Jules Favre has made an official report to the Gov- ‘orement of nis mission to the Prussian headguar- tors, and explained what terms were offered and why they were rejected. Tae following despatch trom the Prefect of the Department of Loiret, dated Orleans to-day, has just heen received by the Minis- tor of War: The Generals here, seoive they cannot renist the overwhelming force of the enemy co: manded by Prince Albert, have just evacuated Or- Jeans in good order. ‘The removal of the Governmental Delegation from Tours to ® point further south is imminent, At « meeting of the Council to-day the most energetic measures were resolved apon for the national de- fence.

Tons, Sept. 27.—Jules Favre to-day made an official revort to the Gevernment here of his mission to the Prustian headquerters in behalf of peace, He says that great many solutions of the dificul- \ies had been proposed and rejected, and he de termined at last to make direct move, Therefore, onthe 10th of September, ie demanded of Count Yon Bisuarck a categorical reply as to whether he would enter upon negotiations for peace, Count von Bismarck's first answer was unfarora- ble, though he subsequently asked what guarantes France could offer. The Foreign Minister, who was acting 8 intermediary, advised M. Favre to sce Count von Bismarck aod make bis demands in per- son, Accordingly M. Favre saw Count vor Bis- marck, expressed to him his love of France and lib- erty, and his determisation to accept no conditions which would render the peace only s menacing truce, Count von Bismarck replied that if he thought peace were possible he would sign imme- diately. Tae soveaL COvEEENZET was too precarious and likely to be overthrown. France would not be any more apt to forget Sedan than sie had been to forget Warterloo and Sadows. She would soom attack Germany again, Being pressed for conditions, M. Fayre was explicit, but Count von Bismarck asserted that the security of onntry demanded the retention of part of the territory the Germans now occupied, and mentioned in that connection the departments of Upper Rhine, Lower kbine, and Moselle, with Metz, Chateau, Sal mis, and Soissons, To the objection of M. Favr that the people of France would tot agree to that, and that be could not act without their sanction, Count von Bismarck replied that he felt confident of that before, but a8 another war was certain, he wished to make {t with all the advantages possib! M. Favre then intimated that Europe might find u TENSIONS OF PRUSSIA RXORBITANT. He was certain that France would never accept them, She might perish as a nation, but she would not be dishonored, The country alone could decide on the question of territorial cession, and M. Favre could not doubt what that decision would be, Count von Bismarck would not liste to any proposition for au armistice, The second interview occurred at Ferridres o: the 19th of September, On this occasion Von Bi marck seemed to accept tho idea of an armistice. M. Furre asked for fifteen days. ‘The next day Vou Bismarck banded M. Favre bis conditions, adding that the Germans must have the forts commanding Paris, more especially Fort du Mont Valerien, on the western border. ‘M. Fayre replied that it would be more simple to demand Paris at once, Von Bismarck said if tuese terms were not satisfactory, the FRENCH MUST SERK OTHER ARRANGEMENTS. M. Favre proposed a meeting of the Constituent Assembly at Tours. Von Bismark made a condition that the garrison of Strasbourg should surrender as prisoners of war, Upon M. Favre's indignanuy re- fusing, Count von Bismarck consulted the King, who insisted upon the surronder of Strasbourg, Woaried with uis useless efforts, M, Favre retired, exprosting the conviction that Fiance would fgls to the Inst, M. Fayre concludes from the manner in which all bis efforts for peace have been met by the Germans, that they are determined upon conquest, He says the interviews were not altogether useless, as they bave proved that notwithstanding Prussia declared she warred only against Napoleon and bis army, she is really figuting the nation, and which must arise either to disavow the Provisional Govern F resist the enemy to the last, URUSSTAN R DESPATCHE pends Sicha The Prussians Preparing for an Assault on Siri umes bin Lue A breach broad enough to nt an assault has been mado at Strasbourg, The North German Gazette (omcial journal), of this city, today, eays: “Whatever may be the man plans about France, the restoration of the Bona. partes is not among them.” Capt, Johnston, the bearer of despatches for the British Government, er was recently roughly handled near Paris by the Prus- sians, aud subsequently by the French, under the belief that, being an Englisman, he must be a spy ‘The K glish are unpopular with both armics, The Press, \v repelling the charge that the bombardment of Strasbourg was carried on while the city was crowded with women and children, says Gen,Ubrich, the French commander, persisted in decliving to allow non-combatants to leave, From the New York Evening Free Press, A report is current in this city, in well informed circles, thas THE EMPEROR WAS REVOKED THE DECREE which he issued on the surrender of Sedan, for the revocation of the decree creating the Regency, As the Emperor, he has, therefore, sent an envoy to Metz to consult Marshal Bazaine im rogard to the terms of peace, This confirms the statement made ‘by Bozaino that be should only treat with the Em- peror in reference to peace negotiations. The news Of this attitude of Napoleon haa been suppressed ia Berlin, as far as possible, but enough is known to cause the greatest anxiety in political circles, inas: much as there is # strong and influential party here Who oppose the continuance of the war, ‘The excitement increases over the arrest of Jacoby, and an imposing protest has been sent to Count von Bismarck denouncing the maintenance Of military law now that THE DANGER OF INVASION bes consed. The Nortbern States demand that WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, Vogel von Falkenstein be held responsible for excess of duty. Herbiz, the Prosident of the KOnigeberg meeting, has been seized and im- Prisoned. ‘Tho preliminaries of the consolidation have been submitted to the South German Cabinets, and a acceptable to Wilrtemberg. Bavaria objects to the proposed military arramgemonts in WOrtemberg, and a Minister has cone to Mauich to induce Ba- varia to accopt the terms. A report is current that the Emperor Napoleon, having revoked the order creating the Rogeney, has DRSPATCHED AN RNVOT TO META to comsnit with Basaine respecting terms of poner, and that the envoy was allowed to pass the German and enter Metz. — ENGLISH WAR DESPATORE! Loxnon, Sept. 2%7.—The French still believed on Sunday that it was Fort da Mont Valerion that had been demanded by the Prussians as the condi- tion of peace, notwithstanding the Prussians say it was the clty of Verdun, This accounts for the nn, exampled exeitement which has suddevly been created thronghout France. Marshal Bazaine, repudiating the Repnbtie, ae- mands the orders of the Emperor or Empress to surrender, Count von Bismarck's repudiation of the demand for Fort da Mont Valerien has been promptly met by a reaffirmation of the statement, signed by taree Ministers of the Provisional Gov- ernment.
