THE HOPE OF PEACE DESTROYED.
Information received here destroys all hope
OF peace. Jules Favre expressed his willing.
| ness to accede to plan to satisfy Prussia for
electing a repre- sen alive assembly and thus
obtain voice of duly accredited government
in making terms of peace, but the King of
Prussas counsellors positively refused an ar
mistice and will make peace only only on con-
dition of retaining possession Of the districts
| now occupied until terms can ratified by the
Constituent Assembly although the question OF
terms has not yet been reached. Favre in
forms his associates in the government tha'
the cession of Alsace will certainly will be the
utimatum of Prussia and be has little hope of

LETTER FROM GARIBALDI
LYONS, Sept. % The special correspondent
| Of the Tribune at Florence writes on the 18Th
that Garibaldi writes that he has received no
answer from the French government, and that
the rubbish or scum which calls its elf the Ital-
| ian government keeps me prisoner He has
| neither been allowed to leave Caprera nor re-
| ceive any message. The Italian government
upon being questioned, answered that owing
to their neutrality they have refused consent
to Garibaldi's departure. When Favre offered
a Freach frigate the Italian government re-
piled that they should deem such an act as d.
rect hostility.

GLOON IN PARIS.
LONDON. Sept. %. "A Paris letter of the 10Th
inst. says: notwithstanding the long antici-
patton OF an investm ent and an actual isola-
ton of the capital, now that it really comes
it falls like an unexpected blow and leaves
people stunned and stupefed. However. the
hope that Favre will succeed in winning terms
of peace from Bismarck ANNA es many with
a single ray of consolation amid the genera
gloom but those well informed have little ex-
pectaton of settlement till Paris has expert
enced further horrors. Unbappily the German
statement that the provisional government
cannot speak authoritatively receives conirma-
ton from the action of extreme Republicans,
even in this hour of trial, when unity is indis-
pensabe. Saturday and sunday it was dis
graceful. There were demonstrations in sew
eral portions of the city in consequence of the
announcement of the demands of the Reds for
the creation of committee of defence in diff
ferent ACCOMPLISHMENTS, chosen Nv the people
and for a general collection and distribution Of
food and ammunition. Noisy and dangerous
crowds assembled in different quarters, utter
ing revolving cries. A large number of roughs
were armed, and in some cases violence was
committed. To one instance storehouse was
broken open and quantity of provisions seized
under the preface of authority from the COM
mittee of defence.
Sunday night much terror prevailed among
the better class of the populace. Monday
force of National Guards and some regulars
and marines from the fort marched into the
city to preserve order. There is but little
doubt an attempt will be made before long by
he extreme parry to seize aud control the
government. 1t is difficult to say where the
en- will be, not trusting wholly to peace ne
go:iatons.
Yesterday Gen. Winery with force of 25,
900 left Paris TO intercept the onward march OF
tn. Prussians. Tbs object was to cause as
much loss and delay as possible to the enemy
for leaving the city were marked by a rush of
hundreds whose courage gave way at the last
moment Hundreds OF applications were made
to Minister Washburne for passports by
Frenchmen whe were never outside of France
and who pretend to be naturaIized Americans,
but were unable to produce their papers.
Beyond doubt Paris is provisoned for four
aanths An appeal has been issued by the
authorities, begging the citizens to exercise the
greatest care and fruga!ty in the use OF pro-
visions from the present moment Trochu is
| working indetatigabily, but yesterday was
confined from indisposition. Heaven knows
when an opportunity will offer to communicate
again. For the past few nights the city has
| been in almost total darkness and citizens are
adopting measures to light street lamps.
