The came correspondent writes, the 10th, that Bis

Germany was also considered. The details have
been postponed for the present but 1t is understood
that q common constitution will be given all the
States, north and south of the Uaine alike with
ample guarantees tor healthy political and econo-
Bavaria and Baden distinctly decline territorial
enlargement, while agreeing that Alsace and Lor-
raine must return TO Germany.
The recently appointed civil commissioner for
Alsace, Won Kuhlwetter, has telegraphed to the
boards of trade at Elherfeid and Bremen for their
views of the influence upon German industrial in
terests on the admission of Alsace and the Depart
ment of the Moselle into the German Zolverein.
Malet, second secretary OF the British embassy,
who finally succeeded in getting to the Prussan
headquarters, returned on Friday. bringing
swer from Bismarck to Lord Lyons. Before this
visit Lord Lyons had asked Favre whether IL Eng
land regulated an armistice the French govern
ment WouIu welcome her intervention. Wnen tnls
became known to Granville, Lyons was politely re-
buked for his pains.
Bent on improving the situation, Lyons then sent
Malet on informal mission to Bismarck, notify
ing Granville after Mslst had gone. Granville
forthwith directed Lyons to summon NJ llet back.
Lyons obeyed but his messenger took the wrong
road, and Malet, after several failures in making
his way through crowd of uhlans, reached the
kings headquarters. Out of all this succession of
cross-purposes grew considerable coOness between
Lyons and Granville
Malets talk with Bismarck was plain and to the
point. He asked for an ultim atum. "We must
have Metz and Strasburg," said Bismarck "Dis-
mantled," asked Malet? "No,' replied Bism Grck,
"stronger than ever" "Then suppose the French
government finds your terms impossible?" ave
shall invest and starve Paris, and if that does not
succeed, we shall try sharper means" "Woud
you lombard the city?" "Certa!nly, and burn it if
forced; necessity is trsty; but how to escape it?
Bismarck Is talk about Gladstone and Granville
and their tiDlid MESA carrying was the reverse
of respectful and he did not hesitate TO let it be
siders and resolved to settle all questions with
France alone. For Lord Lyons himself, Bismarck
professed respect and good will and advised him to
get out of Paris while he could. He had notified
Granville that the siege once begun, he would
allow communication between foreign govern
ments and their embassies inside the city
The written answer sent By Bismarck to Lord
Lyons was confidential and has not been disclosed;
but Lord Lyons intimates that he thinks Bismarck
means to have Paris in his hands before concluding
peace, the most effective measure of enforcing
his demands Nor is the French government at
heart confident of defence. Gen. Trochu told Lyons
he would do his best, but he added: "rhere will be
and that will lead to anarchy" The
Ministers still utter brave words.
Kussa's attitude ia still reserve. It has come out
that Gortschakof asked by England to join in a
fresh guarantee for Belgium. He answered, ayes,
if you will include Holland"
The Berlin correspondent Of the Tribune tele-
graphs the 10Th that Favres last circular is in the
main received favorably.
The correspondence between Count Bernstorf
and Granville, and the account in the Daily News
of the large quantities of arms England is furnish
ing France, created great indig Eation.
The reported intention of the King to return to
Berlin is entirely unfounded
The movement in Bavaria and Wurtemberg in
favor of forming an United States OF Germany,
under the constitution OF North Germany, being
properly modified is successfully progressing.
