THE DUKE DE GRAMMoNr ON THE PRov1.
SIGNAL GovERNMENT-HE THINKS IT WILL
BE A FAILURE.
New YORK, September IA special from
London to the Herald says:
1.-The Duke dc Grammont has arrived
mere, having escaped MA HaYre. He con.
verses freely. He says the Revolutionary
government cannot last. All recent tests,
he said, prove it's members have not the
confidence of the people. The men now in
power are those whose efforts heretofore
have been directed to embarrass the real
Government and assure the failure of the
war. Republican agents are constantly en-.
deaYoring to shake the confidence and de.
stroy the discipline of the army, and he at.
tributes the loss Of several battles to this
cause. He does not see how foreign Govern
ments can recognize the Republic. To:mor.
row another batch of men might get up and
declare themselves the Provisional Govern.
mont and involve the city in bloodshed. He
considers such a result more than probable
if arms are placed in the hands of the. lower
classes. y-
1.-The first new reverse on the approach of
the Prussians before the city might be a
signal for the overthrow Of the present
selc-constituted Ministry, and create
another. Duke de Grammont conddes in
Trochu, but apprehends he will not be
permitted to have his own way. He be-
lieves France fully able TO yindicate its
honor and expel the Prussians from the
territory. He declines to express an
opinion as to the future fate of the EN-.
peror or his dynasty.
"The Duke had a long interview with
Mr.. Gladstone and Earl Granville"
