The War I'm Europe.

The War I'm Europe.
The Paris Constitutional has some addi-
tional explanations of the contemplated inter-
view between Favre and Bismarck. The ef-
forts of Lord Lyons to secure such meeting
having failed, Favre made direct application
to Bismarck for consultation in order that
they might settle as to the responsibility OF
the French Government for the maintenance
of the terms of peace. The North German
Gazette, good authority, says that Germany is
not disposed to NEEDLE in the internal affairs
of France. 1t questions whether Bazaine re-
coguizss the Provisional Government OF
France. Bismarck writes that Germany will
place no obstacle 10 the way of a termination
of the war, but uiust fight until her legitimate
aspirations and integrity are guaranteed aud
her people rendered safe from unnecessary
conflict. After Paris is captured, be says,
there will be peace. The war will be pushed
to that point, aud terms will then be conclud-
ed with reliable Government 10 France
The Gar of Russia has written letter to
Queen Augusta extolling the valor Of the
Prussian troops and congratulating her upon
their victories. From Tours it is reported
that Bismarck has refused to grant an armis-
tice, and that if there is to be peace it must
be immediately. Hopes Of a termination of
hostilities are still entertained amongst the
members of the Provisional Government at
Tours. 1t is assumed that England favorably
received Theirs propositions, and is willing
to act in conjunction with Russia and Austria.
There are rumors of local uprisings in France
against the Government, especially in Nice
and Mention, formerly Italian provinces, but
the statements are contradicted from French
sources. Prussia is said to be intensely dis
gusted with the action of England. The
Prussans have regularly settled down to the
siege of Paris, and continue to push their lines
towards the western side of the city, extend
ing them until the front and rear approach in
the form Of circle. French reports say that
there was quite serious fight at Vissoux, on
the southwestern side of Paris, on Monday,
and that the Prussians were defeated. The
same despatch states that the Prussians were
also repulsed at Forts St. Valerien and Du-
mont, on the west Of the city. The Prussian
army in the south of France has marccih,ed up
the Rhine towards Strasbourg. Gen. Ulrich,

The Prussian army In the southeast Of
France has evacuated the department of the
Upper Rhine and moved north, in the direc-
ton of Strasbourg. That city still holds out
against the beseigers, but there have been sew.

the war too far, and think now is the time fol
King William to be generous. Another pro.

and sent to prison at Konigsberg.
The Italian forces entered the city Of Rome

soon as white flag was raised, which was
done by order of the Pope, to whose tender
ness, it is said, it is due that no blood was
shed. He forbade any resistance. The peo-
pie received the Italians with the greatest en-.
tbusiasm. At Florence the people were crazy
with delight, and the city was covered with
flags in honor Of the then expected news from
Rome.
