THE SEAT u WAR !
LONDON, February Ale Progress
newspaper, Of Lyons, publishes a pro-
gramme Of Radical Society Of Paris,
founded by Ballin, Da,e 'duse and Pey-
reuter-. It pronounces for a Republic,
with one Assembly and an Executive,
to be chosen and recalled by the As
sembly !; the suppression of q standing
army, and the substitution therefor Of
a militia, comprising all citizens; the
reduction of the budget and the aboli-
ton of the titles and privileges Of the
nobility. It repudiates forever all
wars for purposes Of conquest, and
concludes with q demand that no ne
gotiations shall be made with the
Prussians while they remain on
French soil.
A Herald cable says: At the last In
terview with Bismarck, Fayre showed
deep feeling, and his spirit was much
broken down during the conversation.
Particularly on the subject Of food In
Paris, Favre was greatly agitated, and
frequently burst into tears. Bismarck
expressed a doubt Of compromising
Gambetta and his associates at Bor-
deaux, who were comparatively ex-
empt from the horrors of war, and
thought they would refuse to yield
their power. Favre replied that the
powers Of Gambetta were only dele
gated to him by the Government for
the national defense, and that his
(F~avre's) authority was not that of
Paris alone but of the whole country.
He did not believe that Gambetta
would claim power to act In opposi-
ton to the Government at Paris. If
he did, his removal would take place
Immediately. Favre stated that Cen
eral Trochu was in an intolcrant state
of sorrow and distress, adding, "Ie
trenblc paur son rie."
The German Engineer Corps are al
ready strengthening their position. 1t
is evidently a precautionary measure
in case at last the hopes Of peace are
disappointed.
Whispers are current of heavy specu-
lations by German traders, In collu-
sion with the Commissary Department,
charged with revictualing the city. 1t
Is said immense stores have been accu-
INFLATED by such harpies and sold to
the Parisians at large profits. This
may be only a camp rumor.
Political rumors frominside of Paris
are scarce. There Is reason to believe
that a large majority of the people OF
Paris and throughout the country
will elect representatives in favor of
peace.
The terms of the armistlce have
been accepted by all the Departments
of France except one, the Bouches-du-
Rhone.
At Marseilles the elections will be
proceeded with.
Favre has appealed to the Emperor
of Germany for pity on Paris, confess
ing that he had overstated the amount
of provisions by several days. The
Emperor sent in six millions Of ra-
lions In compliance with the request,
and also fifteen thousand head of cattle.
An inspection Of Valerien shows
that the casemates were not bomb
proof, and could not have afforded any
kind of shelter to the men If the Prus-
slams had opened with n heavy fire on
the fort.
LONDON, February 1.-The entrance
Of Bourbaki's army into Switzerland
has. been effected in accordance with
the convention between General Clin-
chart and Herzog.
Aspecial dispatchto the Times, dated
at Versailles, says Bismarck Is indls-
posed, and was visited yesterday BY the
Emperor.
LILLE, February 2.-The Echo da
Nord is In favor of peace. 1t calls the
appeals for resistance made by the
municipality of Bordeaux encroach-
ments upon the powers of a Constitu-
ent Assembly.
Meetings are being called. in the
Northern Departments to nominate
candidates for the Assembly.
LONDON, February "A Herald
cable says: The Times comments on
General Buffers resolution welcoming
the Irish exiles as an unprecedented
proceeding. If serious, 1t can only be
treated as an act of hostility. It can
not regard It as more than a part Of
a discredltable game pursued by un-
scrupulous politicians, who r doing
their best to reduce the character Of the
American representative government,
and anxious to secure the Irish vote.
