half--bread for eight months, and
wine and brandy for year. The tel
egram says further, that the French

LoGUEs-A SERIOUS ENGAGEMENT G0RT-
sCHAKoFF AGAIH-RUMoRS OF A aoRTIE
AND A AFIGHr-BoURBAKI ON HIS DIGNITY.
LONDON, November ga special
correspondent of the World, who left
Versailles on the 2lst, brings the fol
lowing report of an interview he had
with Bismarck that day:
Correspondent-What is the expla-
nation of the great dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by Germany at the plan Of the
campaign, especially in relation to
PARISH
Bismarck-The capture of Paris is
clamored for, and it must be accom-
plished sooner or later, to satisfy the
folks at home. Respecting the tiue
and means for effecting this, public
opinion is widely astray. 1t bestows
animadVersion uDjustly. Had any
council been followed, Paris would
have been attacked long ago.
Correspondent - Your Excellency
says that your counsels were over
ruled.
Bismarck-When the forces led by
General Won Blumenthal. after the
victories of Weisemburg aud Woerth,
emerged from the Vosges and
marched towards Chalons, where the
cavalry under Prince Albrecht stood,
General Won Moltke decided that
they should come up and help annihi-
late the army which so hurriedly
abandoned Chalons. urged that they
should be ordered to continue their
march on Paris, unprepared for a
siege, and take it, or at least cut 1t
off from the rest of France, which
should then be overrun as quickly as
possible. When the Department OF
Seine ct. Oise was reached, it was
found the nut was hard to crack.
Then there was new question: How
was the kernel to be reached2 First
we determined on bombardment, of
which the intention to open the Sc
cret park artillery at Villa Conblay
was complete proof of this measure, l
urged; but now came a new disagree
ment. The King, under the advice OF
Won Moltke, decided to let famine
reduce the Capital, trusting that dis
cord among the Parisians would con-
| tribute to hasten the surrender.
Correspondent-But this was uni
versally supposed to be your own.
Bismarck-So far is that opinion
from the truth, that / have now
ceased to disguise my indignation at
being no longer made a party to the
councils wherein great questions were
| decided. In 1866 the important prop
osition was decided without asking
my advice, and now there are great
changes. Whole plans are adopted
without consulting me, while the pop
| ular disapproval falls upon me. Those
who say it is my fault that Paris has
I
error. I have most ardently desired
and strenuously urged it.
Correspondent-But, at least, you
have the satisfaction of having &C
complished the uni6eation OF Ger
many.
Bismarck-Oh, no! Attribute the
halting and partial failure of the at
tempt for German unity to the delay
resulting from those opposing tht
scheme. Had my advice been fol
