COUNT BIsMARCK's EXPLANATION OF THE
FAILURE OF NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE AR
NIsTICE.
! LONDON, Nov. S-Count Bismarck has
furnished the following explanation of the
rupture Of negotiations for the armistice:
The French Government, having declined
through its representative Theirs, its ability
to accept the German offer of an armistice
on the basis of the sstdfu quo, the Count pro-
posed that the French name the time for
holding the election for the Constituent As
sembly. The Germans promised that in
such an event, absolute freedom of elections
should be respected even in the territory
now occupied by the Prussians. Theirs
thereupon withdrew to the outposts to con-
suit Favre, but at length returned to Yer
sailles, without the power to accept the Ger
man terms. King William issued an order
that no person will hereafter be allowed
to enter or leave Paris. Four passengers have
Just been captured, and will he co,lrt-mar-
tailed for violation of the order.
BIsMARCK's ACCOUNT CONFIRMED.
LONDON, Nov. S.-Private advices from
Versailles confirm the account given by Bis
marck of suspension of the negotiations for
an armistice. Jules Favre, with majority
of his colleagues, favored the scheme for the
election of members to the Constituent AS
sembly, and urged the acceptance of the ar
mistice As negotiated by Theirs Gen. TrOchu
dissented, andscarried his point.
| Metz has been made the capital of the Ger
man LOthringen.
| The Times has reason to believe that the
bombardment of Paris Will not begin for two
weeks. King William is reluctant to destroy
so grand a city, and is giving the French
every opportunity to negotiate for peace.
The French fortress of Belfort was invested
on Thursday. Communication with General
| Won WQrder has been re-estabiished.
| A special from Ostend says some of the
leading German journals advise making
peace with France without the cession OF
French territory; and that if Alsace and Lor-
raine are demanded as an indispensable con-
dition, the war will continue Indefinitely.
