German PariiHment-Questien of Annexa-

German ParffHment-Question of Annexa-
tion of AIsace and Lorraine.
BERLIN, May 2-In the German Parlia-
ment the question of the annexation of
Alsace and Lorraine with the empire came
before the house. Bismarck restricted the
arguments upon which the measure was
based. The annexation of these provinces
to Germany was necessary to give her a
bulwark against the occurrences of French
aggression, cases of which had been so fre-
queHt IN times past. One instance of COM
paratively recent date was cited.
On the sixth of August, 1866, France sent
to Berlin an ultimatum. The cession of
Mayence and the illness of the emperor
alone prevented hostility then. During
the late war the foreign powers pro.
posed the naturalization of Alsaee and Lor-
raine, but that would be insufficient for
Germany. If the inhabitants are still averse
to the fatherland, said the prince in con-
cluslon, we shall strive to win them back
The bill was referred to committee
BERLIN, May 2.-The Prussian Cross Ga
sette denies that the negotiati. ms for the
treaty of peace for France are to be trans
ferred from Brussels to Berlin.
The North German Gazette saws the Ger
man plenipOtentiaries at Brussels have pro-
posed the payment of the five milIiards by
France in quarterly installments, beginning
june 3, 1871, and ending March 2, 1874.
The payment to be made in gold, or its
equivalent in paper. The French enyoys
have offered to pay the first million in
cash, and the remainder in rentes, con-
yertible at a later period. Fortunately the
German armies hold possession of sufficient
territory in France to secure the payment
OF the Indemnity, in accordance with the
preliminary terms of peace, should no other
agreement be arrived at.
