POSED TERMS OF SURRENDER.
LONDON, Wednesday Jan. 49, 1871.
Tie T.mcS's special telegram from Versailles,
dated yesterday, says
jules Fayre is now here with proposals for
q capitulaton. He proposes that the garrison
shall leave Paris with all the honols of war,
but this is quite inadmiJsable.
TIE attack On st. Denis and the defeat of
the 18th mainly led to the asking of terms.
Gen. Trochu is i'll, and Gen. Ymoy commands.
Fay1e has seen Bismarck. The arrangement
of terms viii take tune. The French demands
ere by far too large.
The Times, in a leader, says that if Favre
refuses an unconditional surrender and VIII
not end the whole war on German terms,
Bismarck, who has in his possession
the full acceptance of those terms by the
French Emperor and Empress, viii threaten to
restore Napoleon.
