FIRST REAL MOVEMENT FOR PEACE.
NEW YORK, September ia Paris
special of last night says the prospects
of peace are favorable.
Austria and Russia have consented
to negotiate with Germany, and have
begun by insisting on an armlstce.
Russia and Austria have authorized
their envoys, in the name of all neu-
traI powers, to protest against any dis
memberment Of France. And if the
Intervention secures the suspension OF
hostilities, the attempt will at once De
made to adjust terms of peace.
Bismarck and Won BeuSt are IN ac
tive negotiation, but Bismarck insists
as preliminary to all the arrange
ments that three Prussian army corps
shall be encamped within twenty
miles of Paris as satisfaction to the
public opinion of Germany.
There is great indignation at Paris
at Earl GranVille's refusal to aid in
the peace negotiation. The cause Is
said to be inspired by the Queen, who
approves Williams recognition of
Napoleon as Emperor, and wishes TO
make the Republic as impossible.
The Provisional Government, though
sssaiIed by Red Republicans and Or.
leanists, succeeds admirably, and the
conduct of the people of Paris is in
the highest degree orderly and praise
J worthy.
/ A large French army is forming in
| Normandy, which will be COM
manded by TrOchu in person, and
operate in the German lines in East.
Paris is besieged.
1t is said that the Germans lost oO,-
900 men in the battles around Sedan.

certain that Napoleon will cede to
Prussia enough French territory to

the war, and that Napoleon has stated
| To Bismarck that had he not declared
war as he did, the Republican mob al
Paris would have hung him. The

Parisians will not resist the Prussian
troops, but will make the best terms
possible.
