King Charles of Roumania has been staying at Potsdam, and
acting as sponsor to the second son of Prince and Princess William of Prussia, the great-grandson of the Emperor of Germany. The German Court has been making a great fuss about King Charles, as has also the Austrian Court about the King of Servia, who has been staying at Vienna. Evidently, the little Sovereigns of this pm t of the world are just now in re- quest, for the Prince of Montenegro has been staying at Con- stantinople, where the Sultan appears to have done all in his power to reconcile to himself his ancient foe. The German Powers are anxious to secure their influence in the Valley of the Danube and the Balkans, and to counteract the supposed designs and intrigues of Russia. But whether Prince Nikita's interchange of courtesies with the Sultan is suggested by Russia or by Germany, it would at present be difficult to decide.
