| government of that character IN France
known to Prussia is the government of
Napoleon or the regency acting in his alb
sence. We do not know, he added,

Letters received at the British Embassy
from the interior show the utter powerless-
ness of the Government; in many large
towns the Reds are supreme. Secretary
Mallett, from the same embassy, vainly
attempted to reach the Prussian headquar-
tiers on a special mission.
Jules Favre is exceedingly anxious
about the maintenance of the power of
the present government. He is in great
fear lest the Reds should rise.

An Interview with Jules Favre.
A Tribune correspondent at Paris, on
Friday, has gathered the following from
a conversation with Jules Favre: Fsvre
thus far has carefully avoided offending
the Monarchical Governments. Should
he fail to induce them to support France,
he will throw himself unreservedly into
the hands of the Republicans, and call all
Europe, no matter of what natiOnalities, 10
aid him in a crusade against monarchical
institutions.
The attempt of the British Embassy
TO communicate with the Prussian head
quarters failed, because it was impossible
to find anywhere German officer. No
one could be seen but irresponsible
| Uhans.
Foreign Embassies dispatches all agree
that Germany demands Alsace and part of

eminent of France will be repudiated by
the country if it accepts on such terms.
Washburne expresses great indignation
at the rejection of all overtures by Bis

All of the neutral powers thus far are
completely paralyzed by England's refusal
to recognize the Provisional Government.
