The telegraphic reports from Euroge, up to Friday, respecting the crisis retained their contradictoia, natur.e, and it was to be hop- ed that they efforts of the other Great Pow- ers to prevent a rupture might be success, ful. The King of Prussia refused to receive the French Ambassador charged to demand that no Hohenzollern Prince should in the future be peamitted to accept the Sparkish throne. - The curiosity of the Frettqh Seuate and, the Corps Legigatif was excited by an important announcement which was to have been maae by the Government, as the result of a long consultation with the Emperor, and which was believed would amount to a declaration of war ; but it was delayed by the reception of a despatch from Prussia, which 6hanged the position of affairs, it was said, in favour of peace. PARIS, J1113 15, 3 p.m --a-The Corps Le- gaslatif declared war against Prussia at ten minutes before one thie afternoon.. Hol- land will remain neutral in the, struggle. The belligerents have engaged to respeat the neutrality of Belgium, yet troops are ra- pidly concentratieg at Antwerp and other strategetic points. The specie and bullion in the .National Bank at Antwerp heave been removed to the Citadel.. An issue of paper Money is annoenced. 61) It is reported the Emperor received a de- spatch from Queen Victoria is morning making a last appeal for peace, and 0, simi- lar despateh was sent to the King of Pips- sia A proclamation signed by the Eiripe- ror Louis Napoleon has been prepared for distribution throughout Germany. It as- sures the German people that France. wars against Pt ussia, not Germany, and with no idea of cenquest . 'The following is the caext of the declara- tion made by the Duke de Grammont - be- fore the Senate to -day :--" The manner in which the country received our. declaratioe ofthe -6th of July, led us to commence ne- gotiations with Prussia, to -secure her recog- nition of the validity of our grievances. We did not treat with Spain, whose inde- pendence we have no wish to trammel ; nor with Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, whom we consider under 'the shadow of the King; nor have we advanced any other grievance - than that of a. Hohenzollern candidate for the Spanish throne. The Prussian Minis- ter of Foreign 'Affairs opposed to us a deter- mination not to receive our representations pretending to ignore the affair. We then addressed the King, who maintained that he was a stranger to the affair and could not interfere, except at the head of the fa- mily. We could not accept that . answer, and we demanded that the King shoula in- fluence Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern. Resistance to the project came from a citrate ter least expected. We then demanded a promise from King William for the future. This moderate demand we declared to be without reservation. The King declined to say that he would refuse in future to in- terfere with the candidature, and refused to authorize us to transmit to you the de- claration that he would in future ,oppose - the candidature. .. Yesterday we were-appra- sed that the King of Prussia had notified our Ambassador that ho would to longer receive him, and to render the rup- ture more ubvioue he notified the Cabinets Of Europe, At the same time he announc- ed that Baron Von Werther might take leave, and that the armament of Prussia had commenced. On our part we have call- ed out the reserves, and have taken the ne- cessary measures which the honour and in- terest of he country demanded. Loxpow, s'uly 14.—Mr. Gladstone stated in the:Co-in Ions to -day, in reply to a ques- tion 'from a Disraeli, that -the correspon- dence of the Government with, foreign pow- - ers, occasioned by the difference between France and Prussia, was incomplete, and the present was not the time tor its pub- lication; but he would say- the British Gov- ernment. in common '. with the European Cabinets sustained the -position taken by the Duc de Gramma that Spain was entitled to choose any one for King except a German Prin.ce. Austtia continues to profese neutrality in the quaarel between Prussia and France/ but it i4 said she will abandon it if a third power should interfere. \ . ' LONDON, July 15.—Count Bismarck has issued a circular which has been telegraph- ed in all directions notifying German ves- sels to hasten to ports of shelter.. The French declaration of war concludes as follews :—.‘ The extra constitutional changes in Prussia. awaken the slumbering recollectAons of 1814. Let us crosa'the Rhine and avenge the insults of Prussia. The victors of Jena survive." At St. Petersburg there is a strong feel - on the part of the Russian Government against France. It is believed now, that Napoleon is bent on aggressive war to des- troy the balance of power in Europe, seize an over mastering position ,and force the restoration of the Bourbons on.; Spain by arms, BERLIN July 15.—The Prussian Diet is in. session.. The chiefs of all parties assure the King of their unquallified approval of his dignified and energetic attitude,'„ A re- solution was adopted according unlimited credit for national defence. Official expressions of Ministers leads to the belief that England perenetorily forbids the occupation of Belgium by France. PARIS, July 16.—In the Corps Legisla= tif yesterday M. Thieres, in a long speech, pronounced against the declaration of the Government. He found, after all was said, that France had received satisfaction from - -,Prussia, and aver should not be made1 on her for a mere formality, M. 011ivier re- sponded to M. Thier. He said it was im- possible for the Government to dootherwise THE HURON EXPOSITOR. :JuLy 22, 1870. than. it had done M. niers again took the floor. HO recalled Mexico and Sadow- a, andsaid the ,Government had made a new blunder. The majority interrupted the speaker, but he continaed amidst the greatest agitation. When silence was re- stored, M. Gambetta demanded that all cor- respondence had with Prussia be laid be fore the Corps legislatia M. Jules Favie seconded themetion in a long speech, as- serting that France could not make war on authority of the telegraphic despatches. The Minister of Foreign affairs replied that it was necessary to make war, and to do so i4me-diate1y, to give Prussia no time to arm. If any other course was pursued be could no longer remaiainthe Ministry.' In the Senate yesterday - after the. Due de Grammont had finished his kleclaration, M. Rouher asked if any Senator wished to speak. (Loud criesof "No, no," followed.) M. Rouher then said :—" As President of this Senate, responding for the nation, ap- proves the conduct of the Government. We must place our hopes in Providence and rely upon our courage for the triumph. of Otir righ ts." PARIS, J taty 16.—The Emperor is expect- ed to head the aamy in person, and by a se- ries of rapid movements to arrive at the Rhine befol.e Patassia has completed her de- fences . BERLIN, julya6.--The King arrived here late last evening from Ems. bHia journey ,was a complete ovation from the start. Pausing at Coblentz, be was aurtouaded by an immense throng of his countrymen, who greeted him .with cheers. The King said—. "1 ant pleased with this surprise ; see to it that you behave as bravely elsewhere." LowDON, July 16.—The absolute with- drawal of Prince Leopold is generally credited. . PARIS, July 16.—The pupils of the se- cond year at the Military School of St, Cyr have been ordered to join the army with the rank of sub -lieutenants. The Empe- ror's attendants, last evening, received or- ders -to depart for the seat of war'forthwith. The steameas of the Menageries Imperiales have been despatched to Algeria, to bring home the troops now operating against the rebels in that country. The journals assert that the French Government, as soon as the result of the vote on the infallibility dogma was known here, signed an order for the recall of troops, from Rome. . ' PARIS, July 17, a.m.—There is a rumour that an engagement has taken place, near Forbach, resiltine°in a loss to the Prussians of 3,000 killed. The French loss is pliteed at 2.000 killed. eas. yet the report can be traced to no reliable source. Last night, by order of the Prussian au- thorities, railway and telepraphic communi- cation between France and Prussia was de- stroyed. The Emperor leaves for the field on Wed- nesday. Two hundred and eighty thousand French troops are ready to cross into Germany, The Zouaves, from Africa, are disembarking Marseilles. LONDON, July 16.—The neutrality of Englandaaill be difficult, and perhaps im- possible and dishonourable, in case that Hollend and Belgium should become in: - volved in the war. The Timm intimated that the recovery of Albace and Lorraine— containing the modern provinces of Moselle; Meurthe, Meese, and Voagos—on the Up- per .and Lower Rhine, arethe real objects on the part of Prussia, and in that she has the sympathies of mankind. The Times also htnts that English intervention is pro- bable' in case of Prussia's losing stiength. LONDON, July 15.—A despatch from Berlin states that the South German States responding to Prussia's notice of declaration of war, are enthusiastic in their support of the Fatherland.

Prussia proposes to invade France with an immense force. ROME,, July 16.—A. Liberal uprising is expected here, and fears are apprehended of an attack on the city. PARIS, July 18.—It is now generally be- lieved here that Russia sustains Prussia. The Cloche (Red Republican organ) aolds the Empire -answerable for a war without sufficient cause. News has been received direct from the seat of war up to one this afternoon. There has been no bloodshed as yet. The Perfect of Police has issued a proclamation requesting the citizens of Paris to make no more war demonstrations. At noon to clay the Prussian forces occupied the following -points :—Saarbruck, in Rhe- nish Prussia, and Neuberg in Rhenish Ba- varia; also a force is concentrating at Lin- den, in Hesse Darmstadt, BERLIN, July 18.—The Official .Press as- serts that Count Benedetti courted insult by repeatedly waylaying and addiessing the King after he had received the Prussian ul- timatuni, andrenewed his insolent deMands. It is said that Count Beneditti was not re- called by the French Government, but had a leave of absence granted on a matter for- eign to the queetion at issue. MADRID. July 18.—The perfects of the departments on the Spanish border have been ordered to watch -the frontiers; and al- low fix) Carlists to pass. The best feeling exists between the French and Spanish au- thorities along the line. The 'officers at Perpignan discovered a secret deposit of guns intended for the Carlists' use. The arms were seized and several men, suppos- ed to be Carlists, were arrested. LONDON, July 18.—The Prussian Gov- ernment announces the removal of alt lights, buoys, and other guides from the German coast, WASHINGTON, July 18.—All the North German steamship linesehave ceased run- ning, the United States foreign mails are stopped in Baltimore and New York.

PARIS, July 19.—La Liberte (organ of the Thiers party) gives the following as the programme of the French :—The army will first enter Hesse in order to neutralize the Southern Mites of Germany. They will then occupy and fortify the city of Frank- fort ; from this point they will be able to sweep all the Prussian territory to the left of the Rhine and will then enter Prus- sia byway of Westphalia, and a construc- tion of the Rhenish confederation wi 1 t follow. Up to this tame not even a skirmish has oc- curred. It is reported that the Ambassadors of Baden, Saxony, Hesse, Bavaria and Wur- temburg have been ordered to quit Paris.

A CHANGE AND IMPROVEMENT TwoVoiumesaYearinsteadofOne ----- The Founder and Conductor of the RURAL NEW -YORKER tkkes pleasure in annoimeing that it will hereafter be issued in Semi -Annual Vol- umes, commencing July and January. This change must be gratifying to the thousands who preserve and bind the paper for future reference, as the volumes will he less bulky and more con- veniently handled and perused. On binding Volume XX., for 1869, (containing double the number of pages given in any preceeding volume,) we found it too large for convenience, and. hence decided upon the change now aamounced—a change which it is believed will materially en- hance the usefnliness and acceptability of THE STAN DARD JOURNAL IN ITS SPHERE. In accordance with this new arrangement we shall give a Title Page and Index at the close of this month, and commence Vol. XXII, with July, thus pubhshing two volumes a year, instead of one as heretofore. Subscribers who preserve the RURAL can therefore have their copies bound as the last June number is issued, or wait until the close of the year and bind the two volnines to- gether—adopting either -course, according to their pleasure or requirements, NO INCREASE IN PRICE! • Our Terms will continue the same as now—$3 a year, or $1.50 for six months (or per vcdnme— so that the interests of present subscribers -will be promoted rather than injured by the change; for they can bind each volume separately, or two in one, at pleasure. A• complete index at the dose of every six months will prove a great conveni- ence and advantage to all who save their papers for reference, even if they are not bound.
