LONDON, Sept. 26.-Cable special to
the Tribune-A correspondent to the Tri-
bune writes from Meaux, Sept. IS, head
quarters of King William:
had q conversation with Bismarck,
during which l asked him if the report
was true that there was an English repre-
here.
He answered the English have asked
me if we will treat with Jules Favre, and
| replied we would if his government
could guarantee US possession of Metz and
This he could not do. In
this war we are influenced, said Bismarck,
by no motive of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT what
ever. We have no purpose in view but
our own security. Consequently, we
must provide for the next war, which is
sure to come. France is now without
allies, but may succeed in procuring them,
and is sure to commence another war
under better auspices. That is why we
demand these forts, but the present gov
eminent in Paris dare not sgree to ces-
sion of French territory, nor probably will |
he next government. But our purpose is |
liked, and if necessary, we are ready to |
stay all winter at Paris.
said the general impression was that
France is too much weakened to begin !
another war for many years.
That is not the case, answered Bis
narck; France is very wealthy country,
and will remain so after the war. With
in five years she will have so far re-
covered as to be able to recOmmence hos
.ilities. For that reason we must have
hose forts. But as the government at
Paris is not disposed to deliver them up,
md probably has no command over them,
peace is not very near, and we must walt |
i'll we can reduce them. We hear that |
he garrisons are already ealing horses.
Then, the question of peace, i said,
'educes itself to one for the possession of |
Metz and Strasbourg?
He answered, Yes; that is it precisely. |
