THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, Oct. 3.—The opening of the Danish
Diet, which took place in Copenhage❑ on the 30th
ult. by commission, was effected without much noise
or bustle. After the ceremony had taken place,
and the Royal Lescript read by the Minister of the
Interior, declaring the Parliament opened, the
members of the two Chambers, or "Things," pro-
ceeded to elect the Pi e3idents and Vice-Presideals,
which was accordingly done, before the Assembly
broke up.

The memorial of the Holstein Provincial Diet,
relative to the rejection of the constitutional project
laid before it by the Danish Government, has been
published in the shape of an address to his Majesty
the King.

During the past nine months 3,845 ships of all
descriptions have left, and 3,963 arrived at this
port, inclusive, of which 881 of the former were
steamers and the remainder sailing vesels, and of
the latter 960 were steamers and 3,003 sailing ships.
The number of 938 colliers craves that the coal
trade has been in a flourishing condition.

THE IMPERIAL MEETING EAT
WEIMAR.

WEIMAR, OCT. 1.
The Emperor and Empress of- Russia, nine()
Alexander of Hesse, and Prince Gortschakoff ar-
rived here yesterday evening at 9 o'clock from
Darmstadt, accompanied by the Grand Duke an+t
Duchess of Weimar, who had gone out to meet
them, as far as the Wartburg, where they had all
dined together. From hence the entire party drove
to Belvedere, the country seat of the Dowager
Grand Duchess of Weimar, au aunt of the Em-
peror of Russia, where they were received by h•3r,
the Dowager Queen of the Netherlands, ano'her
aunt of the Emperor's, and Duke Bernhard of Saxe
Weimar, the uncle of the present Grand Duke -
This morning, at 9 o'clock the Envoi or of Austria
arrived here from 'Dresden, accompanied by the
Grand Duke of Weimar, who bad gone to meet
him at the frontier station, and attended by Lieut.
Field-Marshal Count von Grutine, the Austrian
Minister at Dresden, and two Adjutants. He was
received at the railway station by Duke Bernhard
of Saxe Weimar, Prince Alexander of Hesse,
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 Grunne with Duke Bernhard. Almost im-
mediately after, having been introduced to tue
Gland Duchess, &taboo/hag had 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 barouch with six
cream-coloured horses, to pay his visit to the
Dowager Grand Duchess and her guests the Em-
peror and Empress of Russia. The Emperor
Francis Joseph had for the occasion assumed the
uniform of his Russian regiment, and the blue
band of the Andrew's Order.

-~On the arrival of the Emperor Francis Joseph at
Belvedere the DowageroGrand Duchess came to
meet him on the steps leading up to the hope, led
by the Emperor of Russia ; on which the two Em-
perors embraced and kissed each other. After they
had each of them presented their retinue to the
other, t'ae two Emperors retired into a room apart,
and conversed for some time alone; they then
drove back into the town, still alone, and without
a single attendant, the Emperor of Russia seatttd
on the right, which .is by no means his custo-
mary seat when be is free to choose. To judge
by the expression of the countenances .of the two
young Emperors, who by the bye were both lookiuu
in very good health and spirits, matters mustbegoinv
smoother and more rapidly here than they 'did in
Stuttgal dt. Shortly afterwards the Emperor of Rus-
sia returned to Belvedere, and then went out shoot-
ing. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand,
went on foot to pay a visit to Dtike Bernhard at the
Furstenhary, and then took a drive with the Grand
Duke, who himself drove.
This meeting of the two Emperors of Russia and
Austria in this town has- a precedent in the meeting
of the Emperor Alexander 1. with the Emperor
Francis 11. after the battle of Lsipsic in 1813,
when they met in the head-quarters of the allied
army under Prance Sehwartzenberg.
WEIMAR, OCT. 2.

On leaving the theatre last nigh', the great fol
proceeded to Belvedere to supper, and enjoyed on
the way thither the spectacle of the rather pretty
scenery they passed through, lit up by the !Wel
light of numerous torches burning with a red thine
(rather a favourite accessory in Wagner's Tann-
hattser by-the-bye), carried by the outriders and
mounted attendants.
The two Rivet ors have left this morning by so-

parate trains—the Emperor FrancisJosephfor Iscbl
by way of Dresden, and the Emperor of Russia els°
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, bas nothing to do here, bad just had
the visit of Francis Joseph, and was about to have
that of Alexander. The Empress was to have fol-
lowed at a later hour, and joined the Emperor at
some railway' station between Drezden and Berlin,
where they are due to-morrow. Their little daughter
Olga has, however, fallen ill, though not seriously,
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
suggests 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
imperative for her to pay that price forre-admission
to amity with Russia.
