It is stated to-day that the Prussian government has addressed a final remonstrance re-monstrance to England on the subject of her refusal to prohibit the exportation exporta-tion of arms for the supply of Prance. A letter from N;rpoIeon, on the 2uth of September, to King William, says: The time has arrived for him to speak. The duel between France and Germany can only terminate in the complete ruin of loyal, rcconeilliation of both powers'. It is to be supposed that Germany Ger-many believes herself to have a greater interest iu the ruiu of Franco than in an alliance with France. If this be the belief of Germany, will Europe or can Europe remain an unconcerned spectator specta-tor of an invasion without limits? The Emperor adds, that his interview with the King of Prussia at Sedan convinced him that the King would prefer the alliance of France to her ruin. Surely it only remains to indicate the means of accomplishing this object. It will be in vain to attempt to make those chords of tire which do not vibrato in French bosoms: but it is tiir from being impossible that France should welcome an alliance between the two Empires which have so-many interesis in common com-mon and so few really in antagonism; or even ihat she should acquiesce ii:a line of defense for Germany, commanded com-manded by the necessary, fortresses andba-ed ou the disarmament of all forts needed solely or chiefly for purposes pur-poses of attack, and on the payment of an indemnity by France, which statesmanship aud jusiice should fix. I'his would be the most lasting guarantee guaran-tee of the peace of Europe: but these considerations will lose their weight if the King of Prussia should refuse to entertain thein before assaulting the city of Paris.
