LONDON, Nov. 5.-The news of the ar
mistico was enthusiastically received in
London. At Rheims, Epernay, Chalonsj
Menchould, and many other places, con-:
flicts occur almost daily between the oiti-
zens and Prussians. In Dion, the Prus-
slams have occupied the barracks, and or
dered $4,000 rations for the expected rein
forcements. Gen. Michael has arrived
there.
The Prussians seem to avoid Chagncy,
and are going toward Creuzat.
Reports from Paris state that Jules
Favre had repeated that tho Government.
would not cede any territory as the price
Of peace. There has been no fighting.
around Paris for the past three days. A
fire from French forts, however, is kept
up to prevent the erection of Prussian bat
teries. In this purpose, the French gun
ners have been very successful. Arago,
Mayor Of Paris, and his aids, have resigned.
Hereafter the Government will take tho
strongest measures against rioters. Per-
sons thus far arrested, for completely in
disorders on that day, are those who have
been most riot. Theirs was insulted in the
streets by mob. 1t is reported that
Blanque, Forcns and most of their active
assistants were arrested and imprisoned.
The people were demanding that they
should be shot as traitors. 1t is further
reported that they will be tried directly

Der 4th, says the Provisional Government
seems to be playing double game. They
assured the citizens that the Government
would consent to no peace involv n, ces-
sion Of territory. Theirs assured Bismarck
that every member of the Government was
convinced that the Constituent Assembly
would make peace on the basis Of the sur
render of tho Rhine Provinces and tho
payment of indemnity, and they would not
oppose such settlement by scmiarmis.
tce proposed by Prussia to France,
through Burnside and Forbes. No cessa.
ton of hostilites was contemplated, except
for forty-eight hours, during the entire
armisticc was to take place to enable tn en-
to 30 and return. No revictualling of
Paris was to DO allowed, Bismarck insist
ing that tho situation should remain en-
tirely unchanged during the arn,istice.
If the French should make sortic, or
drive the Prussians back, they, wore at
liberty to do so. If the Prussians could
draw their lines closer, or take fort, they
would have the same privilege. Another
condition was made that Alsace and Lot
raine should not be allowed to vote. Bis.
marck's argument was that o cession of
these Provinces was point in the contro-
versy. If the Prussians desired it, they
could, by the use Of force, secure the, entire
delegation in both Provinces favorable to
annexation to Prussia. They would not
do that, but should the delegation be
elected, they would be accused Of having
used Inducements to secure the result:
and, if the delegation opposed to annexation
were returned, the rest of the representa-.
tives of France would consider that they
had not right to vote for annexation in
the face Of the Representatives ,, Of the
Provinces speaking the language of Alsaec
and Lorraine. Bismarck always declared
that by annexation he meant Mentz, Stras-
burg and the German-sp speaking portion.of
the Provinces. Favre objected to both con-
ditious, and insisted that Paris should DO
revictualed, and that Alsace and Lorraine
should be represented on these points.
Buruside's mission ceased on this new
proposition. M. Theirs is still insisting on
revictualiDg Paris. and other besieged
places There is the best authority for
stating that Bismarck refuses these terms.
He proposes an armistice of twenty-five
days, the military situation to remain the
same, which does not contemplate the re-
victuaiingof faris. t1f arct e>Iv
