.oit9ell ill WASHINGTON, 0ctober'30.
The following memorial in regard t
tho fatal consequences TO which the pop
ulation Of Paris arc exposed by pro
Iongcd resistance has been sent BY
Count Bismarck. o,the, Ambassador d
North Germany;It ,.f g!,..fatI
"The conditions Of an armIstice Offered
to NJ. Jules Fuvre; intended Us basts for
the re-establishment Of order in France,
have been rejected by him and his col
leagues. They therefore desire the con,
tinIanco of q struggle, which, according
10 tie course of late events, appears With
out any chance Of success for the French
people! Since, then tho prospects OF
Francel in this war, so full Of Sacrifices
have still further declined, Toul and Stras;
burg having fallen, Paris Is closely sur.
rounded, and German troops are adVar.
cling by the Loire. The large forces
heretofore engaged at'the above iortresses
arc now at the free disposal Of the German
commanders. Tic country has to bear
the consequences Of a war, q routrallce
dccrecd by the French authorities in Paris.
Its sacrifices will Ge IN rlnnccc ccssary meas
ure and It's special condition suffer more
dangerous decomposition. The com!
mander Of the German army does not find
himself in q situation to counteract this,
but pcrceives clearly the consequences Of
the resistance chosen by the Power it
Paris, and feels compelled to call general
attention to one point, namely: Tic special
condition Of Paris. The heaviest attacks
heretofore made from this Capital
was on the 10th and 30th Of last
month, in which the elite of the armies
enlisted in that city have not been able to
throw back tho first line Of tho bcsicgng
forces, lead to the conviction that the cap!
ital will fall sooner or later. IT, the time
Of surrender Is postponed until want Of
provisions nccessitates a capiIulatiUn, the
most terrible results must follow. The
destruction Of railways, bridges md
canals around Paris by the French has not
been able to stop for q momcnt the nd:
vance Of the German armies. All comnui
nlcations needed for military operations
have been re.estNblishcd. In a very
short time these repairs will natur-
ally be regarded as military interests
exclusively, while TUG other destruction,
even after q cHpitulatiol, will prevent,
for long time, the communication Of the
Capital with the provinces. 1t will bean
absolute impossibility for tho German
commanders, when that case occurs, to
provide one single day'srations lorapopl-
latiOn ornearly two millions, The ,envl.
rons Of Parts; to the distance of several
DAYS Journey, since 1.-the stores there are
naturally required for tho use Of tic Ger
man troops, will then offer no resurce, and
will not tipertnit tho inhabitants to cvacu-
ate by the yroads into the country The
inevitable result would be the starvation
ofhundreds Of thousands. The persons in
power In France cannot fail to discern
tue consequences as tho German com
mandars, and since TO the latter moth.
ing Is LEFT but to carry on the war proifer-
cd. The rulers Of France are responsible
for forcing such extremes"
