right wing OF his army under the command Of
Bourbakb retreated to Bourges from whence IL
uarcncd rapidly eastward for the purpose OF
raising tho siege OF Belfort. At FIRST Bourhakl met
with encouraging success. His forces after sharp
struggle. drove the Germans out OF Dion
and moved upon villersexel. where severe
engagement was fought on the 10th OF January
resulting in the defeat OF tho Germans under
Won Werder. The Germans retrcated to their fortified
positions south OF Belrort, pursued by Bourbald,
who attacked them ON the 10Th, 10th ana 18th Of
January but failed to carry their lines. After these
three days of sanguinary battle Bourbaki aban-
doned the attempt to reach Belfort. Leaving the
fortress to It's fate he endeavored to retreat to
Duon but was cut or by Manteunel's forces and
his army was finally compelled to seek safety In
Switzerland.
The failure to succor them dlsheartened the gar ]
rlson OF Belfort, but the men continued to offer q
vigorous resistance to the Germans II was evident
however, that the capitulation of the fortress was
merely question of time, as subsequent to the sign
ing OF the Armistlce Convention the Germans cap
tured several OF the detached forts and advanced
their parallels close up to the walls.
The fall OF Belfort leaves the Germans In complete
possession OF all the fortified points In Asace and
Lorraine.

LONDON, Feb. Is, 1871.
A despatch from Brussels for the NEW York
HERALD states that it is reported in diplomatic
circles that Germany has refused the request
of the British government to communicate
the conditions upon which it is willing to make
peace.
PRoLoNGATIoN OF THE ARMISTIoE.
The Berlin special correspondent of the Lon
don Times telegraphs to that journal that in
consequence of the pacific result of the French
elections Count Won Bismarck has conceded
the prolongation of the armistice by week,
on condition that it be made definitivc agree
ment, dependent only on certain military con-
ditions.
WHY THE ARMIsTICE Is PROLONGED.
The Prociasial Correspondence, of Berlin,
saws when the German leaders are satisfied
| that there is a probability Of arriving at an
understanding with France as to the bases on
which peace may be concluded tho armis-
tice will be prolonged to admit Of definite
negotiations for treaty and the transfer Of the
National Assembly from Bordeaux to Paris.
Tn the contrary case the war will be resumed
on the termination Of tho armistlce, and all
necessary preparation has been made to prose-
cute Il enengeiically to the end. But the
| Correspondents feels confident that this eventu-
ali.y will not occur.
THE RLEorroNs AND TILE FUTURE OF FRANCE.
The Kreuz Zcitung, of Berlin, estimates
| that the French elections have resulted In at
least two-thirds vote in favor OF monarchiai
institutions, and says that scarcely one-third
Of the members chosen to the Assembly are

LONDON. Feb. Is. 1871.
The NEW York HERALD correspondent at
Bordeaux sends me the following tlegraphic
despatch, dated to-day
WORK FOR TIE ASSEMBLY.
A settled purpose is manifested by the
Deputies now here Bordeaux3 to accomplish
two things-one is to overthrow the violent
republicans, and the other is the removal of
the seat of government from Paris in order
that the country may be no longer at the mercy
of the mobs of the capital.
PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
From personal conversations with many Of
the members am inclined to believe that
temperate provisional government will be first
formed. NM. Theirs, Grevy, Trochu, Delc-
scluze and Dorian are favorably mentioned, in
connection with some prominent citizens Of
the provinces. That such Ministry will be
placed In power is generally believed. The
duty Of deciding upon the eventual form Of
government for Franco will be entrusted to
them.
TEE RADICALS HARD AT WORK.
The radicals are energetically at work.
They are resolved not to part with power
without struggle, and are making earnest
appeals and violent speeches among the
people, But unmeaning cries for prolon-
CATION Of the war and ssNo surrender" have
evidently lost their force.
oRLEANIsr CHANCES.
The conservatives are very confident of
having things their own way. There is a
strong undercurrent in favor of the Orleanists,
and the election Of an Orleans Prince is
likely to be declared valid.
APPEALS TO THE ARMIES.
NM. Theirs and Favre have made earnest
appeals TO Generals Chanzy and Faidherbe
and the other commanders of the French
forces to appeal to the patriotism Of the SOL
diers to preserve order In France II necessary.
The organization Of the armies viii be kept
up for that purpose.
