BORDEAUX, Feb. I.-Itis believed that
the first national assembly, when it con-
venes at Bordeaux, will be in nomina-
| ton for President of the Council ofmin-
listers forming the government. NJ. Fa-

in dispatch sent yesterday in reply to

immediate execution of the armistice
but can not order an election for the

plantations, and without knowing the

expected to be at Berlin Wednesday.

forbidden to carry mere travellers who
are excluded from the city, unless they
are provided with O special pass from
the German authorities, while no per-
sons are allowed to leave Paris. French

forts to supply the city with breadftuffs
and have now in hand sufficient to
last until Saturday. The supplies here
will hold out until the 10th of February.
Great quantities of food have been ship
ped from Belgium to Paris.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The Geographic re-
port that Emperor William is about to

fore the conclusion of the definite treaty
peace.

4th of September, 1870. Jules Favre
has arrived here.
In his last interview with Bismarck,
Favre showed deep feeling. His spirits
were much broken down. During the
particularly on the SUBJ
ject of food for Paris, Favre was greatly
agitated, and frequently burst into
tears. Bismarck expressed his doubts
as to the course of Gambetta and asso-
ciates at Bordeaux, who were compare
lively exempt from the horrors of war,
and thought probably they would re-
fuse to yield their power. Favre replied
that the powers of Gambetta were only
delegated here by the Government for
national defense, and that his, Favre's
was not that of Paris alone,
but of the whole country. He did not
believe Gambetta would claim the pow
er to act in opposition to the Govern
ment at Paris. If he did, his removal
would take place Immediately. -Favre
stated that mnch suffering and distress
existed in Paris.
The German Engineer corps is already
at work strengthening positions. 1t is
evidently precautionary measure, in
case at last the hopes for peace may be
