Paris without seeing Bismarck bav-
ing failed, he was obliged 10 carry
with him preliminaries. which prac-
tically forbid the aTmistice. In Paris
he was badly received On the streets
by crowds, who showed him great i'll
will as the bearer Of the news that
Metz had capitulated. A guard was
required for his protection, and finally
he left the city with an escort of
cavalry.
Fa7re, who was to have accom-
panied him, excused himself aJ that
moment ca account OF -the threaten
ing aspect Of affairs.
Theirs had six interviews with Bis
marck, and except Is diplomatic cir
cles. nobody paid him the least at
tention.
All the German commanders regard
peace impossible until Paris is taken.
but even now the bombaTdment is
not certain. The seige guns are ae-
tually In position on many points. but
is is believed that the fire will not be
opened before the 18th.
interrupted letters from Paris are
filed with complaints for want Of
food and supplies. At st. German
and Versailles they are more abundant
than ever. Great quantities of proVis-
ions, and especially forage, are discov-
cred almost daily that were concealed
by the French.
A Tribune special from Che head
quarters of the Army Of the Loire, of
tue 9Th, says: This army has in
creased rapidly, and numbers 100. 900.
Artillery is abundant, but harness
and saddlery are deficient. The men
are we'll equipped and fed. The
French Generals cannot make it out
why they have been permitted to con-
centrste so large force unmolested.
The French themselves, when they
we're changing front at Salbais, In
tended to attack, but did not, because
the movement took six days instead
of tWenty-four hours. Their failure
was due to the interference of the
Tours Government, which insisted on
directing every detail. and had its
own plan of battle. Everything
broke down from sheer ignorance and
Incompetence, and yet the Generals
are blamed for delay.
A correspondent Of the World,
writing from Versailles on the 18th,
says no truce WAS agreed upon, be-
cause the government insisted on the
re-proYlsi0nlng OF the city.
The Prussian military authorities
refused this, although Bismarck was
willing to concede 1t. Prussia stated
her demands with considerable dis
tinetness, expressing, IN regard to her
money account, that her conditions

/ had a lengthy conversation with
M. Theirs. He informed me Of q
diplomatic journey he had performed
through Europe. He went first to
Tours, and then to Paris, arriving at
Versailles on the 31st, with the neces-
sary powers to treat. He conferred
with Bismarck every day, ald some
times twice day, discussing the con-
ditiOns Of truce, and the first step
toward the formation of g regular
government. IF hostiiities tempora
rily cease, the election might be held /,
and the Constituent Assembly con-
voked, which would decide upon a
form of government, q I'd which would
determine the question of peace or war.
Theirs informed me that it was not
true that England had taken the lead
in the endeavor to obtain terms for
France, while Russia stood aloof, but
that the reverse is true.
Theirs found Gladstone engrOssed
In home affairs. He was indifferent
as to the concerns of the rest Of the
world, and was afraid TO meddle with
them. Granville is too much of a
courtier to wound the German prepos
sessions: The Queen neither seemed
awake to the danger arising for Eng
land from the formation of az all
powerful monarchy in the center o.
Europe; but they did not concea
their jealousy of Russia.
There was no vexatIon when Ihleri
informed them that he was going t
st. Petersburg. " Why leave US 81
soon?' they asked. Why SHOULD
YOU 20 to Russia?' ITO try and fine
friends that l could not find here,
answered Theirs. In truth, at St
Petersburg Theirs did find friends
who knew what Russia would hay,

enough to rouse England and max
her take the lead. Then the fou
powers agreed to address Prussia col
Iectively. Austria was glad to d
that little for a power whose success
would have delighted ner, but who's
defeat alarmed her. Italy, the leas
friendly of all powers, hardly con
eeale0 her regret at the fell of tn
Bonaparte dynasty.
