circular from bismarck.

BERLIN, October 4.-The following is
a more extended synopsis of the circu-
lar recently issued by Count Bismarck
to the representatives of other countries
in Berlin, mention of which has already
been made. In his circular, Bismarck
admits that Favre's representation OF
what passed at the interview may not
have been Intentionally wrong, because
the conversation was long and many
propositions were proposed and dis
cussed. Bismarck did say new Mo
selle district, to be certainly protected
and including the ACCOMPLISHMENTS Of
Saarbruck, Chateau Salines, Sarge
mund, Metz and Thionville, would be
demanded by Prussia, but he took pains
TO saw that this might not be all the
territory exacted. Favre said that
Strasburg was the key Of the
house, not explaining which house,
German or French. Favre, in a pre-
vious correspondence, had said he
was willing to pay as the price OF
peace all the money France had, but ne
refused to listen to any territorial sur
render. He added that if such ces-
sion was an indispensable requirement
of Prussia, negotiation was useless, as
it involved France in dishonor. Bis
marck reminded him that they were
terms such as France had forced on
Italy and exacted from Germany, even
without a previous war, and that the
honor Of France was not keener than
other peoples. Favre declined to rec
ognize precedents or to see how little the
honor of France was concerned with the
preservation of the territorial thefts Of
Louis XIV, or of the republic, or OF
the first Empire. The question of an
armistice was the one discussed at Fer
rieres. The statement, therefore, thai
a had refused an armistice at the pre-
ceding interviews. is false.
1t was agreed at the Ferrieres meet
ing that an armistice would be possible
if France would give Prussia guarantee
against delay, against destroying tn
advantages of positions she had carries
in the war. Those guarantees inciud

ments. Favre refused these terms, vet
promised to consult his colleagues in the
government at Paris.
The programme he carried back and
submitted included an armistice OF
fifteen or twenty days to permit the
meeting Of the Constituent Assembly,
the maintenance of military status be-
fore Paris, the continuance of hostilities
under certain limitations and the sur
render of Strasburg, Toul and Bitsche.
The refusal of these terms must con-
vince mankind that the French gov
ernment believed their acceptance would
produce a peace, but one which was
not desired by them.
