the two Emperors at Stuttgardt is already
made known to the public Napoleon proposed
young Prince Murat as King for the Danubian
Principalities. The acquiescence of England
was doubtless already secured, and the Gar

schemes but it was too late. Murat was sent
in haste to Berlin, to obtain the consent of the
King of Prussia, in which he succeeded without
difficulty. This IS an important step for the
rapid progress of civilization in that part of the
world. France will doubtless furnish the King
