| ! arrived here early this morning but
| had | come the day before ! could not
have witnessed more than did. Orders,
dictated by a feeling of delicacy, had been
given that only privileged persons should
approach the place Of the interview
Every care had been taken not to wound
the pride of the Emperor of Austria, tc
whom it would doubtless have been disa
| greeable to have been exposed too much
to public view. The meeting of the two
sovereigns was fixed for 9 o'clock At q
quarter of an hour before, Napoleon III
arrived at the spot, and he came before
the time in order that he might 90 on for
n short distance to meet the Emperor Oi
Austria. Francis Joseph soon made his
appearance, and seeing that his late ad-
versaTy had courteously come to receive
him, urged forward his horse. When the
two parties had come near, the escorts
stopped short, and the Emperors ad
vanced into the centre of the unoccupied
space. the escort of the Emperor Napo
leon was composed of Marshal Valiant
Gen. Martimprev, Gen. Fleury, the off
GERS of the imperial household and of hi
staff, and of a squadron of the Cent Garde
and one of the Guides, all in their splen
did full dress uniforms. His Majesty rod

and a squadron of Hulans. On the tw
sovereigns meeting in mid space the
; | courteously saluted and shook hands,
The Emperor of Austria appeared please

ner of the Emperor Napoleon. The tw
Emperors remained for a moment alon
in the middle of the road and exchange
few words. They then reciprocally pr
