IA. and ANXIOUS TO conclude the war,

An immense Catholic meeting was
held tonight at st. james Hall. The
platform was crowded with the no
bility and gentry. The Archbishop
said that English Catholics were CON-
paratively few in number, but they
echoed the voice of millions in Ire
land and America. and it must be
needed that, belonging as it does, to
the freest country in the world, the
voice of Catholics in England, Hol-
land and Belgium, on behalf of the
Pope, is loud, on being told that he is
prisoner, in the hands of q
sanguinary mob.

the proposed Gambetta armistice.
In the highest political circles the
report is disbelieYed, and is regarded
as a stock jobbing card. Another re-
port states that Bismarck declares he
will listen to no proposal, and is de-
teTmined to go into Paris and uaVre.

GANBETTA "THEoWs UP THE SPONGE"
LONDON December 9.-A dispatch
from Gambetta asks Laurier TO an
nounce that he - Gambetta - had
asked for an armistice to enable the
National Assembly to be elected, aud
that Favre be permitted to
leave Paris to consult his colleagues
and conduct the negotiations. He
admits that he has lost hope in prose-
cutting a successful struggle, and has
rot the expectation to defend Tours.
The Army of the Loire has been
beaten in detail, and Gambetta de-
clines the responsibility of a further
struggle or of making peace. The
Assembly, he says, must decide.
