BISMARCK DEFINES THE POSITION CT
GERMANY.
LONDON, March 3l.-A newspaper
correspondent has lately obtained an
interview with Bismarck, in which
he states the affairs in Paris were dis
cussed after courteous reception and
some parliamentary conversation.
The Prince also expressed his appre-
citation OF the good sense and consist.
ency displayed by the people and the
Government Of the United States dur
ing the war, and proceeded fully to
give his views on the situation and to
define the position of Germany. He
talked Of the domestic difficulties Of
France, which was, in substance, that
he denied Germany had sent a mes
sage to the Red Republicans declaring
that she would not interfere. but
would maintain friendly relations;
and adds that there is a mistaken idea
prevailing in England with regard to
the position Of Germany toward the
rioters in Paris, in consequence Of the
wrong translation of the letter of Gen.
The Journal CFicieL said
that so long as the Germans were not
interfered with a passive attitude
would be observed. This was made /
to read "a friendly attitude" " a very
different thing. There have only /
been three telegrams sent from |
the Germans relating to the riots, |
and two of them were simply |
Of military character. One of these, |
my own, addressed to Favre, was
also misinterpreted. In short, Ger |
many will never interfere with the |
affairs Of France, but all parties must |
respect and observe the peace stipula- !
tiOns to the letter; and if, in order to /
do this, the legitimate French Gov
ernment appeals for aid, Germany |
viii probably extend it to a certain /
degree. Germany will also aid the |
ment Of France to enforce law !
and order by relaxing the strict regu- /
latiOns Of the peace preliminaries. /
Further than this, Germany will be /
passive and will afford facilities for /
the concentration of the Government /
troops, and, if necessary, give Thiers !
assistance In suppressing the Com !
mune ia Paris. He declares that the /
regular Government is the only one
competent to assure Germany OF the I
payment of the promised indemnify, /
and hence he means to maintain it. /
He recognizes the Reds as simple riot !
ers, and says so soon as the insurgents i
transgres5 the terms of the c0nveu- |
tons which were concluded with the /
Government OF France, the /
Germans will treat them as rioters, /
and disperse them by force of arms; /
but so long as they do not transgress
the stipulatiOns, they will be let alone. /
