THE SPANISH SUCCESSION
| OutgivEngs of Peacc-tkumored ftes'
| ignation of Gramont.
P.p1s June 1.-THE preservation nofpeacs
is assumed RI assured, and reports to the
contrary originate with speculatiors. There
is a runor that Duke De Gramont has re-
signed.
and stocks are rising. g arll Az
General UneasIness.
LONDON, July 1.-THE feeling through
out Europe is still one of general uneasi
ness. The tone of the official papers O.
France is eminently pacific, but other jour
nails are hostile and warlike. The want O
confidence at the Exchanges of the various
European capitals is fair reflex of public
sentiment
drawn-Prussia Still silent, and
France Indignant.
PARIS, July 14.-The journal de ,S0i7
contradicts the report circulated yesterday
about the formation of the ministry. The
French military attache at the Court OF
Vienna, now here, has received orders to
return Immediately to his post. Baron
Bourgouig, Secretary to the French AM
bassador, also returns to Vienna. Rumors
of the resignation of the ministry are con-
tinued, though generally discredited.
Public opinion and q majority of the
journals are opposed to accepting the dis
patch of the father of the Prince of Hohen-
zollern to the Spanish government as a
final settlement of the question. Most OF
the journals assert that the ministers
went so far in their declarations that peace
with T? without direct acknowledgment
on the part of Prussia would be more shame
than success for France. The Lt5erte,
MonSteur, Opi1,GORe National and Pub
Sque are especially bitter against the min
istry. Official journals, however, announce
peace as settled.
GramonL's Statement of the Situa-
tiOn.
Last evening, Duke Gramont, Minister
of foreign affairs, announced to the Senate
and Corps Legislatif, that the French
ambassador to Spain had officially made
known the renunciation of Prince Hohen-
zollern of the Spanish crown. The ne
gotiations which we have been pursuing
with Prussia, the Duke said, have had no
other object, but they have not yet ter
minated; SO it is impossible to-day to
furnish the chambers and country with a
general expose of affairs. The Senate re-
ceived this statement coldly.
The Duke then asked the Senate to post
pone the discussion on Interpolation until
Saturday next, because Friday had been
set apart for discussion in the Corps Legis-
latif.
The Senate Immediately protested, but
on request of Rouher the proposition was
assented to. The Senate will meet an
hour earlier than usual that day, to have
more time for discussion.
PrecariOus Peace.
PARIS, July 1.-THE Presse thinks the
settlement of the question precarious and
dangerous to France, it simply enabling
Prussia to choose q better opportunity.
The Liberty demands general Congress
or war.
The Journal de De5ats says the Prussian
reply to France is insufficient.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Telegraph this
morning says: Though the Prince Hohen-
zollern renounces his candidature, and the
King of Prussia indorses such renuncia-
ton, still it is too early to believe in peace.
A formal reply of Prussia to that effect Is
the only thing that will restore confidence.
The only response thus far has been haugh-
ty, official and extreme-doubtless de-
signed to be firm and dignifed.
EsparterO and Alfonso.
Espartero denies having ever urged
Gen. Prim in favor of Alfonso in a promise
TO the preference to Leopold.
Napoleon Dissatisfied.
BRUSSELS, July 14.-The French En-
peror is dissatisfied with the mere with
drawal of Hohenzollern, and persists that
Prussia formally disavow the candidature
The King of Prussia formally refuses,
alleging that to accede to this, would only
produce more extravagsnt demands from
France.
Prussian Views-War Inevitable.
BERLIN, July 1.-THE disposition of the
people of Prussia seems to be calm, serious
and resolute to fight for national honor.
The Beorgin ZeituRg says was is sure, be-
cause the French wants it. The Beorgin
Courier says the French pretensions are a
direct insult to Prussia and King William.
War is inevitable.
King William Has no Further Com.
municatiOn to Make.
EMS, July l4.-The French ambassador,
to-day, was denied an audience to the King
of Prussia, to exact that Prince Hohenzol-
lern's remuneration be made perpetual, and
that the royal veto be applied to any French
{? furtherl approach to the Prince on the
subject of the Spanish crown. The King
declined to receive the ambassador, and
answered him through Veile de Camp that
he had no further communication to make.
France Continues Military PrePa-
ratiOns-Patriotic Students.
PARIS, July 14.-Bourse opened de-
clining; rentes 69f 10c. The journals to-
day give details of military preparations,
which are still continued.
Last night three or four hundred
students made a demonstration in the
streets while returning from public ball.
They shouted, ''Vive France!" ''Down
with the Prussians" and sang the 'Mar-
seillaise," without interruption by the
police.
Great Panic on the Paris BOurse.
PARIS, July II, $3.50 P. M-There was a
great panic in the Bourse, rentes have
fallen to 67f 15c. The journals say the
French cabinet having received as first
concession the personal remuneration of
the Spanish crown by Prince Hohenzollern,
it was agreed to continue negotiations to
obtain from the King of Prussia his official
remuneration now and forever to all preten-
sions to the throne of Spain on the part of
any member of the Hohenzollern family.
