THE IMPERIAL MEETING AT

WEIMAR.

• WEIMAR, OCT, 1.
The Emperor and Empress of Russia, Prince
Alexander of Hesse, and Prince Gortchakoff ar-
rived here yesterday evening at 9 o'clock from
Darmstadt, accompanied by the Grand Duko
Duchess of Weimar, who had gone out to meet
them, as far.as the Warburg, where they had all
dined together. From hence the entire party drove
to Belvedere, the' country seat of the Dowager
Grand Duchess of Weimar, an aunt of the Em-
peror of Russia, where they were received by h ;r,
ihe Dowager Queen of the Netherlands, ano'h-r
auntthe Emperor's, and Duke Bernhard of Saxe
Weimar, the uncle of the present Grand Duke.
This morning, at 9 o'clock the Em pet or of Austria
arrived here from Dresden, accompanied by the
Grand- Duke of Weimar, who bac.; gone to mee
him at the frontier station, and attended by Lieut.
Field-Marshal Count von Gruirne, the Austrian
Minister at Dresden, and two Adju• anti,. He was
received at the railway station by Duke Bernhard
of Saxe Weimar, Prince Alexander of Heise,
General Count Clam, the Governor-General of
Bohemia, and a numerous staff of Austrian
and Weimar officers. The guard of honour
presented, and the band played the-Austrian
national hymn ; and, after but few prelimi-
naries, the Emperor drove off to the town, ac-
companied by the Grand Duke, and followed by
Count Gruune with, Duke Bernhard. Almost im-
mediately after, having been introduced to the
Grand Duchess, and baying bad the various officers
of the household presented to him, the Emperor
drove off in the same carriage that had brought
him from the railway, an open baronet' with six
cream-coloured horses, to piy- his visit to the
Dowager Grand Duchess and her guests the Em-
peror and Empress of Russia. The Emperor
Francis Joseph hid for the occasion assumed the
uniform of his Russian regiment, and the blu
band of the Andrew's Order.

On the arrival of the Emperor Francis Joseph at
Belvedere the Dowager Grand Duchess came to

meet him on the steps leading up to the house, 1;(
by the Emperor Russia;of on which the two E n

perors embraced and kissed each other.' After they
had each of them presented their retinue to the
other, tie two Emperors retired into a room apart,
and conversed for some time alone; they thou
drove back into the town, still alone, and without
a single attendant, the Emperor of Russia sect-;d
on the right, which is by no means his custo-
mary seat when he is free to choo e. To judge
by the expression of the countenances of the two
young Emperors, who by the bye were both looking'
iu very goodhealth and spirits, natters must begoi
smoother and more rapidly heie than they did lin
Scuttgu dt. Shortly aft:.lrward;the Emperor of Rus-
sia returned to Belvedere, and then went out shoot-
ing. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hard,
a eat on foot to pay a visit to Duke Bernhard at the
Fut stenhau9, and then took a drive with the Grand
Duke, who himself drove.
This meeting of the two Emperors of Russia and
of
ftie
Austriai in this town has a precedent in the meeting
Emperor Alexander 1. with the Emperor
Francis 11. after the batile of Leipsic in 1813,
then they met in the head-quarters of the allied
army under Prim) Schwartzenberg.
WEIMAR, Om. 2.
On leaving the theatre last night, the great folks
proceeded t.) Belvedere to supper, and enjoyed on
the way thither the spectacle of the rather pi etiy
scenery they passed through, lit up by the fitful
light of numerous torches burning with a red flan-le
(rather a favourite accessory in Wagner's Tamt-
hauser by-the bye), carried by the outriders and
mounted attendants.

The two Emperors have left this milling by se

parate trains—the Emperor FrancisJosephfor Isehl
by way of Dresden, and the Emperor of Russia P. lso
for Dresden, to pay his promised visit to the King
of Saxony. It turns out now that there never was
:any ground for expecting the King of Saxony here,
who has plenty to do at home just now with his
manoeuvres, has nothing to do here, had just had
the visit of Francis Joseph, and was about to have
ihat of Alexander. The Empress was to have fol-
'o wed at a later hour, and joined the Emperor at
• ome railway station between Dreden and Berlin,
where they are due to-morrow. Their little daughter
Olga ha., however, fallen ill, though not seriously, - I
I believe,- and the Empress remains here for the
present, and the Emperor will return hither in the.
evening. Their further movements will depend on-
the health of their child.
As regards the results of this meeting of the two
Emperors, of Russia and Austria, I am led to con-
clude that if the object of the meeting was simply
to remove the acerbities left by the late war by
means of personal intercourse, that object has been
attained, and a very amicable personal feeling esta-
blished ; on the other hand, I hear nothing which
su'gests the idea that any diplomatic business
at all was transacted. How it has fared with the
fate of Count Buol I am not in a position to report
—my own impression is that Francis Joseph is not
likely to give up
his Minister for any but a very
weighty reason, and that Alexander is not, as yet,
so far master of the situation as to be able to de-
mand it, nor Austria so far isolated as to make it
mperative for her to pay that price forre-admission
to amity with Russia.
