The following is an official proclama-
ton to France. Before the siege OF
Paris, Jules Favre desired to see Count
Bismarck, TO know the intention of the
enemy. The following is the declara-
ton OF the enemy:
Prussia wishes to continue war, IN
older to reduce France TO a second rate
power Prussia demands Alsace and
Lorraine, as far as Metz. BY right Of
conquest, Prussia, before consentlng
to an armistice, demands the rendition
OF Strasbourg, and Toul. Paris is ex-
asperated, and will rather bury herself
beneath her ruins, than submit to such
pretensions. We can respond but by
resistance to the last. France accepts
the struggle, and counts upon her
children. Signed,
CgEMoUX, GLAIs, BERoIN, FoUcHoN.
Tours, September 23-Midnight.-
There is no news from Paris to-day.
1t appears that the scare at Orleans
was totally unfounded. There were no
Prussians there, though small body of
Chlans passed forward to Pithiviers,
twentv-three miles northeast Of Orleans.
Hundreds of people betook themselves
to flight, believing that large Prussian
force was marching upon the town. A
few Chlans were enabled to make a
large reJuisition without molestation.
Another result of the scare was the
needless cutting and destroying Of the
railway to protect Orleans, which, as it
now appears, was not menaced at all.
There is one regiment OF Turcos now
in Orleans. :,
Three delegates from Orleans arrived
here to confer with the Ministerial CON-
mittee.
The red flag,,is 'still.hying at'Lyons,
and will remain until after the elections
for the Constituent Assembly.
1t is reported that Bismarck mas issued
another circular to the North German
representatives in foreign countries, con-
cernins the war and the prospects of
peace, which is couched in much mllder
terms than have characterized his docu-
ments lately.
