The foreign correspondents of English and German journals are greatly
interested in a sudden and secret journey which Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria has just made to Munich, where he arrived on the 10th inst. He is to be absent from Sofia for a fortnight, and every kind of reason has been assigned for his journey. He has quarrelled with M. Stambouloff ; he has resolved to abdicate; he has been summoned to visit Vienna, but must not go there until the Czar has gone home ; he has been betrothed to a lady of the Bavarian House, and wishes to see her; he has to negotiate for his recognition ; he is going to see the French Exhibition,—and so on, and so on. It is most probable that the sentimental explanation is the true one, as Munich is not a natural centre for political negotiations of any kind; but the Prince will doubtless, on his return, confer with important personages in Vienna. It seems to be for- gotten, too, that Bavaria is a German State, and that the Prince may wish his claims to be pressed upon the German Emperor, by a House which the Hohenzollerns always con- ciliate, before the departure for Constantinople. The incident may be important ; but correspondents just now are greatly in want of material for bulletins.
