street, passing through the gap made a few weeks ago
by the Austrians to defend the road. Leaving the
railway station to their left they took the, opposite
turning which leads to Valleggio, and halted before
the door of a mean-looking house on the right hand,
which used to be the Emperor Francis Joseph's head-
quarters. The two Sovereigns alighted and entered
the house, aad presently they were left closeted

Austria wore a light blue uniform and t
2niitze. The Austrian Staff were also in the undress
cap, and the French wore the kepi. Louis Napoleon
was followed by a detachment of Cent Gardes and two
squadrons of Guides. The contrast between the
Officers of the two nations was striking, and became
more so as they fell into a common cavalcade
behind the Emperors. Before this occurred, how-
ever, Louis Napoleon presented his chief officers, and
after the usual amount of bowing the cortege pro-
ceeded onwards to Villafranca, the high towers
and domes of which were visible at no great distanCe.
The two Emperors side by side, their respective
Staffs in' picturesque confusion, entered the high

Austrian gendaime and a French Cent Garde standing
sentry at the door. Outside' in the street. the Staff
formed a crescent on' each side of the gate, to
the left of which the Uhlans, to the right the
Trench Guide, were drawn up in line. a
bye lane opposite , the house orderlies held the
horses, while the people of the .town who did not
appear in great numbers, were kept back by Austrian
and French gendarmes. During the half-hour which
the Emperors spent together there was a grave in-
terchange of civilities between the officers, but not
much cordiality. To most of those present it was
apparently a weary time. ' The only busy person
seemed to be a' Freneli painter, M.' Yvon, 1 believe,
who seized the opportunity to make some sketches
of Austrian officers.

At last the Emperors came out. The Emperor of
AuStria presented his staff to the Emperor of the
French, and both walked. side by side towards the
Uhlans, whom they inspected. Nothing could be
more strikingly different than the appearance of the
two men on foot. Francis Joseph; young; erect,
spare, with a small nose, blue eyes, and- pale
moustache,---Louis Napoleon, older, 'fat. in face,
large nosed, with broad moustaches, and a
remarkable peculiarity of gait. The inspection of
the Uhlans having been completed the French squadron
underwent the same ordeal, and the Emperors then
took horse again, his Majesty .Francis Joseph acconi-
-panying his Majesty Louis Napoleon for about five
minutes on the road to Valleggio, where they shook
hands, and the interview was over. At noon the
Emperor was back in his quarters at Verona.
