preparations were going on all last
night In Paris, and if the candidature
OF Prince Leopold is not withdrawn
within twenty-four hours, the French
ministers will be recalled from Berlin
and Madrid, nd war be declared.
The conduct of France In forcing
the issue and refusing to leave the
question ofthe throne to the Spanish
people, is strongly condemned by al
Europe. and Prussia is calm and her
dienified position is approved.
The negotiations between Paris and
Ems are reported to be unsatisfactory
Prussia declaring her innocence oil
the intrigue. She refuses to interfere
with the candidacy of HoheDzollern
on the ground that she has neither
the power nor the inclination to die.

The general belief is that the EN-,
peror is determined to fight, and will
move instantly, without giving Prus-
sia time for preparation. 1t is said
that Napoleon would prefer to meet
the issue now than after Prince Leo
peld is elected BY the Spanish people
especially as he bases the claims OF
his own dynasty on the popular vote.

The fines has an article on the
Spanish question, wherein it says it is
still possible to look calmly at the fu-
ture, and the Ministers must seek
and impress France of the extrava-
gauce of its pretensions and susoepti-
biities. In the absence of real dan
ger, eventual war Is only too proba
BILE; yet such iealousies have passed
without collisions, as in 1S4O and
1857.
The balance ofpower is unchanged ;
it is thought the real issue is the pos
session of the left bank of the Rhine,
and the contest would last until one
or the other became exhausted. Civ
iIization has everything to lose in
such a struggle. France is clearly in
| the wrong. Prussia denies the re-
sponsibility France ascribes to her.
/ France refuses to accept a disclaimer.
How can France object to an arrange
ment that Spain considers within her
competence. Neutral powers must
act instantly, unitedly and firmly to
prevent collision. The same papers
deplored the damage inflicted on
French credit by the long continued
excitement.
The Times has just received tele-
gram, dated Berlin, to-day, announe-
ing that the reports previously for.
warded from there touching naval
preparations at Baltic ports are un.
| founded. There is no undue activity
on the part of the Prussian navy, and
no popular excitement in Berlin.
A pacific solution Of the question a
issue between France and Prussia
seems to be confidently expected
everywhere.
