The New Journalism In France.

In an interview between a representative
of the Gdulots Of Paris and NJ. ARTHUR
10TH, the latter is represented as saying
that he had conclusive proof of the presence
Of Emperor WILLIAM II. In Paris when the
Gear was there. The French Government,
NJ. 10TH explained, had previously been
notified of his intention to be present in
oognito, and offered no objection. 1t merely
took the necessary measures to prevent any
hostile manifestation, In case the Emperor
should be discovered. On the 9Th of Octo-
ber WILLIAM II. was at Versailles, where
the Czar recognized him in the Galerie des
Glaces. One of the Russian staff officers In
attendance on the Gear. noticing the ex-
preston of astonishment in the face of his
Majesty, followed the direction of his eyes,
and Immediately recognized the German
Emperor. The Curator of the Museum of
Versailles, NJ. DE NoLHAo, also saw the
Emperor. Such was tho substance Of NJ.
LoTH's statement.
The Gdulot9 also brings out some in
teresting imperial cipher dispatches, and
a startling one in English signed WILLY"
On the 9Th of October, IL says, on the eve
of the departure of the Gar for Chalons,
he received from the Emperor WILLIAM the
following despatch in cryptographt
"In the expectation that the itinerary of your Majes
ties will be extended beyond the frontiers OF the
country which you are now visiting. and that It will
be continued In the same conditions OF pomp and
tetat. l have given orders for all honors to be paid to
your Majesties the moment you touch the soil OF Ger.

luted by artillery; and II your Najesties should desire
to pay even a brief visit to Metz all the Joy bells will
be runs. propose also to renew personally to your
MaJesties my sentiments. WILLIAM"
In reply to the above, the Gear sent the
following telegram, also in cipher,
~ thank your Majesty for your amiable Intentions;
but the Empress and l are 30 fatigued that We will

States of your Majesty. NICHOLAS"
The nextday, during the review at Chalons,
the Gar received from WILLIAM Ii. the fol-
lowing despatch, not in cipher, but in Eng
lish, and with o somewhat eccentric sigma

MaJesties must be. After the review at Cherbours.
the fetes ut Paris and Versailles, and tho review at
Chdlons, you certainly need reposa. The Emperor
has o right TO a wellearned rest.

orders for the German manifestations, after the
French manifestations The sleep OF your Majesties
will not DO disturbed from the frontier to Darmstadt,
and I trust that there. at least. In the bosom OF your
family. you will ind the genuine Joys OF the heart
and OF the mind. WILLY"
After reading this telegram the Car said

came from WILLIAM Ii. to the Gar, asking
If the latter had received the earlier de-
spatch, and to this the Car replied:

have nothing 10 add to my previous reply, except that
! hope to have the pleasure of thanking your Majesty
in Germany for oil your attentions for the Empress
and me. "NIcEoIAA"
This interesting correspondence was OBJ
tanned by the correspondent Of the GdulOtS
in Vienna from "a high parsonage in the
Austrian court" We give space to it here
as evidence OF the progress of the new jour
nalism on the Continent. What distin-
guishes the performances from those of lead
ing new journalists in our own country, is
an underlying humorous intention, artistic
ally subordinated &c the main lie, yet quite
discernible. This quality is seldom, If ever,
found in the masterpieces of the American
new journalist.
