the Russian Gar was driving about the town

was received yesterday as one Of the family at

any sort being made with him, the Kings pri-

Emperor Louis Napoleon, on aighting FROM the
railway carriage, twice embraced the King Of
Nurtemberg, Who was waiting 70 receive him.
This, doubtless, formed part Of the French pro-
gramme OF tie ceremonies; bot II certainly

cord BY the King, who Is an extremely cold,

fortunately, as the carriages were not open,
probably on account o. the scorching heat ard
dust, the Carriages and the servants were all
that the patient public got 10 see after two
hours waiting.
The troops bad hardly drawn of after the
coTtege OF carriages conveying the Emperor
and his suite to tn palace had passed By, when
a fsidjagT rode rapidly through the gardens by
the side Of the palace, aHd had hardly time to
clear a space through the crowd, when the En-
perorof Russia drove up in a carriage and pair
with bic brotheF- in-law, the Prince Of Hesse,
and followed BY a single a~djutant. Ny letter
OF yesterday has told you that the two En-
perors would dine to-day with their respective
hOstes separately, and meet for the first time
this evening at the entertainment given by the
crown prince, and y may be that this is true
still; bat IL Il be Otherwise, aud the Emperor of
Russia has come to dine with he King aud his
Inperisl easst, should Be disposed 70 believe,
from the excelience Of my authority for the
former version, shat his Russian Majesty has
unexpectedly deviated from the arrangements
that well informed members OF the court be-
lieved yesterday 70 be still valid.
It Is possible also that the visit is only one
Of formal g~reeti1E, and a mark Of attention to
the French Emperor ; on the other hand, a
much more surprising deviation from the in
tended programme, which / have been enabled
already TO announce to you by telegraph, con-
sists in the approaching arrival Of the Empress
OF Russia, which Is now expected totake place
tomorrow. 1t is also a novelty ia the arrange
ments that it should have been decided at
length that the prince Of Prussia shall come
hither to. greet the Emperor Louis Napoleon in
the name Of the King, bis brother; Cor II had
hitherto been understood that be would pay
his respects to The French Emperor, in his
character OF military governor Of the RhRnish
provinces only, Whsn the latter should touch
upon Pmssian territory on bis return home
wards.
The reasons that we're hitherto supposed to
have deferred the Empress OF Russia from ac-
eonpanying the Emperor hither were stated
generally TO be questions Of etiqaetts-a phrase
which says nothing Of itself and leaves every
thing 10 Be guessed al any rate they we're GER
tainly not political, and, with reference to her
husbands wishes and Interests, not very poll

much smiss that the Emperor Louis Napoleon
should have decided e OK the meeting 20 tase

her brother, the Grand Duke OF Hesse, With
whom she had been staying hitherto. She was
also supposed to object to meeting two persons

and she is to arrive tomorrow.
STUTTGART, S~eptsmber26 -Immediately az
ter the King had conducted the Emperor Louis
Napoleon to his " palace, and Introduced
him 10 the Queen and the rest Of the ROYAL
family, be presented 10 the Emperor the mem
bers OF the household and the court officials.
The Emperor bestowed on each a few afabie
words, as far as this was possible where the
greater the number Of persons addressed was
totally unknown to hin, and the household
then Withdrew into the side rooms and coui-
doris, while The King and the Emperor on their
part retired GaAs it Is iniaiears.
AfmUss Immediately drITT, aud Write the
Tetinue Of the French Emperor was improving
its Acquaintance with the members Of the Wur-
t~embufg household, the folding doors near
where they were standing were thrown open,
and the Emperor OF Russia was announced as
close at hand. The Emperor Louis Napoleon,
Immediately on being informed Of the vicinity
Of the Emperor Alexander, left bis apartment
IN all haste, and met the Emperor Alexander
Just as he advanced bot a few steps into the
room. They shook hands very cordially, and
their eountensnces we're made to express the
greatest qualification at their meeting, and they
thus withdrew into a private room, remote
from eyes ~prOfane. When they parted, after
this FIRST and not very heightened Interview,
the Emperor Louis Napoleon, who at the mo-
ment Of bis Fastening TO meet the Emperor
Alexander still wore the red riband OF the Wur-
tsmburg order OF the crown was observed to
have on the blue band Of the Russian order of
s.. Andrew. From the above you will per-
eeive that, however much thought and calcu-
lation have been bestowed upon this meeting,
the actual contact and grasp of the hand, the
very act Of meeting, took place under very
different circumstances than Doubtless had
been Teckoned on.
Having given you the above, which, though
an authentic account, is not very amusing, !
will now report to you what " perfectly well
informed persons" relate to each other and
their friends as having taken place at the paI-

arranged Ia the palace, you must know, thar
me King was TO occupy a large room adjoining
the apartments Of the French Emperor, and Il
was into the next room to the kings on toe
other eide that the Emperor Alexander was
shown on occasion Of this his visit. On a sig
nal given BY the king, the doors we're opened
on each side, and the two Emperors. without
according TO each other a moment or an inch
Of precedence, advanced into the middle of the
room and made each others acquaintance IN
the kings presence. From an equally excel

ern history, VIZ: sOi die SAINT " weIl-iuformed
persons" 1 have learned the true reason why
the two Emperors agreed to meet at this court
rather than any other; it is because the king
is very deaf, and 50 would be unable to catch

The TePuted tomb Of David is Just outside
Zion gate, hard BY the Cpnsculun and Amer
lean cemetery. Il is surrounded by an irreg-
ular pile OF buildings, AMI surmOunted BY a
dome and minaFet. In the ~interior are some
OF the most grotes1ue architectural em6ellish-
ments imaginable, on the capitals Of some OF
the remains Of the crlsadeTs' architecture. just
think Of the frightful owl occupying the place
OF the classic acanthus and the mythic lotus
We passed the several halls and corridors, evil
IDENTIFY Of the style Of the Qlixohe era Of the
crusaders domination, before reaching the con-
seerated apartment, whose entrance is guarded
by double iron doors. We found here an old
dervise, PROSTATE in prayer, on the cold stone
aoor. Not being privileged, as we, to enter
the sacred precincts, be was content with ga
zing at the tomb through the iron bars; FOR It
is . rare thing for a Mussuimsa ecclesiastle
TO gain a&mttance-
The room is Insignificant In its dimensions,
but is furnished very gorgeously. The tomb
is apparently an immense sareophsgus OF rough
stone, and Is covered by green satin tapestry,
richly embroidered with gold. To thisa piece
Of black velvet is attached, with a few inscTip-
tons from the Koran embroidered also in gold.
