CBT <BeRtin, Jan. 26,—The report of the arrival of Favre at Versailles, and that he was received tO-day, created great excitement, although at present it is not officially contirmed. As soon as the news of supposed capitulation was raised abroad, the streets were speedily filled with joy- ful crowds. A great number ef people repaired at once to the palace, in hopes of seeing the | (Queen, and bear from her lips the glad intelli- gence promising the speedy return of peace. They were disappointed in thei? expectation, as no telegram had reached her Majesty. All the public offices were closed, and business was generally suspended, all the employes being anxious to gather the news. The general belief isin well-informed circles that the rumors of | negotiations lecking towards capitulation are true, from the fact that Juies Favre's presence at Verrailles is undoubted; but some believe he may have gone there im hope of obtaining a military pass to the London conference. The fact is officially known here, that only tive days full rations are in Paris from to-day.
