HauId Special ...
LONDON, January25,
There is tremendous excitement in this
city at the West End, over the rumored
treaty for the capitnlation Of Paris. Many
doubt the truth Of the report, and this dis.
belief Is increased by the rumor that Favre
is actually on his way to London to attend
the conference. It is said he is expected
in London at 9:15 to-day, THIS Is improb.
able. On lchangc there is eiTervescing ex-
citement. Members are gathered in
groups, eagerly talking, and editions Of pa
pers brought in arc anxiouSly scanned for
everything new, and there is but little do
ing, as the members arc too much agita-
ted. Among the French residents general
satisfaction is expressed. Their opinion
in general is that the news ol the capitu.
lation is well founded, and they accept tho
TACT Of Trochu's resignation as proof. 1t
Is true that the neighborhood most frc.
qucntcd by tho French refugees, Leicester
Square and Soho, present just now sin
gular appearance, every street is filled
with groups Of people wildly gcsticulat-
ing, and further information is eagerly
sought for at the foreign office. AT the
Prusslan Embassy nothing was known Of
the capltulation until halt.past one. {

Jules Favre is here. He proposes the
capltulation of Paris and the garrison
with the honors Of war. The terms are
not deemed admissible. The attack on
st. Denis and the disaster Of the 10th
mainly led to the resolution to ask for
terms. Gen. Trochu IS i'll and Vinoy in
command. The arrangement Of the terms
of surrender will take time, The French
demands arc by far too large"
The Times, in its leader, says that II
Favrc refuses unconditional surrender,
and will not end the whole war on the
German terms, Bismarck, who has In his
possession the full acceptance Of these
terms by the French Emperor and Elm

ground for believing Paris will surrender

There is nothing additional to the spec.
