PARIS, July 26.-The MoaiteIr de SOir
says it learns from good source that
Prince Leopold, of Hohenzollern, and
| father, are in bad odor at Berlin on ac-

Throne. 1t adds that Count Bismarck
reproached them for their precipitation
which enabled Spain to keep clear of the
quarrel and permits France to place more
troops on the Rhine, as there is no need
of watching Spain.

Prussia and not by France.

position made at the close of the war of
1866, its publication at the present moment
is consequently unfair and mischievous.
