Jules Favre's Official Circuiar-The Position

Jules Favre's Official Circuiar-The Position
of the New Republican Appeal to Foreign
Nations.
PARIS, Sept. 19.-The official Journal of the
Republic yesterday contained a circular of
Jules Favre to the representatives of France in
other countries, of which the following are the
chief points,
He explained why the elections for members
of the Constituent Assembly had been fixed at
an earlier date than was at first proposed. OBJ
lection had been made that the present Provi-
sional Government at Paris was not regu-
lara fact that we were forced
to admit. The urgency of the case is
also presented in strong language. 1t was the
first duty of the Government to defend the soil
and preserve its honor, and then return the
delegated powers of the people without vio-
lence. Nothing is to expected from Prussia.
Her supreme will and exaltation at success are
irrec conciable with calm impartiality and states
manship. Two hundred thousand victims have
already been sacrificed to her ambition, in this
impious war; and it is certain she will dictate to
France conditions that this momentary and
incompetent Government should not accept.
Hence we convoke an assembly freely chosen to
decide.
What we ask now is, only to give the country
our hearts and our blood. Then let France de-
France, raising itself to confront Prussia.
France, released from the winding sheet of
Empire; France, free and generous, is ready to
immediate itself for right and liberty. Disavow-
ing all those exalted political ideas of the old
government, France has now no higher ambi
ton than to remain mistress of herself, in order
to- develop her moral and material resources,
and labor fraternally with her neighbors in the
development of civilization.
1t is this France recovering its free action,
that now asks for q cessation of the war. But
she will prefer thousand fold disasters to dis
honor. The very ones who awoke the storm
now falsely say the country is willing to yield.
This may mislead abroad but not here. France
wishes prosperity commerce, and civilization,
but prefers disaster to dishonor. 1t is the duty
of France to repair as far as possible the evils
of the past government The elections last year
were Elusive. France never voted for war with
Prussia. No honest man in Europe thinks so.
To the power now seeking to crush us, we
must oppose a desperate resistance until the
nation is able to speak through the Constituent
Assembly, freely chosen. snake the powers
understand this" adds Favre, mankind must
admire but pity the spectacle of Paris without
looking to the right or left or backwards, but
with its eyes fixed on the great and simple duty
of defending its firesides and its freedom"

| Fayre,s Mission Disasters Preferred TO Dis
hOuOr-The French Nation Not mt Fault.
PARIS, Sept. 1s.-The Journal 06lciel to-day pub
fishes a circular from Jules Fayre concerning
Frances representations abroad: He calls atten-
ton 10 the significance OF the earlier date named for
| the convOcatIon OF the Constituent Assembly; SAYS
the first duty OF the Government is TO defend the
SOIL 1t is objected that the Government s irregular
and without power. This is admitted, and for this
reason Is the Assembly conv0ked.
| France has demanded the cessation OF the war,
but prefers disaster dshonor. 1t is bad faith on
the part of those who declare war TO assert tnat
they were forced to do so by majority OF the ma
| ton. -
The Assembly applauded Gramont's warlike de
clsrations but some weeks before also applauded
Oniyers peaceful utteranees The majority, crea-
lures of personal favoTitism, considered themselves
bound to support even their most perious contra
dictions. They refused an examination, and voted
blind confidence. Hence the irremediaole misfor-
tune
| Europe is challenged 10 demonstrate that the
nation, If conversant with affairs, would have de
J clared war against Prussia. The Provisional Gov
