The Franco -Prussiap War.

The Austria Prime Minister issued a
circular to the Austrian Ministers abroad,
if unsuccessful in sparing Europe
bloodshed and Austria that serious con-
sequences would be indispensable to. a
war between two such powerful nations,
desire at least to mitigate that war.
Austria will preserve an atti.
o fentire neutrality, resisting every
overture to participate. We should be
lmprudent if DESTROYS to remain masters
of our destiniea to omit any measure tend
ing to guarantee tranquility to the Eu-
ropean people. A Herald special July
"a says that the army of South Germany
has been ordered north. The Prussian
army goes south. Denmark has decided
on war. She will wait until the French
fleet enters the Baltic. Hungary also
joins France in the struggle. The En-
peror's proclamation to the people has
created a profound impression.
The only written document which
Prussia has received from France since
the beginning Of the quarrel, reached
Berlin at | 30 p. m. on Tuesday last,and
was the declaration of war. 1t declares
that the Emperor ofthe French is obliged
to consider the proposition to elevate q
Prussian prince to the throne of Spain as
an attack on the security Of France and
heldesires that Prussia disayow the scheme.
This Prussia refused, reserying her right
to be governed by circumstances. The
Emperor says he is forced TO consider this
determination as equally menacing to
France and the European equilibrium and
particularly as it was rendered the more
significant by the communications made
by Prussia to the cabinets of Europe,
giving an account Of the refusal to re.
ceive the French ambassador. The IA.
per concludes
The French government, therefore,
taking steps for the defense Of her honor
and injured interests, and having adopted
all measures which circumstances render
necessary, considers itself at war with
Prussia.
