raldl-The correspondent of the Herald telegraphs
from Brussels, on the 9TH, an account of an inter-
view with Cenerai Changarnier during which the
latter made the following statement in regard to
the capitulation of MetZ:-Bazaine did not sell
himself. His work was far from an act of treason.
There was no treachery and no necessity for it.
Numbers bewildered him. He could not move his
men; could not operate his forces; he had judg-
ment, no foresight. He was also a selfish man, all
for self personal glory and not his counTys honor
Bazaine thought all the time peace would be
proclaimed soon, that Paris would never hold out,
reputation would not be impaired. He hoped to
march out of Metz at the head of 10000 men, the
cream of the French army, and make the public
believe him a hero. After Bazaine was driven into
Metz on the 10Th of August he could have escaped
| had he marched boldly out with his entire army.
During the thirteen remaining days of that month,
| thirty days of September, and the first fifteen
days of October, he could have done this with alb

During the last ten days of the investment of
Metz sorties were impossible, and no attack nor at
tempt at escape could be made, because we had no
artillery, no cavalry and only 10000 infantry. We
