declaring that the King was disposed TO content
himself with $500 francs, with the inhabitants of
StrasDourg included.
NOT AN ISCH on TERRITORY.
The Empress replied with great energy that so
long rs there was any question OF the smallest
sion OF territory she would hold aloof from every
negotiation. The events Of the last month have
made no alteration In her resolution, and far as
the efforts OF General Boyer have been directed 10
this point they have completely failed; nor could
the mission or General Boyer have had for its OBJECT
TO consult the Empress TO the proprety or
dering Metz az this moment. That story Is the only
one way or conceang the real object OF General
Boyer's journey.

must not be inferred that Marshal Bazaine would

dynasty than In accordance with the true interests
OF his country.
THE INTERVIEW AT cHIsELnURsr.
There is, then, no particle OF truth In the stories
told about the interview at Cniselhurst, and can
scarcely be necessary to add that the approaching
journey Of the Empress TO King Williams headquar-
tiers belongs like all the rest. to that domain of inyen
tion in which the subtle genius of France coming
the aid Of her present difficulties, has contrived
during The last few weeks to lead Us astray.
PRINCE NAPoLEoN's LITTLE CANE.
Prince Napoleon, who had taken sides with those
who would perhaps nave wished 10 induce the
Empress TO commit an indiscretion, has had his
labor ior his palms. while his violent recrimnatons
against the past policy Of the empire had other
result than to compel him listen 10 some harsh
truths from his ilustrious cousin and 10 cause him
to quit Cmschurst somewhat suddenly, where, In
deed, his reception had been OF the coolest.
