A letter from S.uttgardt, of the 18th instant,
ALREADY gave the particulars of the projected
meeting and Of the pastimes arranged for the
two Emperors whilst there. They are both ex-
pected TO morrow afternoon Napoleon III will
be the guest Of the King of Wurtemburg; Al
exander II will be that of his sister, the Grand
Duchess Olga, wife of Prince Charles, heir to
the crown of Wurtemburg. The Emperor of
France is to dine with the King to- morrow,
ami he two Enperors will meet in the evening
for the first time, at the beautiful villa of the
Grand Duchess near Constadt, and about one
mile from Stuttgardt, where they will spend
the evening quite en- .familLe. The Wur-
tembu,s Minister of Foreign Affairs is to give
ball. where Napoleon's first Minister, Count
Waswsk and Prince -, Prime Minister of
Alexander, will first meet. The second day,
the two Emperors will dine together at the
Kings Palace, when the Ministers of both
guests will be present.
The German papers are truly amusing in
their extravagant speculations on the object of
the meeting of the Emperors Napoleon and
Alexander. They foresee the downfall of Aus.
tria; general DISCRIMINATION of Europe; that
Russia will take Constantinople and Greece
that France will take possession of all the coun-
tries along the left shore of the Rhine, inclu-
ding Belgium; that Prussia will have Austria,
Silesa, and some other portions of Poland
and that the Prince of Wurtemberg will be ia.

joining the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, and por,
ton of Bavaria. The King of the aforementioned
country will have in exchange the German
parts of Austria and Tyrol. Hungary, they
pretend to cay, may hope to become an Jude.
pendent Kingdom, with the addition of the
Danubian Principalities; and that, should
England make bold to object, France and Rus.
STA powerful enough to force her into
measures. They say, too, that the Emperor OF
Austria and the King of Prussia are to meet
soon, to counteract the Imperial schemes at
S,uttgardt, and that the Emperor of Austria
will afterwards have special meeting with
Napoleon, to Illustrate the plans of the Russian
Car.
The English, too, have all sorts of evil fore.
bOings with respect to the meeting of the two
great Emperors and they are of the opinion
that Napoleon III intends to call the Govern
ment of Great Britain TO account for the crue
treatment Of bis uncle, whilst at st. Helena
aud that the recent creation of the medal of St
Helena. already given to the surviving soldiers
OF the first Empire, is a forernner of coming
events.
The true object of that interview will not be
made known for some time to come.
few short months past, France made war
against Russia, sacrificed the lives of thousands
o, her brave sons, and spent millions of francs
for lie glory OF taking a heap of stones; and
nos the enemies of yesterday are about to meet

which France aud England Joined against her.
