LONDON, Nov. Q, 1870.
Aspecal telegram from Wilhemshohe, dated on
the 9th inst supplies most interesting report of
an interview which correspondent of the HERALD
has just had with his Majesty Napoleon ILL.,, ex-
Emperor of France, at his place of Imprisonment.
The HERALD correspondent writes as follows:-
In reply to my application for permission to visit
Napoleon received the following note:-
WILHELMsHouE Oct. 80, 1870.
Sm-Your communication, with the documents
which accompanied it, has been received. shall
return the latter to you here, whittier, presume,
you intend to come, in which case l shall ac-
quaint the Emperor of your desire, which cannot
be realized unless you are present. Accept, &C.,
PIETRI.
AT wILHELMsHOHE.
Journeying in accordance with this note of per-
mission arrived at Wilhelmshohe on the 4tl in
iubt rirn Of
dation was regular "Hobson's choice" There
are only two buildings at the place. One of these
is the Castle Of Whelmshohe, with its appurte-
nances; the other very spacious and comfort
able hotel, called the Schombardt House.
SCENERY.
Snow had fallen few days before to depth
of several inches The surrounding mountains
presented a really beautiful appearance, and the
general aspect Of the scenery attracted quite a
number of visitors.
Having enjoyed comfortable rest during the
night rose from bed at an early hour on the
morning of the 9Th instant and walked round to
the Chateau Wihelmshohe.
TIE GUARD.
There were dozen of military sentinels posted
at the different portals Of the building on guard
duty in and around the house, and half company
of soldiers in temporary barrack near to the
| building found also detachment Of German
artillery in charge of six guns. This latter is the
same force which recently went through its drill
maneuvres in the presence Of the ex-Emperol
and received his concentrations.
The sentinels act merely as guard of honor.
vIsIToRs-wHo THEY ARE.
No attraction less than the fact that the castle
harbors and shelters the imperial prisoner couli
induce people to come from distance to Viii
helmshohe. number of strangers, however
hailing from afar and in the more immediate
neighborhood, prompted by curiosity only, ar
rive at the place daily. These people are gene
rally and for the most part disappointed in til,
object of their journey. They hope to catch
glimpse of fallen majesty. Very few persons
come on business Of special character.

ter at my hotel. OF these transcribe the follow
