NEW YORK, Nov 9.-Thc Hcralds special
from Brussels on the 9TH relates a conyersa-
ton with Gen. Chnngarnier. The General
declared that Bazaine was not guilty of ,rcach
cry in surrendering at Metz. lie was incom
petent to command large army, and numbers
bewildered him. He could not move his men:
could not operate his forces lie hud no iudg-
ment or foresight. He was also selfish man:
oil for himself and personal glory, and not
his country's honor. Bazaino thought all the
time that peace would be proclaimed soon,
that Paris would never hold ont that tho war
would fall fiat and that his military reputa.
ton would not be impaired. He wanted to
march out Of Metz at tho head Of 15O, 900
mon, the cream Of the French army, and
make the public believe him n hero. After
Bazaino was driven into Metz on tho 18th of
August. he could have escaped had no marched
boldly out with his entire army. During the
remaining portion Of that month, the thirty
days of September and the first five days of
October, he could have done this with ALSO.
Lutte certainty.
The General subsequently expressed n be-
lief in the restoration Of the house of Orleans
to the French throne. The Republic, he said,
could not stand. It is already divided in frag.
ments. France has no government to-day.
She needs organization and harmony. The
Orlennists can give them to France.

evidences that there Is a strong movement nj

Tie Michigan Legislature meets today
to consider the question of submitting q
constitutional amendment to the people TO
legalize municipal subscriptions to rai1~
roads. The question is likely to be divided
into three parts: First, that which relates
to bonds already issued to railroads aud by
them sold, aud which have been declared un-
lawful and void BY the Supreme Court Of the
State second, that which relates to bonds
vo,ed to railroads. but not yet delivered to
tLem third, the general question Of future
issues OF bonds by municipal corpora

latest advices from Lansing indicate that
the third proposition viii not receive the
requisite vote in the Legislature, and
that the second will. perhaps bo de-
feated, while The first will probably pass,
