Tours, Sept. 7.—Jales re to-day made an oficial report of his m'ssion to the Prussian heacquerters in behalf of peace. He says: A gteat many different : lutions of the d Mivaltie: had been proposed and rejected, and he de- tarmined at last to make adirect move. There- fore, on the lish of September, he demanded of Gismerck a categorical reply as to whether he would enter upon negotiaciors for peace. Bis. merck’s first answer was unfavorab!e, though he subsequently asked what guarantees France could offer. The .o-eign minister, who was act. ing as intermediary, adviesd Favre to sve Bis- marck and make his demandsin person. Ac- cordin, uy. Favre saw Bismarck, and expressed to him h love of France and Liberty, and his determination to accept no conditions which would render peace only a menacing truce. Bismarck replied that if he deemed p2ace possible he would sign immedia‘ciy, but the ac u I government was too precarious,and likely to be overthrown. France would not be any more apt 1) forget Sedan than she had been to forget Water'oo and Sadowa. She would toon attack Germany again. Beinz ge for conditions, Favre was explicit. ut Bismarck asserted that the securiiy of his country demanded the retention of part of the territory the Germans now occupied, and mentioned in that cornection the dep2rtmen's of the Upper Rhine, Lower Khine and Moselle, with Metz, Chateau Saluris and Solssons. To the objection of Favre that the: people of France would not agree to that, and that he could not act without her sanction, Bismarck replied that he felt contident of that before, but a3 an- other war was certain he wished to make it with all the advantages possible. Favre then inti- mated that Evrope might find the pretersions of Prussia exorbitant. He was certain that France would never accept them. She might erish as a nation, but she would not be dis- Ecnored. The country alone could determine upon the question of territorial cession, and Favre could not doubt what that decision would be. Bismarck would not listen to any proposi- tion for an armistice. A second interview occurred at Ferrieres on the 19th of September. On this occasion Bis- marck seemed to accept the idea of an armis- tice, and Favre asked for tifteen days. The next day Bismarck handed Favre his conditions, adding that the Germans must have the forts commanding Paris, more especially Fort Du- Valerien, on ‘the western border. Fayre replied that it would be more stmple to demand Paris at once. Bismarck said if these terms were not satisfactory, the French must seek otber arrangements. Favre proreees @ meeting of the Constituent Assembly at Tours. Bis- marck made a condition that the garrison of Strasburg should surrender as prisoners of war. Unon Favre odorants refusing, Bismarck consulted the King, who insisted upon the sur- render of Strasburg. Wearied with his efforts, Favre retired, expressing his con that France would tight to the last. Favre con- cludes, from the mauner in which all his efforts for peace have been met by the Germans, tuat they are determined upon conquest. He says that the interviews were not altogether useless, as they have proved that, notwithstanding Prursia has declared she warred only against Napoleon and his army, she is really fighting the nation, which must arise en masse, either to disavow the Provisional government or resist the enemy to the last. BERLIN, Sept. 27.—A diepatch from the King’s healquarters, at Ferrieres, near Paris, says re, in his report of b'sinterview with Count Bismarck, errs in omitting to state that the quesuon of an armisi.ce was considered prelim- inary to any discussion of territorial cessions. Birmarck actaally declined to state the claims ot Pre sia until the boss of an armisvice wag decided on. MENT OF FRIDAY. p (Special to the New York World.)—A special at Kowen sends tc day the particulars of the action reported yesterday a from Pont ise, by way of Beanvais.” It w: much more imporcant engagement than tirst ac counts led us t> believe, and resulted in th complete defeat of che Germars The action Was 1ought on the line of the Orleans railway, beyord Ep'nay Stacon, about sixteen miles from Paris.

The attack began at6 a.m Tbe French forces, mainly Garde Mobiles, wiba battalion of the line, had sixteen mi- traillerta in position.

There the Germans attempted to make a stand and « new formation, but the epch artillery, which had been quickly brought up by the croes-roads of the councy, here opened fire upon them again with more efieet than before. The retreat was converted into a rout, the German troops flying im ali di- rections, throwing away their arms, The French captured a}! their artillery, a battery of steel cannon, with two .egimental standards, and between 600 and 700 men, who surrendered in a body. and were despatched next day to Char- crea,” Among the priconers are two colonels of the Prussian line, and a number of Saxon offi. cers. News of this victory created great re- Joicing at Tours and Rouen. The French troops engaged belonged to the Army of the Loire. SOUTH GERMAN CONSOLIDATION.

Loxnon, Sept. 23.—AN the democra:ic papers in France, which were suppressed under the Empire, have r’ -umed publication. The mob at Nant-s removed the statue of Billault from the principal sqaare of the city a few days ago; but instead of tearing it down and smathing it, they packed it up and considerately sent it to bie family. The people residing in the suburbs of Par's have returned to their houses, whence they had been driven by the lawlessness of the Mobiles. ‘The Times of this moiping says: ‘France may be serious and heroic in refusing t> cede her territory to Germany, but it is rather incorsist- ent with her constant avidity in seizing the ter- ritoiy of otters.” The region around Paris for i venty k'lome- tres frora the walls is depopulated and devasts- ted.
