LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE latest bal
loon post from Paris brings the num-
Der Of the Figaro of the 18th inst,
containing a letter from Flourens,
filling two columns, aad giving de-
scription of the events Of the 3lst of
of October.
The arrest Of numbers of the Pro-
visional Government was not ter
minated by force, but by an agreement
concluded between Darian aud Sohae
leher on the one side. and representa-
tives of the government on the other,
and subsequently ratified by them and
Flourens. The agreement was that
the elections for the Commune should
take place on Tuesday, to render the
direction Of Darian and Schaleher,
and the elections for a new govern
ment on Wednesday. TO avoid
bloodshed and prove to our friends
that we were of one mind, we agreed
to leave the Hotel de Vile together.
On cur side the agreement was
completely fulfilled. The members
| of the Government remaining In our
custody were released. We. quilted
| the Hotel de Vile In their company.
The next morning all these sacred
pledges were violated. The Commune
elections were postponed or aband-
oned. and there will be no levy en-
neQSse. The letter concludes: Do
you wish for civil war. in order to re-
peat at Paris the disasters Of Sedan
and Metz?"
A Paris journal of the Sd publishes
a semi official statement Of the rea-
sons for Rochefort's retirement. First,
being a failure to hold communion
tons, and second, the Government
consent to the armistice negotiations.
Rochefort is equally alienated from
the Flourens party. Favre, Trochu
and FIVE other members of the Gov
eminent wrote TO Rochefort asking
him to return. but he refused. He
| intends TO begin the publication of a
new paper.

sentative, Theirs, its ability to accept
the German offer of an ar
mistioe On the basis of stdtU quo,
the Count proposed that the French
name time for holding the election
| for the Constituent Assembly. The
Germans promised that In such an
event, absolute freedom Of elections
| should be respected, even in the ter
ritory now occupied by the Prussians.
| Theirs thereupon withdrew to an out
post to consult with Favre, bat at
length returned to Versailles, with
out power to accept the German
terms.
King William has issued an order
that no person will hereafter be al

Five passengers have just been
captured and will be court mar
tailed for violating the order.
LONDON, Nov. 8.-Metz has been
made the Capital of the German
Lothrip gen.
The Lorraine Times has reason to
believe the bombardment of Paris
