MR. WALLETS MISSION TO BISMARCK.
Mr.. Maez'ond, Secretary of the British EN-
| bassy, who finally succeeded in getting to the
| Pru sian headquarters, returned on Friday
| bringing an answer from Bismarck to Lord
! Lyons. Before this mission Lord Lyons asked
| M. Favre whether if England requested an
armstce the French government would well
/
known to Earl Granville Lord Lyons was po-
litely rebuked for his pains. Bent on improv-
] ing the situation Lord Lyons then sent Mr..
| Mallet on an informal mission to Bismarck,
and notifying Granville alter Mr.. Mallet had
| gone, Granville forthwith directed Lord Lyons
to summon Mr.. Maet back. Lyons obeyed,
| but his messenger took the wrong road, and
| Mr.. Mallet, after several failures in making his
way through the crowd Of Uhlans, reached the
Kings headquarters. Out of all this success
| sion OF cross purposes grew considerable cool
| ness between Lyons and Granville. Mallet
| talked with Bismarck plain and to the point.
| He asked for the
ULTIIATUM.
"We must have Mez and Strasbourg" said
Bismarck. "Dismantled?" asked Mallet "No,"
| replied Bismarck; stronger than ever" ''Then
suppose the French find your terms impossi-
ple?' Then we shall invest and starve Paris,
and if that does not succeed, we shall try sharp
er means" "Would you lombard the city,"
| Certainly; and burn it il forced by necessity.
1t is sad, but how are we to escape it?"
Bismark's talk about Gladstone and Gran
vile and their timid message carrying, was re-
we're of respectful. and he did not hesitate TO
let it be seen that he cared nothing for the eff.
forts of outsiders, and resolved to settle all
questions with France alone. For Lord Lyons
himself, Bismark professed respect and good
will, and cordially advised him to get out of
| Paris while he could. He had notified Earl
Granville that if the siege was once begun, they
| would allow no communication between for
| eign governments and their embassies inside
| the city. written answer was sent by Bis
marck to Lord Lyons, confdenti-lly land has not
yet been disclosed, but Lord Lyons intimates
that he thinks Bismarck means to have Paris in
his hands before concluding peace, as the
most effectual means of enforcing his demands.
GEN. TRocHU's VIEW OF WHAT WILL FOLLOW
THE CAPTURE OF PARIS.
Nor is the French government at heart con-
| fident of making successful defence. Gen.
| Trochu told Lord Lyons he would do his best
but added, there will be a massacre and that
will he followed by anarchy The Ministers
still utter brave words.
