THE WAR IN EUROPE
Views of an American in Paris
Mistakes of the French Government
THE.ATTITUDE OF PRUSSIA
LETTER FROM PARIS.
toerresnondenco Ol•the Philadelphia s.s .nintz Bulletin . I
Penis, Tuesday, July 12th, 1870.—My own
private opinion is that the French Emperor,
the French Ministers, the French' press and
the French people have all been making fools
of themselves, and I shall be very much sur
prised if such does not become the opinion
•
eventually '.of every one else. Instead of
thinsing and reflecting, they have put them
selves . atoneeinto a passion; a - very • bad plan
under any circumstances, and especially in
politics, and one which almost invariably
gives your adversaries au advantage over you.
There is nothing like being "cool"
oneself'. In the first place it
generally...makes. .your . opponents -• " hot,"
which is an advantage of itself; but,
above all,it enables the judgment to act in
stead of the imagination; so that you see
things . under their true... colors, instead of •
Under • the ' . of
'.liaSsiori.:•-:.That
declaration of the Duke. de Gramont - struck
me from the first, as being one of two things:
Either it manifested a premeditated design to
push matters to extremities, which one could
scarcely believe possible; or else it
was an unstatesmanlike production,
the • fruit , either. of • yielding to
passion themselves. on the part of the au
thors of it, or of catering to the passions of
others. In e:tlic.r case it betrayed.a grievous
want of true statesmanship - and judiciousness,
to say nothing of the tremendous peril and
- responsibilityinVolved in such a step. And
now, as far as we knew at this minnent, uehlch
--is only vaguely and indefinitely, iehat has been
the result of that untoward and ill-advised
demonstration? (Why, in the first place, that
itebables,andalso,ln-a greatmea:sure,justifies
Prussia, who is taking things.Jl_coally,2„-tc-•
stand upon her dignity, and make -very little
reply, and afford very little explanation, to an
otiended --party j w ho,.begins-bytthrusting,:
gt•• into hei faCe." -- PruSSi a folds her arms and
_ Intimates that Ale has-. neither. given, -nor in
tended to give any- just ground of offence; and
that .she would have been quite ready and
willing to say so, had she been asked
to do
. so - -- properly ' and civilly. But
upon comPulsion, and Ender threat!
No ; the honor of -Fatherland forbids it. So
'hitherto 'Presida seems to have vouchsafed
little deceit with France. She has, in the first
-instance„at-least-adopted the more-digrciiied
collnie of exculpating herself in 'the eyes of
~er own countrymen .and, through them, of
resTorla worligby addressing an official
ciictilar to the North German.Ccuffederation, : -
in which she makes the declaration that both
,tie herself and all the other
Confederate governments have always
abstained from, any interference what
ever in the choice of a King of Spain, or
from exercising any influence over such
choice, out of respect for the right and inde
pendence of the Spanish people. That the
French government could not be ignorant
that this was the case ; hut that all confidential
intercourse and exchange of sentiment on the
subject bad been prevented by the tone as
sumed respecting it by the French Minister, •
and the publicity given to it in the Chamber. I
This is what the Prussian Minister of
Foreign Afihirs says in reply to the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs ; and I
leave yoit to appreciate which of the two
occupies the most advantageous stand-point
so far in the discussion. Next comes the
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affifirs. And
what says he? Why, addressing the other
States of Europe, in exculpation, evidently,
of the charges made in the Duke de Gramont's
ceclaration, M. Sagasta declares, on behalf of
the Regent, that the Spanish goverment had
addressed itself directly to the Prince Leo
pold, and to him alone, and scouts the idea
(with true Spanish pride) • of_ .'-'-foreign_intlu
once " (implied in the French charge) being
allowed to prevail in a matter touching the
Spanish throne and Spanish honor. '
NoW what can France say to these explicit
declarations, and what can 'she do in face of
them? 'What plausible ground do they leave
bee for marching an army either across the
Ilbine - or the Pyrenees? And if she does
neither, after such thrusts and big words, and
sikaprepaiations, too, 'both by 'sea - and land, •
as have undoubtedly been made, will she not,
as I have said above, be very much in the po
sition of a man who has put himself into a
passion - inconsiderately and too soon, and
stands a good chance of being laughed at
when he has had time to cool down again?
The tone of some of the fire-eating Paris
journals this morning is preposterous. Ac
cording to them it is "decided already that the
Emperor Napoleon shall take . the field 'duel
command the French armies in person!"
Poor Napoleon III.! Non sum qualis cram .'
lie may exclaim. He is "no longer
what be was" in the Italian cam
paign of 1859. He has become almost as
round as a barrel and hardly tit to sit a horse.
If ho goes to the wars now; I fear it
must be like Louis • XlV.—in a coach! The
same journals have actually nominated
nis staff, and all the Marshals who
are to accompany him, and, were it not con
trary to public policy, could even- remit to you
the whole plan of the campaign ! But I trust
We have not yet arrived at these extremities.
• The effervescence has been great, and may be
'in some degree estimated by a fall of three per
- cent-on the - Bourse - last - weekand••• a'further
:decline of-one per cent. again yesterday. pie .
iniSchief of all this is 'no doubt very great; but
still ittsbetter than war, and. one may, still
hope that the safety-valve may ward . off the
explosion. A curious incident in the affair - is
.that the.weather has been so stormy and the
atmosphere so- charged -with- electricity that
the telegraphic wires almost ceased to act,aud
several despatches from - Bms (where the King
-- of - Prussia - now - is) - to - St -- Clonit have arrived at
the` atter
--- •
Everything else is forgotten in prose ce . of •
the excitement caused by the above affair:
Even the thunder shoWer which fell two days
ago, and would otherwise have been regarded
almost as a curiosity after. three or four
months' dust and drought, passed without at
tention or even thankfulnesS. The very har
vest itself is unthought of under the pre-occu
pation of the moment. Very extensive naval
preparations are undoubtedly going on at the

has been decided on beforehand to make the
Spanish question an excuse for bringing on
the German and European question, and to
fight out the grudge between France and
Prussia, I must continue to hope that the
peace of this continent will not he disturbed.
THE REPORTED SECRET TREATY.
Great Excitement In England..
Loisnoli, July 25.—The English feeling has
been profoundly moved by the publication this
morning in the Times of a proposed treaty be
tween France and Prussia. The grave
urgency" with Which Disraeli, in the House,
ibis afternoon questioned the government
justly. , retiected. the ":general • emotion: • tThe
conversation among members of Par
liament turned on no other- topic. Mr.
Gladstone, in his reply, while de
clining absolutely to commit the gov
erment to any opinion or declaration what
ever, betrayed in manner mote than words
the unmistakable apprehension that the docu
ment might prove"authentic. His anawer
was given with a pale face and hesitating lip.
When he sat down, the House felt that Engl
land's relation with the continental troubles
had grown suddenly close, if not alarming.
To. -the. mention- of Belgium - the >House :re:,
sponded with an unwonted thrill of -sytit
pathy and clear recognition of England's
obligations to protect her. It is understood
that immediate communications were made
by the government to the agents at Berlin and
Paris, and that the French Government will
haveinstant opportunity to admit or deny its
respotsibility for the alleged treaty. It is be
lieved here that if the treaty. is . genuine, its
proposal was French, and its rejection due to
Prussia. The Tinta , s's cony is thought to have
i,,_•en supplied from Berlin. It is cer
-ain that the Times would. not have pub
liNbed it unless on evidence deemed to be con
elusive. It was said privately, this afternoon,
the Housw; that- it copy • was. originally
'tiered to Lord Granville, but refused by the
ti:nglish Government, preferring its suppres
-ton;
It is supposed that alinsion was made td the
-anie subject in Mr. eardwell's answer to a
question in the House abotit breechloaders,
when he said that great zraportance was &largo - A
tre:frops.
the Daily -Yews, which has brilliantly led
the opinion of England on the war question,
r ill say to-morrow that it IfirimiloSsible_not_to.
,itirnit that the graVity of the present Etiro
-I±_an crisp has for AIL neutral _nations- been:
. nimensely increased by the publication of the
prof used treaty. It completely expresses
what everybody : believes is the favorite policy
ird cherished design of.the French Emperor.
It is also a'secretrtreary against England and
the oiler of a league offensive and defensive.
As to its genuineness the public may be asked
o suspentl their-,judgment, --since---Gladston:
.!nd Lord Granville say the two governments
concerned will be compelled to speak. Sup
posing-thp-ofoposals ..were- really- made- by
France to Prussia. our Imperial friend and
:illy is presented in an aspect not calculated
hnt,k,__Eng,lisb-sympathiv-_---Nvitlr---liis
..ourse. Napoleon was ready not only to throw
ve_r_lour . alliance _._.for __to__
break it at any moment by a military advance
into Belgium, not only in direct infraction of
our friendship, but in defiance of our power.
1 t is difficult to believe in so much had faith.
Did Prussia also listen to such proposals?
There is a certain insoleoce of tone towards
Prussia in the document, suggesting that if
sent, it was a kind of ultimatum.
There was no real inducement held out to
Prussia. In the meantime, the whole political
interest of the movement is concentrated on
the publication. We should be glad to have
the completest assurance that no such propo
al was known to either government. Public
opinion in this country is already sufficiently
weighty in Prussia's favor, but this treaty
would make our neutrality difficult, if not im
possible.
Lord Granville will make a statement in the
[louse of Lords on Thursday as to the diplo
matic negotiation which preceded the out
break of the war, and the part tie English
government took.
Scenes in the French Parliament.
Frern Galignanre Mcle,senger, July 13.]
The Legislative Boay sat yesterday, M.
Schneider in the chair. Several reports and
petitions were presented. The Duke de
(iraniont, Minister of Foreign Aflairs,
ascended the tribune and said :
Gc /aim : The government comprehends
the impatience of the Chamber and of the
country, and shares in their anxiety. But it
cannot as yet possibly announce any definite
result. It awaits - the- answer_ on.-which-its
resolutions depend. All the Cabinets with
-which we have communicated appear to admit
I hat our causes of complaint are legitimate.
I hope to be very shortly iu a position to en
lighten the House, but to-day I appeal to its
patriotism and to the political good sense of
each member to beg them to be content for
he liniment with this incomplete statement.
Loud applause.)
, Id. Arago asked if the questions addressed
the Vrencli Cabinet related,onlylo the spe
cial incident concerning Ar4rshid.Prfin's
of the crown to Prince-Leopold. If that were
the case, he believed, that a satisfactory reply
might be hoped for, but if, on the contrary,
complex questions had been mixed up in it,
we consider them," he added, "as a pre
text for going to war." [Noise. l The Duke
tie Gramont rose, but on cries front all sides
not to reply, he sat down. The President then
declared the incident to be closed.
under date Wednesday night, July
13, the Paris correspondent oL the London
t ytoterr/ communicates the following interest
ing details of an exciting scene in the French
Obamber with reference to the Spanish com
plication :
Last Thursday (he says) I predicted that in
all probability if the declaration of M. de
Grainont did not lead to war, it must inevita
bly bring about the overthrow of the 011ivior
administration. The indecorous conduct of
M. Emile O]livier in revealing prematurely
the El ohenzollern despatch to the miscella
neous crowd in the Salle des Pas Pardus, has
converted that surmise into a certainty; and
though he himself still clings to office, it is re
ported that Marshal Lebieuf and Admiral Ri
gault de Genouilly haVe tendered their resig
nations. The Emperor may prevail upon them
to keep their seats for a few days longer, until
after the interpellations, which are to be dis
cussed in the Corps Legisiatif on :Friday, but
we may consider the break up of -the :present
administration-as certaiM ---- .NOne - of7 - th e - 7 oth - er -
Ministers will care.to retain 'ofliao under M.
I telegraphed to you this morning that peace
was assured. The resignation of the Prince of
Hohenzollern cuts the ground from the feet of
the French Government; but,as you will have
seen by the declaration of AI: de Gramont,
which I telegraphed this afternoon, the Prus
sian Government has not consented to do pen
ance in sackcloth and ashes as was required of
it. Therefore, though the danger of war is
over for the present, it-would-be-rash to ven
ture on an assertion that it may not rise
again to-morrow, next week or the next
' -
month.
TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1870.
Here is a report of what took place in the'
Corps Leoislabf this afternoon : The House
was crammed. The only Afinists present.
were. M. (le Gramont and M. .olifyier. The
President. called on M. de Gramont, who got
into the tribune amid breathless silence, and
said:
Gentlemen—l have some further informa
tion on another subject. Yesterday the Span
ish Ambassador officially intimated that Prince
Leopold of Hohenzollern had given up his
_candidature—to—the—Spanish—throne. The-7
negotiations we have entered into with Prus
sia were intended to bring about that result
and no other. These negotiations are still
pending, and I ate therefore unable to make a
_.detailed statement to the House. -
M. Jerome David remarked that it had been
stated yesterday in the lobby of the House
that this withdrawal came from the father of
-the Prince. Was that - so?
M. de Gramont—l have nothing to add to
what I have
.just stated. I received from the
Spanish Ambassador an official communica
tion. I have laid it before the House. .As for
the rumors circulated about thelobbies of the
House (this referred to M. 011ivier's statement
yeSterday) I haVe no concern-with them - . ['Up
roar.]
M. Jerome -DavitiThe 'cOrthritinication "I -
allude to was madepublicly in the lobbies of
this Horse by his Excellency the Keeper of
the Seals, not only to deputies but to journal
ists and all the people about lain.
M. de Eeratry—Let the despatch be read.
M. Jerome David—The despatch was taken
to the Bourse and banded about there.
_Surety
it 'Ought not to be withheld from the Chamber.
The President—Had not the House better
proceed with the orders of the day? (Uproar
and cries of " No, no.")
'The President—Of course my duty is to com
ply with. the wishes of: the House. :As the.
orders of the day . are not to be proceeded with
I call On M. Clement Duvernois.
N. Duvernois a.skeffthe House to fix a day
for discus.iug his interpellation (i.e., what
guarantee Prussia had given). He was quite
ready, but would consult the convenience of
the government.
M. Jerome David thought the answer of the
Minister so unsatisfactory that he would -give
notice of an interpel]ation to the effect that the
tardiness of the negotiations were at variance
with the deciarations made by the Minister ou
July 6th, and that he wished to question the
government as to the causes of its foreign
Policy, which had caused so much perturha
.tion at home and lowered....the_dignity. of the
nation. . .
M. de Grarnont protested against M. David's
insinuations. He slimild ask the House to fix
his interpellation Ter - Fthay: That of M. -
Dnvernois might come on the Same day.
M. de Keratry—ln defiance of all diplomatic
usage- you- sent an ultimatum. to the - 11ing . of
P_russia_from this- tribune—Yon- gave-three
days. They have now expired. You are play
ing into the hands of Prussia and Bismarck.
Asa Frenchman ; I protest.

French synipathy Meeting; in New York.
- [ From 06 fork Standard.]
A meeting of French residebta was held last
evening at Delinonico's for the purpose of or
ganizing a relief committee, and at which
every class of this community Was reprasented.
Over 400 persons were crowded into the two
parlors on the first floor, which are roomy
enough for 2.10 at the utmost, while outside the
-far-famed caravansary a—crowd-of-I;po;anable
to participate in the proceedings, had assem
bled to find out what was going, on from the
gestures-ofthose on thelialwily. - -- .r. ____:.
Mr. Gerdy having been chosen President,
and Mr. Parisot Secretary, the former made
_brief T -but-stirring- agldress: -- He-had - taw ays
onsidered war as a great calamity, but their
ItLartstliad.re-eclickeLL_their.couutry!s._appeal,.
and were ready to answer. He would not re
ply to the incensed and indecent attacks of the
German community of this'eity. Their meet
ing was to be a peaceful ono, but he would
say that the effect produced on him by such
ilemonstration.s Was that Prussia is afraid, and
that by bullying site seeks to cover her fear.
In conclusion, Mr:' , Gerdy made an eloquent

The next speaker was Mr. I). J. Twohoy.
He said he was an Irishman, but had lived 20
ears in ;New York ; his countrymen sympa
thized with the French, not only on account
of traditions and history, but because the war
was a declared one between the Saxon and
Celtic races. If France desired Irish aid it
would be afforded, for nothing would please
an Irishman more than to fight under a leader
like McMahon applause.] In conclusion the
speaker suggested a vigilance committee, to
see that the neutrality laws be strictly enforced,
and a mass-meeting of French and Irish citi
zens to counterbalance the effect of the Prus
sian demonstration.
Joe Strauss, who claimed to be an Alsatia 2 ,,,:•4

The Germans of Brooklyn held a ntassmeet
in last night, at the Brooklyn Garden, at the
junction of Fulton avonue and Joralemon
street, for the purpose of expressing their
,apathy with 1 russia during the present war
with Frarice. The garden was elaborately
decorated with PruSsian Hags, and there was
a large crowd of enthusiastic Germans pre.
sent.
Dr, Barthelnaers was chosen to preside.:: He
made a short speech in German, after which
Mr. Schemthell read a series of resolutions
setting forth that the Cie.:lll,ms of Brooklyn
constitute a " German Patriotic Society," for
supporting both the wounded soldiers and the
widows and orphans of killed soldiers, and
that the executive committee cause collections
to he made for the purpose, and that.thd reso
lutions be telegraphed to Hing.William 1., the
protector of 'Germany.
Dr. Barthelmers delivered an address in the
Gertlian language, in which he said he hadino
doubt of the success of Prussia in the present
struggle.
Ali. Stein of New York was the next speaker.
He said that an enemy worse than the plague
hail visited the old fatherland ; Napoleon, the
tyrant of France, the oppressor of freedom,
stein; to sacrifice the country on the altar of
ambition. The people of Germany would
Dever permit the tyrant and traitor to tread on
'German soil, and possess the provitide of
Rhine. (Cheers.) Germans Would never aban
don a foot of German soil, and houses and tein
ples would he given to the flames rather than
he suffered to fan into the Lauds of the world's
tyrant.(applause.)
General Siegel and several others spoke,
when the meeting adjourned, the Germans
shouting for Prussia as they ‘ left the place.

SCENES IN NEW YORK.
[From the :Timeml
At the North German Consulate.
it was full—of men and of smoke—tor each
Dutchman carried his gun,'! (pipe),. which
was loaded, and as be sucked at it continually
the smoke soon became stifling. Outside., the
smoke was almost thick enough to cut with a
knife, and the_tiavor was very.much like the
bold of an emigrant ship on arrival. The
Consul-General and the Vice-Consul were
compelled to lock themselves in their re-
spective rooms and receive communications
from visitors through the key-hole
-or—a clack in the -door. They were
prisoners, and dared not stir hence,
fearing to be overwhelmed with entreaties
from the mass without who "wanted to gp
home" to light for Paderland: One by one,
disappointed Dutchmen backed' out from the
presence of the man at the little hole in the
little window, and went away sorrowful. By
and by those who
-were fatigued with
and supporting the wall convertecithernselves
into Solid, perspiring, smoking squares, by
propping their backs against the wall and the
seats, and the remainder of their pantaloons
upon the floor. There they waited with
sublime patience until their turn should come
to turn over, get up and sprechen Deuteho at
thepan at the little hole in the little window.
Thh - c,ause of all this commotion, WSIS para,
.graph which bad` beea inserted' in one of the
morning papers, to the ellect that " the Prus
sian Government bad issued circulars to all
the Consuls in North Germany in foreign
Statds, requiring them to forward immediate
ly all Germansiliable to military duty, paying
their passage to faderland and furnishing
them with such articles _as might be neces-
Sary." if the paragraph had stopped here
the simple truth would have been told
and nothing more. But the para
graph went on to say': " They are
also empowered to forward on the same terms
all - volunteers who 'may- wish. : AO' -light for
Germany." This was the' last straw Which
broke the camel's back. This was the little
joke which sent all these enthusiastic Dutch
men to the front—window of the " two pair
back" room of the German Consuls. Volun
teer for faderland! Of course they would;
and, forsaking their lager kegs and pretzels.
this small army of .Ifrong men described above,
-forthwith rushed-to the German Consuls,-and
demanded to be sent home.
The man at the little window explained in
the purest, most unmistakable German that it
was all a mistake—a lie. That those among
his auditors who owed military service to
faderland—that is, who had emigrated to this
country lrefore they-were-of-age, and' wbtrhad -
. not become citizens of the greatest republic
.the world ever saw—would have their passage
Money paid to return home. But Prussia had ,

Drafts for , Eurnne.
Several of the German bankers have received
instructions by cable from their correspond-

send any more money, for the purpose of
covering drafts payable by bankers in the
commercial cities of the Continent, to bankers
in England, as Loudon drafts had tallon be

'I he Opposition to the Infallibility
Dogma.
Writing on the 4th inst. our Roman cor
respondent says : " The opposition to the dog
ma of infallibility has ended in a fiasco. All
the Pope wished has been accomplished by his
efusal of a prorogation, and, unable to en
ore the tropical heat of Rome in July, the
• fathers of the minority have given up the con
lest. For several days the leaders of both
sides met in conference, and it was finally de
termined that each should recommend its ora
tors to withdraw from the list inscribedfor the
tribune. In accordance with this resolution,.
sixty-eight bishops, in the sitting of the 2d,
simultaneously renounced their intention to
take part in the debate. This en
aided the Cardinal-Legate to brincr for
ward the amended preface and two first
chapters of the scheme, and put them to the
vote. The bulk of the opposition abstained
from voting, and the propositions were car
ried with only a few dissentients. After the
sitting; the Cardlnal , Legates sought an' inter:
view with the.. Pope, and remained a lbtig
time in conference with him, which gave rise
to a rumor that the division had been unfa
vorable. What the division would be, how
ever, was very well
.nnderstOod before. the
Council met; and'dle Pope remarked M . his
household that, all \'obStaeles would be sur
mounted, but that he was sinking under the'
weight which the course of &o proceed
ings east upon him. The' mumnirs -are loud
against a certain English prelate, whose
fanaticism has made him unpopular with
Goth parties in the Council, and fixed
en, him .the sobriquet of Diabolus Consilii
rutieuvi. Among the first to withdraw their
names froM the tribune's roll were Monsignors
Strossmeyer, Dupaulotqa, and Darboy, and
Cardinal Schwarzeriberg. After the voting
the Fathers made a rush from the stifling
atmophere of the ball,ltud came in a perfect
steeple-chase to the Piazza of St. Peter's, where
the few iiacres on the stand were seized by
the first corners, amidst the laughter of the
rest and of the surrounding crowd. Within a
ft w hours afterwards several of the bishops
left Rome, and Monsignor Strossmoyer is saul
to have been amon e , ,, the number, but for this
cannot vouch. 1 aqf glad to be able to con
