Trial of Marshal Bazaine dc.
T IRIS, October 13.-The Journal de
Paris declares that the recent elections de-
monstrate the necessity for the restoration
of the monarchy to prevent impending
anarchy.
The trial of Marshal Bazaine was re-
sumed at noon to-day. The attendance
was larger then on any day since the OPEN
ing. The president of the court began his
examination of the accused, stating that he
should consider that the prisoners respon-
sibility commenced with the 18th of Au-
gust. He, however, put several ques-
tons in regard to events before that
date. nreply to questions concerning the
disaster of Forbach, Bazaine said he had
no knowledge that orders were given to the
generals direct. He was present at the
council of war held by the Emperor on the
9Th of August. 1t was then resolved that
his army should be brought to the walls of
Metz, and the movement in that direction
began on the llth. After reaching the city
he received no orders to obtain ammuni-
ton. He complained of carlessness of
the intelligence service He did not re-
ceive precise information of MacMahon's
situation until the 18th, and orders to
throw a bridge across the Moselle reached
him only the day before. He denied that
he could be held responsible for the delay,
and the subsequent failure to destroy
bridges to prevent the enemy's pursuit.
Telegraphic dispatches were read, show
ing that Bazaine intended to counteract the
flank movement of the Germans, but the
Emperor prevented him from carrying out
the plans. The Marshal, in answer to fur
Their questions, especially concerning the
10th OF August, stated he agreed with the
Emperor to march to Verdun, but delay
was caused by the battle, and he was other
wise hindered. lie was unaware that the
Emperor intended to depart from Metz He
declared that the Emperor left no special
orders. 1t was well unerstood, however,
that in the event of strong resistance the
army was to remain at Metz few days,
and not 60 beyond Verdun in any case
After the battle of the 10Th, Leboeuf and
Canrobert agreed with him that it was i'm
possible to advance. Responsible officers
informed him his supplies were insufficient.
He said that he gave Canrobert all the aid
he asked at st. Privat. He blamed
L'Admirault for not calling up the reserves.
In justification of his conduct after the
18th of August, he cited orders he had
received to be cautious. The accused
