Whlch there could be an agreement
between your president and myself, so

appearance of coercion on the part or
your country, withdraw the troops"
Gen. Webb thought a moment, then
suggested, not exactly a treaty, but
an agreement to be entered into d.
rectly between the emperor and the
president of the United States, involv-
ing the withdrawal of the french
troops from Mexico without the ap-
pearance Of coercion or threat on the
part or our government.
Inc emperor gratefully expressed his
appreciation of the idea, called for
writing tablet, and thereupon, as they
were seated at the breakfast table,
Gen. Webb drew up what he thought
the agreement he had in mind should
be. Finishing it, he handed 1T TO the
emperor, who read it, gave his hearty
approval to the document, and declared
that he was willing to sign 1T at once.

copyrighted article in the st. Louis
of a secret treaty between the preSi-
peror of France, which resulted in the
withdrawal of the French troops from
Mexico, shortly before the defeat and
fall Of Macmillan.
Louis Napoleon, when an exile in this
country, was befriended by the late
Gen. James Watson Webb, and Napo-
leon Ill, on learning 80 years later
than Gen. Webb had just landed in
France, sent an urgent telegram to
dine with him informally the next day.
At the hour named in the emperor's
telegram, the latter, with all ordinary
court etiquette, dispensed with, greet
ed his old benefactor in the palace at
St Cloud. They met as old friends
who stood upon an equality, and they
were friends, for after Louis Napo-
leon had become emperor of the French,
he remembered and redeemed the mon
ey loans which Gen. Webb had made
to him when he was an exile, and
since then an intimate correspondence
had been maintained between the two.
