An Armistice.
PARIS. Sept. &c P. M.-An armistice is IN
der consideration. The idea was instituted by
the Diplomatic corps. The question has been
submitted to the Provisional Government by the
Russian, Italian and Spanish Ambassadors.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-Diplomatic notes of a most
decided character have been forwarded to Berlin
from the Cabinets of both the English and Rus
sian Governments, suggesting to Prussia certain
terms of peace as likely to be accepted both by
/ Franco and Prussia. The notes point out with
much clearness the present moment as most OPP
perfume for the consideration of peace proposals,
inasmuch as all further cause of irritation will
be avoided, should those proposals receive the
necessary consideration before the bombardment
of Paris, in accordance with the course taken by
England and Russia.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-All accounts agree in stating

Austrian Mediation.
NEW York, Sept. ga Tribune special from
London says: "a private correspondent tele-
graphs as follows from Paris on Friday morning :
: L understand from a French source, on which [
can place implicit reliance, that as England has
thus far declined to take any steps to induce
Prussia to consent to an armistice as preliminary
TO a treaty of peace involving no territorial
sacrifices, as delay under the circumstance must
result in further blOodshed, the Austrian Govern
ment has taken the task.

Position of France.

alton. Prussia will naturally exact double
guarantees. To appreciate the language of NJ.
Favre, he asserts that the cause of France against
Prussia is that of right and justice, when only
in July his language was precisely the reverse.
Russia's Position.
PARIS, Sept. ga special dispatch to the
Herald says Further particulars received this
morning concerning Jules Favre's declaration,
enable me to say that the account of it sent yes
terday was entirely accurate. All the circum-
stances | am not at liberty to state, but it is
probable that Favre's hopes of Immediate alliance
with Russia were a little too sanguine, and that
negotiations thus far have necessarily been in
formal. In answer to the urgency of the French
Minister, Russia intimates that she cannot i'm
mediately accept such an alliance, nor take a
positive step against Prussia, unless in con-
junction with Austria or some other power
EngIand's Refusal to Interfere.
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-England's refusal to in
terere is partly traceable to the personal in
fuence of the Queen, to whom Gladstone comedies
much, and TO Granville's aristocratic aversion to
a Republic, and partly to intimations from Prus-
STA that no neutral interference would now be IN
auential. Prussia has been put ON the British
Government from Paris, but without result.
English residents denounce in bitter terms what
they style the pusillanimity of the English
Cabinet.

The London Morning Post counsels the Prus-

A Newspaper Office Destroyed.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-The people to-day attacked
the Office of the MdrseiHdiSe, on account of
Clusert's article in yesterdays issue, broke the
forms and burned all the papers they could find.

how great is his influence with the people, who

for the maintenance of public order.

ment Official of the Province had assembled.
The Emperor, on alighting, passed to Plonski's
carriage, and saluted the officers of the corps,
who drew up with presented arms. He looks
serious, not crushed; there were no signs of
disease or unhealthy tenbonpoint. He wore the
undress uniform of a General, with a riding-cape
of the Garibaldian fashion. The crowd was
! silent. respectful and sympathetic.'
