LONDON, Sept IS, 1870.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE
nt Rheims. whose conversation with Bismarck,
was telegraphed to THE TRIBUNE fortnight
ago. had another conversation with Bismarck
on the 10th inst, as follows.
TIE Count said positively: The Prussian
Government will not treat with any Govern
ment not recognized as de jare, and the only
such Government in France known to Prussia
j. the Government of Napoleon, or that of the
Regency acting in his absence. I'VE DO not
knew ne added, whether the whole of France
viii recognize the Republic. How can we
tIeat on so serious matter with Provisional
Government which may he disavOwed tO-mOr-
ROVE
Z asked whether any English diplomatist
had arrived at headquarters to try interven-
tion. i have seen no English dpomatist
here was his answer.
He commented sharply on the French
boachcry at LaOn, saying The place had
oamtulated. The PrUssians entered without
opposition. Then a French aTtilleryman blew
up the magazine, killing himself, 4j PTussian
Jaeers, and more than 300 Gardes Mobiles
Shortly afterward / met Count Won Ken
dell. Bismarck's Counselor. He expressed
great anxiety concerning the attitude of the
United States now that the French Republic
y proclaimed, saying:
1--WE are anxious to have American sym
pathy on our side, but we cannot treat with
such a Republic as this
1t is reported that Favre is expected at
Headquarters to negotiate personally for peace
Nothing is officially known III London of the
reported armistice. The rUmOr is absolutely
vi,hout foundation. An interview between
Bismarck and Favre will probably take place,
Bismarck having declared his readiness to
receive FavIe; but the dispatch that mentions
this says also that, while he has no objection
"a a conversation with the titular French
Minister. the latter must he prepared 10 accept
Cemany's terms. or the interview will be use
less. Germany does not consider herself IN
condition to be called upon by neutIais or ap-
realed 10 hy the French to renOunce the mate
rial guarantees essential to her future security,
and sufficient 10 protect her against even a
distant renewal of such an attempt on the part
of the French as ha, Just failed.
Considering also that much may he lost by
temporary suspension of arms, Bismarck
saws that he viii negotiate for peace, but not
for an almi,tcc. lie adds, privately, that he
is well aware 10 what degree Of mpopulHlty
French Minister asserting 10 unnecessary
terms Of peace must expose himself; but that
j. not the fault OF the Germans. II Favre
e1pects his mission 10 be fruitful, he must I've
prepared to sacrifice bis party 10 his country
The British Foreign once announces that
messages have been transmitted during the
last ten days 10y her Maic>ty's Government
from the bclHgcrent, 10 one another through
Lord Lyons and through Count BcnrstoIh
Favre has determined 70 20 Immediately to
the German headquarters. No basis for nego-
tation la, been agreed upon. G. W. :.
