FRANKFORT, AuG. 17

The sitting of the Congress of German Princes
commenced at 11 o'clock this morning under the
presidency of the Emperor. His Majesty is said
to have spoken at great length. The King of
Bavaria will reply. There will be no sitting to-
morrow, on account of the Emperor's birthday.
Time will, therefore, be afforded to the Sovereigns
to examine the Austrian project with their Mini-
sters before deciding upon its merits.
According to the Europa, Prince Richard
Metternich, Count Appony, and other Austrian
diplomatists, have come to Frankfort to discuss
European questions, notably the affairs of Poland
and the German difference with Denmark.

Lord Clarendon, Earl Granville, and the Duke
of Cambridge have had interviews with the Em-
peror, and paid frequent visits to the different

It is believed the Emperor will remain another
week in Frankfort.
