The Emperor of Austria adheres to his project of assembling
all German Princes in a great meeting to be held at Frankton on Monday next. The Kings of Denmark and Holland have declined to be present, and the King of Prussia not only objects but threatens to withdraw from the Confederation. At least twenty-four Princes have, however, accepted the invitation, and the Imperial entry ought to present a scene such as modern Europe has rarely witnessed. No effort will be spared to give solemnity to the pageant, and the debates will commence in the "Roman hall," where the German Kaisers formerly held their assemblies. The Germans outside Prussia appear delighted with the movement, and the Emperor is warmly complimented on his courage in taking the initiative, and his ability in depriving Prussia so visibly of her lead. The Prussians appear more doubtful. They hate their King, but dread Austria, and appear, on the whole, disposed to think a policy of abstention wise.
