GENERAL FOREIGN DISPATCHES.

KRENsIER, August 27.-The imperial
meeting is to Austria and Russia very much
what the famous meeting of the Field Of the
Cloth of Gold was in the sixteenth century
to France and England. The Cars visit
will forever remain memorable for the ex-
traordinary display Of pomp and msgnih-
cence made by the Austrian court; but
nearly al the thinking men talked with re-
gard to the whole affair as one Of expedi,
ency ard policy, and not even, as . guaran-
tee OF good relations between the two en-
pires.
The Emperors met as friends, but the two
nations do not. They at heart detest each
other. All Austrian liberals feel convinced
that the development Of constitutionslism
in Austria can never be aided BY any ex-
change of views between Kaiser Franz JOS
eph and the Autocrat Of the Russias.
Growls of discomfort against Russian prin-
ciples are heard in all the provinces Of Aus
tria. A deputation Of 500 Poles we're visit
ing the Pesth Exposition simultaneously
with the Car 8 visit to Kremsier, and all the
complicated machinery Of the AuStro- Hun
rarian police was needed to prevent popular
manifestations in favor ot the Poles and
against Russian autocracy.
An Old Story Repeated.
In reference TO the immediate results OF
The Imperial visit, prominent Austrian
statesman remarked yesterday: Just as

isl visitors were specially guarded.
What the Interview Cost.
The cost of the Kremsier interview will
be 25O, 600 forms, which will be paid out OF
toe Emperor's private purse. Considering
hat every year large percentage OF the SIX
millions forming His Majestys civil list is
devoted to charitable purposes it must be
,dmitted that the Austrian Kaiser has done
,hirgs handsomely. Certainly not a mur-
