The following report of declaration by the French
Foreign Minister comes from private correspondent
in Paris whose position enables him to know the
facts and who guarantees the accuracy of the state
ment:
Jules Favre had been appealed to for quasl-oih-
cial sanction to the Republican demonstration al
Madrid with an intimation to Prim that he could be
President of the Spanish Republic. Fayre repned'
" The Government of France will not at this mo-
ment make any movementto encourage the Repub-
lie in Spain, and would even prefer that 1T should
not be declared The reason which oblges US to re-
fuse il that republicanism spread would ALLEVIATE
and errfy Russia and imper the negotiations pend
ing between the Provisional Government OF France
and Russia for an alliance offensive and defensive
against Prussia should the latter prove too exactng
as to terms Of peace"
In other words, if this alliance takes place ana II
is on the point of realization, Russia marches
straight upon Berlin. She has already begun 10
arm and send troops to her western frontier you
ask what can tempt Russia, Russia answers that the
same military strength which Prussia has now dl'
rected against France will sooner or later be turned
AGAINST Russia with view to the acquisition OF all
the German provinces of Russia
The correspondent adds You may make use OF
this intelligence for it cannot long remain secret
II may be depended upon absolutely.
