THE LATTER.
Herald special
PARIS, February In his last In
tervieW with Bismarck, Favre showed
deep feeling. his spirits were much
broken down during the conversation,
particularly on the subject of food for
Paris. Favre, greatly agitated, fre-
qUently burst into tears. Bismarck
expressed doubt as to the course Of
Gambetta and associates at Bordeaux,
who were comparatively exempt from
the horrors Of war, and thought prOba-
bly, they would refuse to yield their
power. Favre replied that the pow
ers Of Gambetta were only delegated
him by the government of national
defense, and his (Favre's) authority,
not that of Paris alone, but of the
country. He did not believe Gambetta
would claim the power to act in OppO-
sitiOn to the government at Paris; ifI
he did, his removal would take place
Immediately. Favre stated that
TrOchu was in an intOlerable state OF
sorrow and distress, adding, "ye tFenl-
6le pour SG Uie."
