Tbe eirealarthen mentions the candidature ofjPrinte Hohenzollern. end declares that the Berlin cabinet hoped to place the Prince on the Throne of Charles V. by a surprise. be lieving Europe would accept the accomplish- ed fact. and that France, In Lisette of her tem porary displeasure, would hesitate to oppose the express will of the Spanish people, who were friendly to dung The French govern ment, Informed ofer from this Intrigue. did not hesitate to denounce It to the Repre sentative.' of the people and to foreign pow er'. All have felt that Prussia was alone In her unscrupulous policy, and that knowing , herself to be without support In the common right, she has, nevertheless. naught to im pose upon Europe the feather abuse of FO dan gerous an extension of her Influence.

The circular cites as proof be cases of Ihdglunt. Greece and Naples—the refusal of the Great Powers to elbow any of their Princes to mount those thrones. • The circular then mentions the withdrawal of the Hohenzollern, the refusal of Pruisin to give guarantees, and other incidents hich have followed. adding that France ought to demand guarantees since Prussia had aireedy given her word that the Prince of Hohenzof len; should not mount the throne of Spain._ When In March. 1/160, - there had been a ques tion of ;his candidature, at that time the French 31Hister at Berlin told the Hang that no Prussian could reign injipain.

If assurances thee, solemn cannot be relied upon. diplomatic intercourse must cease. In repudiating such pledges, Prussia challenges France, who nownnly demands, in view of preview; tergiversation, that the for mer renunciation of her designs be made real and permanent. The circular concludes by declaring that history must assign to Prussia the reeponsi flinty for a wer which she had the means of avoiding and which. while she affects to deplore U. she has rather sought. and adds: ..'ender what circumattutoes has she done, this?
