M. GAMBETTA AND THE
ARMISTICE.
A. despatch of M. Gambetta to M. Jules Favre,
dated 31st ult., says :—" The unaccountable adjourn-
ment of which your message did not make any
mention of the application of the Armistice as re-
gards Belfort and the departments of the Cote
d'Or, Doubs, and Jura, causes the greatest
inconvenience in the East. The Prussian Generals
continue their operations, without paying any atten-
tion to the armistice, while the Minister of 'War,
placing full reliance in the terms of your message,
has ordered all the commanders of the French corps
to carry out the armistice and stop all their move-
ments, which was strictly obeyed during 48 hours.
Cause the armistice at once to be applied to the
East, and bring about, as it is your duty, that final
understanding of which mention is made in the
Convention of the 28th January. In the meantime
We shah authorise the Generals at once to conclude
a suspension of hostilities, to last until you have
communicated to us the line of demarcation which
may have been agreed upon, or at least proposed by
you. 1 request you to send me a speedy reply."
The Gazette Francais° says :—" Gambetta is right
and Jules Favre is wrong. It is, Indeed, unheard
of that Favre, who has been shut up in Paris
for four months and a half, and who consequently
must have been unaware of the position of our
armies, has thought fit to make any arrangements.
Ile ought to have summoned one member of the
Delegation."

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
• Crdmieux, the Minister of Justice, sent, on
Tuesday, the following despatch to the Prefects:—
" A decree is issued abrogating the electoral incom-
Patibilities resulting from Article 82 up to Article
89, inclusively, of the Law of 1849•"
The National Assembly will meet in the Grand
Theatre at Bordeaux, where preparations are already

ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF LYONS.
LYONS, January 30.
The following is the text of an address issued by'
the Municipal Council of Lyons :
" Inasmuch as peace would be for the Republic
an act of suicide, and a disgrace so long as the enemy
tramples upon the soil of our oountry, and as war
to the uttermost is the only means of safety, the
commune of Lyons is determined to take every
measure required by the common danger, and
urges the Government to prosecute the national
defence with renewed zeal and energy.
" The commune would cease to support the Go-
vernment t :e day that it consented to the dismem-
berment GI France. Convinced that the march of
event; renders Lyons the true centre of resistance,
tha commune urges the delegation to establish
ft,elt in L 3 ons, in order to watch more efficiently
over the supreme effort which is to save the
et un try."
