OF our country, ready to lay it down
the moment those treasures are secure.
IF your Holiness could offer me from him
who SO unexpectedly declared war, as
surancies OF a sincerely prolific DISPOSE
ton, and guaranteed a similar attempt
on account of the peace and tranquility
of Europe, it certainly will not be | that
refuse to receive them from your honora
BILE hands. United, as am, with you, in
bonds of Christian charity and sincere
friendship,
