BERLIN, July 20.-It is said here
that the failure of an intrigue Of the
Empress Eugene to marry her niece,
the Duchess Abbot, to Prince Leopold,
is the reason and source Of the present
trouble between France and Prussia.

ierrlDie Day IN England.
The Liverpool markets yesterday
were terribly prOstrated. Nothing was
like the commercial de-
preston. Many men who were worth
100000 pounds sterling a day or two
ago are bankrupt to-day. Business in
yarns and fabrics at Manchester is also
paralyzed. There is no
news of any engagement, either
Dy land or sea as yet been received
here.
RumOrs of an alliance are still ru-
mOrs only. Thus far no authentic in
of any power having taken
sides with either of the combatants
has been made public.
PARIS, July 20.-An American resi-
dent here, Mr.. Evans, has given ten
thousand francs to the society to aid
the wounded soldiers of France.

nounced that war has been declared
with Prussia and her allies, in the
words:
NeSSietrS. The expose presented
10 you on the 18th inst. made known
the causes we have for war against
Prussia, according to the rules and
usage of nations, and by order Of the
Emperor have requested the Charge
4 Affairs at Berlin to notify the Cab
net Of Prussia of our resolution to
seek with arms the guarantees
we could not obtain by discussion.
This has been done, and [ have the
honor to make known to the Corps
Legislatif that in consequence thereof
1 state Of war has existed since the
18th between France and Prussia.
The declaration applies to the allies
Of Prussia who give her armed as
5istance.
CsFmsn Enthusiasm.
BERLIN, July 3o.-The most per-
feet harmony exists in the govern
ments of all the North German States.
In the Saxon Chambers, yesterday,
Baron de Trlesn, Minister Of Finance,
made a speech to the deputies. He
said France was anxious for war,
and should have it as sharply and Sc
yereIy as possible. His remarks were
greeted enthusiastically.
In the North German Parliament,
after the Kings speech had been de-
ivered, a loan of 100000 thalers
was carried unanimously amid the
widest expression Of enthusiasm by
all parties.
The King said that Prussia had no
interest in the selection of the Prince
Of HOhenzOllern for the Spanish
throne, except that il might bring
peace to a friendly people. 1t had,
furnished the Emperor
Of the French with a pretext for war
unknown to diplomacy, and, scorning
peace, he had INDUCED in a char
lcter of language to Germany which
could only have been prompted by =
of their strength. Ger
many was strong enough to resist such
language and repel such insOlence.
He said so in all reverence, knowing
that the event weighed the response
Dility which rested on the man who
drives into war and havoc two great
and tranquil nations yearning for
peace and their enjoyment of the COM
mon blessings of Christian civilization
and prosperity, and for contests more
salutary than those of blood. Those
who rule France have shrewdly
studied the proper methods of hight
ening the sensitive pride of that
neighbor nation, and to promote the
selfish interest have misguided it.
The King concluded: As our faith
ers before US have done, let us
fight for liberty and our rights against
the wrongs inflicted by foreign con-
1uerer, and as he was with our father
80 God viii be with US in a struggle
which Europe can never en-
10y lasting peace.
General Nicholas Anne TheOduIs Chan
GARNER.
The appointment of General Chan
GARNER as commander Of the French
reserves is strongly significant of a de-
sire on the part of the Emperor to
unite all parties in the war against
Germany. This veteran officer is now
In the seventy-seventh year of his
age. He distinguished himself in AL
giers, gaining promotion after promo
ton for gallantry on the battle field.
In 184S he became Governor General
Of Algiers, under the provisional gov
ernment of the republic, and soon af-
ter was elected member of the Con-
Assembly for the Department

events that transpired there. He took
