The Moniteur has duly recorded every important
event connected with the interview at Stuttgardt.
The Emperor of Russia arrived on the 24th, the
Emperor Napoleon on the afternoon of the next day.
An interview between the Emperors took place imme-
diately, the Emperor of Russia paying his respects to
the Emperor Napoleon. On Saturday evening the
royal party were surprised by the unexpected arrival
of the Empress of Russia and the Queen of Greece.
The visit of the Emperor Napoleon was prolonged
till Tuesday morning, when he left for Metz and
Chalons. The Emperor and Empress of Russia left
Stuttgardt on the previous afternoon for Darmstadt
and Weimar. The reception of the Emperor from
the people en route is universally reported to have
been most cordial by the German population.
The correspondent of a contemporary thus sums
up the results of this interview :
-

During their stay here of four days each they have been
iu each other's company at least twice a day, but in the
presence of others ; what, however, is more to the point is,
they have been closeted together three times perfectly
alone for periods varying from one hour and a half to
two hours each. The last of these interviews took place
on their return from the Volksfest at Cannstadt yester•
day, when they retired to the apartments occupied by
the Emperor Alexander at the top of the Crown Prince's
villa, and remained together for nearly two hours, at the
expiration of which they took leave of each other, with
the greatest apparent satisfaction at having made each
other's acquaintance. On Sunday afternoon also Prince
Gortsehakoff and Count Walesaki conferred together for
more than an hour and a half; and, doubtless, have
had other meetings of which I know nothing, since
Prince Gortschakoff has in the palace made no secret of
his dissatisfaction at so much time being wasted in
gadding about that there was none left for business. In
the matter of popularity both with the Court and the
people the Emperor Napoleon has made infinitely greater
progress than the Emperor Alexander. It is assumed
that the Empress of Russia and her sisters•in•law were
averse to the Empress Eugenie's appearing here, and
from the apprehension that her greater youth, beauty, and
mental attainments would throw them into the shade,
and compel them to acknowleige the personal sups•
riority of one on whom they look down as inferior to
them.

The respectable portion of the Paris journals con•
tinue to evince the most marked sympathy for our
disasters in India.

The Patrie, in a leading article, opens the question
of the French possessions in India, and commenting
upon a petition of Bordeaux merchants, observes that
the "miserable relics " of the ancient French posses-
sions in Hindostan still consist of 188 square miles of
territory, containing 200,000 inhabitants, and opines
that the French Government is disposed effectually
to exercise in all its plenitude the incontestable right
to protect these possessions, and thus to lead the
way to a revision of 04 treaty with Engiand of
May 80, 1814, which is "offensive to our national
dignity, and leaves our establishments exposed to
manifest danger."
Prince Joachim Murat left the Emperor at
Metz, for Berlin, bearing a letter to the King of
Prussia.
