A Secret Treaty Between France and Pras- sin—Mutual Territorial Absorption—Lux- emburg and Belgium to Vrance—German Union North and Souti—British National Alarm—Cabinet Statement—News from the Seat of War=Napolcon Interviewed. Lonpon, July 25, 1870. The London Times this morning publishes a pro- Jected treaty submitted by France to the Prussian goverment, and guarantees its authenticity, The following are the points of this document:— The preamble gets forth that the King of Prussia and the Experor of the French, in order to strength- eu the tes of friendship between the two govern- ments and peoples, &c., hereby conclude the sul). Joined treaty, Sj In the first article Napoleon admits and recog- izes ihe -late acquisitions of Prussia froin Austria. In the cecond the Prussian King engages to faciil- tate the French aemnninnnst Luxemburg. In the third the Emperor acqulesces in the union of the North aud South Germain States, Austria ex- cepted. fo the fourth, France finding it necessary to ab- sorb Belgium, Prussia lends her assistance to that meagure, ‘The fifth article is the usual one of offensive and defensive alliance between the two nations. The secret treaty which was projected between France and Prussia monopolizes the attention here of the public, the press and the Parliament. Intense indignation 13 manifested at the duplicity of the Powers concerned. The action of Napoleon is considered as lusulting to England. Complete ignorance of the negotiation ts professed gt the French Embaasy,here. A despatch from Brussels states that the account of the treaty projected between France and Prussia, which was printed in the London Times this morn- ing is perfectly authentic. The Belgian government Know of its existence a short time ago. {n the House of Lords, Earl Granviile, in reply to a question from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, said he Was unable to state Where the 7w#nes obtained the text of the treaty, after the announcement of the existence of sucha remarkable document it would be the duty of France and Prussia immediately and spontaneously to explain the matter to Europe. Mr. Disraeli, in the House of Commons to-night, after questioning the Foreign OMice in regard to the reported treaty, denounced the government for with- holding the correspondence on the subject. He de- clare that England could never have tolerated such a proposition. The extincuon of the kingdom of Peigium would bea calamity to Europe. He hoped the government would give all the particular. Mr. Gladstone sald he was sorry that the papers were not ready for submission, and that he was un- able to give the information required or explain how the project became public. Its purport certainly was astounding. Doubtless the Powers impilcated would explain the mystery. ‘The French base of operations extends from Strass- burg to Thionville, a few miles north of Metz. The centre is between: Bitscne and St. Avola, ‘The second line at Metz, ig capable of expansion to the centre and to Thionvilie. . Upto this hour no report of any general engage- ment has been received here. The people of Prussia will observe Wednesday wext as a day of fasting and prayer to propitiate Divine Providence and invoke a blessing on their arms. Tt tg expected that the French fleet will attack Kiel, Eleven French trigates, steering east, passed Hastings to-day. The French residents bere are liberally subseribing to the fund for the wounded. Reports received from Mayence indicate that the Prussians are shifting their position so as to face southward, The Telegraph prints to-day, in large type, a com- munication reciting an inverview recently had with the Emperor Napoleon. It says @ fortnightago the Emperor had no thought of war with Prussia, He Was still unready. But France was sitpping from his hands, and, in- order to rule, he must lead France to war. Tho Emperor related the con- tents of despatches between himself and Bismarck, claiming that the latter wanted too much and wanted it toosoon. The Emperor demanded Lux- emburg tn 1863 ag an equivalent for her neutrality in Prussia’s war with Austria. Bismarck replied by demanding Holland as an equivalent for Luxemburg. The Emperor replied to this demand of Bismarck that, should the independence of Hol- land be attacked by Prussia, it would be regarded as @ declaration of war. Count Benedettl was present at the interview when these facts were elicited, SPAIN. The Reperted Treaty with France—Prim in Council—Carlism and the Crown. Maprip, July 25, 1870, The existence of a treaty, offensive and defensive, between France and Spain 1s dented by the mints- terial organs here, but reasserted by the other jour- nals nevertheless, General Prim had a long interview yesterday with tne British Ambassador. The signal fora Carlist outbreak is momentarily expected, and all needful preparations have been made to meet it. The greater portion of the garri- son of Valladolid has been sent to the frontier to guard against Carlist irroptions in that quarter, But as Don Carlos has offered to serve in the French army, itis probable that the orders for a rising, which are known to have been issued, have been countermanded.

The King Question tn Madrid—Prim’s Sur- prise of the Nation—Revolution or Royal ty The Hohenzollern Candidate and His ParentageHard Names aud Plenty of TitlesA European War at Hand. MapRiD, July 8, 1870. Inone of my former letters I told you that the Cortes closed its session without the grand king question being settled, notwithstanding Prim’s solemn promise some time previous that the Depu- les should not return to their homes before the SPanish throne was filled; or, rather, that a Mt and Proper King, posseasing all the qualidcations re- quired by the Spanish people, as a body, should be voted. Without touching upon the sincerity of big promise sufice it forthe present to say that the Cortes broke up and its members retired to. their different provinces, leaving the question even more complicated than it was after the revolution of 1863, . Searcely, however, had the Fathers of the Goun- try, after much ado, doing nothing. settled down With their families for the vacation, wien a pleco of news burst in the capital of the Peningula lke a monster bombshell, that the long desired monarch, . adorned with all the necessary requirements, had not only been found, but had graciously conde- scended to accept the crown of St. Ferdinand, Philip IL and the Emperor Charles V.—a crown which, whatever may have been its value tn former times, 4g to all appearances In the present day scarcely “worth @ song,” for durtug the last two years It has been dragged through the mire all over Europe and spurned by even the most iyaignificant of petty princes, It will be remembered that in one of the sessions in Congress General Prinn threw out certain mys- terlous hints, to the effect that he had discovered a Ukely bird for the nest; but unfortunately for the general and statesman, just as the edifice of the re- Volution was about to be “crowned,” the negotiator ov the part of the caddidate stiil being in Madrid, the revolution of Barcelona and Gracia, with all its terrible consequences, broke out, added to which, on another occasion, a most disagreeable and unruly session, Witnessed by the sald agent or n gotiator, filled him with alarm, and he abandoned the Spanish sol), thoroughly disgusted with the “cosas de Es- pafia.”” Touching the steps that have since been taken in the matter, very littie tg known; in fact nothing more than that a certain Deputy in the confidence of General Prim was absent from the Peninsula on a special mission. The news that a foture king for Spat had been discovered in the misty horizon of the North spread like wildfire over the country, and hundreds were the speculations as to who the stranger Was, aud where he hailed from. A council of Ministers was nnmediately called, and the matter sur le (apis was gravely discussed in the presenco of his Highness the Regent in la Granja, at one of the ex-Royal palaces, and J am told that the Ministry have resolved to support through thick and thin the candidate proposed by General Prim. Prim told Mr. Layard, the British Minister, that the Cortes would meet on the 20th inst., and the election of the monarch would take piace on the 26th, stating, also, that he felt convinced that the Deputies would eiect tne Prussian candidate as King of Spain. THE MAN. Who is the new candidate? is now all the cry. The government candidate is named Leopold stepnen Charles Anthony Gustave Edward Thasilo Hohen- zollern Sigmaringen, He was born on. the 22d September, 1835. On the 12th September, 1961, he- married the Duchess of Saxony, daughter of Maria de la Gloria LL, late Queen of Portugal, and is sister of Dom Luis, present King of Portugal.

The candidate 1s, besides, related to many of the reigning families, such a8 Napoleon III., brother-in- law to the Queen of Portugal, ana some others. FAMILY COMPLIOATIONS. These particulars I bring before the potice of your readers, as they will not only show the parties likely to be {n favor and those against the new candidate, but will serve for reference In the important quea- tions that are sure to rise out of the Prussian candi- dature. The French Ministers have been napping, and Prim has got the start of them. PRANCH VERY PUSSY. The French Minister at Berlin knew potbing whatever of the candidature “sur le iapis,” an Baron Mercier, the French representative here, knew nothing of it tll it was pubilshed in the Spanish papers, and he is now in @ dreadiul fit of bad temper avout it By the time you recefve this you will no doubt have accounts of the impression the new candida- ture has produced in the minus of the government and people of the French empire. They consider the candidature as the work of Prusala, and gee thelr country menaced front and rear y Tuga. They say that the honor and dignity of France Gre in dan- a and declare that tuey will not peters os ower to place such @ Prince as Leopold on the throne of Spain. . THE SPANISH PEOPLB. The Spaniards, who declare that no Power shall force a king into the vacant throne, resent in the most unmistaken terms the arrogaut language of their neighbors, the French. It is evident, trom all I can see and hear, that Napoleon favors the candi- dature of Prince ‘Alphonse. He threw obstacles in the way of the candidature of Dom Fernando, of Por: tugal, a8 also thatof the Duke of Genoa. He de- clared he would never consent to the establiaument of & republic in Spain, and that he would not tolerate the candidature of Montpensier. We shall see what the “French Owsar” wili do now. A EUROPEAN AND GRBAT WAR. “War | war | is all the ory here now, nota mere French and Spanish turnout, bata European strug: gio in Which all tue Powers are to take part—a gen- Cral conflagration and extermination such as no history has on record. Prim can get Prince Leopold voted if he likes, in fact just now he is the only one that can now oppose it, for there are parties well aware that they have no chance ip voting a king of their own choice, but being monarchists will vowe Any king rather thao none at all; therefore I ere that Prim, baving a toresight of the troubles likely to ensue, vir have to get some of his friends to vote against the Prussian candidature, Bub then on tie other hand the Prussian candidature hag now be+ come @ cabinet quesion, aud if he be not voted the Mivistry will have to resign. We all know resiguing is about the last thing Prim thinks of doing. @ Spanish History of the Negotiations.

Paris, July 8, 1870, Inspite of the heat and drought of this excep- tional summer Paris has been thrown into lively commotion by the unexpected news that Bismarck has been quietly at work manufacturing a king for Spain, When tt was announced that a prince of the house of Prussia had agreed to accept the crown, that Prim through a formal deputation had ten- dered to him, surprise of by no means the most agreeable kind seized upon all good Frenchmen. The aggrandizement of Prussia in Germany which | followed the campaign of 1866 was a souroe of deep annoyance at the time, and it was only the other day that M. Thiers characterized it In the tribune as. an “irreparable misfortune.” The diplomacy of Prus- sta in obtatning the alliance of Italy in the contest with Austria was likewise a cause of profound vexa- tion, and naturally enough, for Italy owed every- | thing to France, and yet she turned round on the first occasion and allied herself to the great ri French influence in Europe. Imagine, feeiings of incredulity and aston. now prevailing here since the dd out that Bismarck has been slyly at works for some time past in ap adroit attempt (o put the Spauish crown on the head of a Prusstan’ prince The very audacity of the thing has'taken people's breath away. From the time of Lou's XIY,, at least, It has always been the pollcy of France to put atooi, if not an ally, on the Spanish throne. and more than once France has patd dearly for this object of her ambition. Napoleon I, owed no small part of bis misfortunes to an effort of this kind, and Louls Philippe lost prestige, to say the least, tn a slinilar essay.

The Germans, more enthusiastic than the Prus- sians, and, as becomes citizens of the United States, | more frantically loyal to the “William Rex” than the | sons of Vaterland themselves, taik of vengeance against France, and promise to do wonders in tho way of subscriptions in aid of the House of Honen- zollern, Were it possible to transport to the Rhine 100,000 barrels of lager, the patriots of the Bowery, who clamor for the destruction of the Napoleonic dynasty, Would be certain to send a large army to | take care of [t, Whether their enthusiasm would vanish with that exhilarating fuld ts another (hing. Among the more thoughtful and less Prussianizea Germans to our midst this wild enthusiasm for tno | Hohenzoiiern family finds no sympathy. They say, with what truth the reader for himself, that the quarrel between Prussia and France {3 not an affair of peoples, and is, therefore, | @ matter that should concern republicans but very little. Such wars were inimical to liberty, and | should not be encouraged by a free people. If it | were a war, these people say, which threetened the | free Institutions of Germany and had for its object a } retrograde movement in the polity of Europe, | it would then become the duty of all | who bore the German name to side with Prussia, but it is no sach thing. It 18 a quarrel be- tween two or more*ambitious men, who mutually hope to aggrandize themseives at the expense of the unfortunate and despottcaily governed people.

AMONG THS The war feeling among the Germans is ca the in- crease. It seems that the old Teutonic or rather Cherauscan character of the people je now being developed, The more they are opposed tho more they resist, thetr resisting foree increasing with the force of pressure. What is it tuat they would not do GERHANS. \ for the dear old Fatheriand? They are ready, 60 they say, to speud money and blood for the soll of \helr ancestors, and wrong would they be were they not ready so to do. No wonder, then, if they became exasperated at an article ‘in a Bohemian | morning paper, publisiied yesterday, in which the Germans in this country are called descendants of Hessian cutthroats, mscreants and horse thieves, The paper itself 13 read bat Little gencraily, and among the Germans iis readers count within afew hondred, But this article was soon handed about, spoken of and commented on—av honor whieh the paper In question lias not enjoyed for some time— dt Would not be uureasonable to expect some demonstration inst a journal which uses Its | to defame and ibe! all the Germaps i this county. 1, whe Ridicule was heaped upon another paper, claims superiority for lis criticism of the conduct of War. [ts statement that the Prusstans had crossed the Rhine at Saarlouis, the 8 deed belng more thanaday’s Journey from the Roine, was cause enough for tic tierriment. The Arion- ites, or at least t portion of thew, got somewhat ex- cited over the news received by some that Mr. F. Remmertz had been made to do duty in the Prussian: army. Mr. Remmertz, as the general pubile will recoliect, Was (tle capital Casper In the Art. on’s representations fast winter ot opera of “Der Freiscuutz,” and who lately gone to Germany on a Vis It ia sald now that being stil lable to tnilitary duty in Prussia, he had to join the army. Others, however, contradict this statement, and assert that he only went tc Bog- Jand. THE PRUSSIAN CONSULATE, or rather, as it should be oMiclally named, the oMee of the Consul General of the North German Unton, was thronged yesterday with people. They were all de- strous of cecuring a passage to Europe atthe expense of the Prussian government, being willing to promise that on arriving they would join the armed hosts of Germany against France. These people were indu- ence | to «io 80 by statements originally pubitshed tn the German papers of this city, which were tele- graphed to the Diet to tue effect that ail Germans lable to military duty in their own coun'ry would be forwarded home by the North German Consul here, and furnished with such articies ag they may waus for the trip. One hundred and thirty-nine men made app'ieation yesterday at the North German Consulate to be thus conveyed to the “seat or war.” It was a scene of some Interest to notice these people. Many of them cama With their baggage already, perbaps In the ve put on board ship at once. Some German, born Atos | were among them, preparing to join the lana o! | their forefathers at the expense of King Willtum’s | exchequer. ‘The answer they received was tnvaria- bly that no euch order had been received; that the uiblications in the German newspapers were not re- Hable and that no 6 order ts likely to be tasued. On inquiry Dr. Jonannes Roesing stated to a eg i | Seatative of the Heraty that there was no inten! nor would there be, of turning the oiMce of the Con- atlate Genera! ot North Germany into @ recrat Station, sut there was something done, Of the 13: applicants for trausport to Europe it was found that eleven men owed miliary duty to their native couniry; that they had come | to New York wader the itmpressioo of being sent on to Germany at the goverment expense; that they were poor and alinost penniless, and, consequently, the oMicers of the Consulate, of their own accor furnished them with ieans to pay thelr passage, A circular issued fron Ub tho German Consul General iast All those who are under obligation to report for military y have to do 40 by their own means, when public notice have been givea of the mobilization of tho army. No such notiication has as yet reached the consulate. Those who come hither under a intsappretcnelon, and are ‘without 3, May be anpported by tals consulate, Under no clr inees, however, with tits consulate be turned into a re erujting ofica. The reason for ths circular {8 quite evident to those who know the history of American legislauion. In Ue year 1818 a law was passed by Congress, now known 4s the Neutrality act, which would prevent any such proceeding as the’ Pruasian or North Ger- man Consul denies to have taken, If 1t were true, | 43 Was stated in the German papers, that the gov- } er at of North Germany were, throagh its repre- scutativ etting inen here with the understans ing that they shouid fight in its armies, the course rniment would be clear, and What President Pierce did In 1853, with the Minister and Consuls of Eugiand would be repeated. The German Consul knows Us, and he is such an intelligent gentieman and 30 well versed ta inter- national law, that unless positively instructed ne would not, of lis own accord, make any step con- trary to the law of the lant. One reason why bo would not do so is the fact that he seems determined on watebing the French and their Fenian sympa- thizers, and if any attempt should be made by these latter to contravene the neutraitty laws of the United States the German representatives would not be un- likely to call the attention of the United States government to the fact. Both parties thus watching each other, it 1s not to be supposed that either will | be careiess of the laws of this country or rash ip Violating them. iHe G.
