henzollern. 2. That Prince Hohenzol-
lern is not even relation of the royal
family Of Prussia. 8. That General
sPrim negotiated with the Prince of 10.
5henzollern and he must be responsible,
not Prussia. It is almost certain this
answer is not satisfactory to France, and

works, in Prussia. The Government has
taken measures to put the Garde Ma
