THE WAR IN EUROPE.
EOFning and Afternoon dispatches

LONDON, Nov. 10.-AdTlces from
Paris, By balloon, to the Sth inst,
say that FaYre had issued q circular
to the Representative of France, In
foreign countries, assuring them that
the Prussians must assume the re-
sponsibility Of rejecting the PROPOSE
ton of an armistice. Prussia says
that FaVre, in rejecting the armistice,
makes war for personal aims merely,
and rot for the interests of Germany.
Nothing can apparently induce her
to relinquish the preteXt Of the French
refusal 10 cede her provinces to
Prussia. She seeks our destruction,
and will be satisfied with nothing
less.
Favre then proceeds to lay before
the French ambassadors q detailed
account of the negotiations with Bis
marek for an armistice, and shows
what he regards unreasonable de-
mands of the Prussian authorities.
He says that Prussia since the fall of
the Empire has twice refused to listen
to the overtures for peace emanatlng
from France. Now however, after
Paris has been besieged for fifty days
without showing any signs of weak
ness, Prussia seems disposed to nego-
tiate. Parisians In consequence of the
| breaking out of the rebellion within
the city have created government of
defence which the neutral powers of
Eu. aps ought to recognize as rightful.
Prussia has already recognized that
Government,
| Favre says negotiations for an armis-
tiee we're interrupted by the refusal of
the Germans to permit the revietual-
ing of Paris during the term of the
armistice. lie says he argued with
/ the German authorities in favor of the
necessity and propriety of such con-
ecssion, and said the sTmistice would
| be no armistiee, but continued pro-
| position. 1t was therefore rejected.
| Negotiations we're then brought to an
end, because they clearly showed that
Prussia was seeking to destroy the
| French army, aud was equally anxious
to destroy the French people, else she
would not subject the non-combat-
ants of Paris TO the horrors of q
fem;ne.
The neutral Powers of Europe had
demanded that an opportunity be had
for the assembling Of the French
Deputies in order that the question
of peace might be considered. This
demand has been denied by Prussia,
or practically denied, by being clogged
with impossible conditions. Prus.
sia's charge that the absence of
the French Government obliges her
to starve Paris, is false. The Prus-
sian negotiation which began with q
| ferveuk resnant fnl- tho IsTonCn people,
j closes with a refusal Of an opportu
nifty to hear them.
NJ. Favre concludes as follows: An
armistice is the only means, whereby
an expression of the French people on
| the consequences of an Imperial
lcrime can be obtained. Prussia prac-
| tically asks US the to lay down our
arms as a preliminary TO the constitu-
/ ton of the national will, and that the
population of Paris, women aud child
rem shall starVe. Pending the vote,
we call right and justice to witness
against them. Germany herself, if
consulted, will condemn them; the
government Will faithfully attempt to
render peace possible, and that she
will have the cooperation of the army
| OF Paris. Meanwhile, Paris calls to
arms, to show what a great people can
do to defend their homes, their honor,
and their. independence. You may
make these facts known as the oppor-
tunity may arise.
