THE MEETING OF THE EMPERORS.

PARIS, MONDLY ETIXIIIO.

The interview between the two Emperor,
announced by the Moniteur to take place this day,
strengthens the general impression that peace is eel
good as made. A very strong belief prevails that
the principal bases of the treaty will be directly
agreed to between the two sovereigns, and that the
congress, which must coins afterwards, will only be
called upon to regulate the details of the new settle-.
meet of Italy. Villafrancs, where the important
interview was to have taken place at 9 o'clock this
morning, is a town of 8,000 inhabitants, situated
about four miles from the respective head•qusrters
of the opposing armies. The ceremonial of the
meeting was probably regulated according to pre-
cedents of the first empire. The two sovereigns,
each accompanied by a large staff, will have arrived
simultaneously at a house selected for the interview.
Military chancellors appointed on either side will
have drawn up minutesof the conference which will
serve u the basis of future negotiations. It is pre-
sumed that immediately after the conference the
Emperor Francis Joseph will have returned to
Verona, and the Emperor Napoleon to Valleggio.
Although the French language is usually that of
diplomacy, I learn that, out of courtesy to the
Emperor of Austria, Napoleon 111. has consented to
speak in German, with which he is perfectly
familiar.
The Debate says :

The object obsdaately puma by English policy has been
attalned to this assn, that the intervention of Prussia and
Germany has teen, if not prevented, at least so frr delayed
dist the armistice has now cows, and profoundly modified
the plural aftuation. It remains to be seen how Prussia,
which had contrived to seem to threaten France without
helping Mullis, and which probably thaught herself very
clever in raisiog hopes or ezci.ing ansiety among all partite
without taking upon herself any engagemente—it remains,
we my, to be seen how Pretests will like to bear the heavy
burden of her army and her landwehr during the five
weeks of the truce. If Austria feels that it has a right to
complain of Prussia. the conclusion of an armiatice so em-
barrassing and so onerous for the Prussian government is not
a had way of showing bee displeasure.

A Vienna letter of the Bth, speaking in precisely
the same spirit as the Debats, says:

Bach la the spirit of the Austria; government that it
would rather Lae a province than yield any Wag to liberal
principles. Orrmuy has been niggard of her aid, became
she wanted a change in the internal policy of Austria, and
nearly Joseph, teeing himself placed In a dilemma which
forted him to yield either to Germany or to France, preferred
taking the latter course.

The Bourse wu somewhat heavy in the morning,
owing to large cash sales, induced by the late great
rise. The Rents, however, became firm in the after-
noon, and clued with a further improvement of 25e.
for cub, and 15c. for account, at 68fr. be. and
68fr. Ibe. Mobilier left off without change. Rail-
ways were from 6fr. to 10fr. lower.

The Pain's complains with much bitterness that
the Austrian journals represent the suspension of
arms es having been agreed to in compliance with
the "reiterated instances" of the French, who have
accepted all the conditions "imposed by us." No
doubt this mode of stating the case is very wide of
the truth ; but the Patric should recollect that the
system of postponing the truth to the purposes of
the moment is not peculiar to Vienna. It prevails
in Paris. Only two days ago the Potrie itself pro-
mulgated the false news that the armistice wu con-
cluded at the request of the Emperor of Austria.
Whether it was an instrument in the hands of au-
thority, or whether, speaking without knowledge, it
tort upon itself to mike an averment which it
fancied would be popular, the Pa tree is equally
'stopped from the right to make a display of
virtuous indignation against the semi-official press
of Vienna.

It is reported from Berlin that the Emperor of
Ruseia will shortly arrive there to be present at a
family conference in which it will be decided
whether, after the abdication of the King, the crown
shall be conferred upon the Prince Regent or upon
his son, Prince Frederick William, the husband of
the English Princes' Royal.
In consequence of the late catastrophe at Bor-
deaux, M. Damn', the manager of the water-works
of the city, has been suspended by the mayor.

object by an honourable negotiation.
