FRANCE.
LONDON, March 8.
Certain diplomatic correspondence i:
published, which shows the part taken by
England in negotiations for peace at Yer
ssil1es. Due de Brogly, who arrived in
London on the Gath ult., addressed note
to the Foreign Office complaining of the
indifference exhibited by England toward
France and asking the Earl Granville to
obtain prolongation of the srmistice, and
reduction of indemnity from the onerous
amount of six milliards of francs. Earl
Granville declined to interfere as to the
armistice, but telegraphed on the same
day to Versailles, representing that it was
impossible for France to pay SO great a
sum as six milliards of francs. Odo Rus
sell writes that he received the dispatch
too late to admit of his interposition in
the negotiations, but expresses the belief
that Bismarck received duplicate of the
dispatch before the indemnity was finally
settled at FIVE milliard franco.
