Qualities of the Prussians-Deniai that
Hing William will Treat only with
Nnpoieon-Bismarck Consents to see
Favre.
LONDON, September 20-The latest Ber-
lin advices state the King will receive Favre
| at Rheims tomorrow to hear his PROPOSE
tons.
BERLIN. September 20-The North Ger
man government officially notifies the Great
powers that though the blockade has been
raised, navigation of the North and Baltic
seas is dangerous on account OF the absence
of lights and buoys.
The Gar of Russia writes the PrIssian
Queen. extolling the wonderful ability and
soldicrly qualities of the Prussians, and
congratulates the Queen on the Prussian
victories.
1t is denied that King William will only
treat with Napoleon but will hold all occu-
pied territory until stable government
guarantees a treaty.
The North German Gazette says Bismarck
consents to see Favre, promising, however,
that Germany is not disposed to inter1neddle
in the internal affairs of France.
The German States are ready to recognize
the republic when they.are sure the French
people prefer that form of government; but
TO protect the military, they recognize, in
the territory actually occupied, the authori-
ties placed in power by the empire. More
over, it is still unknown whether Bazaine
recognizes the republic and government at
Paris; indeed, it is reported he expressly
dsavows both.
Queen Augusta received a letter yester-
day from the Emperor of Russia, congratu-
lating her upon the great and victorious
army Of Germany, extolling the ability and
soldierly qualities displayed by the Crown
Prince, and other members of the royal
family.
This letter sets at rest all riimors as to
the hostility of Russia toward Prussia.
The Crown Princess is now at Berlin with
the Queen, and devotes her time to the care
of the wounded.
Private letters from Cassel state the En-
peror Napoleon has formally revoked the
decree by which the Empress assumed the
regency in Paris.
There is no foundation whatever for the
statement that the King of Prussia intends
to treat for peace only with Napoleon; on
the contrary, the King is prepared to re-
ceive. or even make proposals to the au-
thorities who hold Paris in the interest OF
peace.
He is. however. determined that Germany
will hold possession of points already gained,
unless terms of peace can be ratified by the
Chambers which are regularly elected.
A letter from Bismarck, dated the elev-
enth instant states that the next phase of
the war will be the investment, and 1t is
hoped in time. the occupation OF Paris, and
after that. peace with the government OF
Paris or with those in power, whoever they
may be- They can not desire further
slaughter when all that will be required of
them will be to give certain absolute guar
antees that the peace of Europe will not
again be disturbed.
Il see," continues the Prussian Prince,
"that am paraded in the columns of GER
tain journals as having stated what those
guarantees must be and what they must not
be- OF course, the statements are mainly
romance. When approached by gentlemen
of the press, generally give them civil an
swers, and their imag ginatiOn does the rest.
You know, of course, what guarantees are
necessary to secure a lasting peace, and to
prevent ever AGAIN an aggressive war on the
part OF France against Germany. 1t is
rather a military than political question.
The King and his friends will decide the
true relation III good time, meanwhile, no
overtures of peace can now be well received
until the army is before Paris, but rest sat
istied that the safety of Germany being
properly secured, and peace with the world
assured, no obstacle viii be placed on the
part of Germany in the way for the ternln-
alton Of the war, into which she was
dragged most unwillingly, but from
which she will never retire until the
legitimate aspirations OF her children
aresecured, and the integrity OF the Father
land guaranteed, while the people of Ger
many are rendered safe from any cruel and
unnecessary conflict, the slaughser resulting
from which we can not but look upon with
horror"
