suit of the election in Paris on the question 81

to insure the certainty OF an armistice.
Theirs had 4 long conversation with Count
bismarck on the 81 and 4;h inst. The follow
ing is the result OF the interviews. l hiers at
the first interview Shove ed Bismarck his au-
thorization from the Paris govt to arrange an
armistice on the basis proposed ly Granville.
Bismarck replied that it was ali very weIl a.
tar as ii went, bat the authorization from the
Tours govt was also necessary. Theirs re-
piled that Gambetta and his colleagues would
/ not dleaNow tine agreement made tiy the Paris
govt and supported by IfoChu and thc amy
OF Paris. He undertook at once TO conmunl-
cate with Tours and obtain formal authoriz-
alton in addition to the informal powers al
ready received. Bismarck insisted on the
/ necessity of consoking the Assembly to speak
with authority in the name OF the country.
He said he was willing to suspend hosliliti,s
for this purpose. but until all had been ar
ranged the siege operations would have full
course.
At the second interview Bismarck waived
the point OF the Tours gov,ts authorization,
and dismissed the conditions of an armislicc.
He proposed thar Paris should receive daily
one days rations on the present scale of ra
lions, and that the bellgercnts should proceed
with their material preparations. The Ger
mans were to continue to oUCuTy all the tor
ritory now held by them. to cease making
forced acquisitions and were to be allowed to
bring forward al their forces ard war mater

Lorraine be permitted to send deputies to the
Assembly," Bismarck replied in the mega
tive but at lorgth iutimatpd thai he might con-
Int.
What happened at the fnal interview is not
known, but 1t is reported that lhiers and Bis
marck have signed an agreement which was
sent TO Paris to receive the satisfactory APP
prevail of the government.
In the various engagements which have
taken place from Oct 20 down to the present
time, the French troops have displayed in
creasing valor and good discipline. The
Prussian losses from that date amount to 2sl9
men, killed, wounded and prisoners.
There is an increasing bitterness here at the
slight of Bismarck as shown in his firm Ian
guage to the English, as contrasted with his
courtesy to Americans and Prussians.
