DETAILS.
OG the morning Of January 23i, q
flag of truce left the French lines and
was met by the Germans. The bearer
delivered letter from Jules Favre
addressed to Count Bismarck. At
noon The missive reached Versailles,
and was placed in the hands Of Bis
marck. 1t requested permission for
Favre to come to Versailles. Bis
marck replied that he might do 50 |
ten O'Clock the same night.
This was told to Jules Favre, who |
returned to Paris at half-past four |
o'clock the same evening. AS he was
being driven in his carriage down |
the avenue leading to the Sevres |
road, Bismarck, who was taking his /
daily ride, de,encountered him, he turned |
his horses head and rode by the win
dow, conversing with Favre all the
way to town.
The Prussian Premier applied to
the Emperor of Germany for permis-
sion to hold an interview with him.
Jules Favre spent the night at Qnar-
tiers st. Felice. The next day, before
noon, January "A, a council of war
was heldand considered Favre's mis-
sion, General Won Room, Count Bis
marck, General Won MOltke and the
Crown Prince Of Prussia were present,
in addition to the Emperor William,
who presided over the council.
The council lasted two hours and
the result Of its deliberations were,
it is understood, that Favre asked
that the army Of Paris be allowed to
march out with full hOnors and take
up position in some UnOccupied dis
trict in France under his manage
ment and not resume hostilities for a
term Of months, to be agreed upon,
and that there should be no triumph
ant entry into Paris by the Germans.
These terms were refused by the
council, which informed Favre that
the only basis Of surrender would be
the same as that Of Sedan and Metz.
