FRANKFORT, JULY 19.
Yesterday three French Generals and other Officers, appointed to settle the line of the Armistice in the vicinity of this city, came to Offenbach, where they had a conference with as many German Officers, and among others, with an Austrian General and Major Gorgen, of the Electorate of Mentz. Each party had with them an escort of Hussars. The French wished to maintain their position on the Kinz, by Hanau: but to this objections were made by the Germans, and the more, as instructions relative to the armistice had not yet been received from General Kray. General St. Suzanne required of Baron Albini, that the Mentz levy en masse should be disbanded, and that the regular Mentz Militia should retire to Aschaffenburg. This, however, was refused; as was the proposition of the Germans, that the French should retire behind the Nidda. To-day another military conference was held in the neighbourhood of this city. It is believed that the line of the armistice, in our vicinity, will be definitively settled by the Commanders in Chief.
To-day General St. Suzanne came to this city. As soon as the armistice shall be ratified and completely arranged, the Elector of Mentz will return from Wurtzburg to Aschaffenburg. The reigning Prince of Nassau Weilburg will likewise return to Weilburg from Baireuth.

Event Details
An armistice was concluded in the evening about five o'clock, to be ratified by the Emperor, leading to a peace congress in a neighboring Imperial city. On July 19 in Frankfort, French generals and officers conferred with German and Austrian counterparts at Offenbach to settle the armistice line near the city. French sought to hold position on the Kinz by Hanau, but Germans objected pending instructions from General Kray. General St. Suzanne demanded disbandment of Mentz levy en masse and militia retirement to Aschaffenburg, refused by Baron Albini; Germans' proposal for French retreat behind Nidda also refused. Another conference held today; line expected to be settled by commanders in chief. General St. Suzanne arrived in the city.
