French Officers Charged with Breaking their
Paroles.
LONDON, Dec. 24.-Count Bismarck, in a cir
cular despatch to the representatives of the
North German Confederation serving ut foreign
Courts, charges that many French officers,
among others Generals Ducrot, Barral, and
Cambriels, have, lin violation of the word of
honor" given on parole, reioined the French
army, and that "tbe word of honor of French
officers does not in all instances constitute the
guarantee for which il was accepted The
| Prussian Premier further mentions that "the
! French officers who are still held in Germany
as prisoners of war have had to suffer nothing
| additional in the way of captive inconve-
| nience or rgor from the bad faith of their
! comrades" Having promised so far Count
| Bismarck continues
"But the matter assumes different aspect,
! from the fact that the Government of National
| Defense of France officially approves of this
breach of faith on the part of officers who have
! escaped from their parole, by giving them COM
Missions in the armies which are fighting against
u.s. while from the commands of the French
! army actively engaged in the field no protest
has yet come against the entrance of these
|
! been made evident to the members of the Paris
| Government that all officers holding commits
responsibility Which attacnes to the breach Of
faith which has been committed by these iudi-
| viduals against the usages of war. Under these
| circumstances, the Government of the North
German Confederation is placed in the
necessity of taking into consideration the ques-
| tion whether it is compatible with the military
| interests of the country to further grant those
| favors to French officers which they have hth-
erto enjoyed. The Government of His Majesty
the King (William) has also placed before it the
! still graver question of what amount of conf
dence it can place in the fulflment of any con-
ventions which may be concluded with French
commanders or the French Government, with
out having had previously material guarantees
| for their due observance, and q reservation to
and the rights thereof in this respect"
Count Bismarck concludes as follows
Il feel under the necessity of directing your
| attention, and that of the Government to which
you are accredited to our experiences of the
great importance which these matters and facts
| have with regard to the international relations
of the countries with France, in order that any
protests which the French rulers may raise
against such prudential measures on our part
may meet their proper appreciation
