ers to negotiate, and desire passports 70
enable them to proceed to the he2d.quaI.
tiers of the allied soYerel-as, to demand
an armistice.
Prince Butcher Of course refused to en-.
ter into any negotiation for an armistice
with Deputies appointed by govern.
lnent which the allies will rot acknOw'

must be removed, but the government he
established. France must not now think
Of treating upon equal terms with the al.

inveigh against this as interfering in the
