LONDON, Friday Sept. 16.---Up to 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon, M.
Theirs had submitted no other tangi-
BILE proposal TO the British Govern
ment, than that the neutral powers
should simultaneously exert their
good Offices for a restoration of peace.
Lord Granville was inclined to act
upon this suggestion, but Gladstone
thought that such an effort was sure
10 be misuuds rstood. lt would ap-
pear like league against Prussia,
and was a measure not be adopted IN
less the parties thereto we're ready TO
support their representations BY force
if they were not the accepted views,
which of course, involved the total
rejection Of Theirs proposal.
The Following is the rebuff OF
Theirs: The purpose was to
alarm England by declaring that
general Republican movement was
imminent throughout Europe, and
was only to be repressed by the
strengthening OF the present moderate
Government of France" Ga the ad.
vice of friends. however, be abstained
from addressing his menace to the
EoglIsh Government.
It is absolutely true, IS before tele-

without instructions, credentials, or
power OF offering any guarantee on
the part of France.
Independently Of Theirs, and b.
fore his arrival, the French govern
ment. which does not conceal from
the English Cabinet its anxious de- |
sire for an armistioe, bad sought Earl |
Granville to transmit to the Pfussian |
headquarters certain overtures. ten
ding 20 negotiations Of specified terms. |
The answer received from Prussia |
takes the form Of two questions. |
First, surprising the terms OF the arr
mistice il agreed on between you and |
us, can you undertake that the French
army will abide By them-meaning
By the French army, all the forces
under Bazaine, in Stras Sourg, the ar
my Of Lyons, and all.other Organiza-
tiOns2 Second, supposing Tie army
accepts. will the nation?
Nj. Eavre replied, I'VE undertake
to answer for the army rs for the
nation. We will convoke a constitu-
ent assembly IN the shortest possible
time, fortnight at most, aud submit !
the conditions to that assembly. which
should be free to express the Nation
al will. If we are to resign our powers
into its hands. If such assembly
accepts and ratifies our acts. that will
be q full guarantee to the Pfussians.
Obviously this answer admits that
the present provisional government
can not give any guarantee which,
even If followed BY an immediate arr
mistice, might not be repudiated By
the Assembly. Prussia's reply, how
ever, IS awaited, aud in the meantime
an attempt is being made to bring
about q personal interview between
Favre. and Bismarck as TO the sup
posed purposes OF Prussia to treat
with the Regency for peace, as tele-
Rraphed by Berlin correspondence.
He writes By post that his informa.

ii ID bs the view held and urged by
the Tory party, at Berlin, that court
faction which does not share Bis
marck's views, but which has always
retained considerable influence over
the King; 10 any case, it does not ex-
tend beyond negotiations for peace. \
leaving France 20 decide her oEn des-
tIules hereafter. Persons in close re-
latiOns with Bismarck, insist Jtrongly
that he holds very different views. aud
that Ia the negotiations for peace he
will not discuss technical questions.
nor ask BIZ what title a1y French gov
ernment holds power. provided It can
guarantees the execution Of the terms
Of peace to which it agrees.
