The London Times has the follow
ing special dispatch, dated Versailles,
Jan. "a Jules Favre is here. He pro
poses the c~apitulation of the soldiers
and garrison with the honors of war.
The terms are not deemed admissible.
The attack on st. Denis and h disaster
of the 10Th mainly led to the resolution
to ask for terms. The arrangement of
the terms of surrender will take time.
The French demands are by far too
large. The Times, in a leader, says that
if Favre refuses unconditional surren-
der, and will not end the whole war on
Germany. Bismarck, who has in his pos
session the full acceptance of those
terms by the French Emperor and En-
press, Will threaten to restore Napoleon.
The warmest friends of France in
America and Europe admit her cause to
be hopeless that further resistance is. a
crime against humanity; that she has
done all a great and brave nation can
do, and secured by her gallant resis-
lance the sympathy and admiration
even of her enimies. Laboulaye, the
eminent author, writes here hat there
is no ill will against Germany, but that she
hates and opposes Prussian depotism.
When France has fallen, England will
feel that she is nothing on the CONT
nent. Italy and Austria will be slaves,
and European civilization will suffer a
greater eclipse than under the First
Napoleon.
"A special to the N. Y. Herald, dated
Jan. 21st, says "Last night at IL
o'clock a general summons to arms was
sounded in turbulent quarters, but so
depressed was the miserable population
that not more than 500 men responded
to the call. 1t was useless for such q
gathering to make a descent On the
Hotel de Vile, so they gave up the job
in despair and betook themselves to
their cold and cherries beds. To-day,
the Project of the Police, with a strong
body of the National Guard, was at the
Hotel de Vile, and caused the adjacent
streets to bristle with bayonets. The
unhappy citizens of Paris are too much
wasted by misery to be able to incite
revolution, although it is probable
that some trouble will occur in the
streets" EFIJ4 ~ =

the surrender should be signed by the
whole Provisional Government. M.
Favre replied that it would be impossi-

Bismarck then said if the Republic rer
jects the terms and the Empire accepts,
you must choose between the acceptance
and the restoration of the Empire. M.
Favre has departed for London.
