New YORK, July 26.-The Iri6bae's
London special dated l am. this day
says: The English feeling has been
profoundly moved by publication this
m. in the Times ofthe proposed trea-
ty between France and Prussia. The
grave urgency with which Disraeli in
the House this pm. questioned the
government, justly reflected general
emotion. Conversation among mem
bers, turned on no other topic. Glad
stones reply, while declining absolute
ly to commit the government TO any
opinion or declaration whatever, be-
trayed in a manner more than words,
an unmistakable apprehension that
the document might prove authentic.
His answer was given with pale face,
and hesitating lips. When he sat
down the House felt that Eng
lands relations with the con-
tinental trouble had grown suddenly
close, if not alarming. To the mem
ton of Belgium the house responded
with an unwonted thrill of sympathy
and clear recog milton of England's OBJ
legation TO protect her. 1t is under
stood thatimmediate communications
were made by the Government to its
agents at Berlin and Paris, and the
French Government will have instant
opportunity to admit or deny its re-
spOnsibiIity for the alleged treaty.
It is believed here that, if genuine, its
proposals are French, while its rejec-
tion is due to Prussia. The copy for
the Times is thought to have been
supplied from Berlin. 1t is certain
the Times would not have published,
unless on evidences deemed conclu-
sive. 1t was said privately this af-
ternOon in the House, that the
copy was originally offered to
Earl Granville, but he refused -
the English government preferring
its suppression. There is supposed
to be an allusiOn to the same subject
in Mr.. Cardwell's answer to the ques-
ton in the House about breech-lOad-
ers, saying that great importance was
attached to the best guns being imme-
diateiy supplied to all the troops.
The Daily Net0S, which has bril-
liantly led the opinion of England on
war questions, will say in the morn
ing that it is impossible not TO admit
the gravity of the present European
crisis. 1t has for all neutral nations
been immensely increased by the pub
leatiOn of the proposed treaty; it
completely exposes what everybody
believes to be the favOrite policy and
the cherished design of the French
Emperor; it is a secret treaty
against England in its offer of
league offensive and defensive. As to
its genuineness, the public may be
asked to suspend their Judgment,
since Gladstone and Earl Granville
say that the governments concerned
will be compelled to speak. SuppOs-
ing that it was really proposed by
France TO Prussia, our imperial friend
and ally is presented in an aspect not
calculated to win back English SYM
pathy with his course. Napoleon was
ready, not only to throw over our alli-
ance for a better one, but 70 break it at
any moment by an advance into Bel
GUM, not only in direct infraction of
our friendship, but in defiance of our
power. 1t is difficult for any one
to believe that there was so much
bad faith as'to lead Prussia to listen to
such proposal. There is certain
insOlence in tone towards Prussia in
the suggesting documents, that if sent,
It was a kind of ultimatum, and no real
inducement was held out to Prussia.
In the meantime the whole political
interest of the moment is concentrated
on this publication. We should be
glad to have the completest assurance
that no such proposal was known to
either Government. Public opinion
in this country is already sufficiently
mighty In Prussia's favor, but this
treaty would make our neutrality diff
ficult, if not impossible.
Earl Granville viii make a state
ment in the House of Lords on Thurs
day as to the diplomatic legislation
which preceded the outbreak
of the war and the part the
English Government took. The same
correspondent telegraphs that since
Mr.. Motley's recall, manifestations of
regret have been most numerous
among influential Ameri leans and
friends of America and England.
His removal gave pleasure to our old
enemies here, but to no others. 1 am
asked daily whether it is not still pos
sible that Mr.. Motley may remain, If
1LLs dUSAAAOof %
graphed tonight. Mr.. Motley's
restoration would be cordially well
coined.
A statement on exceptionally good
authority has been sent the Daily
Nescs that Mr.. Bright's health contin.
ues improving, and there is every rea-
son to believe that he will resume his
place in the Commons at the next seS-
sion whether it is prudent he should
add official and parliamentary duties,
must remain undecided. In the
course of his illness, a tendency to
capillary congestion of the brain was
evident and suggests caution. Mr..
Bright has retrained from giving
effect, hitherto, to his wish to resign
bis Office in Difference to the strongly
expressed wishes of bis colleagues.
