LONDON, Wednesday, Aug 3, 1870
The Daily Netcs Of tomorrow gives an impor'ahN
contradiction to the statement of the farS De"""
resnectino the secret treaty The Debds says that
the treaty was not secret but as project reduced 10
,.;.;,, and ,ooueIv formulated, it within the
coon;zance not only of the Governments Of France
and Prussia, but of the English and Belgian Gov
ernments
The text itself il is said, in the hands Of the
English Government from the very beginning. To
this The Daily Aecs responds without any fear Of
well-founded contradiction: We take upon
selves to assert that our Partisan contemporary is
misinfomed. The text of the projected treaty was
never in the hands of the English Government, snd
first under their eyes when it published in
The Times"

who wishes to be officially assured of the absolute
ignorance of the Foreign Office has only to put the

own country and possible to give the French such
a lesson that hereafter the Emperors peculiar mode
of making his reign era of peace by attacking his
neighbors will be rendered impossible.
The announcement that the Notifications of Paris
are to be placed in condition Of defense, and the
Fmperors admission that the will be long
one, have singularly dampened the ardor of those
who imagined that within fortnight glorious
peace. which would reGstablish the supremacy Of
French arms, was to be signed in Berlin. The
Parisans are still told that the Germans are trem-
bling at the idea of encounting nirditleuses and
Tlroos; but these legends have lost their effect.
