Government. Favre says the negotiations Tor armis-
tice interrupted hy the refusal q the termans
permit the rcvictaAlng cf Paris during the term
Of armistce. lie saws he argued with tae German
authorities in favor Of the necessity aad propriey Of
such concession. An armiRicc would be armis-
ticc az all but continued war. The proposition was
therefore reje ted. aud the negotiations were then
brought to a close because they clearly showed that
Prussia seeking 20 destroy the French army and
anxious to destroy the French people. She
would now subject the noncomhattants Of Paris to the
horrors Of famine. The seatral powers of Hurope
bad demanded that opportunity be had for the as
seabiug Of tac French deputies. in order that the
question Of peace might be considered. This demand
has been denied by Prussia. practically denied by
being cloggcd With impossible conditions.
Prussia's charge that the absence Of a French
Government obiiges her to starve Paris, Is false.
Prusslan negotiations which begun with respect to
the French people closes with refusal for an oppor
tuuty TO hear them.
Favre concludes as follows: An armistce Is the
only means whereby an expression Of the French
people the consequences OF imperial crime can
can be obtaiged. Prussia practically asks 10 lay
down our arms as preliminary to a consultation of
the national will and that the population Of PaFis-
men, women and children starve pending the vote.

BiSmarck's statrnaeat.
LONDON, November l2th.-Bismarck has issued 4
circular TO the representatives OF North Germany IN
foreign States giving his version Of the late negofie
ton for the armstice. The appointment Of such =
man as Thiers by the French to conduct the neeo-
tations-a man Of such wide experience. bad excited
hopes that the proposition mgt be snccessful King
William was even more eager FOR peace than Thlers.
Bismarck proposed truce for four weeks the re-
speetiye armies meanwhile to remain fixed. in order
that the elections might be held throughout France
The only effect the French side OF this truce /.
would be the stoppage Of the waste Of amuufifion
from their forts Teers regretted that the revictu-
aling OF Paris not provided for saving Il an
indispensable condition OF the psoposcd armistiee
This absurd demand to 20 back two months in the
prosecution ofthe warwas impossible. Snbsequent-
ly, au offer for short truce was made Thiers re-
ported this 10 the members Of the Provisional Gov
ernmeut. by whom Il was rejected. The Inference
is that the French Government dare not consult the
people and only made advances looking to peace
10 order to quiet the neutral powers
