Circular of Mr. Von Thile., September 26, 1870.

Circular of Mr. Von Thile.

Since the French authorities have declined an armistice, and made Paris the theater of war, and since there is no recognized government in Paris, and the de facto government, as we learn, has been removed to Tours, the undersigned has the honor, most respectfully, to notify you that safety of communication with Paris exists only according to military events.

The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to renew to Mr.——— the assurance of his most distinguished consideration.

THILE.
