TELEGRAM TO THE NEW Yoak HERALD.

ltLtIhAm W INT heW Iutk hthSlD.
LONDON, Feb. 10, 1871.
have just been informed, on very excellent
authority, and proceed to transmit the intelli-
gence by special cable telegram to the HERALD
that it is expected that a very considerable
amount of angry feeling will be evoked in
diplomatic and governmental circles in Eng
land, by the reception of an official announce
ment from Berlin of the refusal Of the Prussian
government to receive, in its executive capa-
city and formally, the latest circular addressed
by Earl Granville, her Majesty's Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, to the Cabinet of the
Emperor William, urging the conclusion of
peace between France and Prussia.
THE QUEENS PLEA FOR PEACE.
The British circular, which was addressed to
the Right Honorable Lord Lotus, Queen
Victoria's Ambassador in Berlin and copy
forwarded to Mr.. Odo Russell at Versailles,
bears date the Goth of January.
In this circular Earl Granville recapitulates
in the first instance, the position of France, and
sets forth the ''unwillingness which her
advice which, from it's very nature, and the
existence Of the present surrounding facts,
must necessarily be dscouraging to people
(the French) engaged In the defence of their
national territory and who are the best judges
of what their own interest and honor re-
qure."
Earl Granville continues to say:--stNo such
consideration as that indicated above applies
to the matter Of frank communication on the
part Of her Majesty's Ministers with the gov
ernment of Germany, which government, in
the amplitude Of its power and the enjoyment
of full tide of victory, cannot fear the
prevalence of any misconstruction of its own
motives in endeavoring to bring to termina-
tion the miseries of great war.
Up 10 this time no distinct intimation has
been given in London of the actual demands
of Germany for peace. Her Majestys gov
ernment would not assume to offer a sugges-
tion Of the actual terms of settlement between
the belliger ents. The Queens Ministers believe
that an explicit declaration of the views which
are entertained by the imperial government of
Germany on that subject would hasten the
approach Of the period of an actual cessation
of the horrors of the war, and thus put stop
to the losses which are endured by both
parties, even by the victorious armies of the
Emperor William in France.
BISMARCK REFUSES TO RECEIVE THE PAPERS
OFFICIALLY.
When Earl Granville's circular was officially
read by Lord LOTUS, at the moment of its de-
livery, in Berlin, Premier Count Bismarck in
both cases-that of Lotus copy and of Odo
RusselFs coming from Versailles-met the
offer Of its presentation for record by an
official refusal to receive it.
NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE PERMITTED.
This refusal was accompanied on the part
OF the Prussian statesman by the declaration
Of an announcement couched in words of
rather vague import, but to the effect that
Germany positively refuses to allow any inter
ference on the part Of the other Powers with
regard to the question of peace or continu-
ance OF the war between Germany and France
as this matter must be settled by the Emperor
with France alone"
PRussIAN INTRIGUE ON THE ITALIAN BORDER
have 20 assure you also that it is known in
London that an active intrigue is proceeding
from Berlin having for its object the neutrali
cation Of Savoy in the event of the war taking
new direction.
TIE MUgMJR OF REVOLUTION SOUTH.
Mr.. Odo Russell has forwarded adyices TO
the British government from Versailles, in
which he assures the Queens Ministers that
the conclusion Of peace between France and
Prussia is absolutely certain, but that "the
early inception of a revolutionary warlike
movement in the south of Europe is highly
probable"
