FRANCE. A Hitch in the Negotiations with Germany. THE NEW PLAN OP FORTIFICATIONS. President Thiers’ Distrust of the Government of Mexico. TELEGRAMS TO THE MEW YORK HERALD. ‘VERSAILLES, Sept. 20, 1871. ‘err Von Arnim was slightly indisposed yester- day, and the negotiations for the formation of a final treaty of peace with Germany were for the time being suspended. These qesouations include the putting into effect of the Customs Treaty recently negotiated and the evacuation of the greater Portion of French territory held by the Ger- mans ag security for the indemnity. Notwith standing the temporary suspension of the negotla- tions, it was hoped that an understanding would be effected upon the original basis, and be mutually agreed to. Matters to-day, however, appear in a somewhat ‘worse aspect. It is announced that the modifications of the convention proposed by France are of so serious @ character that Herr Von Arnim has re- ferred the whole subject to the government at Berlin. The exchange of ratitications of the treaty is therefore delayed. No permanent difficulty ts ‘apprehended, and the eventual arrangement of all questions at issue be- tween the representatives of the two countries is regarded as a certainty.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 20, 1871, Carl dchurz made his promised speech at the Au immense audience at- tended, representing all parties and all sections of Tennessee. His arrival in the hall was greeted with loud applause, He began by stating that, notwith- standing captious remarks which have been made relative to his accepting an invitation from proml- nentmen who had been rebels, he was happy to Meet all steadfast Union men, and equaliy happy to stretch out his hand to all men who had stood against the government during the war, but are now ready to work for the restoration of unt- versal peace, harmony, friendship and true brother- hood. He thanked the Untonists, Confederates, republicans, democrats, natives and adopted citt- zens, White and black, for the friendly welcome ex- tended him. He had no seliish aspirations, His audience had nothing to give him, He had attained the highest politica! post- tuon attainable by a foreign born citizen under | the constitution. He would utter the natural con- victions of his mind, without fear aud impartially, Proceeding to discuss the present condition of public affairs, he said a general amnesty should no louger be postpored. It woyld tend to disarm the feeling of altenation caused in the South by the results of the war. A just, geucrous and concilia- tory policy snould be adopted. It was necessary to returp without delay to the sound practices of con- sittuttonal government, Local self-government should be restored to the freedom whica belonged to it, Great abuses had grown up in the civil ser. Vice, and must ve corrected. Our system of tmport duties needed cha ige. The taxes must be reduced, a retarn to specie payments must be made, corrup- tion in high places be rebuked, the influence of cor. porations of tremendous Rewer guarded against and donations of the public lands stopped, hhese Were, he sata, problems to be sotved, and his views Were shared by witlions of liberal republicans North. Some o: them were of special interest to the South, He impreased upon the audience the importance of the attitude of the South mn laboring for re/orms, So long as disorders prevail the North would not yleid to its Mberal and progressive impuises. He said the war was vot caused by the antagonism be- tween slavery aud free labor, but slavery brought on the rebellion and caused its defeat; it isolated the South from the world, Irance and Hngland dared not interfere against free labor, The South | should profit by the result of the struggle; its cause was hopelessly lost and can never be re- vived. ile relerred =o the chango of South and the ~ necessity of the social and political | organization, based on the principle = af egualty.

He asked if tna South, placed in the posti- | tton of. the North, would have done less, He was emphatic tn his disapprobation of the policy of the present administration and in his frequent ex- Wrecineees of appreiensions of the result to our repub- tan institutions (o follow its perpetuation in power, the only deliverance from which he considered to be through the co-operation ot the slacere patriots Oi all parties in political organization, Which would | jasure the abolition of sectional bitterness trom na- tional politics.
