Diversity Of European Opinion on the Meet
ing Of the Emperofs.
The meeting OF the Emperors Of Germany, Austria
and Russia is one Of those remarkable occurrences
that give rise to specuations Of the most diverse
character There was time when such an assem-
blage would have been looked upon as an evil omen
70 the liberties Of the people. The coming together
Of these powerful monarchs with their Prime Min
3sters at the present juncture, matter what may
be said to the contrary, has great significance and
d certain to bear fruit of some kind. In many
quarters 1t il stated that the chief objects In view
Are to guarantee the new territorial possessions
pf Germany and Italy and to arrive at better I'M
norstanding in reference to the treatment OF Po-
land In respect to the latter unfortunate country
the three Emperors are almost equally interested.
the Oriental question is the one, however, in which
Russia is most deeply concerned 1t Ii also stated
. that Alexander will endeavor to obtain the
consent Of his brother soveregns to acquiring some
additional advantages as to the navigation
OF the Black Sea in return for concessions or
agreements on his part which Germany and Aus
tria are prepared to submit. The question of the
Papacy, the banished Jesuits the International,
Roumania, and last, though not least, the present
condition ana future policy of France, 1t is certain
will be discussed and gravey taken into consid-
GRAFTON with reference to eventuanties. Neither
France, England nor Spain has been invited to the
conference The King OF Italy, 1t Is reported, was
invited, bnt he declined. The English government
and the English press are evidently uneasy. The
latter display considerable apprehension. The
conservative journals give credit to Germany,
having nothing to gain by war, for disposition to
maintain peace In Central Europe, acting In
friendly concert with Austria and Russia; but the
liberal journals insist that On agreement viii be
entered into by which Austria and Germany are to
be allowed to follow out their cherished policy in
the South and Russia permitted to pursue her con-
guests In Asia, which, OF course, would be to the
Injury Of Great Britain.
INITIATION OF THE CONFERENCE.
The meeting Of the Emperors owes It's initiation
20 Bsmarck. IL was quite impossible that Alexan-
der and Francis Joseph could meet unless prelimi-
nary steps of some kind were taken. The govern.
tnent of Germany, which is perhaps better pre-
pared for war than any other Power, still desires
peace. Upon the reciprocal good understanding
between the three potentates the tranquility Of
Europe substantially depends. The mingling Of the
Imperial eagles Is not, therefore, mere accident,
20 which no political Importance IL to be attributed.
iThe great significance Is the reconciliation Of Aus
aria and Russia who have been estranged since the
Crimean war broke out, eighteen years ago. Bis.
marck aimed to cause Russia to regard as bygones
what the Court OF st. Petersburg considered the
base ingratitude OF Austria In 1854 The interests
OF the two countries in many respects also conflict
hnd Bismarck hopes to bring about an agreement
n to the general course Of their policy on certain
questions Of imminent interest.
THE RECONCILIATION.
Tho military movements about to take place in
Berlin Afforded the opportunity. The Emperor Alex
ander,i then Grand Duke, vainly sought at Vienna,
during the Crimean war, for Austrian assistance
against the allies who were laundering at Sebas-
tOpOl. Nicholas by marching an army into Hun
gary actually saved the Austrian crown, and In the
most trying hours Of the late Czars existence lie
found no return for the great service he had ex.
tended to his brother monarch. As stated before,
this episode in history has not been forgotten in
6t. Petersburg, and ir remained for Bismarck after
the lapse Of many years, to bring about q recon-
Citation. The Emperor Williams invitation to
visit Berlin was accepted by both sovereigns. But
she Chancellor is credited with other views and
designs that relate particularly to France. 1t
De- said he wished to give the government OF M.
Fhers another specimen OF the reality Of his
power, and that the caucus OF the EmperOrs
ct Berlin s intended o set-oH to the great loan.
He knows that's II Is the all-pervading and passion
ate feeling OF the French to be rid OF the hated Ger
mar occupation, so as to be better able to pursue
the work OF recognizing the army and putting the
republic firmly on her feet The loan also shows the
anexhanstble wealth of the soil Of France, the con-
ndence entertained 10 the energy and enterprise of
oer children, her commercial and agricultural
greatness; and still more it proves that the indus
trial resources Of the country have not been mate
1ialy affected by the late war;
