which had been conducted in secrecy. The
Preach Government would persist inits policy
IT neutrality, hut unler no Prtext would it

Princes on the throne Of Charles Fifth. lie
hoped l.owcver that prudence in Germany
and wisdom in Spain would avert eAtremities.
The Spanish Ambassador here was sent for
to-day by the Emperor, with whom he had
E'ng interview. The French Journals call
attention 10 the fact that the German fleet is
NOW cruising in the Metliterranea. The
Berlin press had represented that il was simply
an:excursion, but now the fact appears pro-
teIttOus To French interests. II is reported
that Admiral Topete will separate from Prim
Il HohennlIern is proclaimed candidate for
tho throne, and that he would prefer Prince
Alsonzo II Prussia, for King.
