THE HURON tXPOSI'rOR,
JULY 15, 1870.
(Continued from eighth page.)
A report, which seems well founded, is in
circulation here, that the Prussian Minister
of War has ordered all general officers of the
Prussian army to ,;oin their _corps inimedi-
ately,

,
pecting Prince Leopold's qualifications :—
" Indisputably a beggar himself, he comes
to rule a nation of beggars."
PARIS, Juy 8:-Nothingdefinite has been
heard from Prussia. The Spanish Ambas-
sador goes to -night to Madrid, to endeavur
to make, a satisfactory arrangement.
The Ambassadors of Austria, England
and Italy had a conference to -day with the
Duc de Granunont. They seem favourable
to France:
The Emperor conferred this morning
with the Ministers of War, Navy and Jus-
tice. Military measures are already men--
tioned. Marshal Bazaine will command
one, and Gen. Lebrun the other, of two cortfs
to be made ready for immediate movement.
Marshal MacMah' n will have an .army and
General Le Boeuf will be entrusted with im-
portant command. Count Palikas takes
command of the troop&to operate against
Spain. There is great activity at the sea-
ports. °
One report absut Pi ince Lepold says he'
refused General Prim's offer of the Crown
twice, but his sister, the Duchess of Flan-
ders, induced him to accept it.
It is reported the Duke of Montpensier
las ordered has adherents not to oppose the
candidature of Prince °Leopold.

PARIS, July 9, midnight.—The Minister
of War declared to the Emperor to -day that
the army was ready to march at the .first
signal. -
No answer has been received from Prus-
ris. It is reported there will be none before
Monday.
A telegram from St. Petersburg.,reports
that the French alinister . there declared
that the coronation of Hohenzollern as King
of Spain would be regarded by France as a
cause for war.
The French Mirnisterinl journals are vio-
lent a ai::st Prim and Bismarck; and sass
that France . will not accept explanations
from them.
Some official journals journals of Berlin sty that
Bismarck is an accomplice of Prim in the
Hohenzollern intrigue, and that the= ---King
of Prussia had given pei•mis'sion to the-pre-
ject. -
PARis, July 9, 1:30 p.m.—The excite-
ment is increasing. The Bourse is- very
much excited rentes are declining, last
sales being made °:at 69f 5c., or 75c.. lower
than any figures- made -during the crisis.

There isactivity at Toulon and other
Tench ports on the Mediteranean. Large
4mbers of transports are being fitted up,
enough to bring home the entire French` ar-
my now in Algeria.
PARIS, July 9. --Circulars have been is-
sued recalling to their commands allthe of-
ficers and soldiers absent on furlough.
The military authorities of France possess
plans of all the fortresses, roads, canals, and
other public works in Prussia. Agents of
the French GoviGrnmen t are now in Hun-
gary purc'.iasin j horses, S;c., for cavalry ser-
f
vice:
PARIS. July 9, 6 p.m.—The Government
has received an answer from Prussia. In it
. Prussia makes the following points: -
1st. Disclaiming all participation in the
canaidature of Prince Leopold of Hoheii ol-
lern.
2nd. That the Prince Leopold is not even
a relation of the Royal Family.
3rd. That Gen. Prim negotiated; with
Prince Leopold, and he must be responsible
not Prussia., .
This is not satisfactory to France, and the
Duc de Grammont has forwarded another
despatch to Berlin.
Two divisions of the army have been or-
dered to Chalons. •
PARI, July 9.—At a meeting of the Dip-
lomatic Corps last evening., the Duc de,
Grammont said -that while remaining within
the limits of moderation, Frame would
abandon none of her legitimate pretensions.
He hoped the collective efforts cf the Great
Powers of Europe would preserve peace
but France had decided not to depart from
the lino of conduct traced at first."
VIENNA, July S. --Official journals 4 con-
tradict all reports of interference by Austria
in the pending difficulty between France,
Prussia and Spain, and declare that Austria
will not, under any circumstances, partici-
pate in the controversy.
VIENNA, July 9. -The Presse (semi-offi-
cial organ) to -day has an editorial imploring
Spain to reflect before precipitating a war.
MADRID, July 9.—The Epoca- of to -day
say as the dignity of Spain is yet safe. The.
Cabinet is alone compromised ; and there is
thine for the Ministers to listen to the
-voice of Europe,and stop on their perilous
course.
Olozago, the Spanish Ambassador, had a
long conference to=day with the Emperor,
.at which Chevalier Nigra, Italian Minister,
was present. It is -not certain now wheth-
er Olonzaga will leave to -night for Madrid.
LONDON, July 9. -Both here and at Liv-
erpool the breadstuffs and cotton markets
are uncertain in tone, and prices ate irregu-
lar. This is altogether due to the possibil-,
itv of a, continental war, the same influences
operating at Manchester. The excitement
does not seen to abate, while better opinion
seems to prevail that war will be avoided.
The Austrian Government is preparing
to form apermanent camp near the Prussian
frontier. A.
The selection of Prince Leopold of Ho-
henzollern depends solely on -the Spanish
Cortes. and not on the wishes of the foreign
powers, ..
Paris is considerably' excited -to-day by
rumours that Prussia is actively arming at
all the Baltic ,ports. .
Corps d' Armee now operating against the
rebels in Algeria, under General Wimpffen,
have,. been recalled.
The gazette de France says the Duke de
Grarnmont's declaration in the Corps Legis-
latif recently is equivalent to a French ul-
timatum. • The present situation is the re-
sult of Count Bismarck's intrigues. •
The Journal des Debats says the policy
of the French Government on the Spanish
question threatens to make all the Spanish
parties unite on Prince Leopold.
` M. 011ivier yesterday assured the Senate ..
that the offer of the Crown of Spain to the
Prussian Prince was an act of Gen. Prim,
and was not bindiiigon the Spanish Govern-
ment.
The French Minister of War has issued
an order to all the Generals commanding,
requiring them to report immediately the
condition ot the troops; arsenals, ammuni-
tion, Jtc., in their respective departments.
BERLIN, July 9.—The report that the
Minister at Pari, had 1
Prussians i d been rets -
1
ed is not true.
In official circles the situation is thought
to be free from danger. Count .Bismarck
has _neither 'assisted- nor advised Spain in the
Hohenzollern matter, and Napoleon's at-
tempt to hold him responsible is therefore
regarded as a mere pretext.
FLORENCE, July 9.—The press .of. Italy
back France in the question at issue with
Prussia.
PARIS, July 9, 10 p.m.—The Duke de
Grammont announced to -day that, he had at
last heard from Prussia. The French Min-
ister had an interview with King William
this afternoon. The result will he made
known.to the Charubers. on Monday.
The Monifeur thin evening says :—The
abandonment of the Hohenzollern project on
the part ot Prussia is not enough. Now
France must prevent the recommencement
of similar projects on the part of Prussia,
and demand the entire fulfilment of the
treaty of Prague, namely, the liberty of
.South Germany ; evacuation of the Fort-
ress of it Fort-
. ; renunciation of military
influence_ beyondtthe Maine, and the settle-
ment of the Schleswig-Holstein question
with Denmark.
The Journai-says :—If the silenceof I rus-
sia is prolonged until Monday, there. will be
a movement of the French troops to -the
Rhine on Tuesday.
The Pause says :—The declaration of the
Duke du CTraminont, in -the Corps Legislatif,
produced the most profound sensation in
Den mark.
'PARIS, July 10, • 6 p.m.—The excitement
on the -bourse is unabated. Rentes declined
to 69f. 25c. Negotiations continue, but it
is impossible to say what will be the result.
It was rumoured to -day that Prince Hohen-
zollern has settled the whole question by
withdrawing the acceptance of Genet al
Prim's offer ; but the Constitutional, in nn
extra, contradicts the rumour, and adds the
follow ing. The Prussian journals say their
Government has been a stranger to the can
'diclacy of the Prince. If this were so the
Prussian Government should now prove its
sincerity by forcing the Prince to renounce
the offer. The Prince is under the autho-
rity of the King of Prussia, and the latter
thus has the peace of Europe in his hands.
The answer of Prussia is expected to- night
or to -morrow. If it is unsatisfactory, the
necessary measures to enforce with arms the
rights of France will immediately be taken,
Already the Government is preparing for
the emergency.
A telegram from Ems says :—"Count Be-
nedetti, the French Ambassador, before his
interview with King William, saw Baron
Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris,
who came to consult with the King. The
Baron told the; French Minister that the
Government of Prussia. was profoundly sur-
prised -at the attitude of France. Tit could
not comprehend this haste to assumed hostil-
lities, except as a verification of the, belief
that France, for a long time desired -war on
the Rhine.
While negotiations are going on with great
activity, the Frencli Government makes no
attempt to conceal its warlike -preparations.
The Emperor remains at St. Cloud, and it
is announced -will not go to the Mineral
Springs. Couriers arrive all day and far
into the night at the Palace. The Emperor
opens the despatches himself and directs or
dictates answers. -
The journals say that Marshall Macllla-
hon has been ordered to be ready to move at
the first signal, and orders have been sent to
the commandant at Cherbourg_ to prepare a
fleet of transports for thirty thousand troops.
Large numbers ofarmy and ` naval officers
who were in Paris on leave, have disappear-
ed, and are doubtless quietly ordered to
their posts. -
PARIS, July 9, 11 p.m.—The officers of
the French Mediterranean Squadron, have
received orders to be in the Bay of Palermo
to -morrow to receive instructions.
MADRID,. July 10,—The Regent Serrano
has deferred his intended departure . from
Madrid.
BERLIN, July 10.—Military _ men here do
not appear excited about the Spanish em-
broglio. It is not thought- possible that
war will -result. The Prussian Cross Gazet-
te, ministerial oro an, disapproves of the
Duke de Grammont's declaration in the
French Chamber, and says he must know
as every one knows, that the King and Beads
of the Confederation, are all indifferent to
the elevation of Prince Leopold to the Spa-
nish throne. He had no right, in the ab-
sence of evidence, to charge, another power
with a disposition to disturb, wantonly, the
European equilibrium. Prince Leopold is
a free agent, and may or may not accept the
crown. His decision will not affect Prus-
sia's neutrality.
TouLoN, July 9.—Six war ships are pre-
paring armaments, and being put in condi-
tion for immediate action. Admiral 'Vii-
laume will be commander-in-chief of the Im-
perial navy, with Baron Konciere chief of
the . Staff. Bailors absent i'roni ports on fur-
lough have not yet been recalled, but they
have received orders to hold themseves in
readiness for duty.
NEw YORK, July 11.-4A cable despatch
from London to the New York Herald last
evening, says.the•crisis is imminent on the
continents Military preparations were go-
ing on all last night in Paris. If the can-
didaturo of Leopold is not withdrawn with-
in the next twenty-four hours the French
Minister will be recalled from Berlin and
Madrid, and war will be declared. The
conduct of France in forcing the issue and
refusing to leave the question of the throne.
to the Spanish people is strongly condemn-
ed by all Europe, and Prussia's calm, digni-
fied position is approved.
A later despatch says negotiations between
Paris and Ems are reportecl to be unsatis-
factory. Prussia, declaring her innocence
of intrigue, refuses to interfere with the
candidature of the Prince of Hohenzollern,
cn the ground that she has neither the right
of power nor inclination to dictate to Spain,
or to Prince Leopold. It is said Napoleon
would prefer to meet the issue now, rather
than after Prince Leopold is elected, especi-
ally as he bases the claims of his own dynas-
ty on -the popular vote. A large party in.
France counsel suspension of action until the
meeting of the Cortes. The general belief
is that the Emperor is determined to fight,
and will move instantly without giving
Prussia time for preparation.
The Telegraph says the war panic might
die out, `only men known to be in - the Em-
peror's confidence are selling heavily. It is
still possible to look calmly at the future.
Ministers must seek to inrpress France with
a sense of the extravagance of her preten-
sions and susceptibilities. In the absence
of real danger, eventual wards only too pro-
bable ; yet such jealousies have passed away
as in '40 and '58. - The real issue is Bosses-
sion of the left bank of the Rhine, and the
contest would last until one or other became
exhausted. France is, clearly wrong.—
Prussia denies the responsibility France as7
tribes to her ; and France . refuses td accept
the disclainier. N eutral powers must act
instantly, unitedly and firmly to prevent a
collision. , .
PARIS, J my 11.—The ilfoniteur du Loire
announces that it will no longer give pub-
licity to the movements of troops, and ex-
horts other journals to adopt similar rules.
The Constitutionnel says it is rumoured
that the .King of Prussia has approved of
Prince- Leopold of Hohenzollern as a. candi-
date.
BERLIN, July 11.—One of the semi-offi-
cial journals this morning states that France
persists in her insult to Prussia in holding
her responsible for the Hohenzollern mat-
ter.
MADRID, July 11.—The Regency has re-
newed the declaration- that the Hohenzol-
lern choice was dictated by no hostility to
France. • The Republican press of Spain
blame the Government for the present cri-
sis, and think the immediate proclamation
of a Republic the best reply to France.
The Emparcial insists that the French
aim is to force Prince Alfonzo on the Spa-
nish throne. -
PARIS, July 11.—The Gcaulois says the
horses of the Emperor have been sent to the
frontier.
It is asserted that France will not con
sent to a Congress of Powers until Prussia
yields on the Hohenzollern question. It is
reported that the telegraphic despatch sent
yesterday from Erns to the Emperor Louis
Napoleon by Count Benedetti was so alter-
ed by Prussian telegraphers that little of it
could be deciphered, and the only part
which could be understood was to the effect
that Prince Leopold had received the con-
sent of the King of Prussia tohis acceptance
of Prim's offer.
• MADRID, July 11.—It is stated that at
an interview on Saturday, the Regent Ser-
rano told the French Minister -that he nev-
er interfered with the nomination for the
Throne, as he desired that it should not be
Said of him that he wished to retain the Re-
gency. He added that in the Hohenzol-
lern affair he had acted as in all previous
cases.
NEW YORK, July 12.—A cable despatch
to the Herald says the French note to Prus-
sia makes two demands --one for the disa-
vowal of Prince Leopold's candidacy by -
Prussia, and for the withdrawal of the
Prince's name in connexion with the Span
ish crown. Prussia's answer to France is e.
pected to -morrow.
The Queen of Prussia has arrived at Ems
to use her influence for the preservation of
the peace. 1- • -
The army of Paris has received orders. to
march to the Moselle, and six -transports at
Toulon have steam up, ready to sit for Al-
geria and bring hack the troops.
The Imperial Guards'' are to contribute
the first Corps D'Armee, which will be com-
manded by Marshall Bazaine, and General
Courthal de Cissey, chief of staff, and head-
quarters at Metz.
Marshal McMahon has been ordered from
Algeria to take command of the army which
will be his chief of staff, and Generals Tros-
sard, and Pourbaki will march with him.
Orders have also been sent to Cherbourg
to prepare a fleet to transport 30,000 troops
whose destination is Hamburg and the
North Sea.
Madrid, July 1.1. A. conspiracy has
been discovered here, the object of which
was to declare a Republic. The leaders
have been arrested. -
The Paris journals contain. reports of
Prussia arming. It is said Prussia will es-
tablish
s-tablish an entrenched camp of 250,000 men
tat Sarrach, a few miles on Basle, on the
French border.
The Prussian journals have reports of im
mense movements of troops in Germany,
and represent the roads to the frontier as
encumbered with men and horses.
raven in the Grand Duchy of Baden, the
military activity is remarkable. The rail-
way transportation is arranged so that 35,-
000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry can reach
the frontier in one day.

The Chinese question was introduced in-
to the Senate on Satin -lay during the de-
bate on the Naturalization bill, when Mr.
Sumner moved to strike out the word
"white" wherever it occurs in the natural-
izstion laws. The Pacific Coast men were
all on their feet at once, and had the Mas-
sachusetts Senator thrown a bombshell am-
ong his colleagues he could not have created
greater consternation. Morton, Wilson,
and other` prominent leaders of the republi-
can party were on Sumner's back in an in-
stant, in addition to Stewart, Nye, and
Williams. Sumner himself seemed a good
deal surprised at the row he had raised, but
he planted himself squarely upon the De-
claration of Independence, and claimed for
John Chinaman all that he ever contended
for on behalf of tiambo. The Chinaman is
evidently the coming hobby of the extreme
Radical wing of the Republican party, and
as usual Sumner will lead the advance
guard. It is not likely that old fashioned
democrats like Williams, Morton and Stew-
art will follow hini. Even his colleague,
Henry Wilson, an original abolitionist, can-
not swallow the Chinaman. It is too late
in the season now for a general debate on
this subject, and its introduction is likely
to defeat the Naturalization gill; but look
out for it next session.
