M. Jules Fevre announces to French agents abroad that "
Prussia " has refused the armistice, in a despatch through which there runs a slight tone of depression. Though energetically exposing the impossibility of accepting an armistice, and denounc- ing Prussia for "seeking to destroy France," M. Fevre indirectly calls on the neutral Powers for aid,—" they will perceive at last what will be reserved for them by Prussia, risen through victory to a position for the accomplishment of her designs,"—and declares that, "up to the last moment, the Government of National Defence will do everything in its power to render an honourable peace possible." In other words, it will accept any terms short of cession of territory, and if they are refused, fight while it can hold out. That does not strike us as very dreamy.
