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, 70 whom 1t would doubtless have
been disakreeabie TO have been exposed too
much 10 public view. The meeting of the two
soveregns was fixed for nine O'Clock. At n
quarter of an hour before. Napoleon III. ar
rived at the spot, and he came before time in
order that he might 60 on for a short distance
to meet the Emperor of Austria. Francis
Joseph soon made his appearance. and seeing
that hts late adversary had corfteoasiy

When the two parties had come near, the es-
coris stopped short and the Emperors ad-
yanced into the centre of the unoccupied

was composed of Marshal valiant General
Martimptay, General Fieury, the officers of
the imperial household and OF his staff, and of
squadron of the Cent Guards and one of the
Guides, all IN their splendid fun dress uni
forms. His Majesty rode the fine BAY horse
which he has used since the commencement
of the campaign. He wore the undress uni
form of a general of division, with the kcpi-
The Emperor OF Austria also wore an undress
cap, and blue uniform freck coat and was fol-
lowed by his STAFF a squadron of his body
guard, composed of mobiles, and squadron of
hulans. 1t is .aid that he was much struck
with the martial bearing Of the French cavalry,
and that In the presence of the Cent Guards
and the Guides, the Austrian body-guard and
the hulaRs did not appear to advantage. On
the two soNerelSns meeting in the mid.space,

The Emperor of Austria appeared pleased
with the cordial welcome and open manner of
the Emperor Napoleon. The two Ernperors
remained for a moment alone In the middle of
the road and exchanged a few words. They

Eillafranca, the house of NJ. Carlo morelli,
situated in the principal street Of the town,
had been prepared to receive the two soyer-
egns. The Emperor of Austria had passed a
night there before the battle of Solferino: 1t
is a habitation comfortable, but simple, and
not remarkable for any extraordinary attrac-
ton. ] Had visited it early in the morning,
and saw, IN addition 70 The bet'sroott of the
Austrian Emperor, the sitting-room in which
the conference was TO take place some hours
later. The furniture and curtains were green,
and the walls painted in distenper. There
were several seats of various kinds, but only
two arm chairs. In the centre was an oblong
table, covered with green cloth, and on it was
placed, just as l entered, a vase of freshly
gathered flowers, which quite perfumed the
room 1t was there that for upward of an
hour and a half the two Emperors were seat

A letter from Faleggio gives few addition
III details concerning the interview. 1t says: !:
"When the Sovereigns were about TO enter
the house, the Noble Guards We're ranged on
the right in the vestibule, and the Cent Gardes
on the left. The Emperor Francis Joseph in
sisted on the Emperor Napoleon entering first.
The Emperor invited Francis Joseph to break
fast, hut the latter begged TO be excused, as he
had breakiasted before setting out. The Two
Emperors then entered the sitting-r room alone.
Their majesties sat down at opposite sides of
the table. The Emperor Napoleon laid on the
table 4 few cigarettes in an envelope and offer
ed one to the young Sovereign, who declined
II. Although no third person heard word OF
what passed at this interview, can state that
they conyersed some times in Italian but more
frequently in German; not word was writ
ten down. During the conversation, the En-
peror Napoleon, as if mechanically, picked to
pieces some of the flowers placed in vase be-
fore him. On issuing from the house, the En-
peror Napoleon conversed an instant with Ba-
ron Hess, while Francis Joseph spoke with
Marshal Valiant. Their Majesties then brief
ly inspected their escorts. The Emperor of
Austria was so struck with tho uniform and
bearing of the Cent Gardes and Guides that
he openly expressed his admiration. He also
asked whether these soldiers formed part of
the Imperial Guard"

ply states in a line, without any comment
that the preliminaries of peace were signed on
the 18th. The Opinione of Turin, Count Ca
YOURS organ, does not conceal its dissatisfac-
ton at seeing Venice remain in the hands of
Austria. As regards Count Cavours resig-
nation, it attributes it to the insufiiciency of
the terms of peace imposed upon Austria,
which. being quite contrary to his expecta-
tions. rendered it Impossible for him to remain
in office.
ARRESTS AT VENICE.
The following letter from Venice of the 9Th,
although written before the late great change
in affairs in Italy, is of interest, as showing
the state of feeling in that part of the Austrian
possessions in Italy:
not have the sense to keep quiet for yester-
day an admiralfs salute of twenty-one guns
was fired by the French, and the gente basst set
up a shout all over the city; and had the firing
continued am sure there would have been a
rising. We expect here that the bombardment
will begin within forty EIGHT hours. The Lido
is so cr;mmed with soldiers that If any more
are sent they must stand on each others heads.
The Austrians set fire to house ON the Lido,
yesterday, and another To-day, which Is burn
ing now; do not know what this is done for.
The number Of arrests which have been made
has had the effect of scattering the Italians
like flock OF pigeons fired into by double
barrel. The Countess Contarini was seized in
her palace und thrust into prison-the one
next the Ducai Palace, with lot of felons
refused permission to see her daughters, re-
fused permission to see her servants, refused
proper food, but had the felon's portion of
