Henri Chabrillart, of the Figaro, and M. Cardon, of the Gaulois. ; Each of these gentlemen has published an woount.‘of his adventures. â€" At Soulz they ‘ were brought into the presence of ‘the | Crown Prince, and the interview is thus | described by M. Chabrillart : ‘I confess l am very much embarrassed. If 1 draw a flattering portrait of the Prince, it will be said that f am scld to the Prusâ€" gians ; if I draw an unfavorable picture of hins, to gratify any malvâ€"lent passion, I shall be guilty Of injustice and. falsehood. I aim a reporter, which mesns a kind of photographer. I shall therefore simply and truly state what I sar, and what was said. Those who may be dicntiufio%’:vith my account, must deal with the Prince themselves. It is not my fault that he is human. Would to Heayen that all Ger:: mans were like him ; but, unfortunately, it is not :so. Prince Frederick William, |h ir to the Crown of Pruss:a, is a man of tall stature, thin, with a calm and placid | eountenance ; but in the curve of â€"his aqueâ€": | line nose and dilating nostrils there are l evidences of energy, while the rapidity of his glance convincés you of his decision. A full, fair beard, soften the somewhat steorn expression of his features. l[&\h. groat simplicity of manner, and affects rather a kind of bourgeois style of spericâ€" ing, . thinking, and general behaviour, He was dressed in a black tunic with red collar and frcings, without any embmm or gdold braid, upon the shoulder a . epaulet to indicate his rank, but no other disttnguishing ornament. _ He wore a small black cap bordered ‘!it«h‘ red, I|fld the whole uniform was severely simple. He speaks French with great purity, withâ€" out foreign accent, beyond a slight Gerâ€". man intonation and pccasional: hesitation . at certain words. " Do you speak German, sir?"‘ said he to me.. * 4 No, Prince, not sufficiently." «I am sorry for it, as otherwise you would have heard in waat n;:aw our troops nreak of yours, and in what esteem they hold them.‘‘ . __«#I thank you very much for that opinâ€" ion,"" .: "« Ob, it is quite deserved.‘ We have all admired the ténacity and the. courage which have been evinced by oven the bumâ€" blest of your soldiers.‘‘ : .. °_ |.. | . . _‘ ‘ Then,‘with much delicate considerstion, and almost making excuses for montioaihn: the facts to us, he told ‘v« that they taken between 3,000 and ©,000 prisoners, thirty. guns, six mitraillsuses, and two -’:Tmong the prisoner«," said (he, «! is Gemeral Raoult,. 1went this morning to see him at Reichshofen, where he lies wounded, his hip and thig., being broken ; I fear that he is now dying. tie is a brave officer, and he has given me some adâ€" dresses in Paris to which he wishes letteors to be sent." * twiP i tsA * w,c‘s'vB.',;,-frinoo,” I observed, * the other prisoners also have families." , _ _ . _ __ yln-vuvuw i u4 l c n d B ds ces sA uie i «I have thought of that.
