The document after referring to the statement of Bismarck, terminates thu : If'F.urope remains armed, if a million men are on the eve of the shock of battle, it cannot be denied that the responsibility responsibil-ity is Prussia', as she repulsed all idea of disarmament when we cau-ed the proclamation to be made, and began by givine the example. Her conduct is explained by the fact that at the hour when France confidingly reduced her military contingent, the cabinet at Berlin was secretly arranging the candidature of a Prussian Prince for the throne of Spain. So promotive is he of mi chief, whatever the Federal Fed-eral Chancellor may invent, we fear not he has lost the right to be believed. The consience of Europe and his'ory will say Prussia sought this war by inflicting upon France, -preoccupied with the development of her political institutions, an outrage no nation could acoept without incttrring contempt. |
