PARIS, July 80. - The Journal
Oficiel denies the story that recently
originated in Germany, that one
hundred French soldiers had invaded
Luxembourg.
The French Senator Geiger, who
owns the large factories near Saar
Louis, has been expelled from Prus
sia.
NJ. Bonneville has left Rome on
turlough.
1t is believed that the French troops
now in Rome will all be in France by
the 10Th of August.
The French journals say the Prus-
slams have 300 900 men at Treves;
100000 men in Black Forest; 100000
near Mayence; 100000 in Schleswig,
and $4,000 near Berlin.
The triangle between Treves, May

Emile Olivier, Prime Minister,
had an interview yesterday with the
principal editors of Paris, during
which lie explained the position of
the government on several questions
in relation to Prussia. He gave the
same explation of the secret treaty
project that Benedict had previously
given. Relative to the measures taken
by the Cabinet some time ago to
effect a general disarmament, he
said those efforts we're merely inter
mediatory to those of Earl Clarendon
for like purpose. Bismarck replied
to Clarendon that King William re-
fused absolutely to disarm.
Olivier said he gave the honor of
that no offer was made to Prussia,
endon on the Italian question. OIL
livier said that it has seemed equita-
BILE and useful for the French govern
ment to evacuate Rome. Equitable,
because Italy has kept her promises !;
and useful, because keeping her prom
ises, unites US more closely with Italy
and Austria.
The Journal Oficiel publishes
Count Beuedetti's explanation of
the secret treaty affair. 1t is well
known that Bismarck made France
an offer before and after the war with
Austria. The substance of this offer
was that France should take Bel
gium as compensation for the
aggrandizement of Prussia. The
Emperor, in all cases, declined the
propositions. At the very moment the
/ treaty of Prague was concluded Bis
marck again betrayed a desire to re
store equilibrium, and made several
proposals looking to a combination
affecting the integrity of States Dor
dering on France. During one OF
| these conversations Bismarck dictated
to Benedetti this secret treaty project
which has just been made public, aud
which Bismarck has kept ever since
