THE PLAN OF PRUSSIA.
A Curious and Interesting Doc
ument From the Paris
UniVers.

The following letter addressed to US by a
serious thinker, is worthy of the attention
of the reader Those who have studied, at
tentively, intellectual Prussia, will recognize
therein its thoughts, as well as the Prussian
aim, or rather the philosophic or social aim
of the war. Prussia is not Germany. as
Germany thinks; she is not even Prussia as
her King and most of her Generals think
she is socialism armed; she is destruction ;
she is Islamism; she is in the sin of Eu
rhpe. This war shall not finish tomorrow.
neither in France nor in Prussia, ncr in the
world. 1t shall not finish before Europe
shall have expiated her crime, asked pardon
for it, and destroyed it.

Ts the Chief Editor of the Univers:
DIJON, Aug. 81, I87O-I send you faith.
ful resume of eoversation which took
place in Switzerland, the first of June, of
this year, (mark the date,) between one of
our most influential citizens and a distin-
guisbed German.
10 fifteen days, said the German, you shall
have a social revolution at Paris. The Red
Republicans shall be then inaugurated and
established by our concurrence. We have
need of the massacres of September anew
Proprietors, capitalists, priests, the rich and
solid part of the population must be annihi-
lated-it impedes our plans.
The Red Republicans shall work the di-
vision and dissolution of vo,r Foroos. 81
shall open to US the heart of France
To force its gates 100000 Germans, at the
orders of Prussia, are ready. They will
fall on Paris without obstacle. You have
only the semblance of an army it shall be
destroyed. 1t is time to chastize France :;
to curb that vanity and proud pretention of
governing Europe. The French are sots.
ignorant; people demoralized by prosper
ity. They ought to yield to the precedence
to whom of right it belongs.
1t is just that the only nation intelligent
and powerful, that carries within her the
light of reason by her knowledge and in
struction, and the sword of force by her
physical strength; now then that the Ger
man nation should govern the world. 1t is
the spirit of God which animates her. 1t
is time that this Latin race and this Catho
lie religion, the foundations and principles
of which grace their time and fallen into
liquid decomposition, infect and corrupt the
world should be annihilated to give peace
to reason.
God has chosen the German nation and
King William to effect this great triumph.
He wishes to give him, in Europe, the great
est power to accomplish his designs
The German empire must be re-estab-
lished.
For this aim money is necessary
France alone possesses enough of this. 1t
is the treasury of Europe.
You have at the bank 100000, 900
awaiting US.
We will impose On you seven more bill
lions, payable at short dates. And in going
away we will keep Lorraine and Alsace.
A large empire cannot be truly great
without an immese navy dOmineering in
every sea.
Ne will take Denmark and Holland, we
shall be masters of the Baltic.
Then, Austria absorbed, we shall take the
Adriatic.
To take the Mediterranean, we shall sub
due Italy, which is only slave. 1t is there
where the Pope reigns, that old idol, degrsd
ing and fanaucizing the people, and pre-
venting the reign of reason.
Then only will the German nation hold
the rank to which she aspires, and Of which
she is worthy.
"If this is so" replied the Frenchman,
d" it only remains for me to fall on my knees
before German genius and adore it"-ad
ding: "Y You have forgotten to tell me what
you will do with France, having subdued it2'
"If she resists, replied the German " we
shall annex her to Belgium"
But replied the Frenchman, this
German nation, that boasts an intelligence
81 great as to place reason above everything,
and that surpasses the entire world by its
philosophy and its wisdom, comes down
after all to the use of mere brute force"
at is means to arrive at our aim," said
the Garman.
