TERMS LIKELY TO BE IMPOSED ON FRANCE
BY PRUSSIA. /
LONDON, August 24.-Fhe following
statement from q semi-oticial source,
foreshadows the demand likely to be
made BY Prussia, in case of a successful
termination of the war:
The time has arrived when Germany
must be freed from French interference
and mensces, and have long period of
unbroken peace A mere change Of dy-
nasty in France would not be sufficient to
insure this, for the next sovereign would
seek as soon as possible to recover the lost
military prestige of France, and the bur
den of an armed peace would be specu-
lated upon. Supposed that France
should issue from this struggle with her
strength unimpaired, and with all her
stroneholds, when she menaces the valley
of the Rhins and the Politanate intact,
the war from which the incapacity of
French Generals and the bravery OF the
German army have delivered US, will be
renewed. There can be no Trustworthy
peace. It is not thus this costly struggle
must be terminated. We will only
resign our arms when we have been guar
anteed security against 3 fresh contest,
whenever ii may suit the political neces-
sites of the French to resume 1t.
The stock market was depressed by the
expected shipment of bullion to France.
The Admiralty have postponed until
the war is ended the sale of surplus naval
stores. r- W r#-LH. saE q vi
