REPORTED PROPOSED TREATY.
LONDON, July 26-The 77mes publishes
the project of treaty submitted to the Prus-
sian Government by the French and guar
antees the authenticity. The preamble sets
forth, that the King Of Prussia and Emperor
Of the French in order to strengthen the ties
of friendship between the two governmental,
have hereby concluded the sut1oined treaty.
In the first article Napoleon admits and rec
cognizes the Late acquisition Of Prussia,
from Austria, and in the second, the Prussian
King engages to facilitate the French acquisi-
ton Of Luxemburg; in the third the Emperor
aouuiesDes in the fate Of the South German
States; Austria is excepted in the fourth, the
French finding that il is necessary to absorb
Belgium, and Prussia lends her assistance To
that measure; the fifth article is the usual
one of an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween the two nations. Ts this arrangement
the reply of Prussia was short and decisive.
She positively refused to consider any such
proposition coming from France. This dec
faration of Prussia not to listen to any over
lures from France Is the real cause Of the
present war.

scribing the movements of the troops. That

sAARLOUIs.
The third division marched out on Mon
day morning, I'D inst, and by this time is
at Balong, on the road to Saarlouis. The
Imperial guard is reported on its way to
Metz, but their probable destination r. Nancy.
The authorities prohibit the sale Of military
maps to civilians, oficers only can lHly them.
No goods are permitted to leave BY rail, ex-
cept by the quarter masters orders. The
factories are unable to obtain coal and will
be obliged to close. Manhal Bazaine is
sending everywhere for maps Of Bavaria.
The military chest arrived this morning; all
the money is in gold, which shows that the
French intend to quit the territory and carry
on the campaign where French notes would
not be taken.
GUNBOATS ON THE RHINE.
Great importance il attached here to the
g,lnboats, which will be used a. in the Amer
lean war, and act on the Rhine, the Moeelle,
and possibly on the Saar, should the Prus-
slams defend that stream. Each g1lnboat
carries one heavy gun, and is manned BY
twelve men, and all are commanded by
Lieut. de Vaisseare. 1t is believed that the
Prnssians have no gunboats.
Everything is quiet at Luxemburg. Com
munication with Germany is easy.
UNITY OF GERMANY.
BERLIN, July 25-The official Journal

ance with the expressed wishes of the people
for the benefit of the entire Fatherland, and
for the elevation of the Princes and the peO-
pie, thus conciliating all opposition. He
concludes by saying that the right and unity
of Germany need no new assurances, and
that they will lead to durable peace, and
complete German unity and independence.

trality similar to that issued by Russia.
ENGLAND.
THE SECRET TREATY.
LONDON, July a6-Nearly all the Jour
mails If London have editorial remarks, this
morning, on the secret treaty, all similar in
tone. France must explain this offensive
treaty." are the words of the 1smcs and the
burden of the London press. The Times in
| particular is seeking to make the treaty q
| prefext for the intervention of England in
! favor Of Prussia.
THE ATTITUDE OF IRELAND
Is also commented upon. After giving the
details of many meetings recently held in
| Ireland, and their strong resolutions of SYM
pathy for France which have been adopted,
the Times ass.erts that the sympathy Is alto
gether due to Catholicism and hatred Of Ger
man Prote.tantism.
CRIsIs-PUBLC OPINION.
NEw York, July 26-The Tribwns has
the following important special from London
dated Yesterday:
English feeling has been profoundly moved
| BY the treaty between France and Prussia.
| The grave urgency with which DIsraeli, in
the House this afternoon, questioned the
! government, justly reflected the general
| emotion. The conversation among the
members turned on no other topic. Mr.
Gladstone's reply, while declining absolutely
to commit the government to any opinion or
| declaration whatever, betrayed in a manner
more than in words an unmisakable appre-
| he,,siOn that the document might prove au-
| thentic. His answer was given with pale
| face and lsesitasing lip, when be SIT down the
house felt that England's relation With the
continental trouble had grown suddenly
| cloee If not alarming. To the mention Of Bel
| GUM the House responded with an unwone-
| ed thrill Of sympathy and clear recogni-
ton Of EnglaDd's obligations to mo-
lest her. Il r. understood that
immediate communications were made BY
the Government to lbs agents at Berlin and
| Paris, and that the French Government will
have an instant opportunity to admit or deny
its responsibility for the alleged treaty. 1t
is believed here, that If genuine, It vas pro-
posed by the French, while it. rejection Is
due to Prussia. The copy Of the T.es is
thought to have been supplied from Berlin.
1t is certain that the 7SHss would not have
published Il unless On evidence deemed con
elusive 1t w.s said privately this afternoon
in the House, that the copy was originally
Offered to Earl Granville, but that he refused
it. the Eneiish Government prefesring ID
suppression.
