dressed to Count Bismarck. At noon the
missive reached Versailles, and was
placed in the hands of Bismarck. II re-
quested permission for Favre to come to
Versailles. Bismarck replied that he
might. At ten o'clock the same night the
Prussian Premier applied to the Emperor
of Germany for permission to hold an in
terview with him. Favre spent the night
at the quarters of the Lieutenant of Po-
lice. The next day, before noon, Jan.
"a, council of war was held to consider
Favre's mission. Gen. Won Room, Count
Bismarck, Gen. Won Moltke and the
Crown Prince of Prussia were pres
emit in addition to the Emperor
William, who presided. The council lasted
two hours, and the result of the delibera.
lions was communicated to Fayre, who
returned to Paris at half past 4 o'clock
the same evening. As he was bsing driv-
en- in his carriage down the avenue lead
ing to the Sewers road, Bismark, who was
taking his daily ride, encountered him,
turned his horses head, and rode by the
window, conversing with Favre all the
way from the town. 1t is understood
Fayre asked that the army of Paris be
allowed to march out with full honors
and take up position in some unoccu-
pied district of France under his manage
ment, and not resume hostilities for a term
of months to be agreed upon, and that
there would be no triumphant entry into
Paris by the Germans. These terms
were refused by the council, which in
formed Favre that the only basis of sur
render would be the same as that of Sedan
and Metz. 1FEr-

government of 21O members, and the Ma
tional Guard has been chosen for that
purpose.
Three new batteries were opened to-
day between LIE Grand Draucy and LIE

in all in full activity.
1t is reported thst Belfort will yield be-
fore the 29th.
