The Court at MilheImshohe.

Writing from Wilhelmshohe, on Sept. 13,
the Times correspondent says: "In the
true sense of the word, Napoleon I'LL has
retired into private life; he keeps his hours
of rising and sleeping as regularly as an
old pensioner at Greenwich. The day after
bis arrival he was seen walking IS early as
73, and ever since he has stuck to his Gus

beautiful park-of course, weather permit

rather cold and rough. The Emperor's

Seine Department. only this afternoon.
At the Emperors dining-table there are
assembled about twenty persons, usually
including the Governor of Cassel, Graf
Monts. What feelings must besiege the
heart of the brave and gallant soldier, who
only short time ago was decorated for
his fifty years service, when he is dining
on the right of that man whose policy has
demanded the life OF his only son. From
Napoleon's behavior at table nothing
would convey the idea of his being pris-
oRer; he converses freely with every one.

command of the thirty soldiers at the
guard-house, had been invited to dinner

Emperor took up the conversation in Ger

Being informed of the then current report
that the Empress had been arrested at
the Western Railway station in Paris
he at once replied that he was
possessed of better and more accurate
infosmstion, the Empress being quite safe
in Belgium. To get news and remain In
communication with his family are now,
indeed, very easy for his Ex-Msjesty. A

the contact with the outer world, tbs noise
and rumble of which appear ALMOST ex-
cluded from this quiet place. Indeed,
only few people are to be seen here, most
of them being strangers. The hotel list,
to-day, enumerates more than half the
number of visitors as Americans. At twelve
o'clock, to-day, there arrived and drove up
to the palace the Duchess of Hamilton,
who, having taken up her abode at the
Grande Hotel Schombardt, called on
her imprisoned cousin. She stayed in
the palaoo for quite an hour, wheu
she was conducted back to her carriage BY
the Emperor himself On her diving off,
Napoleon uncovered his head, apparently
in some emotion. He then took walk
round the palace, at first accompanied
only by DIR. Ccnneau and Gen. 0'Reilly,

other military persons, among whom

Moakows, Psjol, Vaubert, and Achille
Murat in his blue jacket and red pauta-
looms. The Emperor was, as usual, in his

Gordon of the legion of honor and foul
other orders. He walked quite slowly
