Circular of jules Fnvre-PrussIa Resp ousIbIe
for the Failure to uBke Pence.
LONDON, Nov. 10.-Advices have been re-
ceived by balloon from Paris to the Sth instant
Jules Favre had issued a circular to the repre-.
sentatives of France in foreign countries, assur-
ing them that Prussia must assume the respon.
sibility of rejecting the proposal of armstice.
Prussia proves anew, says Favre, in rejecting
the armistice that she makes
War for Personal Aims
merely, and not for the interests of Germany.
Nothing can apparently induce her to relinqush
the pretext of the French refusal to cede her
provinces to Prussia. She seeks our destruction
and will be satisfied with nothing else.
Favre then proceeds to lay before the French
ambassadors detailed
Account Of the Negotiations
with NJ. Bismarck for an armistice, and shows
what he regards as the unreasonable demands of
the Prussan authorities. He says the Prus-
slams, since the fall of the empire, have twice
refused to listen to the overtures for peace
emanating from France. Now, however after
Paris has been besieged for fifty days without
showing any signs of weakness, Prussia seems
disposed to negotiate.
The Parisians, in consequence of the breaking
out Of a rebellion within the city, have created
government of defense which the neutral
powers of Europe ought to recognise as the
rightful government. Prussia has already re-
cognized that government. NJ. Favre says the
negotiations for an armistice were interrupted
by the refusal of the Germans to permit the
RevictuaU'na of Paris
during the term of the armistice. He says that
he argued with the German authorities in favor
of the necessity and propriety of such victual-
| ling, showing that without such q concession
| the armistice would be no armistice at all, but
| l,ay
rejected. The negotiations were then brought
to an end because they clearly showed that
| Prussia was seeking to destroy the French
! army, and was equally anxious to destroy the
| French people, else she would not subject the
nom combatants of the city of Paris to the
Horrors eff Famine.
The neutral powers of Europe had demanded
that an opportunity should be Lad 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, they being clogged with i'm
possible conditions.
Prussia's charge that the absence sof a
French Government obliges her to starve Paris
is false. The Prussian negotiations, which
began with feryent respect for the French
people, cease with a refusal of the opportunity
to hear them.
NJ Favre concludes as follows:-''An armis
tice is the only means whereby the expression
of the French people on the consequences of
The Imperial Crime
can be obtained. Prussia practically asks us
to lay down our arms as a preliminary to a
consultation of the national will, and that the
population of Paris, men, women, and children,
shall ktarve 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 in that she will have
the cooperation of the army of Paris. Mean
