The Emperor returned to Paris las
night, at 10 O'Clock, after visiting the Empcro
Of Russia, at Nice. But as this incident
much talked about, and great many com
ments and ewculations have been fouudc,
upon II, I shall mention few details. In ortle
that your readers may sec to what simple pro
portions it is rcducible, and So Judge Of it
importance for themselves.
The Emperor Napoleon arrived at Nice at
o'clock on Thursday night, the 9th ult, and
amused himself with walking about the town,
Which was illuminated in his honor. Hcucyer
| saw the Emperor Of Russia that evening. The
| next morning, just as he was on the point ot
entering his carriage, about o'clock. to pro-
ceed to visit the Emperor Of Russia. tie latter
made his appearance, in uniform, accompanied
BY the officers Of his suite; "belng anxious, !"
the offlcial account says, ito anticipate the
visit Of the Emperor Napoleon, and be the
first to thank lin for the good reception he
had everywhere met with since he entered
the French territories" Nearly half an
hour elapsed in the ceremony Of meeting
and introductions, and then the two sore.
reisns had private interview. This is the
point Of which some Of the French Imperial
ist papers try to make d great deal, and tell
Us with great solemnity that the conference
was livery long one;' implying Of course
that It was as important as it was lencthy.
Now, the interview lnsted Just three Quarters
Of an hour, rs learn from good sources. and
surely there Is nothing very remarkable in the
two Emperors conyersins in private for that
length OF time, after one Of them had travel
Cd SIX or seven hundred miles to welcome the
other into his dominions. On the contrary:
it would have been very odd If they Ind not
exchanged at least this mich converse. =
