M owe, therefore, on the 10th of september,
he demanded of Couut Won BISMARCK, a
cateRorical reply as to whether he would
enter upon negotiations. Bismarck y nrSt
answer was unfavorable, though he SUBJ
sequently asked what guarantees france
could offer. The Foreign Minister, VINO
WAS acting as an intermediary, ADVISED
Favre TO see Bismarck and make his de-
mands in person. Accordingly! FaEte ,,s
saw Bismarck, and expressed to MIN MS
love of France and liberty, aud his deter
mtnatton TO accept no conditions whlcn
would render peace only q menaclng
Bismarck replied, II he thought peace
were possible, he would sign Immediately ;
but actual government was too precar1-
ons and likely to be overthrown. France
would not be any more apt To forget sedan
tnan she had been to forget waterloo and
SadoWa. she would soon attack Germany
again. Being presse for conditions, Favre
was explicit, but Bismarck asserted The
security of his country, and demanded the
retention of part of the territory Germany
now occupied, and mentioned In that con-
nection the Departments Of the upper
Rhine, Lower Rhine and Moselle, with
Metz Chateau Selmis and Soissons. To
the objection OF Favre that the people OF
France would not agree To that, and that
he could not act without their sanction.
Bismarck replied that he felt confident OF
/ that before; but as another war was GER
tain, he wished TO make tt with all advan-
Eavre then fntimated that Europe might
a the pretentlOns of Prussia eXhOrDi-
mt. He was certain France would never
. s.scept them. She might perish as ma
/ tion, but sheewould not be dlshonOred.
/ The country alone could decide upon the
i question OF territorial cession, and Fayre
/ could not doubt what that decision
Bismarck would not listen to any propo-
| sitiOn for an armiStice.
| The second interview occurred at Fer
| riers, on the 18th. On this occasion Bis
i mar x seemed TO accept the Idea OF an ar
/ mf-l ee. Favre asked for fifteen days.
| The next day Bismarck handed Favrt
his conditions, adding: 1.-THE Germani
must have the forts commanding Paris
and more especially Fort Mont va
| Ierlen. on the western border" Favre re
piled: 1T would be more simple 10 de
| nand Paris at once" Bismarck said: 81
| these terms are not satisfactory, tn
| French must seek other arrangements
| Favre proposed a meeting of the Constltu
uent Assembly at Tours. Bismarck mad
the condition that the garrison OF otEas

war. Upon Favre Indignantly refusing
Bismarck consulted the King, who In
sisted upon tine surrender of Strashourg

tired, expressing the conviction tina
| France would fight to the last.
Favre concludes from the manner 4
which ALI his efforts for peace have bee
met by the Germans, that they are deter
mined upon conquest. He says the lntel
views were not altogether useless, as the
have proved, that Notwithstanding Prui
