LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.

LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
BERLIN, September 2O.-The North Ger
man Gazette says: f" Bismarck consents
to see Favre, promising, however, that
Germany is not disposed to intermeddle
in the internal affairs of France. The
German States are ready to recognize the
republic when they are sure that the
French people prefer that form of govern
ment, but to protect military operations
it is necessary to recognize the territory
actually occupied by the authorities left
by the empire. Moreover, it is still un-
known whether Bazaine recognizes the
republic and the government at Paris !;
indeed, it is reported that he expressly
disavows both"
NAVIGATION OF THE BALTIC.
BERLIN, September 2O.-The North
German Government has officially noti-
fed the great powers that though the
blockade has been raised, navigation of
Baltic and North seas and the approaches
to German ports is dangerous, on account
of the removal of lights and buoys.
The merchants of DantZig protest
against the French blockade of that port,
no men-of-war being near there to enforce
it.
ROYAL CoMPLIMENTs-RUMoR OF THE
KINGS INTENTIONS ABOUT PEACE NEGo-
TIATToNs.
oEhLlN, SoDbeLlD6T ~ NluSbu Au-
gusta, yesterday received a letter writ
ten by the Emperor of Russia, warmly
cOngratulating her majesty upon the
great victories of the armies of Germany,
the Emperor's excellent ability, and the
wohdrous soldierly qualities displayed
by the Crown Prince and other members
Of the royal family.
The Crown Princess with the Queen, de-
votes all her time to measures for the care
of the wounded. Apartments are assigned
in the palace to women employed in the
preparation of bandages, making lint and
other articles for use in the hospitals.
There is no foundation whatever for
the statement of newspaper correspond
ents that the King of Prussia intends to
treat for terms of peace only with Napo-
leon. It is, however, determined in the
policy that the German troops will occupy
the points already gained until such time
as terms of peace, if settled upon, shall
be ratified by the chambers regularly
elected.
Letters from Cassel state that ex-Em-
peror Napoleon has formally revoked the
decree by which the Empress assumed
the regency in Paris.
LETTER FROM BISMARCK.
BERLIN, September 2O.-A letter from
Bismarck of the l1th instant says: The
next phase of this wonderful war will be
occupation of Paris, and all hope of sue
cessful resistance being then over,
after that there must be peace. This gov
ernment of France, or those in power,
whoever they may be, cannot desire
further slaughter, when all that can be re
quired Ct them is to give certain abso-
lutte guarantee that the peace of Europe
will not again be disturbed by ambitious
aspirations or desires of their people; and
that the miseries which they themselves
have brought upon the two nations may
never again be repeated. l see L am
paraded in the columns of the general
ournals as having stated what these
guarantees must be, and must not be. OF
course these statements are mainly
r1mances. When approached by gentle-
men of the press, I generally give them
civil answers. Their Imagination does
the rest. You know what guarantees are
necessary to secure lasting peace. 1t is
rather military, rather a political ques-
ton, that no Overtures of peace can be
well received until the army is before
Paris; but the safety of Germany,
and the peace of the world Sc
curd, Germany will not oppose the
termination of the war, from which she
will never retire until the legitimate
aspirations of her children are Sc
cured, and Germany safe from further
cruel and unnecessary slaughter"
