LONDON, Wednesday, Sept 49, 1870.
special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE,
Under date of the 9th inst, describes the fol-
lowing conversation with Bismarck: "He
(Bismarck) began by expressing his high re-
gard for Gen. Sheridan, and his gratitude to
the United States for their sympathy with
Germany. To a remark concerning the war,
in respect to the prospect of German
unity Bismarck replied that there was no
stronger friend of unity than himself; but
care was required in accomplishing the work.
South Germany having fought by our side
her wishes must be considered; her iDchna-
tons cannot now be compelled; we must OBJ
tain consent of those States in selecting our
direction. In Bavaria ii seems impossible to
agree on any form of union, but in Baden
things look better; no doubt there is an
opening
News of the French Republic had just
been received, on which subject Bismarck
said, we shall not interfere with their do
nestic affairs To the suggestion that there
must be some settled government to give
Prussia a secure guarantee for the payment
of war expenses and indemnity, Bismarck re-
Piled only by repeating, I'VE don't want to
interfere with the domestic affairs of France.
Our people think we must have those German
provinces France took from us many years
ago We must at least render France power
less to menace us by the same road. Metz
and Strasbourg we must have, and we ask no
more than is necessary to our own safety
"'We are a very patient people. They have
been telling us that if we would not fight,
they would compel us. Well, we are like the
father of family who, after enduring many
insults, at last determines to fight duel, only
On condition that the combat shall be decisive
and shall be fnal.'"
