The Cars Visit to Berlin and Ems.
In q letter from Berlin to the Hdnlburgtscle, Cor
respondent we find the following observations on
the recent visit of the Czar to the Prussian capta
An intelligent observer might have assumed, with.
out falling into the vulgar mistake of regarding every
meeting Of crowned heads the harbinger OF great
political combinations, that the atterlng reception
given to the Emperor by the Prusslan court, on his
recent visit to Germany, had something more than
purely personal significance: On the warm welcome
with which he greeted on his arrival at the
railway terminus on the 18th OF May, and all The
honors paid him in Berlin 1t is unnecessary to dwell
Soon afterwards June p the Gar was visited by his
Prusslan Majesty and Count Bismarck III Ems
where the Federal Chancellor was so cordially
received by the Emperor Alexander that the I'M
perla court could not but follow the example,
and overwhelmed the Prussan Minister with the
most obging attentions. Then succeeded the journey
OF the Crown Prince to Bresau to salute the Empe-

Ems to his own States II is true that neither the
Crown Prince nor the Chancellor happened TO be in
Berlin on the 18th OF May when the Gar arrived and

King OF Prussia; and this for the excellent reason
that in the first place. 1t Is still impossible 10 cOnjec-
ture the period when the final union OF North and
South may be expected: and secondly, because the
idea Of an Emperor OF Germany rests as yet on no
better foundation than the dreams OF certain parlia
menary circles. An understanding between Russia
and Prussia for the attainment OF these ends could
hardly he arrived at unless certain corresponding
concessions were made by the latter to the former
power, which would be tantamOunt to practical
abandonment by Prussia Of her freedom Of action.
Such a remuneration 1t is evident, would stand III
direct contradiction TO the whole internal and ex-
ternal policy OF Count Bismarck.
