'Ihe Emperor exhibited less equanimity of |
temper" than on the occasion of his last pre- |
vious interview with Mr.. Jenkins. IL Mr.. |
Jenkins keeps on, the Emperor will exhibit
less and less equanimity every time. The
truth is it began to dawn upon the young
mans mind that Napoleon was on the point
of boiling over, and the sooner he got
out of the way the better. But we must tell
the rest in his own words, which are too pre-
cious to be tampered with Having had
some forebodiDgs, without indeed knowing
why that he was not in very cheerful mood,
/ commenced and carried on the conversation
in French, instead of English or German, ex-
pecting thereby to facilitate matters. 1t may
have had the opposite effect. Yes indeed,
poor mani The Emperor's features remained
rather rigid, and [ could perceive no change

this momentous meeting terminated but
later in the day there was little supplement
ary incident which deserves to be recorded.
Napoleon came to the hotel to take leave of
the Princess of Moskowa, who was going to
Geneva; he probably saw Mr.. Jenkins peering
at him from behind the tap-room door, for he
vent away Cooking very much agitated.
Thus the curtain falls upon a scene of misery
and deepest gloom, and a co8ed and CULVER
ing despot retreating d1smayed from the pre-
sence of free American citizen
On the very same day the very same Jen-
Antonelli It is curious factor rather it
is not at all curious, but, on the contrary,
perfectly natural-that the Cardinal, like the
Emperor, also exhibited less equanimity"
than he bad shown under former visitation
of Jenkins, the fate of this estimable gentle
man being to make a perpetual round of
visits and get colder and colder welcome
every time he calls. His Eminence ''did not
rlse," says Jenkins, with the elastic cour-
tesy displayed when saw him last" Neither
was his conversation especially cordial. Ellis
tone was ditferent-he was neither patroniz-
ing nor inquisitive, only appearing indiffer-
ent." He ''put on a smile for the occasion"
He had "a quiet, passive attitude of contrac-
ton, as if he were waiting for something"
Dear sir, he was waiting for you to go.
Mr.. Jenkins was pleased to observe that
notwithstanding the attacks o. the penny
PRESS" the Cardinal continued to show ''the
marks of intellect" but there was change
in his physical appearance. ''Not year has
elapsed, yet he offers much more of reduction
or contraction, so to speak, in personal ap-
pearance, than that period of age should natu-
rally have produced in him." cardinal,
indeed, whose frame begins to contract at the
early age of one year, when he ought to be
getting his growth, must be melancholy
spectacle. Possibly on account Of this NOR
! bid physical condition, his eminence did not
| say anything, SO far as we have been able to
discover, during the entire interview. The
brightest sallies, the tenderest expressions of
sympathy, and the most solemn utterances of
philosophy from the genial and accomplished
Jenkins failed to rouse the infant minister,
until our aash countryman touched upon the
question of the guarantees This remark
must have been inspired by the same exqui-
site tact which led Jenkins on previous cele-
brated occasion to ask Mrs. Lawlor what she
thought of Montaland. If we may be par
doned the expression, Jenkins got Antonelli
on the raw. ''The sore point of hisE minence
being hit upon, the one which most affects
him in his present debilitated and dilapidated
condition, he at once assumed keen, bitter
tone of voice, and with mockina look said. =
| what he said we shall not repeat. Some
thing happened just about that time. Mr..
Jenkins came away in damaged and obfus-
Gated condition. The subsequent proceed
ings interested him no more, and he is un-
able to give any intelligent account of them.
We believe he was kicked out. 81 retired
from the interview" he says, with the i'm
preston that / had received a copy of the
second edition of the work known under the
title of Non Possumus, by his Holiness
Pope Plus TX But if he got it, who gave
it to him, and what he did with it, and wha
was in it, he knows no more than we do.
