MONARCHY IN FRANCE,
Tho Probable Policy Of Prussia.
Correspondence Philadelphia Press.l
It's folly TO suppose that Prussia will stand
by to sec formed around her q combination
Intended to rob her Of all the fruits OF her
policy for the last twelve yoare.
Tho restoration Of Henry V means q war
Of revenge, war In which oil the power Of
tho Church, all the prestige Of Legitimacy will
he pressed into the service Of the foe. II !
understand tho temper Of Germany, she Ii
profoundly In earnest In this matter. She
does not desire war, but neither does shc
shrink from 1t; and II tho madness OF clerical
fanaticism In France forces her again TO draw
the sword, Prussia will punish her trouble
some nelghbor In o way for which the his
tory Of national Establishments has no parallel,
provided her southern coufcdcratcs, under
worked by ultramoutanism, remain faithful
TO her, rs they were In 1870.
On tho other side, who could answer for
Russia's good will towards the Cabinet oil
Berlin II the natural alliance with france
already based upon community OF inter-
ests, or, more properly, upon the Diversity in
tb, iptorc.ts Of the two countrlcs, should ofier
IN cement itself by principle which Is indis'
pcnsablc to the Car?
Tn, restoration OF tho Bourbons would
sur,ly give a fresh impetus to ultramontane
,,oycmrnts, at the same time inficting yio-
liant sbock on the Andrassy Ministry In Aus
tria. while holding out 10 Russia great In
,luccmcnts In the name Of religion and So
Clcty.
Hence, a very embarrassing state Of af-
fairs for Prussia might be created Thus
are explained the extraordinary honors and
festivities with which Victor Emanuel was
welcomed here fortnight ago. In spite oil
tho circumlocutions aud scm-denials given
10 my assertion that special convention
had been drawn up and signed between Italy
and Prussia the fact Is now generally ac-
knowlctlgcd, as II would have been hard
tack to play with words any longer AFTER the
publication Of the leading editorial Issued ny
kismnrck's organ, Die Norddeusche dl9anefHe
Ztitung, OF which have sent you long cx-
tract.
There is no treaty, but there Is q conyen-
tion-which, In fact, Is quite the samc-and
that formal alliance Of the great barrack'
with the last military power In Europe, as TO
the quality of It's army, at least, proves that
in the conflict with the Roman Catholic
Church the slightest advantage cannot safely
DO despiscd.
SOLDIERS VIEW OF AFFAIRS.
uFyery statesman and politician OF the
now Empire from Prince Won Bismarck down
to the village oracle, makes no secret OF the
universal expectation that the campaign OF
the Rhine will have 10 be fought over again.
The conviction that Germany has another
war to wage with France remains Us strong
rs ever In the mind aud soul Of every German
thinker and ruler. On every side and In
every quarter the preparations arc being
made to insure victory for the second and
decisive passo darmes between Franco and
Germany.
"Fortincations are doubled and trebled.
The annual military contingents are largely
increased. The apprchended hostility of the
Roman Catholic Church Is being anticipated
by the scycrest aud most sweeping enact
ments. The King Of Italy himself, the an
cicnt ally Of the Napolcons, the mcnaced
prey of tho Bourbons, has been secured for
the German alliance, II not so as TO render
active assistance-for every one here holds in
very little esteem the Italian soldiers-at
least so as not TO counteract the designs OF
Germany. The policy of Won Bismarck Is
ready for oil emergencies, the sword oil Won
Mollke Is sharpencd anaw, and should the
occasion arise-lf wanted the Imperial Chan
Cellor knows how to bring forth nice one
Germany Is ready"
