a correspondent of the Tribune
writes from Mcaux on the 1sth-the
headquarters of King william: l had
4 conversation with Count Won Bis
marck. during which I asked him IL the
report was true that there was an Eng
lish representative here. He said the
English have asked Inc IL We will treat
with Jules Favre. and I replied that
We would if his Government could
guarantee us the possession Of Metz
and Strasburg. This no could not do.
In this war all are influenced, said he,
by no motive Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT what
We have no purpose In view
but on own security. Consequently
we must provide for the next war,
which is sure to come next fall. France
is without allies, but may soon succeed
in procuring them, and Is sure to COM
mence a war under better auspices.
This is why we demand these for
tresses; but the present Government
at Paris do not agree to accession OF
French territory, nor probably will
the next Government but our pur-
pose is fixed, and If necessary we are
ready to stay all winter at Paris.
II said the general impression wa
that France Is too much weakened to
begin another war for many years.
That is not the case" answered
he; France is a very wealthy coun-
try, and will remain so after the war.
Within five years she will have 80 re-
covered as to be able to recomlnence
hostilities. For that rcsson We must
have these forts. But the Government
ut Paris is not disposed to deliver them
up, and probably has no command over
them. Peace Is not very near, and we
must wait until we can reduce them.
We hear that the g%arrisons are eating
horses"

said, "reduces itself-one for the pos
session Of Metz and Strasbourg."

pecially."
