These remarks Were yehemently APP
plauded and the terms offered by Prus-
sla were unanim ously rejected.
Since the reply of Favre for the Gov
ernment reached Bismarck at Meaux he
has been obviously disturbed in mind.
The PrussIan Embassay here begins to
speak OF proposing a Congress OF the
European Powers 10 guarantee the full
fillment by France of whatever terms of
peace may be suggested and adopted.
THE ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA
All rumors of an enlargement be.
tween Prussia and Russia. and the
armament of the latter are unfcundcd.
Russia in her present original attitude
has rendered Germany great service in
keeping Denmark, Sweden and Austria
neutral. She will have her rccompensc
when the war is ended. II j. understood
that the treaty excluding Russian ships
of war from the Black sea is ALREADY a
dead letter.
