The Threatened European. cempIi-
cation. ~
LONDON. July There is much excite
ment, not only hele, but on the continent,
in view of the threatened European com
plication on the subject of Prince Leopold's
candidature for the Spanish throne. A dis:
patch from Paris says there is strong feel
ing in France, even outside of official cir
cles. against the bestowal Of the Spanish
crown upon auy Hohenzollern. The tran
QUILTING assurances of the French Emper-
or have exerted beneficial effect in Paris,
and particularly on the Bourse.
Rismark VS.. NapoIeon-A Pretty
PARIS, Nov. THE authorities here
seem assured that fully three fourthB of
the members of the Spanish Cortes are IA
vorable to the elevation of the Prince of
Hohenzollern to the Spanish crown There
seems to be no doubt but the King of
Prussia is also favorable to the project and
refuses any explanation in reply to the
note from the French Government.
Dispatches from Madrid announce that
at council of ministers held yesterday,
they authorized the Minister of Foreign
Affairs to present the name of the new
candidate, Hohenzollern, to the Cortes,
which will probably be convened expressly
for that purpose. The Council of Minis
tiers hope that the Prince will receive
more than 10 Notes.-The minimum re-
quired by a resolution passed by the
Oortes on the Sd inst. The Prince is ex-
pected to arrive at Madrid early in No
yembeT. A Spanish feet will be dispatched
to bring him,
Prim Yields TO Napoleon.
The Gd1lI0js, an independent organ, has
the following in its issue of this morning:
Gen. Prm in reply to dispatches of
Senior Olazaga, the Spanish ambassador in
this city, says that he acted with the
consent of Regent Serrano. Unofficially
and outside of diplomacy, finding difficulty
in obtaining a candidate for the Spanish
throne, he addressed the Prince of Hohen-
zollern, who unites many desirable quail
ties, but whose personal Importance was
thought to be insufficient to give umbrsge
to France. AS such an emotion has been
excited, Gen. Prim retracts and assures
the French Government of the sincerity of
his Intentions.
Wanting for Bfsmarck's Next Move.
The GdItLOis adds: The question is set
tied, so far as Spain is concerned. 1t re-
mains to be seen what Prussia will do after
the scene in the French chamber yester-
day, and the unequivocal declarations Of
the Duke of Gramont.
Napoleon Secures Austrian Alliance.
PARIS, July Z, 2 P. Mt is asserted in
well informed circles that an Alliance be-

Guided
The French War Office BuSy-Ru-
mOrs.
PARIS, July There is great agitation
and activity In foreign Office. 1t is said
that scores of kilograms passed between
Prim and Bismark before the intrigue was
discovered by the French Minister at Ber-
lin. 1t is not believed France would agree
to the conference of the great powers on
the question, as she desires to settle di-
recty with Prussia and Spain. Austria so
far maintains a strict neutrality on the
question.
1t is asserted that the French fleet will
Immediately sail via Brest for the Mediter-
ranean.
1t is rumored that Gen Prim has aban-
doned the candidature of Prince Hohenzol-
lern, in view of the threatening opposition
Of France, but the rumor has not been
confirmed. Gen. Prm wishes to have the
decision of Cortes on the question, and in
sists that the project is not hostile to
France.
On TO the Rhine!
The Li5erte demands that Prussia be
forced by an European Congress, or by
war, to give guarantees which will bind
her not to interfere in the affairs of other
nations. 1t also calls on France 10 get
possession of the Rheinish frontier by di-
plomacy or war.
Prussia Silent.
BERLIN, July All the semi-oficial
journals here are silent on the Spanish i'm

German Gazette. This paper processes to
have learned for the first time from the
declaration of Gramont that any prince of
the house of Hohenzollern had accepted
Prims offer of theiSpanish crown, and it
fails to understand the talk about war in
dulged in by Olivier yesterday in the
French Chamber.
IsetractiOn or War.
PARIS, July I, s P. M.-The GaHJOis
publishes a second edition to retract its
report that Prim had given way. The
GdulOis states that he still maintains the
candidature of Prince Hohenzollern, but
that the Spanish minister has telegraphed
to Madrid that the project must be aban-
doned or there will be war.
