any foreign one, guided its President
in the course Of the negotiation. The
sole desire to carry out the wishes q
the nation and the mission cOnfided
to him by the Regent and his COZ
leagues in the Cabinet induced him to
propose for the throne of Spain a
prince Of full age, absolute master of
his actions, and who, by his relation
ship with most of the reigning houses
of Europe, without being called to
the throne of any of them, excluded
in that situation all idea Of hostility
againsta any power whatever. In conse-
quence, the candidature Of the Prince
de ACCOMPLISHMENTS does
not affect in any respect the friendly
relations OF Spain with the other
states, and still less can il interfere
with the intercourse which they may
have among themselves. Your excel
lency, well convinced of the inten-
tiOns which have guided the Spanish
Government in the resolution about
to be submitted by it to the Cortes,
should regulate thereby your conduct
in all that, in this matter, concerns
the exercise of your functions; and l
expect from your zeal and intelligence
to be the faithful interpreter of the
motives which actuate his highnes5'
government. Be so good as 70 read

eign Affairs and leave with him a

EUGENIE's ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH
NAVY.
PARIS, July 26.-The Empress.
when at CherbOurg, read to the sail
ors of the fleet an address from the
Emperor, which says: although not
among you, my thoughts follow you
to those seas where your valOr will be
displayed. The French navy has a
glorious history. You will be worthy
of its post when you are in front Of
the enemy; remember that France is
with you, and calls for the protection
of Heaven upon your arms. While
you fight on the sea your brethren
fight on the land for the same cause.
Go and show with pride the national
standard. When they see, the enemy
will know it enfalds the honor and
genius of France"

THE WAR AND THE GIRL OF THE
PERIOD.
Between her allegiance to French
fashions and her devotion to the Seer
man." the girl of the period hesitates
which side TO spouse in the European
confiiet-whether to throw down her
Bismarck glove, or to cast aside
De GrammOnt's memories. Strauss
Waltzes on the one hand, straw
bonnets on the other; the "basket
figure here, the "panier" there,
she's in the position OF al "GReSSe
entire detEr pdHiers," and can't for the
life of her strike a balance; and, while
she wishes Berlin wool, she wouldn't
have Paris worsted.

THE AMERICAN B~ONAPARTE.
The American BOnaparte, Jerome
Napoleon, grandson of the old Jerome
Napoleon and Madame Patterson
BOnaparte, left our shores yes
terday in the steamship La
fayette for France, and for the pur-
pose of joining the French army Of the
Rhine. An American soldier, edu-
Gated at West Point, he has done
some active service in the army of the
United States; but as a French soldier
he distinguished himself in the Cri-
mean and Italian wars.

ENGLAND's INTEREST IN THE WAR.
In urging that every effort should
be madef for the maintenance of peace,
we are moved more by moral cOnsid-
erations than by those Of traditional
European policy. We may say at
once that we care very little about the
balance of power, which within the
last two or three years has significant
ly disappeared from the preamble to
the mutiny act. A war between
France and Prussia would be a war
for the left bank of the Rhine, and
would no doubt be fought out until
the capacity of the n TO conquer or
of the other to defend that debatable
land was fully decided. The military
result of such a war would affect US
but little. The time has passed when
it could matter to England whether
any Western power possessed a few
square miles more or less, or the COM
mand of this or that fortress. Since
the last settlement of Europe, States
have come to maturity in the world
which threaten to dwarf the ordinary
members of the European system.
Russia and the United States are the
powers which the next generation will
look upon as the most formidable.
Moreover, the interests and attention
of England are chieiy.concerned with
her own growing colonies, and with
the vast populations of Asia. The re-
suit of a Franco PruSsian wal is Of
little moment to us politically, but
we have an interest, in common with
the whole of Europe, that the two
most advanced nations of the CONT
nent should not plunge into a contest
the effect of which may be to divide
them for a generation by an enduring
hatred. How much the real strength
of civilization may lose by such a con-
vulsiOn il is impossible to fOretell.
We can only be certain that the i'm
pOrtance of Western Europe, the prin-
cipal field Of human progress, will be
diminished, perhaps permanently, by
a fratricidal strife.
VOLUNTEERS FOR PRUSSIA.
The Consul-G General of the North
German Union has issued the fol-
lowing:
Adispateh in this mornings papers,
purpOrting to come from Berlin, states
that the North-G German Government
has issued circulars to all the COnsuls
of North Germany in foreign States,
requiring them to forward immedi-
ately all Germans liable to military
duty, paying their passage and fur
nishing them with such articles as
may be necessary; also, that they are
empowered to forward on the same
terms all volunteers who may wish to
fight for Germany. l beg to say that
no such order has been received at this
office, nor is likely to be issued.
All those who are under obligations
to report to military duty have to do
so by their own means, when public
notice has been given of mobilization
of the army. No such notification
has as yet reached here. Those who
have come hither under q misappre-
hensiOn and are without means, may
be supported by the Consulate. Under
no circumstances, however, will the
latter be converted into q recruiting
Office. Respectfully,

BAD FOR FRANCE.
France is now isolated. She has not
an ally; for l do not reckon Austria
as an ally. Let her bulge, she falls to
pieces. Were Austria weak enough
to go to war she would disappear from
the map of Europe. Her German
population would become Prussians;
the kingdom of Hungary would abb
