VIEW WITH JULES FAvRE.
BERLIN, Oct. 4.-The folio wing is a more OK.
tended synopsis of the circular recently issued
Dy Bismark to the representatives of otbe,
countries in Berlin, mention of which has
already been made
In MS circular, Bismarck admits that M. Fa
Vres representation of what passed at. the in.
terVlew smay not have been Intentionally
wrong, because the conversation was long and
many propositions were,proposed or discussed.
Bismarck did say the new Mosele district
would certainly be protected, and including
inc ACCOMPLISHMENTS of Saarbrucken, Chateau,
oains' Saargenund, Metz and Thionville
would be demanded by Prussia; but he took
pains to say this might not be all the territory
e4acted. M. Favre said Strasbourg was the

correspondence had said he was willing to nav
as price for peace all the money France had.
out refused to listen to any territorial surren-
der. He added that if such cession was ;ndis.
pensable to the requirement of Prussia neo,.
tiatlon was useless as it involved Fl ance in dis
honor.
bismarck reminded him that they were
terms such as France had forced on Italy and
exacted from Germany even withc ut preyious
war, and the honor of France was not keener
than that of other peoples. Favre declined
to recognize the precededents or to see how
little the honor Of.France was concerned with
presidents of territorial thefts of Louis XIV.
or OF the republic or the first empire. The
question of an armistce was only discussed at
EQ-riarQS Tho
1 had refused an armistice at the pre-
cedlng interviews is false. 1t was agreed
at Ferrieres that an armistce would
be possible if Favre would give the
Prussians guarantee against delay and
against destroying the advantages of the posi-
ton they had gained during the war. These
guarantees to include the retention of the
fortresses on the lines of communication and
handing over of the Notifications of Paris
pending the lions, or else command
ing post near the city. 1t would have been
impossible for Prussia to allow Paris free inter.
conrse with the country as the city might thus
have received supplies and reinforcements. M.
Favre refused these terms. He promised to
consult his colleagues in the government at
Paris. The programme which he carried back
and submitted included an armistice of Is or
20 days to permit meeting of the Constituent
Assembly, the maintenance of the military
status before Paris, continuance of hostilities
under certain limitations and the surrender of
Strasbourg, Toul and Bitche. The refusal of
these terms must convince mankind that the
French government believed their acceptance
wnnld rrnduce peace but which was not desir- !

PARIS TO BECOME AN EASY VICTORY.
y Especial to N. Y. Times. ]-Our military cor
respondent, writing from Paris, says:-Judg- |
ng from present indications am inclined to
link that the Prusslans will walk into Paris
1t their first serious attack. None of the works
ire constructed so that stone can stand
against Krupp's cannon at the range at which |
he besiegers, owing to recent advances, can
place them.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF ROME.
Our correspondent, writing from Rome,
10Th ut., says it is reported that there is d.
,ision in the Cabinet. Victor Emmanuel is
about to transfer the seat of government to
Rome, some being in favor of going at once,
while others are in favor of waiting and taking
/ long breath after the great surprise of good
ortune. IT is probable the former will pre-
rail. 1t is probable that Gen. Lamarlore will
,e appointed temporary Governor of the Ro-
nan territory. His commission will include
he power of making definite settlement with
he Pope. It is thought Antonelli will en-
deavor to smooth away the difficulties, as he
will prefer luxurious life at the Vatican to
country will sanction no terms of settlement
hat do not involve the deathand burial of the
power. Priests and seminarians are
again showing themselves in the streets. The
Pope has only once left the Vatican. and then

THE VOTE.
ROME, Oct. 4.-[Special to n. Y. Herald. I |
The vote for the plebiscite has not created sur
Prise, IS Prince Barghez, leader of the con-
,ervatives and many prominent priests were |
previously earnest adherents of Italian supre-
macy. The knotty point is
WHAT Is TO BE DONE WITH THE POPE.
Lorile city is now agitated. The castle of |
St. Angelo, comprised in the district, is filled |
with Italian troops, SO that in few days Pho |
Mono will no doubt be seen driving about as |
usual with only detachment of Italian lancers |
as an escort instead of Papal dragons. There |
is no fear of His Holiness undertaking flight |
TO foreign country. The Pope is getting i'm |
patient at his confinement in the Vatican dur |
ing the fine weather. The respectful and de- |
vout appearance of the Italian soldiers encour- |
age him in the idea of emerging to get clear
view of the invaders.
