INTERVIEW BETWEEN KING VIII
LIAM AND NAPOLEON.
LONDON, September 24.-The Times
has the following details of meeting
between King William of Prussia and
the Emperor Napoleon, at Bellevue.
The meeting was very cordial, appa-
rently. After shaking hands they en-
tered the conservatory. All the Off
GERS came out, leaving the two alone.
A dialogue then took place, of which
the following is the substance:
King William: God has given our
arms victory in the war you have pre-
cipitated.
Emperor Napoleon: The war was
not sought by me, but was imposed
on me by public opinion.
King: Asserting emphatically your
ministers created that opinion, your
army however, certainly fought brave
ly.
Emperor: But the Prussians had
discipline that mine has recently
lacked.
King: Before and since 1866 we
studied carefully the experience and
inventions of other nations.
Emperor: Your artillery won every
thing. 1t is the finest in the world.
King: In the matter Of artillery, es-
pecially, we have utilized the eXpe-
rience of other nations.
Emperor: Prince Frederick Charles
decided the event of the last battle,
his army carrying our last position.
King: You err; it was my son who
fought at Sedan.
Emperor: Where, then, was Prince
Frederick Charles?
King: His army corps is before
Metz.
The Emperor's selfpossession appa-
rently deserted him momentarily on
receiving this intelligence.
The King continued: Have you
anything to propose?
Emperor: Nothing whatever; l am
prisoner.
King: With, whom, then, am 1 to
treat?
Emperor: With the Empress and
with the government at Paris. l am
powerless; lean make no terms-give
no orders.
King: Will WillheImshobe suit you
as a residence?
Emperor: Yes.
The conversation was continued a
short time, the King expressing con-
dOlence for the Emperor. He at
length withdrew, with every mark of
respect.
CLOSE OF VICTOR HUGO's ADDRESS TO
THE GERMANs.
LONDON, September 23.-The fol-
lowing is the final portion of Victor
Hugo's address to the German people:
"And then a last word Paris,
driven to the last posts, sustained by
all, uprisen, France can conquer and
should conquer, and you will have
attempted at dead loss by this vio-
lence which already rouses the world.
In any case, efface words of destruc-
ton, abolition and death. No, Paris
will not be destroyed. If it is de-
strOyed materially, it will augment
morally. In running Paris you sane
tify it. The scattering of the stores
will be the disposition of ideas.

will only make each grain OF that
dust seed of the future. That sepul-
chre will cry liberty, equality and fra
ternity. Paris is city, but Paris is a
soul. Burn our editices, they are only
our bones, their smoke Will take
shape and will become enormous and
living and will mount up to heaven
and then will be seen on the horizon
of the peoples, above US, above you.
All and everything will attend our
glory. Your shame from that
great spectre of darkness and of light,
Paris. Now l have done. Germans
if you persist, be it so. You are
warned not to go and attack the walls
of Paris under your bombs, and your
mitrailleuse. She will defend herself.
As for me, an old man, 1 will be
there without arms. 1t is proper for
me to be with the people who are dy-
ing. complain that you are with
kings who are killing"

of Paris and began the revolutionary
depredations which are now exciting

men from outside the notifications, ,en-
tered the city for the purpose of quel-
ling the disturbance. These troops
] Immediately came in contact with the
rgvolutiOnists. Severe fighting en-
sued in the streets, the result Of which
is not known. The environs of Paris
are now in ruins from the gates OF
Neuilly to Les Tres. Buildings in that
part of the suburbs of the French cap
| ital are destroyed, with the single ex-
ception of the beautiful chapel erected
to the memory of the Duke of Orleans,
A large force of Prussians now Oc-
cupy Fontainebleau, and have levied
