Diplomatic Circular to the Foreign Govern

tcrnai France-NapoIeon's Government Still
Rccoenized-What United Germany Re-
quires for Peace-Tcrritorial Frontier Rec
tincation and the Possession Of French Fort
resses.
LONDON, Sept. 23-Evenlng
Count Bismarck has addressed an important d.
poma,ic CIRCULAR t9 the representatives Of the North
German Confederation serving at foreign courts. &C.
companying the document with an Official letter, in
which he directs that they shall communicate 1t i'm
mcdiatey to the governments to which they are ac-
credited.
In this Prussian state paper Premier Won Bis
marck examines the circular which was recently
issued by NJ Jules Favre and then goes on TO declare
that Germany does not entertain the slightest desire
to mix herself up either by act In her future policy
with the internal affairs Of France. Germany, he
adds, remains Indifferent as 10 what form Of govern
ment France may select or elect. The government
OF the Emperor Napoleon is. however, the only
one which ID at present formally recognized by
Germany and the other great leading Powers Of
Europe. The regulating and shaping Of the con-
dlti0us OF peace between France and Prussia are
therefore Just now dependent on the action Of that
government So long as the fortresses Of Metz and
Strasbourg remain armed France will retain and
have really power for offence much greater than Is
the power for defence which Is now in possession OF
the Germans. In the hands OF the Germans tnese
rorresses could only acquire defensive character as
Germany would certainly never become the assalant
other French neghbor. Prussia fears that France will
regard loosely arranged peace as an armistice
venge herself on Germany for her present defeats In
war Just so soon as she feels herself or imagines
herself strong enough for the undertaking. No dis
turbance Of the peace OF Europe need be feared from
Germany, and she will accordingly demand future
safety and territorial security for herse. as the price
Of her present exertlons in war.
Count Bismarck concludes in the following
wOrds:-"Germany can only draw up the articles Of
peace in terms which will demonstrate her
direct aim for the placing of national OBJ
stacles In the way Of French attacks on
her territory, more especially ON the hitherto
unprotected frontier Of South Germany. This will
lie accomplished in such manner as to push back
the frontier line which has embraced in times past
the starting points Of attack from France and bring
the territory within the power Of Germany, to be
used as bulwark Of defence against the force of
these fortresses with which France has hitherto
menaced usr
Count Bismarck winds up this important paper
with the usual official assurances oil good wil re-
spect and SO forth.
