EfSAlIsAS, Jdll. -Os---AS ldCiS cOIl-
corning negotiations develop, better
feeling is evident among both French
and Germans, and all begin tn agree,
hoping for a termination of the war.
The French are especially well pleased
at the apparent modification of tho
German desire to humiliaUe Paris by 4
triumphal entry into the capital.
The negotiations between Bismarck
and Favre from one of the most inter
esting chapters in the history of this
| memorable war. The arrival of Favre
was known to none, except those I'M
mediately admitted into the presence
of the Chancellor.
After II few preliminary remarks,
Bismarck said. We'll, Monster Favrc
what's the object of this VISIT" Favre,
much affected, replied, "The object is
to put a stop to the terrible suffering
of the country, for now that all hope
of relief from without seems to he.lost,
Paris must needs seek peace. All We
ask is such consideration as IA genel l.
Gus enemy might give without the
loss of advantage or honor"
bismarck expressed Il desire t0 do
all ia his power To show his respect for
the suffering country and the French
nation, consistent with the safety, hon
o and interest of United GcrmauV-
He said that this had been, from first
To last. the object and desire of the
Emperor and al! his advisers.
Favre first demanded the terms al
ready reported.
bismarck replied; 1t is not my
province 10 refuse to accept the terms,
nut must say the present proporals
are such that | ,annot myself approve
them, and feel confident that my au-
gust master will reject them. ilowev-
er it is my duty TO submit them TO his
consideration
Favre was politely but strictly pla-
ccd under surveillance, and occupied
an apartment over the Police Bureau
As is already known the first over
lures were promptly rejected.
After Favrc's return with the acccp-
tance of the terms in substance de-
manded 10y the Emperor, great excite
mcnt prevailed at Versailles.
The Mayor went twice to the police
headquarters TO CndCaVOr TO obtain an
interview, hut received Il pcremtOry
order not to repeat the attempt, IA
such an act would render him liable TO
imprisonment.
An interview again took place be-
tween Bismarck and Favre. The for
mer afterwards waited OH the King
and Council, when Favre's acceptance
on the part of the Provisional Govern
mcnt, WAS submitted.
After Bismarck left the Emperor he
walked into the Office of his chief aid,
Gen. LemdOrff, and began to whistle
Prussian air which the trumpeter
sounds at the hOar-hunt when the
beast is down and settled. After con-
Guiding the tune he walked out again,
never having spoken IL single word to
any one present.
Next morning the terms drawn up
over night between Bismarck and Fa-
vre were handed to the Emperor, who
opened the papers, read, frowned, and
observed in disturbed tone; encore
trop de balivereusn There is good
reason to believe that the Emperor IL
bothered by the tricks of politicians,
but he will be well pleased after all Is
over.
MoLTIIE AND TIE GROWN PRINCE.
\ rumor is current that Moltke is

the Crown Princes army on the occa-
sion of the sortie on the 10th inst. He
thinks that ground was lost unneces-
sarily, and expressed his opinion open
ly. There is growing coldness in con-
sequence betwe5n the Crown Prince
and the commandcr-in-ch
WHAT WILL COME OF 1T.
The great question now seems to be,
what practical result will follow the
armisticc. | venture to predict, on
what | consider good grounds, that
the regency is Bismarck's thirteenth
trick, by which he expects to welcome
in Fuvre and the Republicans. He
sees nothing but seeds of future troub-
le with France.
