I shall, in rolatioa to this matter, recount a conversation which took place between the Emperor Napoleon and two Amosicin ladies at Riarritz, a short time since. T can vouch for the truth of the “ollowing otails, as 1 hold thom from an undoubted source: Mr. and Mrs, Eustis have boen fesiding at Biarritz during tho past two months as guests of Mr. Flisha Riggs, of your city, who has been living in this country for some years past. A court ball was given at Biarviiz,and among those invited were tho persons above naraed, After the official quadriMe" their Majestios promenaded around the rooms, those presont forming a line on each sideof them. By some chance,near the Riggses ant Fustises stood Mrs. Butterfleld, an American lady, well known 4% Court,” and who» is a staunch and loyal subject of tho United States. 1 must here digress for a momont to state that each week the Emperor receives from Washington private despatches. ‘To return to my story. As his Majesty neared Mrs, Butterfield ho remarked to that lady, “Ihave this evening received a private despatch from America in- forming me that Gen, McClellan has been taken prisoner.

Riggs, and said, “My doar ladies, if one of yon were the North and the other tho South, I would advise you to embrace and make up the quarre! But if youare determined to eat one another—to kill one another—you will find noone here to Binder you.” As the Emperor pronounced these words he turned towards Mr. Eustis, who was standing near, and, slightly bowing to him, moved on. ‘The Americans at Biarritz—i mean all loyal Americans, of course—biame Mr. Dayton for having allowed Slidet!’s secretary a fair field there. The presence of the Ameri- gan Minister would haye prevented any reception of Eustis by the Emperor or Empress. 1do-not pretand ive undue importance to the above quoted-remirk of the Emporor, but certainly consider it worth repeating.
