New-York tribune., 1871-03-31

and some preliminary conversation, during which
Prince Bismarck expressed his appreciation of the
good sense and consistency displayed by the people
and Government Of the United States during the
war, the correspondent asked:
"Does your Excellency think the events in Paris
are important to Germany"
Prince Bismarck replied--N0t important to the de-
gree supposed. One would have thought the public
mind of Germany would have been much more
crossed with the rising and of the Reds than
has actually been the case. The general public see
only two points of view when the matter is dis
cussed. These are-the possibility of the German
soldiers being detained in France by the rising longer
than would else have been the case and secondly
they point to the present state of Paris as proof
that the German appreciation of the population Of
Paris more correct than that of the neutrals who
consider Paris the center of civilization and regard
it rs almost too sacred to be touched by the Ger
man barbarians.
CoRREsPoNDENT-What is the policy of Germany
in the present complicationsf
BIsMARCK-The matter is as simple as possible to
the eyes of German statesmen. The Reds now in
possession Of Paris simply rioters. The Govern
ment of NJ. Theirs is the only legitimate Govern
ment So soon as the insurgents transgress the
terms of the Conventions concluded with the legiti
mate Government Of France the Germans will treat
them rioters and disperse them by force of arms ;
but long they do not ransgress the stpulations
they will be left alone
CoRREsPONDENT-The there will be no interfer-
ence in behalf of the Government
BISMARCK: Not directly, but facilities will he
afforded to the Theirs Government with regard
to the concentration of troops at Versailles They
will be allowed to mass a larger force there than
they coud according to the stipuaions of the peace
prelimnares. 1t is also likely that upon direct
application of the French Government, German aid
will not be withhold
CORREsPoNDENT-Bu is not Germany interested
in the preservation Of the Thers Government 7
BIsMARCK-Only so far as the fulfllment of the
conditions of peace are concerned. Certainly the
Government of NJ. Theirs is the only which gives
guarantees for compliance with the stipulatiOns of
the peace preliminaries
CONSEQUENTLY Germany send message to
the Reds declaring that she wonld not interfere but
would maintain friendly relations
BIsMARCK-Certainly not. There is mistaken
idea prevailing in England with regard to the posi-
ton Of Germany toward the rioters in Paris in
sequence of wrong translation of the letter of Gen.
Schlobein. The Journal 06icie said that long
| the Germans were not mterfered with a passive"
attitude would be observed. This made to read
" friendly attitude, very different thing. There
| have only been three kilograms sent from Germany
relating to the riots, and two of them
were simply Of military character. One
| of these, my own, addressed to N. Favre
was also misinterpreted. In short, Germany
will never interfere with the internal affairs OF
France bat all parties must respect and observe the
peace stpuatons to the letter, and it, in order To do
| this the legitimate Fronch Government appeals for
aid, Germany will probably extend it to a certain
| degree Germany viii also aid the Government of
| France to enforce law and order by relaxing the
strict regulations of the peace preminaries. Fur
| ther than this Germany will be passive.
