TEtEGaAMs TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
The following special despatch to the
tiERALD has been received from our CORE
Spondent in the capital of Great Britain =
LONDON April Is, 1872.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper of this city,
published Continental correspondence and
Editorial article few days since, in which
1T was reported as news and alleged authorita-
lively as matter Of fact, that an invasion Of
France by the Prussians was imminent unless
The military preparations carried on by the
Wrench government were discontinued.
PRUssIAN PRESS ENDORSEMENT.
The Augsburg Algemeine press regards the
English statements in this direction as earn
estly declaring the purpose and polity Of
Prince Bismarck. The German writer sets
Forth, in support of his conviction, that all
the Prussan soldiers whose term of service in
the army had not completely expired, but who
Were permitted to 60 home at the termination
of the late war between Germany and France,
pre- now recalled to their regimental colors by
khe War Office authorities in Berlin.
THE pRuss1AN ULr1MAruM.
The London Telegraph declares, in its issue
of this morning, that His Excellency Count
Won Arnim, German Ambassador to France,
presented the ultimatum of the government Of
His Majesty Emperor William on this subject
to President Theirs and the Ministry of the
French republic, OF Versailles, on Monday,
hnd that the Minister communicated, at the
same time, to the French authorities, in the
words of the ultimatum, that the government
of the German Emperor sees in the French
Army bill and in the speeches delivered by
President Theirs on the subject, menaces to
the peaceful relations now existing between
France and Prussia, as well as the drift of an
executive French programme for the eventual
Reputation of the issues Of the war,
by denial Of the Indebtedness Of
France, between the Powers. Germany, it is
added, cannot stand still while France mus
tiers and collects men and arms for another
confict at war; but on the other hand, the
German government must use the powers
which it possesses to peremptorily require
change of policy on the part of France. If
The French governmental answer to this mes
Bage of the Prussian Cabinet is not despatched
TO Berlin Immediately, and if the reply is not
distinctly satisfactory to the Prussian govern
ment, Emperor Williams troops will proceed
to occupy such cities and territory Of France
US will give to His Majesty's army command
lpf the country Of the republic, and any resist
ence on the part of France to this occupation
will be regarded by the Prussians as initiatory
of war between the countries.
The editor Of the Telegraph concludes his
editorial in the following words:-"We deem
. It our duty to declare the certain and solemn
fact that upon President Theirs decision this
week depends the fate of France We are not
speaking rhetorically; we measure anxiously
these most grave and momentous words
Count Won Arnim, the German Ambassador to
Trance, has carried the ultimatum to Presi-
dent THEIRS Germany sees in the French
Army bill and the speeches of President
Thiers menaces of vengeance. Prince Bis
marck, therefore, demands that the ornaments
of France be reduced and the war estimates
diminished, or the alternative will be the re-
occupation by German troops of the evacuated
French territory and war if necessary
THE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
The English press article is, no doubt, in
spired from official sources in Berlin.
