The interest of the Continent, in the coming meeting of
the three Emperors increases daily. It is said that Cardinal Antonelli is so alarmed that he has counselled the Pope to make peace with Italy, lest further injury befall the Church, and it is certain that Panalavic demonstrations carefully prepared in Bohemia have been suddenly abandoned. The French journals comfort themselves with the thought that no Russian promise is valid except as against the Czar who made it, and the German journals hope that the meeting will abate the enthusiasm created by the success of the loan. On the other hand, there are signs that the bases of accord among the Emperors are not yet fully agreed on ; that the Czar and the Austrian Kaiser are to have a long interview before they admit their German brother; and that Prince Bismarck is just a little doubtful of perfect success, owing to the distinct
clash of German and Russian interests in Denmark. At least, that is the way we interpret the manner in which the Prince's organs ascribe the " merit " of the interview to Kaiser William, and fuss about Northern Schleswig, while all the Danish papers are singing songs of hope to the Czar.
