Foreign Intelligence.

N@G1
The London Daily Mws Of the 9th
says that Jules Favre, the new French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, had made
peace propositions to Prussia, the basis OF
which was the withdrawal of the Ger
mans from the territory of France,
France would give a guaranty that the
standing army should be abolished. 1t
was also stated that Jules Favre had gone
forward to meet King William.
Paris was quiet on the 9th. The Repub-
lie had been proclaimed in all the princi-
pal towns and cities of France. A decree
had been issued requiring the withdrawal
of all Germans from Paris. The vote on
the deposition Of the Imperial dynasty in
the Corps Legislatif was carried by 1856
out of 200 votes.
The international Workingmen's Asso'
citation of Paris issued an address on the
9Th, stating that the Prussian Govern
ment, at the outset Of the contest, had de-
.clared that it wsged war against the EN-
peror, and not against the people OF
France, and calling On Germany, in the
name of justice, to withdraw her armies
from French soil, or France must fight to
the last man. The address says: GAS
soon as the Rhine ia crossed we shall
stretch forth our hands to you and forget
our mutual crimes which despots made us
commit"
A Paris telegram Of the 9th says.
"From all parts Of France news comes
of enthusiastic adhesion to the Republic.
People are arming and volunteers hasten.
ing to Paris, where a large force is already
assembled"
A dispatch from Point-a-Mcusson on
the 9Th says negotiations for the capitu-
lation Of Metz were in progress. There
was great suffering on the part of the
French troops for want Of food and med
ical stores.
A Berlin telegram Of the 7th says:
1.-THE Russian Government Ia about to
propose q congress of the great powers.
Prussia will certainly decline"
According to the St. Petersburg Jour
nal Of the 7th the Gar Of Russia "shares
every effort to localize and abridgc the
war, but Intellectually, as Prussia repela
any Intervention at all restraining its free
dom Of action"
A London special Of the 7th to the
New York Herald says: "The English
Government, in conjunction with other
neutral powers, Is about to make an ear
nest appeal to Prussia to conclude peace
on the basis of the following propositions:
French territory to be held inviolatc ;
France to pay Germany the expenses Of
the war; q general disarmament OF
France ; the destruction Of all the forts
in Alssce and Lorraine. It is believed
that these terms will be acceptable to the
Republic"
In an interview with Jules Favre, on
the 7th, Minister Washburne announced
that the United States had recognized the
Republic of France. Dispatches were
also received on the 9Th, announcing that
the governments Of England and Austria
had formally recognized the Republic.

zens, carrying French and American flags,

HARD TIMES IN UTAH.

From tie Salt Lake News, Hay rs.
From present prospects, We may look
for a continuance of tight times in this
country. There never was period in
the history Of this Territory when bust
ness men experienced such Difficult , in
getting along as they do at present; and
the laboring man finds it equally hard.
Work is scarce, money and other good
pay is much more scarce. There ap-
pears to be general slackness OF stag
nation in business east, west, north
and south in other States and Territories
as well Is this. The dull tunes are not
altogether owing to the scarcity of grain
and other produce in tho country on
which to live, for Of these there are
plenty yet-but rather to the general
inclination which prevails to take in
sails. Circumstances evidently are
shaping in such manner as to compel
us to board and 'clothe ourselves; and
instead Of importing everything, raise
something to export, or at least supply
our own demand.

THE sort WAYNE ROUTE TO NEW

A fact worth knowing to those tray
cling East by the Fort Wayne l. Penn
sylvania Railroad is that the quick
time is not made by unusual high rate
Of speed, but by long continuous runs
without stopping. We think tho long,
est run in the United States by any
road, without stopping to wood and
water, is that of the Penusylvania Rail-
road, from Altoona to Harrisburg 131
miles. The train leaving Chicago At
II a. m, reaches New York the next
afternoon in time to meet and dine

UPPER mlss1ss1PP1 SURVEYS.

A special Washington dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune gives the following H.
teresting information:
The War Department to-day sent to
the House reports from General Warren
and his assistants relative to the progress
Of the surveys on the Upper Mississippi.
They think it is practicable to extend
= canal through from Sand Lake to the
St. Louis River, thence from slack-wa-
ter navigation down the St. Louis, to the
navigable waters below the rapids,
thence connecting the navigable waters
Of the Upper Mississippi with Lake
Superior. From Sand Lake. to, the
rapids of the St. Louis is about. fifty
miles. 1t is also thought that a canal
could be constructed to connect the
large lakes at the source of the Missis-
sippi River with the Red River of the
North. 1t is recommended that the
surveys be continued, so as to definitely
determine the feasibility of these pro-
jects, and the cost of making the pro-
posed canals, If practica bic.
