others.

An Armistice is agreed upon to extend at once to
the whole of France.

The terms of Capitulation are to be arranged.
There is great agitation in the city.
We heard here last night sounds of drums and
shouts of multitudes.

LE VERT GALANT, January 27.
No fighting on either side to-day.
It is rumoured that there is an Armistice, or that
one is about to be agreed on.

French troops by hundreds are presenting
themselves at the Saxon outposts, and offering to
desert.

The French soldiers who have come to the Saxon
outposts in such numbers to-day say they have done
so not as deserters, but because there is an krmistice.

- VERSAILLES, January 24 (Vid Saarbruck).
M. Jules Favre arrived at Versailles at 5 p.m. on
the 23rd inst. in Count Bismarck's carriage, which
had been sent to the outposts to meet him. M.
Jules Favre appeared greatly aged since his visit to
Perrieres. He drove to the office of the German
Chancellor, where he had a long conversation with
Count Bismarck, with whom he afterwards took
dinner. M. Jules Favre put up in the Rue Boule-
vard du Roi. Count Bismarck, at 11 o'clock the
same night, conferred with the Emperor of Ger-
many.

Mr. Odo Russell was apprised beforehand of M.
Jules Favre's coming.

VERSAILLES, January 27.
The negotiations in reference to the capitulation
of Paris are so iar advanced that the terms are ex-
pected to be concluded to-day.
BERLIN, January 27.
Count Bismarck is desirous of treating for peace
on the basis of the cession of Alsace and a part of
Lorraine. If M. Jules Favre accepts these pro-
posals made to him by Count Bismarck, Germany
Will recognise the French Republic. It is certain
that these proposals would be accepted by the Im-
perialists.

GENERAL CHANZY REINFORCED.

BORDEAUX, January 26.

The Moniteur of to.day publishes a letter from
Colmar, which states that the Prussians have sent
away from Alsace all officials who were not natives
of the Province. They have vainly attempted to
persuade the Alsatian officials to retain their offices
under the Prussian regime. The sale of tricolor
rlbands to be worn as ornaments by ladies is for-
bidden.
General Cambriels has been appointed to the com-
mand of the 19th Army Corps. He left Toulouse
for his post, but was obliged to return in conse-
quence of the wound in his head received at Sedan
reopening.
General Chanzy has received large reinforcements
from all sides. His dispositions are excellent.
