JULES FAvREs CIRCULAR.
Advices have been received by balloon from
Paris to the 9Th inst. that Favre had issued a
circular to the representatives of France in
foreign countries, assuring them that Prussia
must assume the responsibility of rejecting the
proposition for on armistice. Prussia proves
anew, says Favre, sin rejecting an armistice,
that she makes war for personal aims merely
and not for the interest of Germany. Moth
ing can apparently induce her to relinuuish
the pretext Of the French refusal to cede her
provinces to Prussia. She seeks our destruc-
ton and will be satisfied with nothing else.
Favre then proceeds to lay before the French |
ambassadors detailed account of the negotia-
tiOnS with Bismarck for an armistice, and
shows what he regards as unreasonable de-
mands of the Prussian authorities He says
the Prussians, since the fall of the Empire,
have twice refused TO listen to overtures of |
peace emanating from France. Now, how
ever, after Paris has been besieged for fifty |
days without showing any signs of weakness, !
isians, in consequences of the breaking out of |
rebellion thin their city, has created a gov |
eminent of defence which the neutral powers |
OF Europe ought to recognize as rightful. |
ment. Favre says that the negotiations for an /
armistice were interrupted by the refusal of /
the Germans to permit the revictaaling Of |
Paris during the term of the armistice He |
says he argued with the German authorities in
favor of the necessity and propriety of such re-
vlctualing. showing that without such conces-
sion the armistice would be no armistice at ALL
but continued war. The proposition was
therefore rejected. The negotiations were then
brought to an end because they clearly showed
that Prussia was seeking to destroy the French
people, or she would not subject the noa-com-
batants OF Paris to the horrors of famine
The neu raj powers of Europe had demanded
that an opportunity be had for the assembling
OF French deputies in order that the question
OF peace might be considered. This demand |
has been denied by Prussia, or practically de-
MED, by being clogged with an impossible con-
ditlon. The Prussian charge that the absence
Paris is false. The Prussan negotiations. (
which begin with fervent respect for the |
French people, closes with refusal of an OPP
portunity to hear them. Favre concludes as
follows: AN armistice is the only means
whereby the expression of the French people
on the consequences OF imperial crime can be |
obtained. Prussia practically asks us to lay
down our arms as a preliminary to the consul
taton Of the national will and that the popula-
ton of Paris, men, women and children, shall
starve during the pending vote. We cali right
and Justice to witness against them. Germa-
ny herself will condemn them. The govern
ment will faithfully attempt to render peace
possible and in that she will have the co-opera-
ton of the armies of Paris. Meanwhile Paris |
calls to arms to show what great people can
do to de fend their homes, their honor and their
independence. You will make these facts
known as an opportunity may arise /
