Up to six O'Clock yesterday afternoon
n. Thiers had submitted no other tangi
gle proposals to tho British Governmen
than that tho neutral Powers should sim
ultaneously exert their good offices for thl
restoration OF peace. Lord Granville wa
inclined to act upon this suggestion, bu
Mr.. Gladstone thought that such an effor
was sure to be misunderstood; II woult
appear like a league against Prussia; anC
"a measure not 70 be adopted unless thI
parties thereto were ready TO support
their representations by force if,they wert
not accepted-views, which, of course, Id
vOlved the total rejection Of M. Theirs
proposal. Following this rebuff, N! Thlers
purpose was to alarm England by declar.
ing that q general republican movement
was imminent throughout Europe, and
only to be represSed by strengthening the
present moderate, Government In; France.
On the advice OF friends, however, he abb

An Inquiry from Bismarck. l
Indepently OF N. Thiers, and before his
arrival, tho French. Government, which
does not conceal from the English Cdbi.
net Its anxious desire for an armistice, had
besought Earl Granville to transmit to the
Prussian headquarters certain oyertures
tending to negotiaons onspeciied terms.
The answer received from Prussia takes
the form Of two questions: n, ~ .rl
FErSt- -Supposing the terms of the ar
mistice agreed on between you and us,
can you undertake that the French army
will abide by them-meaning by the
French army all forces under Bazatne, in

other organizations. ~. r RI '.Ta \. !.iSoli

Hu.a Favre's Reply.
Mr.. Favre replied: eve undertake to
answer for the army. AS Tor the nation, we
will cbnvoke the Constituent Assembly in
the shortest possible tune, a fortnight at
most, and submit conditions to that As.
sembly which should be FREQ to express
the National will, VIC to resign our pow
ers into Its hands. 1fsuch Assembly ac-
cepts and rNtities our acts, that will boa
full guarantee to Prussia
Obviously, this answer admits that the
present Provisional Government cannot
give any guarantee which, even If follow
ed by an Immediate Hrmisticc, mightnot
be erepudiated by the Assembly. Prussia's
reply, however, is awaited, 9ndmeantime
an attempt Is making to bring about q
personal interview between Favre and
Bismarck. i'5 ie+ 5.1rs. /. i

action which does not share Bismarck's
views, but which has always retained
considerable influence over the King. In
my case, it does not extend beyond nego-
.iations for peace, leaving France to de.
tide her own dCstlnies thereafter. Per-
IONS in close relations with Bismarck in
list strongly that he holdsfvcry different
