THE CAPTURE OF PARIS MUST BE ACCOMPLISHMENT
CoRREsPoNDENT-What Is the explanation OF the
great dissatisfaction expressed in Germany at me
plan OF the campaign, especially in relation to Paris
y BIsMARCK-The capture OF PARIS is clamored
for. and 1t must be accomplished sooner or later 10
satisfy the folks at home. Respecting the time ana
the for eectng this public opinion is greatly
astray; it bestows animadversions unjustly. Had
my counsel been followed Paris would have been
attacked long ago.
PLANS ADOPTED WITHOUT BIsMARcKs COUNSEL
CoRREsPoNDEKT-You Excellency says that your
counses were overrnledp ~
BlsMARcK-when the forces led by General Won
Bumenthal after the victories OF weissenbourg and
woerth, emerged from the vosges and marched to-
wards Chalons, where the cavalry under Prince Al
precht stood, General Won MotKe decided that they
should come up and help TO annlhilafe the army
hurriedy abandoned at Chalons urged that they
should be ordered to continue their march on Paris
then unprepared for siege, and take it, or at least
cut 1t OF from the rest Of France which shoud then
be overrun as quickly as possible When the De-
partment OF Seine Disc was reached, 1t was found
a nut hard to crack. Then there was new ques-
ton. How was the kernel to be reachedf First, we
determined on bombardment OF which the intention
to open q secret park Of artillery at Villacoublay
was complete proof. This measure urged; but
now came new disagreement The King, under
W.
duce the capital trusting that discords among the
Parisians would contribute to hasten the surrender
ANXIOUS FOR THE COMMANDMENT OF PARIS.
CoRREsPoNDENT-But this plan was universally
supposed to be your OWN
BIsMARcK-So far is that opinion from the truth
that now cease to disguise my Indignation ut
being no longer made party.to councils wherein
great questions were decided In 1866 no important
proposition was decided without asking my advice.
Now there are great changes. Whole plans are
adopted without consulting me, while popular dis.
approval falls upon Those who say it is my
fault that Paris has not been bombarded are wholly
in error. have most ardently desired IL ana most
strenuously urged it.
hALf-HEARTED GERMAN UNITY.
CoRREsPoNDENr-But at last you have the satls-
faction OF having accomplished the publication OF
Germany
BIsMARcK-Ah, no! j attribute the hating and
partial failure OF the attempt Tor German unity
the delay resulting from these opposing schemes.
Had my advice been followed the people OF Bavaria
and Wurtemburg would have been carried In on the
wave which swept over Germany, and the grand
scheme Of united vaterand and Deutscher
Kaiser would have become reality instead OF the
half-nearted confederation now about TO be born.
For me the great object OF the war never lay on
this side OF the Rhine but the other side where
! meant should exist one great country one great
people and one great Emperor.
This extraordinary conversation was held under
peculiar circumstances which cannot now be
stated; put l have given almost the exact words
used by the Chancellor.
GERMAN OPERATIONS AGAINST GARlBALDI.
Details OF the movements OF the PrussIan army
operating against General Garibaldi have been re-
ceived to-day. Amer their repuse at Neuts they
pillaged Citeaux and concentrated at Dion.
BOURBAKI's REASONS FOR REsIGNiNG.
Bourbaki refuses the command or the Eighteenth
corps. He says he has formed one army and has
been deprived Of It's command. lie viii not submit
twice to this usage. He wants active service ana
not organization work.
