The Constitvtionnel (w somi-official newspaper of this city) says in tts iesue of to-day : © We loan that tte Government would consider the Spanish enthronement of the Prince of Hohen zollern as a check and menace to France. Under these circumstances the Government has decided to energetically oppose the projec Prime Minister Ollivier gavoa grand banquet last evening. A great crowd of people were present, among whom were General Prim and Baron Worth- er, the Prussian Ambassador. Tho latter left early in the evening, which fact gave rise to much com- ment, mony asserting that France would have a just cause of war if the candidature of the Prince of Ho- henzollern were insisted upon. Late yesterday afternoon, after his interview with the Emperor, M. Ollivier saw tho Duke of Gra- mont, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Am- baseador from Spain. The result of these meetings was a firm and energetic note to Baron Werther. Immediately on its receipt the Baron departed for Ems, to meet the King of Prussia, There is considerable excitement in commerciat circles here.

The French Government would persist in its policy of neutrality; but under no pretext would it permit a German power to plnce one of its princes on the throne of Charles the Fifth, He hoped, however, that pradence in Germany and wisdom in Spain would avert extremities. ‘The Paris journals unanimously oppose the pro- Ject of Gen, Prim. A WAN FRYER RAMPANT IN FRANCH Le Pays (Imperialist) publishes a violent article, crying out for war, France, it declares, has recent diplomatic defeats as well as Waterloo to avenge; and Frenchmen are ready to take the same road to Jena and Berlin which their fathers took. ‘The French journals call attention to the fact that 4 German floet is now cruising in the Medittorra- nean, ‘The Berlin press had represented that it was simply on an excursion; but now the fact appears Fortentons to the French editors, It is reported that Admiral Topete will separate from Prim if s Hohenzollern is proclaimed ® can- didate for the throne, and that he would prefer Prince Alfonzo to a Prussian for King.

Deputy Picard demanded further tnformation for tte Chambers. It was the first duty of the Deputies not to allow France to be engaged in a war without the asteat of her repre sentatives. M. Cremionx supported the demand and added that war now meant war with Europe, He protested that he and his friends deemed peace imperative un leas their own and the dignity of France required war. M. Olivier, in reply, said that the declaration of the Duke de Grammont left no doubt that the Gov. ernment ardently desired peace, and he felt sure that ceciarsticn would secure peace, The Cham- ber must know that the Government sought to at- toin {ts object im a straightforward manner. Ir it wanted war, it would say 80, It would not engage France without consulting the Chambers. The latter should decide. If they had no confidence in the Cabinet they must throw it ide, and coufide the interests of the country to others deemed more worthy of taking eare of them, Deputy St. Hilaire asked by what right Gen. Prim offered the crown to the Prince of Hohenzollera, M. Olivier said he could not answer the question of the Deputy, as lie was not yet informed of the d tails of the negotiation, Some of the Deputies exclaimed that then the Minister of Foreign Affairs had been imprudent in making bis declaration, M. Arngo wished to speak, but the Prosident de- clared the debate closed. M. Arago replied that the G overnment must be afraid of discussion, He ac- cused it of having made Hobenazollern King, and then declaring war. ‘The President demanded order, and endeavored to bring up the budget as the question for debate, but the Depatics replied with patriotic sentiments, ‘The Chamber was too excited to discuss the dnances, und the sitting was dissolved, ‘THK CORTES TO BE CONVOKRD.
