day with the Ministers Of War, Navy

Important command. Count Paletaco

French circular has been issued defining
the situation.
From semi-official journals this morn
ing, are gathered tho following details
touching the candidature of the Prince
OF Hohenzollern: General Prim meant
hostility when the Spanish Government
notified the great powers of Europe Of
Aohenzollern's candidature on the Sd of
july, General Prim advised Senior Oloa-
zsga, the Spanish Minister here, that he,
General Prim, had chosen Prince Leo
polds Aof Hohenzollern, and that the
Spanish Ministry felt assured that the
FRENCH Government would object to it,
but that he depended upon the higher
sentiment of the Emperor. This proves
that General Prim meant to act without
the consent of the Emperor. France
has communicated with other powers of
Europe, and in all cases has received
words of sympathy. All she seeks at
Berlin and Madrid is to prevent politi-
cal lcomplications.
a despatch recently forwarded to the
Spanish Government by the Duke de
Grammont, was made public to-day.
The Duke says, France hopes Spain will
renounoe the only candidate for the
throne, who is altogether disagreeable.

Government in Spanish affairs by inter-
dieting plots and arresting invading Car
lists. Also urges the fact that France
aided Spain in the establishm ment of
provisional Government No answer has
yet been received from Prussia since the
declaration Of the Secretary of Foreign
Affairs in the Corps Legislatif few days
ago. On the morning of that day, how
ever, despatch was received from Prus-
sla to the effect that the Government
knew nothing of tho candidature of
Prince Hohenzollern to the throne of
Spain.
LONDON, July 9.-The questions at
issue between France and Prussia, rela-
tive to the Spanish crown, create some
uneasiness in the English markets, both
here and in Liverpool; breadstuffs and
cotton are uncertain in tone and prices
irregular ar-altogether due to possible
continental war. The same influence is
operating at Manchester in the market
Tor cotton goods and yarns. The gene
raj excitement does not seem to have
abated. The threatened rupture still
forms the topic for newspaper comment
and ordinary conversation among the
people throughout Europe; while the
better opinion seems to be that war will
be atlast avoided. Dispatches received
from some quarters of movements of
troops, strengthening of garrisons, and
departure OF fleets, are we'll calculated to
excite the gravest apprehensions. To-
day, the Austrian Government is prepar-
ing to form permanent camp near the
Prussian frontier; she has had this plan
in contemplation for long time
PARIS, July 9.-The French rentes
reached the lowest point for years, yester-
day. but subsequently rallied fraction.

dldature. General officers of the Prus-

their corps. France has received re-
assuring dispatches from most of the
great powers. Naval preparations are
active. Montpensier opposes Hohen-
zollern. A demonstration will be made
in Madrid, on Sunday, against all TO-
reign candidates.
Infallibiity will be proclaimed on the
