coolly, and say the election of Leopold is the con-

not interfere, but remain NEUTRAL.
Prussia is arming the Baltic ports.
The general excitement does not seem to have
abated, while the better opinion seems TO be that

French press is imprudently mild on the action
taken by Prussia in the Spanish question. The
selection of the Prince Hohenzollern depends
