Grammont, before the Senate to-day:
Messieurs The manner in which the
country received our declaration of the 9th
of July, led as to commence negotiations
with Prussia to secure her recognition of
the validity Of our grievances We did not
treat with Spain, whose independence we
do not wish to trammel, nor with the Prince
of HOhenzollern, whom we consider to be
under the shadow of the King, nor have we
advanced any other grievance than the can
didacy Of the Prince for the Spanish throne
The Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs
opposed to us a determination not to re-
ceive our representation, pretending to
ignore the affair.
We then addressed ourselves to the King,
who maintained that he was stranger and
could not intervene except as head of the
family, but ne avOwed he had instructed
Bismarck. We could not accept that
answer, and we demanded that the King
should influence the Prince Of Hohenzol~
lern to desist from the project which came
from a quarter whence it was least expected.
We then demanded that the King should
give 4 promise for the future This mOder-
ate demand, made in moderate terms, we
declared to be without any reservation.
The King declined to say that he would re-
fuse, in the future, to countenance the can
didature, and he refused to authorize US to
transmit to yeu the declaration that he
would, in the future, oppose the candida
ture. He declared that he reserved to
himself the right to consider the circum-
stances.
Even after this refusal we did not break
off negotiations, but adjourned our explana-
tions to you until this date Yesterday we
were apprised that the King of Prussia had
notified our ambassador that he would no
longer receive him; and to render a rnp-
ture more obvious, he gave notice of his
action to the Cabinets of Europe. At the
same time he announced that Werther
might take his leave, and that the arming of
Prussia had commenced. On our part we
yesterday called out the reserves, and we
have taken such other measures as the
interest and honor of the country de.
manded.
a copy of this declaration has been pre-
scented to the Corps Legislatif by the Keeper
of Seals The Government asks vote of
supplies and the call to arms Of all classes
owing military service.
The Corps Legislatif has voted the ex-
treme demands of the Government, the Left
voting in the negative.
PRUSSIA OBJECTS

Alsace and Lorraine containing the modern
Provinces of Moselle, Muse and Voltage, on
the upper Rhine and lower Rhine, are the
real objects of the war on the part of Prus,

mankind

of the Government. lie found, after al
that was said, that France had received
satisfaction from Prussia, and war should
not be made on her for a mere formality.
Prime Minister Olivier replied to Theirs
He said it was impossible for the Govern
ment to do otherwise than it had done.
M. Thiers again took the floor He re
called Mexico and Sadowa, and said tht
Government had made new blunder. Tn
majority interrupted the speaker, but b
proceeded amidst the agitation.

demanded that all the correspondence ha
with Prussia be laid before the Corps Leg
