THE IMPERIAL MEETING AT SUIT.
GARDT.


The secret conference between the Emperor
of the French and the Autoerat of all the
Russias. at old Stuttgardt, has produced
feverish anxiety in England, and throughout
the continent Of Europe generally. Reports
and speculations various and conflicting, are
rife with regard to the subjects discussed. A |
German journal asserts in an authoritative
manner that the principal questions conferred
upon, were 1st, negotiations for an English
French Allan, I'd, measures &c in
sure the peace of Europe, and guarantee the
possession of present territories Sd, the Ital-
ian question 4th, the union of the Princi
palities under the Porte ; 5th, the Danish
question, and reforms in the German Fsder-
al Constitution. Minor questions are said
to have been The succession to the throne
of Greece I; Herat and India China; and
the canal of Suez. This, of course, is mere
speculation, and altogether improbable when
we consider the brcvity of the time allotted
to these interviews. Time, however, will
reveal the secrets, if secrets there be.
The Gar is described as being avery hand
some man, closely resembling his father. He
has jovial locking face, and looks as he
would like to be at "peace with all the
world and the rest of mankind" He wears
his whiskers Ia militaire, and looks every
inch king. Napoleon's face is by no means
| as pleasing as that of his uncle, and its con-
tour is entirely different. His eyes are light
an have sinister expression, and when he
turns them around, he looks as if he meant
mischief. His enormous moustache and long
goattee give him a very disagreeable appear
ance. On the whole, his face expresses en-
ergy, determination, and cunning.
Among the distinguished persons present
at the conference was the King of Written
berg, who is the Oldest reigning sovereign in
Europe, having celebrated his seventy-sev-
enth birthday, though he appears not over
sixty. He is portly man, quite active, and
is beloved by his people. The Queen is his
second wife, and apparently some twenty
years his junior. She is large, healthy
looking woman, and makes a great display
of dress and jewelry. The Empress Maria
Alexandrowna, of Russia, is noble looking
lady, dressed in magnificent style, and spark
ling with jewelry. She is tall, with fail
complexion and blue eyes. 1t issaid she wa.
opposed to meeting the Emperor and En-.
press of the French, because they admit tina
they are parrenus. The Qneen Of Greece is
small, slender lady, with dark eyes and hair
She is said to be sharp, keen diplomatist
and lady Of great energy Of character.
All the hotels in stuttgardt were crowde,
to overfowing, and the public offices wer
filled with houseless strangers, who ha'
focked from all parts to get n glimpse a
royalty and attend the annual Fair. Tn
interesting visit of the important parsonage
whom we have briefly described terminate,
with the Fair, at which an amusing scene &C
Cured during the presentation of prizes a
the Kings stand. A farmer was driving
very large black sow, and behind came tw
peasant girls, dressed out in their holida
attire drawing q small wagon. All wondere
what the girls had in the wagon, when 10! be
hold! when opposite the king they commenc
ed emptying the wagon of little black pig.
One after another were pulled out by tn
hind legs until the enormous number Of III
> teen were placed around the gratifed moth
er. Such shouts oflaughter were ne Ter heart
:, and if Napoleon never laughed before he di
then. The farmer, Of course, got q priz,
and so did the girls.
