| TOURS, Sept. 2.-Jules Fayro to-day made an
ofcial report 10 the Government here OF his mission
to the Prussian headquarters in behalf OF peace,
He says that great many solutions OF the dinhcu-
| ties had been proposed and rejected. and he de.
termined at last to make direct move. Therefore,
on the 10th OF September, lie demanded OF Count

France could oder. The Foreign Minister, who was
| acting as Intermediary, advised M. Favre to see
| Count Won Bismarck and make his demands In per
| son. Accordingly N. Favre saw Count vos Bis

| was too precarious and likely to be overthrown.
France would not be any more apt TO forget Sedan
than she had been to forget Waterloo and Sadowa.
| She would soon stack Germany again. Being
pre- ssed for conditions, NJ. Fayre was explicit, but
| Count Won Bismarck asserted that the security OF
his country demanded the retention OF part Of the
territory the Germans now occupied. and mentioned
in that connection the departments OF Upper Rhine,
Lower hhine and Moselle, with Metz, ChAteau, Sal.
mis and Scissors. To the objection OF M. Favre.
that tie people OF France would rot agree TO that
and that he could not act without their sanction,
Count Bismarck replied that he felt confident OF
| that before, but as another war certain, he
wished to make with all the advantages possible.
| NJ Fayre then intimated that Europe might hnd

| lie was certain that France would never accept
them. She might perish as q nation, but she would
not be dishonored. The country alone could decide
on the question OF territorial cession. and NJ Favre
could not doubt what that decision would be. Count
Won Bismarck would not listen 10 any proposition
| for ~ armstice.
The second interview occurred at Ferrieres
the 18th Of September. On this occasion Won Bis.
msrck seemed to accept the idea OF an armistice.
N. Fsvre asked for fifteen days.
The next day Won Bismarck handed NJ. Favre his
forls commanding Paris, more especially Fort du
Mont yslerien, on tie western border
N. Favre replied that II would be simple TO
demand Paris at once. Won Bismarck said II these
terms were not satisfactory. the
FRENCH MUST SEEK OTHER ARRAEaEHRsrs
NJ Favre proposed meeting OF tho Constituent
Assembly at Tours. Won Bsmark made a condition
that the garrison Of Strasbourg should surrender

his efforts for peace have been met by the Germans
