After waiting quarter Of an hour the eX-
Emperor, in French, begged the ofhcer TO
order him q glass of water. One OF the
cuirassiers brought it. He moistened his
lips with it, and then, looking at the con-
tents of the glass, smiled and said TO the
officer, "Nero, when conquered, passed his

Then, having swallowed all the water ana
given back the glass, cit is true" he
added, "that my reign never resembled
his" So saying, he resumed his smoking.
After q good half hour, general officer
came from the Prussian monarch TO beg
him to enter q room where the King was
alone. Tney remained together for nearly
an hour and hall, speaking in very low
tone.
at the end of the interview the eX-Emperor
got into a post-chai>e with the PruSslan
arms in it, and took the route by LuXem-
bourg to Cassel, where he will proceed to
Spandan. This last is fortress which pro-
tects Berlin on the northeast side. 1t con-
tains State prison of a very gloomy aspect.
Those who form the suite of the King
pretend that ii is the intention of his Ma
jesty to leave Napoleon there to the end OF
his days. a perpetual imprisonment, the
King is reported to have said, would be the
only just chaStisement of so great an
offender. An officer of the Prusslan staff,
who is going to Namar and Brussels on \
special mission, affirms that without the
Intervention of the Prince Royal and that of
Count Bismarck, the King was determined to
have the Emperor shot, so great was his eN.
ASPIRATION against him for having caused the
death of so many brave soldiers. The equi-
pages, carriages, and the imperial servants
rites the various persons belonging to him
were liberated on parole, but with the re-
commentator to get rid Of their iveries,
which they very readily did. You can have
no idea in Paris of the evaporation that
prevails against the Emperor and his friends
among the French who throng here from
the field of battle.
