PASSAGE OF THE SEINE BY THE GERMANS
A despatch from the HERALD correspondent in
Paris dated from that city yesterday, reports that
on Friday last the Prussians crossed the Seine at
Juvsy, two kilometers from Paris, with the inten-
ton Of establishing a battery there. They also
crossed the river near Athis, small town situated
between Albion and Juvisy, where they were at
tackled by the French and beaten back after sharp
engagement. About the same time heavy canonad-
ing was heard towards Bicetre and in the direction
OF Forts Ivry and Charenton. Fort vincennes had
previously been evacuated, its guns brought within
the walls Of the city, and its works blown up.

his demands. Lord Lyons deserves all praise for his
Individual efforts to bring about the interview.
FALSE RuxoRs OF AN ARhIsrCE-wHAT BISMARCK
THINKS.
Nothing is officially known in London OF the re-
ported armistice. The rumor is absolutely with
ont foundation. An interview between Bis
marck and Jules Favre viii! probably take
place, Bismarck having declared his readi-
ness to receive him. but the same despatch
says that while he has no objection to converse
tion with ttuar French Minister, the latter must
be prepared to accept Germanys terms or the inter-
view will be useless. Germany does not feel in a
position where she can be called upon by neutrals
appealed to by the French to renounce the material
guarantees essential to her future security, and suf
fcient to protect her against even a dis
tant renewal OF such an attempt on the
part OF France as has just failed.
Considering also that nothing is to be gained, but
much may be lost by temporary suspension of
arms, Bismsrck says he will negotiate for peace,
but not for an armistce. He adds privately
that he is well to what degree Of unpopularity
q French Minister asserting to necessary terms OF
peace must expose himself. But that is not the
fault Of the Germans. If M. Favre expects his mis-.
sion to fruitful he must be prepared to sacrifice
his party to his country
ACTION OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
The British Foreign ONCE announces that MESA
ges have been transmitted during the last ten days
by Her Majesty's Government from the belligerents
to one another through Lord Lyons and through
count Bernstein.
M. Frvre has determined TO 60 Immediately to the
German headquarters. No basis for negotiations
has peen agreed upon.
The New York herald., 1870-09-19

Bismarck this morning. He said positively the
Prussian government will not treat with any gov
ernment not recognized as de jure, and that the
to Prussia Is the government of Napoleon or the
regency acting In his absence "We do not know"
he added whether the whole of France viii
recognize the republic. How can we treat on SO
which may be disavowed tomorrow. ] asked
whether any English dipomatist had arrived at
headquarters to try intervention. IL have seen no
dpomatists," was the answer. He commented
sharply on the French trcachery at Laon saying the
place had capltulated and the Prussians had entered
without any opposition. Then French artillery
man blew up the powder magazine, killing himself,
forty-fve Prussian Jagers and more than three hun
dred Gardes Mobiles.
PRUSSIA CANNOT TREAT WITH THE REPUBLIC
Shortly after his conversation with Count Bis
marck the HERALD correspondent met Count Won
Kendell, Bismarcks counsellor. He expressed great
anxiety concerning the attitude Of the United States
now that the French had proclaimed republic,
saying, "We are anxious to have Americ an sympa-
thy on our side, but we cannot treat with such
republic AZ this"
1t is reported that Favre is expected at head.
quarters to negotiate personally for peace.
TBF PRUssIANs MUST HAVE sTRASBOURG AND
METz--THEY EXPECT AN RESURRECTION IN PARIS.
A despatch from Paris, dated yesterday morning,
says that messenger s just In from the front and
the Kings and Prussan headquarters. He reports
that Bismarck and the King insist upon the perma-
nent occupation by the Prussians OF Strasbourg and
Metz Indemnity is not question OF so much con-
sideraiOn; but the Otner condition Is the sine qua
,tOn.
The Prussians intend beeaguering Paris and de-
aging operations, relying upon an insurrectiOn
against the provisional government; but feara per-
manent establishment of the republic on account
OF the danger to monarchical institutions In Prussia
POSSIBLE ACTION OF JULES FAvRE
The HERALDs special correspondent at Paris
Friday, says he has gathered the following from
q conversation with Jules Favre:-
M. Favrc thus far has carefully avoided offending
monarchical governments Should he fail to induce
them TO support France, he viii throw himself unre
servedy into the hands OF the republicans and cali
all Europe, no matter what nationality, to aid HIM
In crusade against monarchcal institutions.
GENERAL ITEMS OF NEWS.
rne attempt OF the British Embassy 10 cOmmuni.
cate with the Prussian headquarters failed because
it was impossible to hnd anywhere a German onicer
commanding; no one could be seen but irresponsible
Uhans.
The foreign Embassies dispatches all agree that
Germany demands Alsace and part OF Lorraine, and
that the provisional government would be repud
ated by the country If it accepted such terms
Mr.. Washburne expressed great Indignation at The
rejection OF all overtures by Bismarck.
The action OF the neutral Powers thus far has been
completely paralyzed by Englands refusal to recog
nize the provisional government.
