special telegram to the Tribune says:
Sat Meaux, on the 18th irstant, King Will
liam and Bismarck had an interview, during
which asked King William if there was any
truth in the report that there were English
representatives here. He answered: The
English have asked me If we will treat with
Favre, and replied that we would # his gov
ernment would guarantee to us the possession
of Metz and Strasbourg. This he could not DO.
In this war we are Influenced, said Bis
marck, by no motive OF agggrandizement what
ever. We have no purpose in view but our
own security. Consequently we must provide
for the next war. which is sure to come.
France is now without allies, but may sCoil
succeed in procuring them, and it is sure to
commence another war under better auspices.
That is why we demand these fortresses, but
the present government in Paris dare not
AGREE to the cession of French territory, nor
propably will the next government But our
purpose is fixed, and, if necessary. we are
ready TO stay all winter at Paris.

France is too much weakened to begin another
war for many years.
That is not the case, said Bismarck. France
is very wealthy country, and will remain SO
after the war. Within FIVE years she will have
so recovered as to be able to recommence
hostities. For that reason We must have the
fortresses; but as the Government at Paris is
not disposed to deliver them up, and probably
have no command over them, peace Is not very
near, and we must walt until we can reduce
them. We hear that the garrisons are already
eating their horses.
Then the question of peace, said. reduces
itself to one tof the possession OF Metz and
Strasbourg?
He answered, Yes, that is it, precisely.

French Reports.
TOURS, September &C.
Several engagements have occurred in the
open country, between Paris and Blois, with
no serious results, however.
The government here denies the statement
OF the Berlin correspondent OF the London
Times that Bazaine had made proposals Tor
surrender. The garrison has been reinforced
and received o large number of mltrailleurs.
The place is now fully prepared to resist an
attack.
great many of the projects are organizing
for general uprising of the people.
Several of the journals here dwell upon the
tact that the government allows disorders to
continue like those at Lyons. General Cheseret
Is there now, and his influence is said to be
pernicious, his purpose seemingly being to eN-
cite serious disturbances
