LATEST EUROPEAN REPORTS.

THE FORMAL WITHDRAWAL OF PRINCE LEOPOLD
TELEGRAPHED TO MADRID-THE POSITION
OF THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT.
PARIS, Tuesday, July u, 1870.
The formal withdrawal of Prince Leopold has been
teegraphed to Madrid. His action is placed solely
on the ground that in consequence of the insult
which had been offered to Spanish honor the Cortes
would be guided in their vote by deter
mination to uphold the independence of the
nation, and therefore the election would not be q
spontaneous and sincere expression in favor of the
Prince, without which he would not be willing to
ascend the throne. Prussia maintains her dignity
intact, and yields not an inch to the French de-
mands.
The British Government has addressed circular
note to its representatives abroad defining its posi-
ton in the Spanish affair The note deprecates the
discourtesy of Spain in concealing from friendly
power negotiations with foreign prince in connec-
ton with the Spanish throne regrets the
threatening tone Of France which is cal
culated to obstruct explanations and an
amicable settlement, and approves of Prussas posi-
ton in the absence of proof of her completely in the
intrigue. While the election of Prince Leopold
would be destitute of political Importance, England
will do all in her power to induce him to with
draw in order to preserve the peace of Europe.
