LONDON, Nov. 11.-Late last evening q re-
port was received here that the garrison at
New Breisach had hoisted the white flag.

states that Garibaldi has surrendered to the
Germans. No particulars received. The
report is generally discredited.

The report lately published in the Daily
Nea0S of this city relative to the attitude of
the Empress Eugene is pronounced false at
Berlin. No envoy has been sent to her by
the Prussian Government, nor have any such
claims as those mentioned been put forward
at all.
Austrins Mediation.
The correspondent of the Times, writing
from Berlin yesterday, says a sharp reply has
been returned to Austria in response to her
note offering mediation, on the ground that
Austria having armed at the beginning of the
war is disqualified now to act as neutral
1t is generally thought that Prussia will prefer
the annexation of two provinces, Alsace and
Lorraine, to any guarantee that neutral
powers may see fit to make. Prussias rela-
tions with Austria and Russia are not such as
to render any guarantee of theirs acceptable.

LONDON, Nov. 10-LSpecial TO New York Tri-
bune. Letters from the Tribune correspondent
at Paris, from the 9TH to the 7th instant, have
been received. Under date of the 9th he says
To-day we are under the impression that the
armistice will be signed to morrow, and no Que
affects even to doubt that an armistice will
eventually result In peace The oourgeoiste are
heartily tired of playing soldier, and the game
has lost its novelty; besides the nights are too
cold to make picnic to the Notifications any
longer agreeable.
THE cry for peace is universal. The soldiers
although Trochu is popular among them, have
neither faith nor confidence In his generalship.

their villages, express openly the wish to
go home, and tell the Parisians that they
have no intention to remain long out in

citizens are sleeping quietly In their houses or
in barracks. The workingmen are spelling for
fight either with the Prussians or some other
| foe. They are, however so thoroughly enjoy
ing themselves doing nothing and getting paid
for it, that they are in too good a humor TO be
misehieVous.
