TuiIeries-Prussia's Refusal to Receive the
French Ambassador.
PARIS, July 14-5 P. M.-The Emperor left
st. Cloud this morning by special train, and
arrived at the Tuileries at noon. The Ministers
having been summoned to meet him were all
at the Palace and a council was held immedi-
asely after his arrival.
At half past 8 o'clock this afternoon the Pre-
sidents OF the Senate and the Corps Leglslatif
which were then in session, were informed that
the Government would have q communication
to make to those bodies before the close of the
sitting. 1t is generally believed this communi-
cation will be declaration of war.
1t is positively asserted that Count Benedetu
has been ordered to return to France, and that
he only awaits the departure of Baron Won
Werther, Prussian Minister, from Paris

chakoff has gone to Wildbad.
TREATMENT OF COUNT BENEDETTI BY THE KING
BERLIN, July 14.-The Kings refusal of
Count Benedetti's demands, coupled with his
peremptorv declension of future conference
with the ambassador, will be apt to arouse new
apprehensions of hostility, but will not neces-
sarily lead to war, as it is simply the act of the
chief of the Hohenzollern family, and not an
act of the Government which would require the
constitutional counter-signature of the Ministry.
Prussia refuses to abandon her policy of mas
terly inactivity with regard to the Spanish
throne.

common with the European Cabinets, sustained
the position taken by Duke de Gramont, which
was that Spain was entitled to choose any one
for king except German prince
