Had my counsel been followed Paris would have been attacked long ago, PLANS ADOPTED WITHOUT BISMARCK’S COUNSE! CoRRESPONDBRT—Your Excellency says that your counsels were overruled ?”” BismaRcK—When the forces led by General Von Blumenthal, after the victories of Welssenbourg and Woerth, emerged from the Vosges and marched to- wards Chalons, where the cavalry under Prince Al- brecht stood, General Von Meltke decided that they should come up and help to annihilate the army so hurriedly abandoned at Chalons. 1 urged that they should be ordered to continue their march on Paris, tnen unprepared for a siege, and take it, or at least cut it off from the rest of France, which should then be overrun as quickly as possible, When the De partment of Seine-ct-Oise was reached, it was found anut hard to crack, Then there was anew ques- tlon. How was the kernel to be reached? First, we determined on bombardment, of which the intention to open @ secret park of artillery at Villacoublay was complete proof. This measure I urged; but now came a new disagreement. The King, under the advice of Von Moltke, decided to let famine re- duce the capital, trusting that discords among the Parisians would contribute to hasten the surrender. ANXIOUS FOR THE BOMBARDMENT OF PARIS. CORRESPONDENT—But this plan was universally supposed to be your own? BisMARCK—So far is that opinion from the truth that I now cease to disguise my indignation at being no longer made a party-to councils wherein great questions were decided, In 1866 no important proposition was decided without asking my advice, Now there are great ehanges. Whole plans are adopted without consulting me, while popular dis- approval falls upon me. Those who say it is my fault that Paris has not been bombarded are wholly imerror. Ihave most ardently desired it and most strenuously urged it, A HALF-HEARTED GERMAN UNITY, CORRESPONDENT—But at last you have the satis faction of having accomplished the unification of Germany BisMARCK—Ah, no! I attribute the halting and Partial failure of the attempttor German unity to the delay resulting from these opposing schemes, Had my advice been followed the people of Bavaria and Wurtembarg would have been carried in on the wave which swept over Germany, and the grand scheme of a united Vaterland and Deutscher Kaiser woula have become a reality instead of the half-nearted confederation now about to be born. For me the great object of the war never lay on this side of the Rhine, but on the other side, where I meant should exist one great country, one great people and one great Emperor.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 26, 1870, eports that Russta has counted upon the morai aid of the Untted States to assist her in set tung differences with the European Powers ts fully verified here to-day by the best possible authority. In view of a probable meeting of @ European Congress the Russian government a short time ago expressed. a desire through ite Minister here to have the United States government represented in that diplomatic assembly. Min- ister Catacazy consulted authorities here, and also proceeded to Boston and had a long consultation with Senator Sumner, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. The result in the latter case was that Mr. Sumner earn- estly favored the project, und his address on the Franco-Prussian war lately delivered in Boston is un- derstood to define iis position on this question, and to embody views which in his judgment the United States should try to present to the proposed Euro- pean Congress, The best informea ana most care- ful observers of the European dimcatry do not doubt the failure of this scheme, and say that in case such & Congress assembles it will discuss questions of European policies and nothing else, and tf the result Js satisfactory will terminate by the conclusion of ® treaty of peace, involving, most probably, guarantees of iuropean territories, bringing some Powers into still closer and more entangling relations. There i no donbdt that, should a European Congress assem- bie, the administration will deciine w send repre- sentatives, in order to avoid placing Itself and the United States government in a position so contrary to well established precedents of American policy. Of this fact the Russian Minister has been made aware, and Russia will not, therefore, be aided by the United States.
