SUN OFFICE, 8 A.M.

PROLONGATION OF THE
ARMISTICE.
BERLIN, February 14.
The French elections have seemingly resulted in a
pacific Chamber, Count Bismarck has conceded on
principle the prolongation of the armistice by a week,
and made the definitive agreement dependent upon
certain military conditions.

We confidently expect the constitution of the new and
legitimate powers:
M. Favre then announced that he and his col-
leagues would remain at their posts to maintain
respect for the laws until the establishment of the
new Government. He asked permission to return
to his post, in order to fulfil the difficult and delicate
duties imposed upon him, and said :
"I confidently await your judgment. I hope that I
shall be able to confirm to those with whom we have to
negotiate, that the country can do its uty. (Loud cheers.)
The enemy must know that we have the honour of France
at heart. He will also know that all France will
decide. , In conformity with the eventuality already
foreseen by the Convention, a prolongation of the-
armistice will probably become necessary. La us
render this prolongation as short as possible in order
not to lose a moment, and let us but think of the suffer-
ings of the population of the invaded districts. I hope
that I may depend on your concurrence to obtain this
needful delay."
These words of M. Favre were loudly cheered.
The Chamber then adopted the motion of M.
Cochery for the provisional application of the stand-
ing orders of 1848 and 1851.
General Garabaldi, on leaving the National
Assembly entered a carriage with MM. Esquiros and
Bordone, and two other officers. They were much
cheered by the people. In reply to the cheers General
Garibaldi rose up in the carriage and said I
have always known how to distinguish the France
of the priests from Republican France, which I am
come to defend with the devotion of a son. Long

live Republican France !" The crowd replied with
shouts of ' Vive Garibaldi !" Vivo la Republique.'
M. Bordone also said a few words. General Gari-
baldi then returned to his hotel followed by an im-
mense crowd.

M. Favre leaves this evening for Versailles.

says :—" We learn that of the 750 deputies elected,
fully two-thirds are in favour of a Monarchy, while
scarcely one-fifth are Republicans. The Imperialists
have suffered a severe defeat, and the decision as
to the future Government of France seems to lie
between the partizans of the Bourbons and the
Orleans family."
