people wish to renounce their former al

notified accordingly.
The reorganization of Germany was
also considered. The details have been

given all the States north and south of
the Maine alike, with ample guarantees
for healthy political and economical de-

Bavaria and Baden distinctly decline

Mr.. Molet, second secretary of the Brit
ish Embassy, who finally succeeded in
getting to the Prussian headquarters, re-
turned on Friday, bringing an answer
from Bismarck to Lord Lyons. Before
this mission Lyons had asked Favre
whether, il England requested an armis-
tice, the French government would well
come her Intervention. When this be-
came known to Lord Granville, LYONS
was politely rebuked for his pains.
Bent on improving the situation, Lyons
then sent Molet an Informal mission to
Bismarck, notifying Granville. After
Molet had gone, Granville forthwith di-
rected Lyons to summon Molet back. Ly-
ons obeyed his messenger took the wrcrg
road, and Molet, after several failures.
making his way through the crowd CT
Uhlans, reached the Kings Headquarters,
Out of all this succession of cross pur-
poses grew considerable coolness between
Lyons and Granville.
Molet's talk with Bismark was plain
and to the point. He asked for an uIti-
matum.
We must have Metz and Strssbourg,
said Bismarck.
Dismantled? asked Molet.
No, replied Bismarck, stronger than
ever.
Then suppose the French government
hnds your terms impossible?
We shall invest and stsrve Paris, and
If that does not succeed, we shall try

would you ombard the city?
Certainly, and burn it if forced. The
necessity is sad, but how are we to
escape it?
Bismarck's talk about Gladstone ard

be did not hesitate to let il be known that
he cared nothing for the efforts of out
siders, and was resolved to settle all cues
tions with France alone. For Lyons
himself. Bismarck expressed respect and
good will, and cordially advised him to
get out of Paris while he could. He had
notified Lord Granville that when the
siege was once begun he would allow no
communication between foreign Govern
ments and their ambas sadors in the city.
The written snswer by Bismarck to
Lyons was confidential, and has not been
disclosed, but Lyons iutimates that he
thinks Bismark has the means to Paris
in his hands before concluding peace as
the most effectual means of enforcing his
demands. Nor is the French Govern
ment, at heart, confident of making q
successful defense. Trochu, to-day, told
Lyons that he would do his best, but ad-
ded that there will be a massacre, and
that it will be followed by anarchy. The
ministers still utter brave words.
Russia's attitude is still one of reserve.
