LONDON, October 22-The Empress
Eugenfe is in London holding confer
ence with Lord Granville. Neg0tia-
tions very favorable for peace are
progressing. England asks for an ar
mistice, not for the purpose Of elect
ing constituent assembly, but for
the restoration of the empire. Eu-
genie is to re-enteT France, and Ba-
Zaine will leave Metz 10 protect her,
restore order and make peace. TrOcnu
approves the plan.
LONDON. October 23.-The tele-
grams from Tours and Vienna an
nOuncing a proposal by England OF
an armistice are substantially true.
have the highest authority for say
| ing that the British government con-
cluded last week that the time had
arrived for making another effort.
They considered the moment critical,
and felt it their duty to try some
thing.
They have urged an armistice by
making common representations TO
| Paussia and France, asking other
/ powers to Join them in the effort TO
/ bring il about. The armistice is in
| tended to allow cOnvOcatiOn of the
] French assembly. 1t is understood
that Bismarck favOrs such a cOnvOca-
tion, but insists the armistice must
not involve an impracticable basis OF
peace, while the OYertures of Great
Britain have not been unfavOrably re-
/ eeiYed at both Tours Ond Versailles.
The British government has small
/ hopes Of success. There is a chance,
butonly chance that the present ef-
fort may produce the suspension OF
| hOstilities.
