to-day, with the French Charge dAffaires
at London. He said that the members of
the government in Paris rejected Bis
marck's conditions because they are conf
dent of the ability of France to finally repel
the invaders, preserve all territory and save
the honor of the country.
France is now savagely in earnest. Every
day she grows stronger and more conscious
OF her strength. Prussia can no longer get
food and forage by simply overrunning the
population. They have got nothing with
out fighting hard for it. As the winter ad-

An attack upon the forts defending Paris
will scarcely be possible before the twen-
tieth. and no bombardment of the city will
be possible till the forts are taken. The
forts are armed with more powerful guns
than any that have yet been planted against
them.
The Prussians have few guns of heavier
calibre than sixty four pounds. Should
these now open a fire. the guns of the forts
would soon silence them, and even should
the forts be finally taken the grounds be-

At the final interview between Bismarck
and Favre, the former for the first time de-

mission of food into Paris during the truce.
The provisional government of France re-
fused to consent to an armistice without
this condition, which Bismarck had init

The real cause of the disagreement, how
ever, was the utter refusal of the French
government to promise the cession Of terri
